It took me a while to decide between 3 or 4 stars for this one. After much thought 3.5 would be the best option. I have been looking forward to visiting even before they open. Sujeo has garnered loads of reviews in the recent months of opening. The less than stellar reviews made me put off my visit for a bit, but a good friend convinced me to give it a shot, so here I am =)
When we went for lunch they weren't very busy, b/c we were they early and it was also just before Christmas. I had the shio ramen which I quite like.
I like:
- duck fat in the ramen broth, giving it a nice texture
- pork belly: nice and well-seasoned, though some pieces were overly done and were kind of tough
- wheat noodles, took a little getting used to at the beginning but was good
-soft poached eggs! The best part, runny yolk with soft whites ~~
- flavorful broth
Not so like:
-broth was a tad too salty for me, would have loved to finish the entire broth but it was esp difficult after I'd polished off the noodles
Their custard ice cream is the best part. I have friends who's said to go to Sujeo just for the custard ice cream. They change the flavors regularly, we had a choice of blackcurrant or cherry vanilla. Love the blackcurrant ice cream! $3 a cone is totally worth it, even in the Wisconsin winter!
