Description

Currently, there are over 40,000 specialty ramen shops in Japan, which is similar in size to California. Many Japanese people call ramen “the nation’s most popular food,” and it can be said that not a single citizen of Japan has never eaten ramen in their lifetime.Ramen began as a noodle Moredish originally from China in the middle of the 1600s, and has since then been modified to become one of the most popular Japanese dishes today. First popularized in the 18th century, ramen is typically a meat-based broth served with kansui-based noodles and a wide range of toppings.The combination of soup and toppings depends largely on the origin, as each region of Japan has its own special version of this delicious dish.

The soup is bland and doesn't have any flavor. I went for … Read full review

The shredded pork has an awesome crust on it and is moist, tender and oh yeah, amazing. Counter that with the freshness of the green onion (don't worry -- they give you TONS) and … Read full review
  • Rating: 3.0 out of 5"by Nikki H. at Yelp User Review12/16/2012My husband and I stopped here because of the great reviews. It ended up just another underwhelming meal in a weekend of OK food. The place is cute (cramped) and the food was good. Just not as great as everyone said. Maybe it's hard to do amazing things to broth? Still, it was very nice on a cold, rainy, dreary (read: amazing) day. Read full review
  • Rating: 2.0 out of 5"by Liam M. at Yelp User Review12/4/2012I ordered the "Tonkatsu From Hell". It was quite good and not too Spicy, at least not as spicy as the name would suggest (more like Tonkatsu from Arizona). However, what really soured me on the place was the cook who brought out the order (dark hair, dark glasses, dressed in black, beard, the shorter of … Read full review
