Came in looking for a favorite Tan Tan Men most similar to the taste of which we had in Tokyo. Menya Goku’s Tan Tan Men taste essentially identical to it and I’m glad to have a local restaurant that replicates the true taste of an amazing Tan Tan Men. Amazing service and environment and will return again.
Great ramen!! It is a small space and they do not do reservations so be prepared to wait if it is during busy hours. The staff is friendly and fast. The only downside is that I have seen people sit at their tables long after they have paid their check even though there is a line of people waiting to be seated but that's more reflective of the state of our society than the restaurant itself.
It is not clear to me why this is so much better than its sister restaurant, Wasabi. This is probably the best traditional ramen place in the city. Oiistar competes but it isn't traditional and Chicago Ramen isn't in the city.
Anyway, avoid the boring tonkotsu and get anything else and be amazed. The shoyu is as picture perfect version of the ones I had in Tokyo. The tantan is frankly better than the Michelin one I had in Japan. The miso is similarly...
