I was waiting for a ramen shop to open up my entire time in undergrad at U of I, so when I came back to visit and heard that one finally opened up (my friends tell me the one across the street doesn't count), I had to check it out.
Came here for lunch with 3 friends on Saturday. Even though it was mom's weekend, the restaurant was only about half full. I ordered the tonkotsu ramen. My expectations were definitely low, but I was pleasantly surprised. The broth was flavorful and the ingredients seemed fresh.
It wasn't perfect, although admittedly this is just nitpicking. The noodles were slightly overcooked so they didn't have the springy texture that ramen noodles should, and there were some noodles that were clumped together from overcooking. The meat wasn't as tender as it should be, although it was not tough by any means. The most disappointing thing was that the egg was a simple hard boiled egg rather than the soy sauce eggs you typically find in ramen.
