Ramen is not something that Champaign-Urbana has done well in the past, and Ozu Ramen isn't gonna change that.
What Ozu Ramen does right are the ramen toppings. The chashu/pork is more burnt than I wanted, but I couldn't tell in the taste. The perfectly soft-boiled eggs are oozing with golden gelled yolk. The woodear is an interesting addition, but it works. The bamboo shoots and naruto are fine, okay. You can't screw those up.
But what you can screw up, and what Ozu Ramen does screw up, is the broth. Good God, do they make terribly bland ramen broth. No matter how incredibly tasty they make the toppings and noodles, everything is just soaking and stewing in this flavorless puddle. At least eventually my ramen got salty enough from all the tears of disappointment that dripped down my face.
Thoroughly mediocre, but has room for improvement.
