Is the ramen at Onago Kitchen truly the best in Lampung? This review says yes! Discover why its legendary ramen, with a rich broth and perfect noodles, lives up to the hype. While the ramen is a must-try, the fresh hot pot and surprisingly delicious desserts also get high praise. It's a top spot in Lampung City Mall with a great ambiance for gatherings, but you might want to skip the sushi for now.
Girls, there's been a lot of hype lately about a Japanese restaurant in Lampung City Mall called Onago Kitchen. Everyone's saying their ramen is "the best in Lampung" 🍜. As your frontline agent, I had to go check it out for myself!
The moment I walked in, the ambiance was undeniably great. The space is spacious and clean, and with the warm-toned lighting, the vibe is totally on point. Any photo you take looks great, so it's no wonder so many people bring their families or meet up with friends to Nongkrong[1] here.
The Pros First, The Cons Later
First, the verdict: The signature dishes are definitely a hit!
Ramen Series: A must-order! The legendary "Number One Ramen in Lampung"[2] is called that for a reason. That broth is savory and rich (gurih~), the noodles have the perfect chewiness, and paired with generous chunks of meat and toppings, one bite is truly Mantap!
Hot Pot & Grill: If you're with a big group, go for the Shabu & Grill[3]. The ingredients are very fresh, you can see the quality, and the bubbling sound as it cooks is so therapeutic.
Desserts: The after-meal dessert was a huge surprise! From the layers of texture to the flavor, everything was on point. It's not at all like those half-hearted after-meal sweets[4]. Love it, love it.
But, Let's Be Honest...
Although it's great overall, there are two minor complaints I just have to get off my chest:
- 1. The sushi was a bit of a letdown: I was really looking forward to the sushi too, but the new salmon sushi was honestly a bit disappointing[5]... Both the flavor and texture were lacking. It felt like it didn't live up to its potential. Girls, you might want to avoid this one for now.
- 2. A little secret about the portions: While most dishes have generous portions, a regular secretly told me that they feel the portions have gotten just a tiny bit smaller than before[6]. Not sure if it's just my imagination, haha, but it's probably to control costs (economy! i get it 😉).
My Honest Guide
Overall, this place is still very much worth a visit. The 4.9 high score on Google and the huge number of repeat customers aren't for nothing[7]. If you plan to go, keep these points in mind:
- Go on holidays if you want a lively atmosphere: They often have events like Live Music for Christmas and New Year's, and the vibe is amazing! But it gets very crowded, so it's best to call `0812-2760-6868` to book in advance[8].
- Look out for discounts if you want to save money: Follow their IG! Around times like Mother's Day or the 12.12 shopping festival, they often have discounted packages or special offers[9]. Every little bit saved counts
- Go for 'Lampung's #1 Ramen'[1]! Rich, savory broth (gurih~), chewy noodles, and big chunks of meat make it truly Mantap!
- With a group? Get the Shabu & Grill[2]! Watching the fresh ingredients bubble in the pot is so comforting & delicious!
- Don't skip dessert! A surprise star, not a basic afterthought[3]. The layers of flavor are incredible
