I would like to give 4 stars for this restaurant. The best ramen I had so far in Charlotte. As an expert in Chinese and Japanese food and already tried 100+ different Chinese and Japanese restaurants in US, I have to say the ramen in this restaurant is authentic.
As I mentioned in my other reviews, there are 3 main factors of a ramen: Broth, Noodles, Side dishes. The key of a good ramen is all about the BROTH! I tried the Tonkotsu broth which is flavorful, rich and creamy. The best thing is the noodle fully absorbed the flavour from the broth.
The noodles are pretty good, they have a springy texture. One more thing I would like mention is for noodles, good or bad is mastered in Chef's hands. Noodles should not be too hard or too soft but just right!
The side dishes for ramen are superb. They added bamboo shoots, bean sprouts and onsen eggs etc. I do appreciate they go with a very traditional way on the side dishes. This is the authentic ramen I want.
One happy suprise from this restaurant is their small bites. Most of them are pretty decent and tasty.
Above all, I do recommend this restaurant for ramen lovers!
