My 9 years old daughter aka picky eater and I decided to try a brand-new ramen restaurant. It was so new that it had only one review on Yelp. We arrived around 2:30 p.m. on a Sunday, and there were no other customers. At first, I was a little worried that I had chosen a bad restaurant. The menu was also quite limited, which made me even more uncertain.
I ordered the Curry Tofu Ramen, and my daughter chose the Tonkotsu Ramen. The server was also the chef, so I assumed he must have a lot of confidence in his food since he was running the restaurant almost entirely by himself.
The Tonkotsu Ramen arrived first. It came with two large pieces of chashu that had obviously been torched. The smoky aroma and lightly crispy edges made the pork incredibly flavorful without being greasy. The broth was rich and delicious. I asked the chef whether he made the broth in-house, and he proudly confirmed that he did--it wasn't made from a premade soup base.
My Curry Tofu Ramen was also very good, but the Tonkotsu Ramen was truly outstanding. My daughter couldn't stop eating it. She can be quite picky and usually has something to complain about, but this time she absolutely loved it. She even said she definitely wants to come back.
To finish the meal, the chef surprised us with two complimentary servings of mango sago for dessert. It was light, refreshing, and a perfect ending to the meal.
Overall, we had a very pleasant experience. Although the restaurant is new and has a simple menu, the quality of the food, the homemade broth, and the chef's attention to detail left a great impression on us. We'll definitely be returning, especially for the Tonkotsu Ramen. read more
