Tried the miso tonkatsu ramen for lunch.
The good:
- Broth is quite tasty. They even allow you to request how salty you like it, which is nice considering there seems to be a lot of variety in saltiness in ramen broth in town.
- Service is friendly and attentive.
- Decor is modern and comfortable.
- Prices are on the high end for ramen, but still reasonable.
- Pork was very tender and tasty.
The meh:
- Music was some crazy 90s dance music remix, Japanese style. Kind of aggravating, but I'm a bit of a music snob.
- Noodles were quite thin. Not the kind of ramen noodles I'm used to. I prefer mine with more bite and more body. Not particularly satisfying.
- A little modest on the portion sizes.
- Soft boiled egg came straight out of the fridge, so it was still cold.
With the proliferation of ramen places, it's tricky to choose sometimes. For choices in the Plateau, I definitely prefer this over Ramen-ya, Misoya, and Saka-ba, but Kazu still takes the prize for me.
