Ever since I got back to CLE from NYC I've been on a mission to find the best bowl of ramen in Cleveland. I've always loved ramen and I was able to explore really amazing ramen when I lived in NYC. I can tell you Ninja City doesn't have the best bowl of traditional Japanese ramen. Because it is fusion, duh. However it is about 10,000x better than gross Noodle Cat.
I ordered the bacon and egg ramen. I've never had soup that tasted like ham before. I would have liked the soup base to taste more like pork, but not everyone's bacon ramen can measure up to Momofuku's. The spiciness of the soup eventually masks some of that salty preserved flavor. There was no seaweed :( but I understand why. Instead of bamboo shoots there were some kind of pickled onions, again fusion replacement = slight disappointment. Generous cuts of pork belly which I am always a fan of. Noodles were delicious and had a nice flavor by themselves. The egg was cooked sunny side up and was nicely burned on the edges.. I would have preferred they ask me how I would like my egg Because I feel It should always be soft boiled, but it was tasty all the same. All together it made me think "This is ramen for drunk people."
I know what they were going for, BUT if they just dialed it back a bit and improved their broth so its no so ham tasting I'd be a regular.
Overall it wasnt what I wanted, but it wasnt inedible. I went to an Asian Fusion place wanting something closer to traditional. Good atmosphere, aesthetically pleasing, nice staff, cheap beer.
I would go back and try other things.
