| - First off I would like to say to all of the other Yelpers out there, please stop comparing this place to Monta, just because they both serve ramen doesn't make them the same, it's like comparing northern Italian food to southern Italian food, they're just different.
Ramen Sora serves Sapporo style ramen, which is a little thicker and chewier, but I like it, it feels a little more substantial. They have two main broths, a shio (salt) or a miso based one. The miso broth is a little thicker, but tastes really good, especially with the pork and veggies. The shio broth is much lighter, both in color and flavor, but as the waitress described it, it's perfect for summer. The pork was delicious, and they don't skimp on the serving size either which is nice.
I got the deluxe bowl which pretty much comes with everything, which was a plus and minus for my first time. I discovered that I do not care for nori in my ramen, as I didn't like how it's flavor paired with the pork. I also thought that the hard boiled egg I had in my soup was slightly overdone, but that could just be a preference of mine.
I also got the gyoza, and just so everyone knows, it takes 8 minutes to cook, so order when you sit down or you'll end up getting them after your meal. The gyoza were fine, crispy on one side, with a very nice dipping sauce. They give you a ready made dipping sauce, but you can also make your own if you like.
On the whole, a very pleasant and somewhat inexpensive lunch experience.
