| - The 3+ star reviews had me a little worried, but we went there for dinner anyway. Besides, this Japanese guy knows ramen and I wanted noodles more than Tommy Want Wingy.
Chef Chan, you done good. Went during Summerlicious (set menu) which my wife ordered from while I ordered a la carte:
Pork buns = Damn good. Messy...but damn good.
Beef brisket bun = Damn good.
Ginger Scallion noodle - This bowl is served vegetarian with no broth but had excellent flavour (Shitake, cucumber, cabbage, green onion).
White Kimchi - Yup. Do this.
I asked the server what the most popular dish was.
Answer...
Pork Ramen. I've had pork ramen in several countries and across different cities copying this trendy restaurant menu item. This however, is not a trend or an imitation of a dressed up instant ramen noodle pack. This was authentically delicious. Those noodles...perfect. That soft boiled egg...man, that was right. That first bite of the Pork Belly...F!&#.
For those of you who want that super salty, .99 cent cheap stuff go buy it at the grocery store on your way back to the college dorm. If you want complex flavours, big chunks of pork belly, and properly done noodles in a perfectly balanced broth....eat this and eat here.
The Cereal Milk Soft Serve is exactly what the name is. Chef Chan probably finished a bowl a Cap'n Crunch and drank the milk and said "Damn. I gotta turn this into soft serve". He was right. It was really good.
If you watched the Netflix show Mind of a Chef (of course you did) you probably went upstairs to the Milk Bar and bought one of those Corn Cookies.
First bite...not so sweet, not too bad. Second bite...oh yeah, I can taste the subtle corn flavour. Third bite, crack cookie.
Suggestion...PLEASE find a way to bake these cookies fresh in house and add the Cereal Milk Soft Serve to make a Corn Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich. Or just bake these suckers fresh. I'll drive a long way for them.
Thanks for the great service.
5 Stars.
