We popped in to have a quick warm bowl of Japanese deliciousness on a cool rainy day. And as expected, it hit the spot!
I had the Shoyu, which is a soy based broth, with thick noodles. The bamboo shoots that I am usually not a fan of, were perfectly cooked and I actually liked the subtle flavour and crisp and soft texture. The pork slices, which are fatty, are smoky and melt in your mouth. But yes, for someone that does not usually eat anything fatty, means I have to close my eyes and chew quickly. But it is well worth it.
My wife had the spicy tan tan and really enjoyed hers as well. I tried a little and it had a spicy garlic infused flavour that warmed me up even with the little bit that I had.
From a Japanese friend, this place is about as authentic as a Japanese noodle place can be.
It is small and sometimes gets packed. But it is worth the short wait as their turnover rate is pretty quick.
We will definitely be back!
