Kuku Canteen is formerly known as Wawa Canteen. A girl who was working there just recently bought it and changed to name.
The only thing I've even tried from here has been the Ramen. The Vegetable Ramen with
extra vegetables to be exact.
So the ramen is...amazing. I was recommended to try by a co-worker and it did not disappoint. I was glad to see that it was exactly the same after the whole identity change.
The broth has a pleasant spiciness to it and it is filled with vegetables. I think the regular 'vegetable' ramen is actually mushroom only, so I definitely recommend asking for extra veggies, you won't be disappointed with the selection. The mushrooms were fantastic in this specific one and almost the best thing about it. They had a really good texture and were super flavorful.
They give you a huge container, so it will definitely fill you right up. They also have other options available, such as chicken or beef. This is a great treat on a cold or rainy day!
Maybe I will actually try something different next time ;)

I like the packaging... makes it easy to eat on the go. And the noodles looks good.
I read this and actually went to stay with my stepsister at her dorm and we took her new room mate and went to the ku ku canteen and got the ramen, i got seafood, my sister and roomie got chicken and we got less spicy with a ginger limeade and it was so delicious, the ramen was only $8, the drinks were $3.50, everything was so good, the place is cute and tiny; and the man behind the register was very helpful and nice. we decided it was sooooo our new place and ive been telling everyone about it, next time im gunna get the seafood again with extra veggies!
