Journey East Noodle - Mandeville

My wife and I have made Journey East a weekly Saturday tradition after our first visit. We are big fans of the delicious food and peaceful atmosphere. The BBQ bao buns are absolutely addictive, and the quality of the food is always consistent. Overall, it's a fantastic spot with a laid-back and welcoming vibe.

The wonton are possibly the best I've ever had! Everything was fantastic

I got the beef ramen. It was $16. The beef(flavorless) and the egg(idk of it was sitting or what) was not the best. But the everything else was on point I wanted to actually drink the broth after I was done I added the purple packet and Sriracha that they provided. That part gets a 10/10. But for 16 bucks I’d want the meat and egg to be just as good and not bland. So that sucked.

We loved it. I've eaten ramen all over the world, and this was the best I've had in Louisiana. I'd prefer the traditional pork belly to the denser pork loin, but I get it. They're just catering to their localmarket. Both the spicy miso based broth and the traditional tonkotsu broth were excellent, and the price is very reasonable. The service was exceptional. We'll definitely be back. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was due to the lack of pork belly. All in all a great dining experience.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian broth based ramen on menu.Kid-friendliness: Anime art throughout restaurant.Parking: Easy parking. Large strip-mall lit.

Easily one of the best bowls of ramen I've had, with great prices too. Nice selection of ramen options and add ins, as well as dumplings and other offerings.
