Touhenboku is a great new addition to the neighborhood. Since my first initial visit, I've caught myself visiting for take out, perhaps a bit too often!
The menu is easy to navigate, and the quality of the broth, noodles and meat were all fantastic. My first ramen order included their "creamy" & spicy option - however, it was a bit too rich for my taste.
I've since tailored my choice to the "light broth" with sea salt (thin noodle) offering and it is exactly what I would expect for go-to hot ramen on a cold day. Portions are generous and always piping hot.
The service has always been very perky and cheery (on arrival and departure). The location is bright, clean and cozy. I arrived to eat in at 5:30pm and the place was quiet. By 6:15pm, there was a line up out the door.
In addition to the ramen, I've tried the following:
- Gyoza - good, hot... not sure I'd order again (not a stand out item)
- Karaage - good, sauce drizzle was tasty, added something heavier to round out the meal
- Korokke - really yummy! Creamy potato croquette type appetizers that were crunchy, unique and must try
- Mille Crepes - light dessert, sweet and very creamy
Overall, I plan on visiting this location again and again - not only for take out, but for sit in meals as well.
