| - This ramen chain with other locations in Tokyo and New York dishes up some tasty noodles and broth. The menu is a bit complex with three types of broth and several topping options as well as a few specials. The broths are excellent and packed with subtle and complex flavors. The pork belly was more solid than most I've had in ramen, and almost more of a bacon, which was a nice change. It made it a bit harder to break up, but added a lot more flavor. The noodles were ample, and unlike other ramen joints that push you to get a second helping of them, there are more than enough to make it through the meal. The broth was nice and spicy, perfect on a sub arctic winter day, but not overly so. The special curry ramen was also very interesting with a delicious curry broth and chicken pieces, but a bit heavy to finish. They also like putting pieces of potato into the ramen which is different, but works pretty well. The dim sum were a great starter and packed with flavor. Sadly they don't have beer as an Asahi or Ichiban would go great with the ramen. Service was good, though not overly attentive, but super fast. The basement location doesn't have a lot in the way of ambiance, but works for the food.
