The Nomnomgram!

• The Quality of the food is always consistent and there is honestly nothing wrong with the food quality. They have a wide range of little dishes and also sides that you can have with your meal. Example: Chicken Karaage (Fried chicken), Fish cakes, Prawn Tempura, Vegetable Tempura, Fried Tofu and etc. Every time I go there it the food quality is consistent and there wasn't one time where I went and the food tasted different or weird!

• The Service of this place is really good. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very traditional so they have Japanese music playing in the background and the chefs and waitresses are all Japanese so don't feel alarmed when they will do the occasional "irrashaimase" -  いっらしゃいませ meaning "Welcome"! They're very friendly although their English may not be Top notch =\

• The Pricing of the food is super dooper affordable! The meals are at an average of $3-$4 and it comes in Regular or Large sized dishes which is great because you can have entrée sized meals or normal meal sizes! Their side dishes are at an average of $3 which is awesome cause you can mix 'n match! 

• The Quantity of their food is very good. Everything is made and cooked fresh in front of you and there's nothing weird or strange that they put in your food. It's very clean and with the price, you get a lot for your buck! 

*** Side Notes

The franchising company of Mappen actually 

have other stores as well, where each of 

them focus on specific types of food. So 

Mappen is more popular for their Udon and 

Soba noodles (which you can have it both 

hot or cold, talk about seasonal food!) whilst 

they have right next door, Oiden which 

focuses more on rice (they have exceptional 

food too! You MUST try the Salmon flakes rice 

bowl *drooool*) and they also have Tenkomori 

Ramen House which as of course sells more 

Ramen noodles. 

Mappen is really great especially for those who 

want a good quality cheap feed! You get super 

full and its pretty clean and there's very minimal 

oil prepared with the food so you will be feeling 

pretty dandy rather than oily and crappy x.x

Anywhooo... Have a great day and I'll be posting another Nomnom Blog later today because I missed one yesterday =D

Meanwhile, don't forget to smileeeee!
