Matsuharu Japanese - El Paso

Food is great... But my frequent situation that bothers me always is the place as it is. Way too small place, not enough tables, everyone is crowded and certain days and they won't serve food to go.

I’ve been looking a ramen restaurant here in El Paso since I moved here and this place was hit me. Their food was so good and it’s so satisfying. ???

Do not come here unless you have at least 3 hours to spare. The wait time here is absolutely unacceptable. Even if you are seated immediately, your food will take 1 hour 20 minutes to arrive after ordering, no exaggeration. That goes for ramen, curry, anything. If you have to wait at all, be prepared to spend at least 2 hours before you are able to eat. I don't understand how anyone can have that much time, the owners of this restaurant must be doing this just as a hobby instead of a business. There's absolutely zero respect for your customers' time going on here. The food is good and about equal to what you'd get at any restaurant in Japan which is why it deserves at least one star above the minimum. But the slowness is simply unacceptable. Also the ramen broth is very clearly chicken broth if you care.

This has been the most authentic Japanese restaurant I have been to. When I went to Japan I would have onigiri for breakfast and they taste just like Japan! I wish they had more selection of them though. The Ramen is very rich and very delicious I will be coming back

The food is as amazing as other reviews claim, not very cheap but well worth it. However despite the good food and staff, the wait was just a bit too much. I waited an hour and 15 minutes for 1 bowl of ramen, the lack of working restrooms made this huge wait that more agonizing. I highly recommend this place but know you will be waiting for a long time for your food.
