KEN CHAN RAMEN

"Definitely one of the most unique places to visit in Lubbock! Its food and Ken Chan buns are the best! I’ve had nothing but absolute best experience in the two times I have visited. The food leaves you feeling so full in the end! The bowels serve quite a good amount too! Though I know the food might not be acquire everyone’s taste. It is still a good place to try out! Highly recommend their ramen and rice bowels!"

"I know why they put bars across the windows…it’s to keep people from escaping after first tasting their food. Seriously, my daughter and I both ordered #1’s. She got brisket; I got the pork. Both were horrible. The ramen had a wet, dirty-dog smell. The server asked if we wanted to go containers. We opted to take one home to give to my wife. She tried a bite. Spit it out and said it tasted like “old feet meat”. The service was bad as well. Our waitress never once asked if the food was good. I think she knew what the answer would be. Hands down the worst ramen I’ve ever had."

"Atmosphere was nice and neat. Dining room is small but that’s not necessarily a negative if you are a small party. Tables are close together. The service was good, but not great. At no point did the waitress remove the appetizer dish or empty plates as we finished. The FOOD was not great but good. The bowl was bland and seemed to lack any flavor. The salad was good but nothing more than greens, salty crispers, coated with too much dressing. The main dish just left much to be desired. Felt like I was broth out of a grocery store with some heated noodles and meat."

"Edit** we have gone back twice since this original review two almost three weeks ago. The food was wonderful and the flavor lived up to expectations. However, we had friends we finally convinced to try Ken Chan and they said they would not be back because of the same server problem we had. John is quite literally going to run away customers. His jokes when he gets your food wrong are not funny and maybe he shouldn’t try to memorize your order and should write it down if he can’t get it right. He’s been the problem 4/5 times. My friend is 9mo pregnant and couldn’t even get a refill of water from him and when she asked another server he gave her a dirty look. Unacceptable. The girl we had was wonderful and checked up on us and made sure we had everything we needed! I didn’t catch her name but she was newer and very nice. It’s like it goes 2 steps forward and 3 steps back with this place. We just order our food to go and no longer get appetizers or drinks or anything. I added pictures of when we last went with the girl server before we switched to just carry out now. Food is great again but John’s gotta go. ** The servers are not very attentive and lately have gotten my order wrong the last 2x I’ve gone. The broth seems inconsistent and is really good some days and okay on others. My husband loves this place but to regularly go at least once a week and experience this multiple times is bad. We are going to try other ramen places in Lubbock."

"We ventured in here to let my son get his ramen fix. The restaurant has a fun atmosphere. My waitress Savannah was the best ever. The service was quick. The ramen was good. If you would like to have drinks with your meals there were tons of choices."
