What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Cravings Deli is praised for its delicious Pan-Asian fare, friendly service, and unique market atmosphere. Many highlight the ramen and boba teas as standouts. However, some reviews mention concerns about pricing and consistency, with one diner finding the food bland and overpriced.
"The Tonkotsu Ramen was good with nice flavor, very rich. Love the pork belly. Wish the egg yolk was softer. Only complaint was the broth needed to be filtered. It looked like pieces of bone marrow was floating. Oh, banana coffee was interesting, but good."

"The Black Forrest Cake is the best I've ever had. Very good Ramen, the summer rolls taste very fresh. The service is friendly, the atmosphere is very cute and welcoming. I love how it feels like I've gone on a quick getaway."
