Among
all
the
ramen
shops
I
have
visited
in
NYC,
northern
&
central
NJ,
PekoPeko
probably
is
in
the
middle
of
the
pack.
I
tried
the
Tan
Tan
Ramen
and
it
was
okay
–
noodle
was
decent;
however,
the
chicken
broth
was
not
as
heavy
as
I
expected
(supposed
to
be
thick
and
opaque
with
rich
flavor)
and
overall
taste
was
a
bit
on
the
salty
side.
Toppings
were
fine
but
portion
wasn't
as
generous
as
it
should
be.
One
interesting
twist
is
that
PekoPeko
seems
to
be
using
minced
beef
instead
of
minced
pork
which
is
a
more
traditional
ingredient
of
topping
for
Tan
Tan.
It's
fun
to
try
something
different.
Overall
the
service
is
great
and
ramen
is
fair.
That
said,
the
price
is
bit
high
comparing
to
some
of
the
outstanding
Japanese
shops
at
either
east
side
mid-town
NYC
area
in
which
majority
of
the
items
on
the
menu
are
in
the
$11
+/-
$1
range
and
additional
toppings
are
around
$1~
$2.5,
or
in
central
NJ
(e.g.
Princeton
area)
where
sub
$10
is
a
norm.
