I was really hoping for better.
This is Japanese Ramen boiled down for the mid-west I suppose. I don't mind the experiment with not-so traditional japanese ingredients, but the overall delivery is mediocre at best.
Tried the Takahachi Ramen and what came out was a thin broth with undercooked ramen floating it in, and some minced pork on top. Thats...it. Oh...and an egg floating haplessly.
The broth was, as I said, thin, and tasteless. Ramen should have a thicker, juicier broth, slightly oily almost, with flavor. Noodle cat's was like good broth watered down with hot water, and then served lukewarm. The noodles were chewy but not in a good way, and the egg...overcooked.
Won't be back. Even for the happy hour.
