To
put
a
premise,
ramen
is
my
fav
food
in
the
entire
world
as
a
Japanese
and
it’s
my
first
time
writing
a
food
review
because
of
how
shocked
I
was.
It
was
also
the
first
time
I
couldn’t
finish
a
bowl
because
of
how
bad
it
was.
The
broth
was
thick,
with
no
richness
or
depth.
Just
pure
fat
and
oil
swimming
on
top.
The
noodles
too
thick
for
the
soup’s
thickness,
it
was
tough
to
continue,
with
fat
clinging
onto
every
bite.
The
chaashuu
(pork)
was
bland
and
flavorless
and
texture
was
meh.
It’s
supposed
to
be
marinated
w/
soy
sauce
+
sake
+
mirin
and
others.
There
was
also
no
egg,
a
signature
of
a
ramen
bowl.
The
best
part
of
the
dish
was
the
bean
sprouts
and
seaweed,
which
is
sad
to
say.
For
a
€15
bowl
of
ramen
(plus
€4
for
kaedama,
extra
noodles),
you
would
expect
a
decent
bowl
to
be
able
to
at
least
finish.
The
rating
of
this
place
seems
to
be
the
highest
in
the
region,
which
speaks
volumes
of
the
standard
accepted
and
celebrated
here
in
Paris
but
for
me,
it
was
the
worst
I’ve
ever
had.
Maybe
when
it
first
opened,
it
was
really
good
and
now
it’s
living
off
of
hype
w/
drop
in
quality,
as
is
many
restos
elsewhere.
Also
PS.
Their
sendai
ramen
and
miso
pork
ramen
is
identical,
except
for
extra
not-crispy
not-flavorful
full-fat
minced
pork
added
on
top.
Why
do
I
know
this?
Because
they
messed
up
the
order
and
told
me
it’s
the
same
thing
so
eat
it.
Also
hair
in
water,
which
I
usually
don’t
care
but
stacked
w
others,
it’s
worth
noting.
Chef
is
Japanese
though,
he
probably
knows
best
it’s
really
poor
ramen
but
as
long
as
non-Japanese
people
flow
in
and
pay,
I
guess
why
would
he
care.
The
restaurant
had
no
Japanese
person
eating
aside
from
me
and
I’m
not
surprised.
I
don’t
even
live
in
Japan
anymore,
so
I
was
looking
forward
to
some
decent
ramen
in
awhile.
Did
not
expect
a
bowl
i
wouldn’t
be
able
to
finish.
I
make
better
instant
ramen
at
home.
Cute
atmosphere
though.
