Even the coveted Beaches area can't escape the ramen hype train. Yes, it has begun; the one and probably only ramen place for all you beach goers, east-downtowners, outcasts... a crowd soon to include me of course. :D This just be my go-to ramen joint as it's only minutes from my place (soon-to-be).
This is ramen with a Chinese twist to it. From the Cha-su that reminds me of a traditional Chinese bbq joint to the green onions in the soup that I am very fond of and alas an available Chicken broth stock broth that is all too familiar. It is instantly recognizable and welcoming. I know, I know you may question my credibility as a reviewer but remember food doesn't always have to be authentic to taste great.
The broth (chicken or pork) is rich and tasty although not quite as rich as some of the champions like Sansotei. The meats are very tender and pretty tasty. The only criticism is that the pork broth has too many lard bits in it. Also the portions are fairly small for the price. As most have mentioned, the wings are very delicious albeit they can be a little crispier and the texture of the meat is a little unnaturally silky (they probably sous-vide it before frying).
Wow, that was a lot to digest. Anyhow, it's a worthy visit if you are in the east end.
