| - Finally tried this place after several attempts to eat here. The lines on the other days I came here were out the door (even in rainy days). Hubby and I got here around 5:15pm and snagged the second last booth spot before the lineups started.
I ordered the Tonkatsu with thick noodles. Hubby ordered the spicy TanTan soup, also with thick noodles at the waitress's recommendation. At my cousin's suggestion, we also ordered extra noodles to help finish off the broth leftover after we finished the noodles that came with the soup serving. Each bowl came complete with soft boiled eggs, bamboo shoots, & thin slices of pork belly, the latter which was a bit thinner and fattier than the pork slices that I am used to at other ramen places.
We also ordered the spicy slow cooked chicken wings, which were reminiscent of Filipino chicken adobo (soy and garlic flavoured) with a spicy kick. I was expecting a crispier skin on the wings, rather than the rubbery skin that was on them. Still didn't stop me from eating my half of the order because I was starving!
After our soup and chicken wings, hubby and I were pretty full, and frankly felt a bit rushed to pay our bill because of the line growing out the door. However since we were not sure when we will be able to eat here again, we took the opportunity to get some of the matcha cheesecake to go. Boy was it good! In my opinion, it is not too sweet but has a good amount of matcha flavour and tastes better than Uncle Tetsu cheesecake. I would go back for the cheesecake alone! Alas they do not offer takeout so I may need to brave the line ups next time I want my next Sansotei ramen and matcha cheesecake fix
