| - After an afternoon of checking out some of the museums on Wade Oval, I was looking forward to an early dinner at this place. It was just after 5PM, so I was hopeful that we'd be avoiding the dinner crowd, but I didn't expect the place the be nearly empty, except for a couple of after-work bar patrons. Nevertheless, was looking forward to sampling the menu. Got the steamed buns and opted to try with chicken, pork, and beef. You get 3 in an order, so I mixed up my proteins. Awesome! Packed with flavor and just plain good! I could've eaten 3 orders of these.
Then I was curious about the bacon and egg ramen. I LOVE pork belly, so I had to try it. The pork belly was awesome, too! I'm not well-versed enough in ramen to criticize the broth. I've read some reviews that their broth is not typical of ramen, but I enjoyed it - no complaints. The only thing that caught me off guard was the noodles. I asked our sever what noodles they used, and he said that they were just typical ramen noodles. The reason I even asked was because the taste, texture and shape was that of angel hair spaghetti. It took away from my ramen experience a bit, but not enough to say it was a negative one. They really did a good job with that pork belly, though! I'll be back to try others on their menu.
UPDATE: tried their Bahn Mi sandwich with pork on a more recent visit on 8/22/15... best Bahn Mi I've ever had!!! The pork was sooo tasty and perfectly cooked and tender - it melted in my mouth. Sandwich was perfectly spiced and balanced with the accompanying ingredients. Someone I went with on this visit said their Pho was surprisingly really good. I'll write another update as soon as I try their pho!
