| - There is Ramen Downtown!
This is a casual/trendy little place on the Ogden Avenue side of "The Ogden." Nice decor with a couple large paintings, hanging light bulbs, and some really cool copper bar chairs!
Pot Stickers - I started off with the pork pot stickers which were very good! Soft on one side and a little crispy on the other, just the way I like 'em. 10/10 would order again!
Ramen - I had a thin noodle ramen with tonkotsu broth. All ramen comes with green onion, braised pork, sprouts, and a soy egg. I then added corn, an extra egg (it's a half egg so I ended up with a whole egg!), and spicy meat. The noodles were nice and firm and the soy egg had lots of flavor, really good! On the down-side: the raman wasn't as hot as I would like, on both the temperature and spice scale (I guess I could have just asked for it to be a little more spicy.) Next time I'll try the miso but overall it was good, I'd give it a 7/10.
5 Hand Rolls - I didn't order hand rolls but I was there while things slow and they were cooking and photographing food. They made the rolls, took a few photos, and then asked me if I wanted them? SURE! Yellowtail, Tuna, Cucumber, Crab, and Salmon. I was so full from the soup and stickers that I only ate two and a half of the rolls, tuna, salmon and a bite of crab ... pretty good!
Of the three or four members of the staff I interacted with, all were very friendly and helpful, making it a good dining experience! Not the best ramen I've ever had but good enough that I'll be going back!
