5/5 What’s Michael T. 2 years ago on Google
The
proof
of
any
ramen-ya
is
always
the
quality
of
the
soup
broth
and
it’s
ingredients.
Noodles,
although
important,
are
secondary.
Ramen
Nagomi
New
Brunswick
exceeds
the
mark
on
broth.
As
a
seasoned
traveler
to
Japan,
I
will
admit
that
my
expectations
for
ramen
are
quite
high.
Most
ramen
in
the
area
including
NYC
never
get
to
impressive
in
the
broth
department.
Nagomi
is
a
true
exception.
I
ordered
the
miso
crab
ramen
bowl
and
it
was
exceptional.
The
soup
is
rich
with
a
pronounced
miso
flavor
and
the
crab
base
is
evident.
The
bowl
is
not
overcrowded
with
fillers
like
bean
sprouts,
so
the
concentration
is
on
the
crab
flavor
and
the
thin
straight
ramen
noodles.
Included
toppings
are
lump
crab,
kikurage
mushroom,
scallion,
nori
seaweed
and
ajitama,
marinated
lava
egg.
Green
tea
is
extra,
but
I
recommend
it.
They
call
it
light
green
tea
but
it
is
really
genmai
cha,
a
green
tea
brewed
with
toasted
rice…
delicious.
Although
not
traditional
for
a
ramen
shop,
a
multitude
of
other
foods
are
on
the
menu.
Agemono,
(fried
foods)
and
donbori
rice
bowls
with
toppings.
Izakaya
favorites
like
Karaage
(fried
chicken),
Takoyaki
(octopus
fritters)
and
edamame
(boiled
salted
soybeans)
are
available.
One
slight
quibble
was
that
my
soup
arrived
with
an
ice
cold
egg
right
from
the
refrigerator
in
the
bowl.
The
kitchen
needs
to
warm
the
eggs
a
bit,
otherwise
it
is
like
adding
ice
to
hot
soup.
I
look
forward
to
returning
multiple
times
for
further
tastings
of
this
interesting
and
delicious
menu.
