We finally made it over to Kyuramen, next to Tbaar in the Best Buy shopping center! We wanted to let the crowds die down first because we all know how Huntsville flocks to a new restaurant (insert eyeroll)
Overall, we absolutely loved the atmosphere and the experience. The modern Japanese décor and signature honeycomb seating creates a pretty cool environment. They serve traditional Japanese comfort food like ramen, tonkatsu, curry rice, and the highlight of the visit - omurice. You can’t find it anywhere else in Huntsville!
We started with the Honeycomb Platter, which gave us a good sampling of appetizers. Our favorites were the Popcorn Chicken and Chili Garlic Edamame. The Takoyaki was good, but the tofu wasn’t really for us.
Angela ordered the Pork Tonkatsu Curry Rice. You can choose demi-glace instead of curry, but the curry was fantastic. The pork was a little dry, though it still had good flavor.
Next came the star of the meal—at least for one of us! 😂 I ordered the Tonkatsu Omurice, which came with a fried pork cutlet and my choice of sauce. I went with the demi-glace. It isn’t sweet; it’s more like a rich, savory gravy.
A couple of things to know before ordering omurice:
1. If you don’t like eggs, this probably isn’t for you—which is why Angela wasn’t a fan.
2. The eggs are intentionally soft and slightly runny, so keep that in mind if you prefer your eggs fully cooked.
We’ve tried making omurice at home, and it is not easy. It’s essentially a soft, fluffy omelet folded into a pillow shape and placed over chicken fried rice. The omelet is then sliced down the center, allowing the egg to bloom open over the rice. We’ll post a Reel of that later.
Lastly, we had to try one of the teas from Kyuramen’s sister establishment, Tbaar. We chose the Fresh Passion Fruit Tea. We’re not normally big fans of the boba tea craze, but this drink was refreshing and surprisingly good.
Overall, we’re fans! Next time, we’ll definitely order a bowl of ramen and try another one of those fantastic teas.
