Reena "Maple me up" M.'s Profile

Shaman-like Ramen

Wikipedia says that shamanism is a range of beliefs and practices regarding communication with the spiritual world. They also have healing powers. When I eat ramen, I feel there is a connection with higher powers and feel healed. Here's where I go for Ramen (and other noodle-y soups that aren't ramen but have equal powers).

I got the Tonkotsu ramen with shoyu and it was perfect for the…More »

Delicious! The noodles are perfect and the broth was great! It wasn't too fatty and the meat and everything was amazing. The eggs were poached to perfection--but I am not a fan of the eggs so I passed them on to my friend. Service was very polite.…More »

Oh my! Hand pulled noodles in soup with lamb (noodle soup #2, btw)! It's soooooo good. The broth isn't too salty. I've never had lamb broth anywhere else so I doubt they use boullion or anything else but lamb to flavour this homemade broth. The…More »

So, this was my 2nd time ever trying Ramen. I'm by no means an expert on this subject. So in comparison to my last experience, this is what I thought:

Pretty tasty ramen, less fatty than gMen ramen in Richmond. The shoyu broth was an opaque tan…More »

This review is a little delayed, but still a memorable experience. Came here on cold rainy day, when ramen can be best enjoyed. I ordered the Shoyu ramen--my usual. The broth was delicious! Not too salty. Not too fatty. Not too transparent. It…More »

I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the Akaoni ramen on their menu, as I haven't seen a spicy soup base in many (if any) other ramen places around town. And it had the basics in it that I want--ground pork, beansprouts, bamboo, green onions. The…More »
