After our party was waiting for what seemed an eternity at Bachi Burger, we decided to go to its sister place, Ramen Shoku. Simply put, I most likely, not probably, won't be back here again. The various appetizers including the GYOZA and TAKOYAKI was somewhat interesting, but nothing too exciting to do an order of again. Each of us had something different...TONKOTSU, SPICY MISO, and I had the most touted TAN TAN MEN ramen for 11.50. It was overly salty and the noodles were too al dente. I couldn't get past the overly salty taste of the soup and it seemed that every time I had the soup, I would be grappling for the water as a chaser. The menu stated spciy base, but they need to edit it and put salty base. I almost wanted to add the carafe of water into the soup and ask them to heat the soup along with the al dente noodles to cook some more. The overpowering taste of salt definitely made me want to walk out that door and not even consider ramen places in general. I think the SPICY RAMEN was more up my alley as it had more flavor from the miso base. The base of the TAN TAN MEN was just simply oxtail soup which would have been more preferable than what they had added to it. It definitely helped me to eat less, but then again helped me to cross this off my list or put it on my list of places to never go back again.
Next time, I'll wait for Bachi Burger even if it's an hour long wait...there's a reason why this place was barely empty and the Bachi was filled to the brim. You'll enjoy drinking water at this place.
