I'm so into noodles. I love me a big carb-o-licious pile of noodles! So the concept of this joint really spoke to me.
I saw the three star rating with proceeded with caution, but I really wanted it to impress me. I enjoy that you can pretty much "build your own ramen" bowl. I wanted lots of veggies and shrimp. So with that I ordered the spicy veggie bowl with shrimp. Simple, right?
It comes in a ginormous bowl that you couldn't possibly finish in one sitting. No problem, I'm okay with leftovers. Everything looked perfect. Lots of veggies, lots of noodles and fresh shrimp. But... the flavor. It was not there.
You can choose between the soy or miso based broth. Maybe that's where I went wrong. I find that sometimes I'm not into miso broth, so I went with the soy base. Was that the mistake then for real? Not sure, but what I was sure of is that it was off. It just needed some oomph.
Sad, because like I said, I really wanted it to be something. I think with my leftovers I'm going ot pepper it up (literally, with pepper) and try and spice it up a bit. Will I be back? Maybe, but I'll order something different and give it another go round.
