4/5 Ruka I. 1 year ago on Google
Overall:
A
nice,
small,
comfy
bowl
that's
a
little
more
expensive
than
what
I'm
used
to
seeing.
Details:
I've
heard
about
this
place
from
a
coworker
who
gave
it
a
pretty
good
recommendation.
Having
had
ramen
in
both
Austin,
TX
and
Japan,
I
had
to
temper
my
expectations
a
bit
before
checking
it
out.
I
got
an
order
of
gyoza
and
their
house
special.
Granted
if
I
wanted
to
do
a
base
comparison,
a
basic
tonkotsu
would
have
been
better
but
I
was
curious
and
it
was
expensive
for
a
basic
bowl.
The
gyoza
came
out
looking
and
smelling
pretty
good.
They're
no
Japanese
style
gyoza
which
are
usually
flatter
and
crispier.
These
are
more
Chinese
style
with
a
much
nicer
crisp
around
the
edges
and
fairly
plump
than
the
usual.
It
came
with
some
mayo
and
Lao
Gan
Ma
which
went
well
with
it.
The
green
onions
were
a
nice
touch.
The
ramen
later
came
and
immediately
noticed
a
few
things.
The
pork
seem
to
be
the
kind
you
would
see
in
a
stir
fry,
the
egg
seemed
lightly
fried
after
being
boiled,
a
small
assortment
of
vegetables
were
on
the
side,
and
the
broth
seemed
to
be
in
low
tide.
It's
like
a
mixture
of
pho,
Chinese
stir
fry,
and
ramen.
Not
a
typical
bowl
but
wouldn't
be
unusual
in
the
more
experimental
parts
of
Tokyo
that
use
chocolate,
milk,
or
bugs
in
their
ramen.
And
even
straight
up
mapo
tofu
with
a
very
thick
sauce.
The
pork
was
very
well
done
and
juicy.
The
noodles
were
a
familiar
kind
which
I
suspect
is
the
same
kind
most
ramen
shops
use.
The
things
that
threw
me
off
were
the
egg,
veggies,
and
broth.
The
egg
is
hardboiled,
a
little
over
cooked
even.
This
was
a
bit
disappointing.
Usually
ramen
eggs
are
soft
boiled
at
least.
I'm
not
sure
if
this
is
caution
on
the
part
of
the
owner
with
food
safety,
regular
customers
not
liking
soft
boiled
eggs,
or
something
else.
Hopefully
the
owner
will
consider
adding
the
option
of
a
soft
boiled
ramen
egg
especially
since
the
menu
already
strangely
has
options
for
noodles
that
isn't
used
in
ramen.
The
veggies
were
a
little
strange
here.
By
the
time
I
got
to
the
bottom,
mixing
the
veggies
and
broth
made
it
feel
like
I
was
eating
a
fusion
of
pho
and
ramen.
Not
that
you'd
find
corn
in
pho,
but
it
still
felt
that
way.
The
broth
was
the
biggest
mystery.
It
was
nice
and
creamy.
Comforting
even.
Literally
nothing
wrong
with
it
except
there
wasn't
enough
of
it.
In
most
shops,
the
broth
would
fill
the
bowl
near
to
the
top.
In
the
one
I
ordered,
it
barely
filled
the
bottom.
Maybe
it's
different
with
the
other
bowls,
but
it
was
a
lot
less
than
what
I
usually
see
unless
it
was
tsukemen
which
is
more
concentrated
and
meant
to
be
dipped
in.
I
wonder
if
it's
because
there's
usually
a
lot
of
broth
wasted
after
someone
finishes
a
bowl.
I
can
understand
that
since
most
people
don't
finish
off
the
broth.
As
a
broth
lover
and
one
who
believes
the
broth
is
the
essence
of
a
bowl,
I
can
only
be
left
wondering
and
wanting
a
little
more.
Overall,
it's
nice
and
comforting
with
some
very
obvious
fusion
of
Japanese
and
Chinese
noodle
bowl
styles
at
least
for
their
house
special.
Maybe
the
other
bowls
are
more
traditional.
Very
worthy
of
respect
for
the
area
it's
in.
Just
a
tad
expensive
for
what
you
get,
but
what's
not
in
Fort
Myers?
