Coming
in
on
a
chilly
weekend,
we
stumbled
on
this
ramen
restaurant
near
the
hotel
with
low
expectations.
I
tried
the
Oisa
Tonkotsu
and
the
vegetarian
ramen
with
shiitake.
Both
I
had
asked
for
the
noodles
to
be
slightly
underdone
as
preference
Moe,
the
chef
and
owner,
was
quick
to
explain
that
the
noodles
in
the
vegetarian
ramen
were
cooked
to
a
specific
temperature
otherwise
can
become
quickly
overcooked.
It
was
doable,
but
not
recommended.
I
went
with
her
suggestion
and
wasn't
disappointed.
I
also
learnt
that
the
noodles
are
made
with
tomatoes,
which
would
explain
this
familiar
taste
that
wasn't
quite
just
shiitake
I
tasted
throughout
the
broth.
The
Oisa
Tonkotsu
was
my
favourite
however
comparatively.
Served
hot,
the
broth
was
flavourful
throughout
without
being
too
rich,
the
noodles
springy
and
I
loved
the
tang
of
the
pickled
vegetables
and
ginger.
The
meat
was
sliced
thin,
which
I
would've
preferred
more
of
but
the
extra
soup
and
noodles
I
added
made
up
for
it.
For
those
with
bigger
appetites,
go
this
route.
Service
is
quick
and
efficient,
but
don't
come
here
if
you're
in
a
hurry;
the
place
fills
up
fast
and
there's
usually
a
small
line.
Solid
bowl
of
ramen
wrapped
in
a
friendly
and
cozy
atmosphere.
I
recommend
sitting
at
the
bar
and
chatting
with
Moe,
an
absolute
joy
to
chat
with.
You
can
tell
she
is
very
passionate
about
the
food.
I'm
coming
back
the
next
time
I'm
in
Boston!
