The first time I heard about Camellia was via a post on IG. I kind of fell in love with a picture of their rainbow noodle ramen and knew that I needed to try them out. I got the chance to do so yesterday.
I ordered the Build Your Own Ramen (16). For this dish you can choose your noodles (original, matcha, butterfly pea flower, rainbow, etc.), soup flavor (tokatsu, miso, shoyu, tsukemen, etc.), protein (pork, chicken, shrimp or tofu) and toppings. I got mine with Rainbow noodles, Tsukemen dipping broth, pork chasu and toppings of half boiled egg, baby bok choy, and bean sprouts.
It’s a very colorful dish and I just loved the presentation. The best part is, their ramen is made with natural flavors and ingredients. For the colorful rainbow noodles, they use butterfly pea flower, cuttle fish paste, beets, matcha and carrots.
The noodles were perfectly cooked, the egg was delicious with a nice soft yolk and the pork chasu was super tender and had a nice smoky flavor. The Tsukemen dipping broth was a little too salty to sip as a broth but perfect for dipping.
I also got an order of their pork belly bao (4). The baos comes with a piece of lettuce, spicy mayo, pickled mustard, and finely grounded peanuts. The ground peanuts were a nice touch of texture and the pork belly was melt-in-your mouth tender. Absolutely delish!
You get a free scoop of gelato with your meal or with Yelp check-in. Both ramen, teas and gelato are all made in house daily. I ordered the Ferrero Rocher gelato and it was excellent! Not overly sweet with a nice creamy texture. Perfect way to end a ramen meal.
Definitely will be coming back again!
