| - Loved this place- wish it was closer to my home. Though I had tried Mason's Creamery at the Asian Festival a couple years ago, it wasn't until I heard about their ramen night that I was inspired do drive all the way into Cleveland to get some legit ramen. I didn't make it to the first ramen night, but I'm proud to say that I was first in line for the second one. They didn't let me down. The ramen was really good- even after I had taken it, driven 25 minutes home and waited for my family to sit down and eat. Broth was DELICIOUS. Just like it is supposed to be. I didn't want to share with The Wife and The In-laws. Next time, I'll order more. Great job with the pork belly- done perfectly. Noodles had congealed a little bit by the time I got home, so they weren't ideal, but it was definitely better than any other ramen I've had in CLE. They should make it a permanent part of their menu. And move into a bigger facility- crowds would definitely come.
Since I was already in the area, I figured that I'd try a pint or two of their ice cream. I got vietnamese coffee (AMAZING- even my wife who isn't easy to please raved about it). Creamy, authentic, drizzled with condensed milk. I'll order more next time I go out there. Lychee sorbet was less successful. The texture was off- even if the flavor was legit lychee. I wonder if it could have been pureed more to get a better mouth feel for it.
Anyways, an awesome experience. If I lived near to them, I'd be there all the time, especially if they served that awesome ramen.
