| chashu bowl |
tommy says: if you like a thick, rich ramen broth this is the place to get your fix. of the handful of visits, the menu has been tweaked about three times, but it never disappoints. the server stated that the burnt kogashi would be spicy, but it really was not anything requiring a warning, quite mild and more smokey than spicy. at one point a chashu bowl was listed on the menu, but wasn't on the most recent visit. ordered it anyway and it was mind-blowingly good (and different from their previous rendition). how can a simple chashu bowl be mind-blowing? the pork was unbelievably tender and the sauce was hauntingly good - it is so simple, but done amazingly well. worth a visit just for the chashu bowl alone.
