Really weird circumstance

Takara was way below Tenka in my opinion. Tenka was great for lunch when I had to be downtown.

That place is terrible. Went there one time and the ramen I purchased had Philly Cheesesteak style meat and it was missing obvious ramen ingredients. Highly recommend not going there.

🤣🤣

The one in the COVID vaccine was free so I don't see why not.

Is this the thing Youngkin signed the other day? I'm surprised to see good things actually come from him.

Is the neural link brain chip implant going to be free (paid by taxpayers) as well?

I've never mentioned myself so I think process of elimination that should be clear.

Don’t know how I missed that!

awesome! i had to quit therapy because it was $140 a week 😵‍💫

Real not good, bland

Ah I see, well I’m sorry about all the instability and uncertainty this is causing you and the other staff members.

Also calling your insurance company and explaining that you have x issue for y time and z family/personal history may motivate them to help either skip a referral/get a new pcp or find a specialist. Insurance would rather catch a problem early in most cases then pay for more expensive treatment.

New name, probably very similar menu and vibe

Potential to move to his payroll but that’s literally all we were told by our current ownership. I found out about the menu via Facebook from the owner himself.

Staff being divided to other EAT stores if they want. I just don’t want to lose foo or my close coworkers. Sucks a lot.

Regarding your edit: Does the new owner intend to keep running it as Foo Dog?? I feel like im seeing 5 different things online about this.

Takara was alright. I should give them another try. And yes tenka has weird hours.

IDK I used to go when I worked downtown but I haven't been in years.

When are they like, actually open??

Richmond just isn't ready for a real ramen spot; rip Ejay Rin.

Tenka downtown is great - they just have weird hours. Aforementioned Ramen Spot on grace is decent, but my favorite is Takara out on broad near sam's club. I wish it was in the city, but it's worth the drive. The new spot opening in church hill should be good. I had it when they were doing pop ups at the jasper during COVID, and the tonkotsu was pretty banging, just interested to see how they flesh out the rest of the menu.

i will take any extra Bao Wow that is left

Tenka is very good. I wish the servings were bigger but it's the closest I've had around here to what I had in Japan.

The Jasper folks are opening one in Church Hill (https://richmondmagazine.com/restaurants-in-richmond/food-news/when-the-broth-hits-the-lips/) I think they've had pop ups in the past, but no direct experience with how it was then.

I’ve eaten there twice and enjoyed it both times but I’m far from a ramen connoisseur so I have no idea how it stacks up with other spots. Service was fast, it was warm and tasty so no complaints.

I like that place, the Ramen is solid

e: It's not ramen tetsu ya, but I've ordered several times and never had a bad experience, some of these sound like one offs or people not realizing what they were ordering.
