Baka Americana - Poughkeepsie

Had ramen there, with elk instead of meat broth (they have pork, huh) with tofu and a lot of sweet. they have blasphemy and militia that are really good! I recome the thai tee taste. they are very nice and professional. I would definitely visit again. edit: look at the reviews, there are many people who are bitter, but it's a joke. If these angry people who review the restaurant would have a sense of humor, they would get that.

This was our first time eating here. The friendly staff was very helpful in explaining the ordering process. Since we were the only ones there at the time, it didn't take long to receive our food. We went with the house bowl, red bean dumplings and boba fruit teas. Everything was very good. From the appearance (which is important) and the taste. The bowl was filling and plentiful. The price seemed fair and average for this type of meal as well. I would say perhaps including a better description on the store sign would let people know what kind of food they serve. I only happened to notice because they had small hand written writing on the door saying Ramen and Boba. Overall great experience though! I would definitely recommend it and look forward to eating there again soon to try the many varieties of bowls they have to offer!

The pros: The staff was very friendly and helpful. The steamed pork bun was very good. The broth in my ramen was decent (pictured below). The egg was cooked perfectly. The bok choy was tangy and tasty. The cons: The jasmine milk tea was luke warm and the bobas were too soft. My husband’s broth tasted like plain, store bought broth. The noodles were just okay. The pork was super dry and flavorless. Just meh. Wishing it was more authentic.

Prices were quite reasonable. The options for boba tea were extensive, interesting and tasty. However when it came to the ramen it was a different story. The broth was almost flavorless amidst clumps of noodles, mushrooms and good meat. Lead to a mixed taste. Enjoyed my experience overall though.

Absolutely horrible. A waste of $35.00. It taste like overcooked 10 cents ramen noodles in soup broth with no flavor. The egg was NOT seasoned and overcooked. The meat was not good. It tasted cheap. 12 dollars for a bowl should taste and look much better than that. The kitchen staff was not trained on making ramen. It's a shame. I will definitely not go back.
