| - Took my daughter here to see if there is another ramen place that is as good as Ramen Sora or Monta... This place did not disappoint.
I had the Jinya No. 1- Tonkatsu Black. The broth was hearty and flavorful. The noodles are thin, but I think I prefer it like this. The chashu is tender and the rest of the ingredients/toppings were complimentary to the ramen soup. It had nori, kikurage, seasoned egg (nitamago), garlic chips, fried crispy onion, green onion and a little dollop of red chili pepper sauce. It was very good.
My daughter had the Tokyo Yatai ramen. It came with a chicken and pork clear broth, chicken, chashu, bamboo shoots green leafy veggies, fried onion and nitamago. She opted to not have the shredded red peppers. She ate as much as she could. She rarely orders ramen and her saying that this was delicious was a big deal to me. She usually opts for a small bowl of just rice and chashu.
We ordered the gyoza and Takoyaki. Gyoza were on the small side (from what I am used to), but just delicious. Takoyaki on point. I haven't had really good Takoyaki in the states except from Shirokiya at the Ala Moana mall in Oahu and my time I was in Japan for vacation.
The Takoyaki was cooked well. It had good chunks of octopus and ginger in it. The sauce they put over it and Bonito flakes were not overpowering.
The service was good and attentive. I will be back.
