| - Sansotei, what happened? This used to be my go-to place for ramen, but I think I'll have to start looking for a new haunt. I took my brother here for lunch today and was lucky enough to snag a seat right away (there is usually a line outside the door).
We got the zangi (deep fried chicken) to start. I hadn't had this dish before and it came to us piping hot with lemon to squeeze over it as seasoning. Honestly, if it weren't for the amazingness of this side, I would bump this review down to three stars. This is a great appetizer, and I highly recommend it!
My brother ordered the tonkotsu with extra egg, noodles and pork belly. I got the miso for myself. You have a choice of thick or thin noodles now, and can add extra of any toppings for an added charge.
The miso broth was flavorful as always and the egg and corn were delicious, but the pork belly was stomach-turning and I gave the rest of mine to my brother after one bite. Quality of that has definitely gone down. I didn't enjoy the noodles as much as I have in the past either.
I tried some of my brother's tonkotsu broth and was grossed out, but he seemed to enjoy it. Not sure if they've changed their recipe or my palate has just rearranged itself but it wasn't as good as I remembered. The service is great and the girls get people in and out quickly, so even if you are waiting in line, it usually doesn't take too long.
