I tried octopus balls for the first time!

I’ve always loved packed ramen noodles but after today, I will never look at packed ramen noodles the same way! I found one of the best ramen spots in town called Rokaru Ramen, serving the closest you will get to authentic ramen! Their menu consists of appetizers, Rokaru rice, Yakitori, ramen and many unique drinks including milk tea, Jasmine green tea, slushies and more!

I, of course, had to get an appetizer to start off with, but I decided to get something I’ve never tried before, octopus balls. I was very flustered when it was first served to my table because the bonito flakes that are served on top were moving so I was like “uh un”, the server explained that Bonito flakes only move due to their thin and light structure upon the presence of hot and warm food. That was pretty reassuring so I continued to take my very first bite! It was literally AMAZE BALLS! I was mind blown that I was actually enjoying octopus balls!

I also built my own ramen, with the help of my amazing server, Jerry I was able to put together the perfect ramen bowl which consisted of chicken soup base, shoyu base tare, topped with shrimp tempura, corn, scallions, seaweed, beansprouts, and a soft boiled egg spiced at a 1 of a 0-4 scale. My first bite was a legit jaw dropper! Everything came together so perfect, every bite was bursting of delicious flavors

I lastly ordered milk tea, which was also something I was trying for the very first time. It came in a cute souvenir cup and boy oh boy was it good. It faintly reminded me of the taste of milk after eating a bowl of Froot Loops.

If you are looking for a place to try some amazing ramen, rokaru rice or milk tea, this is the place for you!

Love At First Bite

I’ve always loved egg rolls, and I’ve always loved Philly cheesesteaks! But what if I told you I found a local restaurant that serves Philly cheesesteak egg rolls!? Local chef Big A literally made this possible by creating and perfecting this amazing menu at The Lunchbox Carryout.

The Lunchbox Carryout opened September 2021 catering amazing foods such as 5 different signature egg rolls, signature sandwiches, cheesesteaks, wings, alfredo and more.

I had the Philly cheesesteak roll served with their signature yum yum sauce which they make from scratch & oh my goodness let me tell Y'all, it was THE BEST yum yum sauce I’ve had by far. Once I dipped my egg roll into the yum yum sauce and took a bite, I immediately tasted a burst of amazing flavors. Not to mention, between the crunch and the cheesiness of the Philly cheesesteak egg roll I literally fell in love at first bite!

I also had their wings with a side of their signature sauces such as Mango Habanero, BBQ, Buffalo & Grippo, Yeah you heard that right GRIPPO!

Honestly I can’t even put into words how fresh and delicious the food at The Lunchbox Carryout is! You just have to taste it to see what I really mean! Go see for yourself and check them out !!
