| - Dropping the tapas in favor of a ramen concept, Woosuk and his great service are adjusting their offerings to appeal to the odd mix of patrons in the area. Came in to a warm welcome when cold winter weather brought me in for a bowl. Menu offers a trio of specialty bowls and the option to DIY, along with some apps, bento boxes, desserts and beer/wine.
CHASHU RAMEN: a wonderful tonkotsu broth with meltingly soft chashu slices and thin noodles! Really enjoyed the broth, had some peppery spices mixed in for a more forward flavor.
CURRY RAMEN: a dish that is new to me, the curry broth was similar to a gravy version of the Japanese curry I've had elsewhere. Comforting flavor without too much spice, this comes with thick, chewy noodles, bean sprouts, and spinach. I added nori and egg, but they were unnecessary additions that would have paired better with the previous bowl.
Enjoying the first bowl far more than the latter, the convenient location and great service will see me coming back to make my own bowl with the best aspects of what we tried: tonkotsu broth, thick noodle, perfect egg, and strips of nori. Our chicken karagge app was solid and helped to balance out the meatless curry dish.
If you're the adventurous sort, note that they also offer the only Pako-men in town: ramen with a crispy pork cutlet!
