I'm absolutely in love with how unique Konjiki Ramen is. Just upon arriving, I am greeted with such a smiling crowd of wait staff who explain the menu SO passionately and their love for the restaurant is just SO contagious and now I am rambling but my dining experience was just really really positive.
I orderd the Clam Ramen Shio (Light). It came with clam broth, garnishes, chashu, and bamboo shoots.
The clam broth really blew me away. Think a lighter version of Clam chowder. They say they cook the clam for at least 6 hours for the broth flavour and I really do trust it. The garnish and truffle oil that is added really elevate the flavours too.
The noodles are pretty thin, so the broth adheres to the noodle really well. They are not too firm but not too soft either.
They give you two slices of Chashu that are cooked PERFECTLY. Super tender - I had a dentist appointment beforehand and had no problem at all biting through the meat.
A few minor complaints... remember the meat ramens don't come with Egg! Because I forgot, they just gave me the egg on the side (since I already started eatng), which was slightly cold and overcooked (the egg wasn't runny and was slightly well done around the edges) (probably because it's been in the fridge for a bit). The flavour of the egg was still good, but I can imagine it being a lot better if it came prepared with the ramen instead of on the side.
Overall, would definitely come back for the clam ramen :D
