I opted for the Shoyu Ramen, and it did not disappoint. The broth was savory and aromatic, with just the right balance of soy and rich goodness. The noodles were fresh and perfectly cooked, providing a delightful chewiness that paired wonderfully with the broth. The toppings, especially the soft-boiled egg and tender chashu, elevated the dish to another level.
