Was in town for the weekend and because it was a chilly day, I figured, nothing beats the cold like a big bowl of noodles! I looked up ramen places in town and this one came up with high ratings. I also heard about the chili goma ramen so I really wanted to try that. I loveeee sesame! But maybe I should have looked at the pictures first.
When the bowl of noodles came, I knew it was going to be a bit of a problem for me. The sesame flavour turned out wonderful but the oil from the chili made my tummy turn. My tummy and excessive oil aren't friends. The flavour was also fairly strong / salty especially with the ground pork in a dark marinade so after 1/3 of the bowl, I couldn't finish. I guess it's not for everyone. I liked the concept though and the first few bites were interesting. It was a pretty big bowl too for $14. Our group also had the vegetable tempura and we loved it. The batter was perfect and it tasted super fresh. Service was fast and friendly as well. We went in around 1:30, just after lunch hour and it was still fairly busy but no wait. Maybe next time I'll stick to the original.
