| - Cleveland desperately needs a decent ramen shop. And this little noodle shop new in the Uptown scene does the job! They have a small menu of ramen, including some non-pork bases. I got the char siu tonkatsu ramen instead of the pork belly one, because I didn't want it heavy on the meat. The char siu roasted pork came in thin slices, which was actually refreshing. (I personally don't like too much of the meat in my ramen, so that's just me). I love how the broth itself was slightly sweeter, possibly from the corn they added. In addition, they had the typical mushrooms, soft boiled egg, seaweed, and scallions. They also have a pork belly one, which adds more of that fatty, richness to the ramen. They don't have a spicy option or black garlic oil, but they do have chili oil on the tables that you can add to your spicy level.
The food came out quickly in less than 10 minutes on a Sunday evening. Not too much seating though, so it would be hard to sit more than 6 - 7 people if you came in a group.
Excited to come back to try the other noodles on the menu. Glad there's a good noodle place in uptown, especially thinking about the winters ahead.
