New ramen spot opened in Little Italy! This one is definitely worth trying in my books :) Decided to come here because recently I saw an IG mukbang guru promoting this spot and she tried to tackle the Mega Ramen Challenge here at Tondou lol.
I think they have another round of Mega Ramen Challenge happening tomorrow June 14, 2018 from 5-10pm if you're interested! If you can finish it within 20 minutes, it's free! Otherwise you pay $35 for it.
What I liked about this ramen spot:
1. Fantastic service - always checking on how we were doing. They also offered us free a jar of house-marinated spicy bean sprouts to go with our ramen! Thank you :)
2. Mini versions of ramen available - finally I don't have to order a full size bowl of ramen! I ordered the mini size Garlic Oil ramen bowl ($10) and it was the perfect size for me!
2. Silky broth - the one I got was pork bone based. It was delicious and not too overpowering. The broth surprisingly did not start to curdle when I left it sitting after I was done - it is a good sign lol. The broth is not as fat I'm guessing?
3. Uses different types of ramen noodles: thin ramen noodles, egg white noodles, veggie noodles, and I quite enjoy the whole egg wavy noodles!
4. That pork cha siu tho - delicious, and pork to fat ratio was great! It did not feel too fatty nor too heavy (although on the thinner side).
I would come back again for ramen when I'm in the area :)
P.S. Warning: Their version of takowasa IS HELLA SPICY #iwarnedyou
