I was walking home from work in the cold, and just when I thought to myself "Man a bowl of hot noodles would be so good right now"... BAM! Touhenboku appeared!
There was a small line when I went in but I didn't have to wait too long (table for one, duhhh). Service was quite good and fast in general, the food, on the other hand, was just so so.
I got the garlic meatlover with thick noodles. The broth was super garlicky, which I didn't mind. The noodle had a nice chewy texture, but not as good as sansotei's noodle. The soft and melt-in-your-mouth pork chashu was probably the highlight of my meal. My biggest complaint is that the soup is wayyyyy too salty! I had to down a whole bottle of water afterwards. Also the portion was quite small. I mean it was enough for me, but I'm notorious for eating like a sparrow so that's not saying much.
It has a super convenient location (for me anyway) so I'm pretty sure I'll visit again in one of the many cold winter nights to come!
