| - I ordered the Nishikawa black bowl, the tonkotsu ramen order that comes with the most toppings, by far, out of all the ramen bowls they offer here. Here's my personal breakdown of the bowl:
- The pork broth had the thick, creamy texture that I look for in tonkotsu ramen, and the flavor wasn't too overwhelming either.
- The noodles were easy to pick up with chopsticks and slurp on. Plus, they had the springy, chewy texture to them.
- The pork chashu is also delicately flavored; however, it's roughly half fat, half lean meat. I usually look for 70-80% lean meat on my chashu, but this is personal preference. If you like more fatty chashu, this place is a pretty solid choice.
- The seasoned egg was OK. It was hard-boiled, unfortunately, so you won't get the full flavor from the egg itself. On a side note, you can add an extra egg, soft or hard-boiled. It'll just cost you $1 extra.
As far as the restaurant atmosphere goes, it is somewhat small. The max capacity is about 50 people. Seating wasn't a problem for my friends and me during lunchtime this Sunday, thankfully.
