Ryukyu Shinmen Tondou Ramen is a new ramen joint opened in Little Italy serving Okinawan Style ramen.
We walked by on a Saturday around 8 pm and it was not too busy with no wait and empty tables. We ordered a Mini size each to try.
Spicy Tonkotsu ($9) and Spicy Miso ($10): Perfect size as a snack or even lunch as the broth is rich and heavy. The noodle cooked to a nice texture.
I usually try to drink the broth when eating a good bowl of ramen as the star is usually the broth which takes hours to simmer. Sadly the broth here is just too salty and heavy for my preference.
Service though friendly but the kitchen just too slow. We waited 20 minute+ for our ramen and it took 3 reminders to the servers about the beer we ordered. I really can't imagine how it would be if the place is pack.
Ryukyu Shinmen Tondou does have this lay back Okinawina vibe and have potential as a friendly neighbourhood ramen joint. Since it is quite new, I would not write it off.
