| - Having gotten several recommendations to visit Morris Ramen, I finally bit the bullet this weekend and came here for dinner. And I was not disappointed, not even a little bit. I saw some comparisons to Umami in the reviews, but they're really a horse apiece, in my opinion--price-wise and food-wise. Both are very good.
We started off with a couple drinks and a pork bun. I ordered a Year of the Rabbit, which was very alcoholic and far too astringent for my tastes. Fortunately, my boyfriend is a bitters whore, so we switched and it worked out fine. He ordered a My Second Rodeo, which I drank, and it was really lovely. Just the perfect amount of sweet and tangy.
The pork bun was huge, and had a lot pf pork in it. It was less fatty pork--which is what I expected--and more solid pork. I could have used a few more pickles to balance out all that pork. But the flavor was beautiful, and the bun itself had a really nice fluffy texture. I would love to eat all of my food out of those buns. #twss
I ordered the pork donburi, which came with a good amount of fatty pork, rice, green onion, fried onions and an egg. It was delicious. Everything in the dish combined well to make every mouthful silky and rich. I could have used more green onions, though. And some sort of acidic pickled vegetable garnish to cut the fat a little.
My human got the Morris ramen, which I tried, and it was also delicious. The broth was thick and lovely, and the noodles were perfectly cooked.
I will definitely be back, and I highly recommend Morris Ramen.
