| - Mmmmmm Noodle Bar. Just thinking about it makes me hungry. I live down the street from this Ramen joint and happened to walked by it one day and couldn't help myself, I walked in and asked if there was room for one. They sat me at the "bar" area which is tucked away in a corner- super cozy. Their menu is short and sweet which is kind of refreshing- but they have some strange options on there that I personally have never seen at a Ramen restaurant: pasta? I should try it before I judge, I'll have to swing back around sometime soon! Other menu options include small plates, salads, ramen and specialty noodles. My waitress was really attentive, despite handling lots of customers! Quick service, too.
I ordered the Hakata which is one of their pork ramen options (other is a fish and pork combo and third option is a spicy miso which includes pork chashu as well). The Hakata is a mix of the tonkotsu broth (a rich, creamy pork broth), pork chashu (braised pork belly), onions, scallions, bamboo, and pickled ginger. Delicious to say the least. Obviously this is one of the heavier options IMO because of the rich consistency of the tonkotsu broth- but I loved every bit of it. I think that the one and only thing it could have used is more pork on top! There are seven other options besides the Hakata for Ramen- including chicken and veggie options.
-Great for date night
