Kaiju in Amherst

We were really excited to try Kaiju. We were nervous about going because of COVID and it's in a basement and a small space, but we saw we could order a ramen take home kit. And actually, right now everything is takeout. We got four orders of vegetarian ramen that is advertised as vegan, and some extra noodles. The ramen is good, it's just not the kind of ramen I wanted. Additionally, we ordered one ramen to have extras--an egg, some crispies, some extra scallions, some spicy sauce. All were good, except they put an egg in every ramen box. This would not be a big issue, but the egg is somewhat runny and overflowed a little, and my husband is vegan. So he got egg yolk on his noodles, some fungus, and maybe some bok choy. Fortunately we were able to use the extra noodles and he could pick around the toppings to ensure he got egg-free toppings. But this was disappointing. The ramen: while tasty was quite sweet. The broth was oily, which some people would rate as delicious and others might see as too oily. But they served it with miso-roasted sweet potato (sweet) and stewed bamboo shoots that seem to have been marinated in a very sugary sauce. The overwhelming sugar was not exactly what we were looking for. I think the sweet potato was a bit of a meat substitute, rather than tofu, but I think I would have preferred a savory tofu to a sweet sweet potato. The noodles are fat, and they do provide a good amount, so much tha...

Great food parking can be tough at times if there's events going on in the center of Amherst they are open lunches right now even though Google says they aren't and the entrance for the pickups is a set of stairways leading downstairs like you're going to a basement to the right of Johnny's

Couldn't even find the entrance walked the whole building twice!!!! called 3 times and no one answered that's ridiculous.
