The rich shio is nuts — in the best way.
-
The noodles are the right texture and the broth is at just the right concentration, neither too thick nor too light.
-
The classic rich shio reminds me of a childhood favorite.
-
The Vegetarian Potage ramen was exquisite.
-
I'd never liked ramen until I had this one with some Japanese friends.
-
The tan tan comes out scorching, with a sesame broth I love. I twirled the noodles onto the spoon to cool them.
-
Got the Taiwanese extra spicy and still added more chili flakes from the table.
-
Really smooth Nostalgic shio. I'd come back just for it.
-
It was boiling hot out and the cold tomato noodles saved me. Refreshing and full of flavor.
-
Tried the cold gizzard and liked it, but the taiyaki stole the show.
