WHAT WE ATE
- Tonkotsu Ramen, 15/100
In those moments when circumstances demanded it, we couldn’t resist the allure of indulging in our favorite comfort food – ramen. We’re sure many of you can relate to the comforting sensation of a steaming bowl of noodles when the need arises. Join us as we share our personal experience of finding solace in a delightful ramen adventure. 😉
TONKOTSU RAMEN 15/100 points
Noodle – 5/35
The noodles presented a departure from the traditional Tonkotsu ramen style. While we understand that this establishment caters to various ramen options, the chosen noodles lacked the desired chewiness and firmness, reminiscent of instant noodles rather than authentic handmade strands. It fell short of delivering the QQ texture that ramen enthusiasts crave, leaving us wanting more from this crucial element.
Soup – 5/35
As anticipated, the soup failed to capture the essence of a classic Tonkotsu broth. Its watery consistency and lack of richness left much to be desired. However, taste-wise, it managed to salvage some redeeming qualities, preventing it from being deemed completely inedible.
Meat – 0/20
The meat component proved to be a letdown, with a tough texture and an overpowering gaminess that lingered on the palate. It lacked the desired tenderness and succulence that elevates a bowl of Tonkotsu ramen to new heights. The choice of pork and its preparation fell short of expectations, leaving us yearning for a more enjoyable meaty addition.
Toppings – 5/10
The half-cooked gooey egg, although seemingly machine-made, managed to deliver a decent taste and added a hint of satisfaction to the overall dish. Accompanied by Negi, the toppings were limited, lacking the additional layers and variety that could have elevated the ramen experience.
In conclusion, this Tonkotsu ramen offering falls short of the mark, ranking neither as the best nor the worst in our culinary adventures. While it may fill a temporary void, it fails to impress in terms of authenticity and overall quality. However, it’s worth noting that the establishment shines in its variety of options and the freshness of its sushi staples. For those seeking a satisfying ramen experience, this particular venue might not be the top choice.
