Wow. Great ramen in Elizabethtown. I'm pretty sure it's the only place to get ramen in Elizabethtown, they have udon at the other Japanese restaurants in town. It's a food stall at Social on Main so their menu is small, featuring ramen, fried sushi rolls and hibachi bowls. There are tables in the open air food court which during the day is light and airy with the large garage door windows.
The service is friendly and quick, I've been there 3 times since it has opened. Greeted warmly and my order was ready for pick after just a few minutes.
I've gotten some appetizer's, the shishito peppers are good and the egg roll is probably the second best egg roll I've had (Sim's sushi has the world's best egg roll). The lotus buns, gyoza dumplings, and spicy edamame are pretty good.
The star is the ramen at Wasabi bistro. I've seen a couple bad reviews on Google and either these people are talking about the hibachi or they don't know what ramen is suppose to taste like. I've had the miso, tonkotsu, spicy (spicy tonkotsu) and the tantan ramen (sesame based with chili oil). All the broths were rich, nutty, creamy, delicious and umami packed, with different base flavors, miso (soybean paste) tonkotsu (pork bones) and tantan. Doubt the noodles are fresh and homemade, but it tasted that way. The pork belly was delicious and the soft boiled egg, vegetables, scallions, fish cake and corn adds different textures and compliments the dish.
