The day after our big event, we went to a happy place... a ramen house! And finally, we're able to taste what every ramen fanatic has been raving about... Ramen Yushoken!
I remember someone said that in Japan, you'll know that a place will offer an awesome dining experience if (1) the line is long you have to be on wait list, (2) their menu is short, meaning no variety (either all ramen or all katsu or all sushi, etc). It is so because they just have to offer their specialty. So most probably, you won't see sushi platters in a ramen house, and vice versa.
That is exactly Ramen Yushoken. Although on our very first visit, we're luck enough not to be put on wait list (as we arrived a little past 11 in the morning, still early for lunch) and I think that is because the other customers before us arrived in groups of 4 and above. The two of us can be easily accommodated in their bar section and need not wait on tables to be vacated. I was hesitant at first because I want to be seated with a "proper" table but I thought if we wait, it will take us a while to be seated. I want my ramen fix already!!
I always order Tantanmen (or the equivalent spicy ramen) so I could easily compare each version hehe! Hands down, theirs is the best Tantanmen ramen I've had! It doesn't matter if it's spicy, I've been slurping the broth up to its last drop!
Service is impeccable, there's always someone to assist you. I also like it that they serve you your own pitcher of iced cold water. It saves time when you had to get their attention for a water refill. The place is small though, I wish they will expand given the demand. We will definitely be back!!!
Happiness count: ♥♥♥♥♥
