The scale of this restaurant made it feel like a Cafe as we came at a time more suitable for Konbanwa than Konnichiwa. We sat next to the window space for 2 with a table circumference that's just enough to fit 2 Bento meals and not much more. That specific spot was very cozy I will wish to get that same spot the next time. MY spot!
Tofu on Shoyu Broth Ramen($8.95) has a broth with a hint of sweetness almost like how Mire Poix brings a sweetness to any protein stock. It is unexpected as most people's image of Shoyu provides an Umami addiction, so the first sip of this broth brings a new territory to your mind.
The Ramen Noodles were A-OK as an accompanying fellow yelper was quick to point out that it's reminiscent of packaged Instant Noodle with a rinse in-between boiling with water, then simmer in broth. It has that Wrinkled style which is great for slurping the broth all over your neighbour. :P
Pork on Miso Broth Ramen($8.95) uses the Dark Brown Miso that we fought over as Ramen is naturally identified with this Umami taste. The Pork slices were good when I know other places can feed you some inferior product and not even be embarrassed. Only if Konnichiwa had TONKOTSU, then I would be more pleased then Niwatei.
