This is not a subsitute for downtown ramen.
Craving spicy soup that night so I ordered the Karashi Ramen - miso based broth with karashi paste. I prefer this over the Neshi/King which is soy-based.
- Broth: not too spicy, interesting flavor reminds me of kimchi
- Noodles: the yellow type, texture was ok but it was salty - so salty that in every bite it just overpowered the soup and other ingredients. (maybe just personal preference but I don't like this type of noodle)
- Vegetables: A lot of bean sprouts and cabbage - kind of like I was eating chow mein. also wood ear and some kelp.
- Egg: Yolk was not runny! it is just soft boiled like how I make it myself at home. The egg white part was soft and ok though.
- Pork was soft but a bit too thick cut.
BF ordered King Ramen
- soy based spicy broth
- same toppings but with minced pork as well
- both are large portions
Gyoza - served cold/room temperature. not good.
Tonkatsu - deep fried pork was okay.. crispy skin and well cooked but just something off about it (coating a bit too thick?)
Overall... Did not like this ramen.
