| - Glad the area now has a good ramen joint! It's not something I was painfully aware that we were lacking, but now that it's there...I definitely appreciate it.
I came in around dinner time on Saturday, and it was busy, but there were still a few seats available. The place isn't big, but they've got a good layout to maximize tables. Food comes out really quick - which helps with the turnover rate, I think.
I kind of had my heart set on trying the fried squid (Ika Geso), so I got that. My server had a lot of good suggestions in terms of ramen, and highly recommended the Nishikawa Black. I do the opposite and order the Yokohama Style, which wasn't a bad idea but I probably should have gone with the recommendation. The fried squid was okay, a decent balance between the crunchy and the chewy. The sauce was like a miso mayo type of dip, and it was alright too. Overall, the fried squid was just good. I may order again, I may not. Who knows.
Anyways, on to the important part! The Yokohama was pretty good, and I wasn't mad about it. It didn't leave me as satisfied as I thought it would though, and I felt like it could have used more chashu (which was delicious, by the way). The broth was very mild in flavor. I will definitely be trying the Nishikawa Black next time!
