| - My rating is closer to a 3.5 than a 4.
Going in, I already knew not to have crazy expectations of this place solely for the Michelin star. This review is purely on my standalone opinion of the food.
I ordered the Signature Clam Broth Shio ramen and my sister ordered the Smoky Black Tonkotsu ramen. We also ordered a side of the Pork Chashu Don.
Signature Clam Broth Shio - not bad but not amazing either. I found this broth to be incredible mediocre. I didn't think there was much depth to the flavour of the broth, so that was quite disappointing. I definitely enjoyed the hint of truffle oil in it as it added such a nice smell which made having this ramen more enjoyable. The pork was not very flavourful and was very small.
Oh and I also added an egg to this, as it does not come with it. I know a lot of people complained about the texture of their egg, but I did not find this to be an issue. It was definitely not as runny as most other ramen places, but I actually preferred this because when I cut into the egg, I didn't lose the entire yolk in the soup broth. It was runny and firm enough to be able to break it into smaller pieces and enjoy it in more bites!
Smoky Black Tonkotsu - I have to say, I ended up taking multiple scoops of broth out of my sisters bowl. Compared to my choice, this one definitely had a lot more flavour. It was extremely garlicky and creamy, which I loved. Unfortunately, the meat it came with was not the pork slices, but more so pieces of ground meat. I was thrilled when my sister said she was too full to finish her ramen, as I instantly swapped mine for hers. I have to say though, that although I did enjoy the flavour of this ramen more than mine, I wasn't able to have too much of it in one go. At one point, it started tasting a bit too creamy and garlicky. So I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this one.
Pork Chashu Don- this came near the end of our meal so we were already too full to fully enjoy this. But I don't think this changes my review. I was really disappointed by this because it tasted so dry. The individual ingredients were just "okay" and there was hardly any sauce to be found to wrap all the flavours together. Really really sad about this.
Overall, this place was just alright even though slightly overpriced. I would definitely consider coming back and trying their other dishes, but only when there is no longer a lineup.
