Interesting ramen concept where they housed many ramen shops straight from Japan under one roof. You get to try different types of ramen (Most are from Tokyo, but we also spotted one from Hokkaido and Kyushu).We tried two types. One from Bario, the other is the black shoyu ramen from Menya.Bario: only try this if you like thick noodles. The noodles is not the typical ramen noodles, it is thick wavy egg noodles, served with a very very generous portion of bean sprouts. it is apparantly most popul
We tried two types. One from Bario, the other is the black shoyu ramen from Menya.Bario: only try this if you like thick noodles. The noodles is not the typical ramen noodles, it is thick wavy egg noodles, served with a very very generous portion of bean sprouts. it is apparantly most popular among guys in Japan. (Incidentally, I have just returned from Tokyo and the ramen bars there are indeed usually only filled with men). The broth is also very thick and flavorful, albeit a little on the salty side.
Black Shoyu ramen: thinner noodles, in a black shoyu broth. Love the onsen egg which usually hits the spot for me. The char siew is also well done. But I still prefer the thicker pork bone broth. Again, a tad too salty for our palate.
Tetsu: We ordered gyoza from Tetsu (which is famous for their tsukumen aka dry ramen). Please do not order theor gyoza. Only if you like thick thick skin. Their menu claims their gyoza is juicy. Yes, they do have some broth in the gyoza (a little cross over from xiao-long-bao), but the skin is so so thick that it is definitely one of the worst gyoza I've tasted.Post
