$12.95 + 1.00 spicy chili paste
(other food, and tax/tip not included)
Tucked away in a strip mall plaza, you wouldn't think anything special about this Ramen house from the outside, especially when its sitting right next to a New Tun Kee Noodle house, but this ramen noodle house is a hidden gem in San Jose.
We went there around 1:30pm, well past the lunch rush, however the place was still a bit busy. We were seated quickly and had ordered in a matter of minutes. We each got the Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen with thick noodle, and when I asked how spicy the dish was he replied "very mild" and then suggested the chili paste when I indicated I like it very spicy.
Once the bowls arrived I tasted the broth, it was the porky creamy goodness that I expect in a good ramen bowl, and despite being labeled as spicy, it was not, and so I added the 1/2 the chili paste which brought the spicy level to a very good level of kick.
The noodles were thick and chewy, just like I like them, and all of the added toppings were cooked to perfection. It wasn't long before we both had devoured the bowls in front of us and we were both extolling the virtues of the dish we had ordered.
I'll certainly be back for some more ramen at this location!
You can also follow me on the various social media sites, where I typically post tidbits, previews, and other items that might not encompass a full blog post or full length video. I also sometimes put up info on upcoming activities, live streaming events, Q & A's, or just the day to day musings!
Thanks for stopping by!
