For those who cherish Ramen as in the opening scene of Tampopo, this is the place for you!! And for the rest who only know ramen as hot water poured over a cup of dried noodles/seasoning packet, as I was not long ago, this will be an eye opener and a must try!
The atmosphere is simple - a counter in front of a small kitchen to place your order and 7 or 8 tables that seat 16 - 20, so come before noon if you hope to get a seat during the week. Service is extremely friendly and the food arrives quickly and hot.
Ton-kotsu Ramen ($7.25) has a delicious, rich broth and is served with what we were told is a traditional wheat/thin noodle. These noodles are not what you generally associate with ramen but are light and tasty. This is one of the few dishes that is not served with the more traditional wavy ramen noodle, which I prefer only slightly more.
The Shou-you Ramen is also a great bowl of soup but doesn't have the same depth and richness of the Ton-kotsu. My favorite is the best of both worlds, Shou-yu Ton-kotsu Ramen. We have tried several of the other soups and the bottom line is you will not get a bad bowl of soup here.
Pictured above next to the soup is the Samurai extra toppings (3.00) - the soup alone is plenty of food and the side of pork, egg, bamboo shoots, green onions and mushrooms is great to share.
