Had a craving for something noodly and warm. A block of maruchan couldn't satisfy my ramen craving. I needed the real thing.
I showed up at a great time, around 3pm after the lunch rush and before the dinner crowd. Initially I planned to do take out, but the bartender, host, and servers were so friendly that I took a window seat.
The menu had few chef-created options, but a ton of add-ons. I picked the inferno ramen. My ramen came quickly, piping hot and so spicy it cleared my sinuses :) The fried chicken skin was crispy and savory.
The flavor was multilayered and changed based on the combination of meat/veggies/noodles in the spoon. The beef was so tender and had a good amount of fat attached. I was halfway done with the broth before realizing I had barely touched the noodles. I briefly panicked about being too full to finish my bowl, but my server assured me that the ramen reheats just as deliciously. She recommended that I swirl the hot geyser egg after reheating to send eggy bits everywhere. It was just as good the first time!
I can't wait to visit Ki Ramen again. Next time I'll order double beef and extra fried chicken skin.
