I went down to lunch today at Madistan(another new favorite of mine) and saw Ramen Kid had opened. We did the only logical thing and came back downtown for dinner.
My first thought was that we screwed up. Employees were eating in the dining room and one of their kids running around, but I think this can be accounted for by the recent opening(maybe even today). You order at the front and the counter worker was very kind, but the whole ordering process went a little rough. The men's bathroom had a wall soap despenser sitting on the side of the sink, but my wife said the women's was very nice and had a bidet.
The food was great. My wife had the tonkotsu ramen and I had the pork katsu; then we split the edamame. The food all came out at once. The pork cutlet came with a dark sauce, amazing. I've only had pork katsu once before at Saboten in Hong Kong and I thought I'd never find anything as good at home. However, this was just as good or better. The only complaint was the portion was a little small and the rice that came with it was just okay.
The ramen came with a perfectly soft boiled egg. The problem was that we ordered an extra egg and it only came with a half egg total. The broth was thick and salty, so really good. The pork inside was very tender and had great flavor.
5 for the food 3 for ambiance, worth fighting badger hockey parking for
