YOKOHAMA IEKEI RAMEN – UNION CITY, CA (BAY AREA)

We are here again last night – Sunday. We were here around 7:45pm and still couple empty tables, so no wait.  My previous review is here: Yokohama Iekei 1st Visit

We ordered Fried Squid – my hubby’s favorite, anything seafood for him. I wish it was cut into smaller pieces. You will have 3 large pieces in an order.

I ordered Black Garlic Ramen – my favorite! Soup was hot and super garlic flavorful. It use to be 1 thick pieces of pork, but not it changed to 2 thin cut pieces of pork, still very tender and flavorful!

Hubby ordered Shio Ramen – soup was flavorful, but I still like my black garlic better 🙂

Soft Boil Egg – overcooked! Same thing happened to us last time. Really if they can serve a good soft boil egg, it would be perfect!

MAI LEE VIETNAMESE RESTAURANT – ST. LOUIS, MO (BRENTWOOD)

I really wanted to keep loving you Mai Lee. I’ve a patron since I was a kid, from your old location to moving to this bigger new location. Nonetheless, you really have disappointed me the last couple times in terms of service, quality and portion.

The food still taste ok, but definitely sense the decrease. My favorite Beef Pho noodle soup doesn’t taste as bold, punch as before. Oh and the service is a hit or miss, so I guess it will depend on my luck.

Worst of all, the portion is so tiny. I can’t even begin to describe how much is has changed. I am not a big eater, and I wasn’t really full after the meal. I remembered I used to be holding my stomach home after dining at your old location!

Alright, lets see … we always ordered #12 off the menu:

Beef & Beef Ball Noodle Soup – we have ONE piece of beef ball, but cut into 4 tiny pieces. REALLY!? Seriously!? 1 into 4! The noodle soup is $7.95 per bowl, I would think you can do better … and least if you throw in couple more piece it would look better presentation wise? Oh well … I am not sure if I wanted to give you another chance. Yes, you are the closest to me, but not the best anymore.

Beef with Beef Ball Noodle Soup – very small portion 😦 only 1 piece of meat ball cut into 4 tiny pieces!!
