 Rating: 5 / 10 All in all the meat was decent, though some pieces had a rather mealy texture to them, the noodles were standard, the accompaniments all the usual (deep fried shallots too), but the main problem was the broth. Overly sweet, not balanced at all. The type of broth you take one spoonful and think this might be promising and then its all downhill after. I wouldn't return. It really was that sweet, an the price didn't hold back either.

 Rating: 7 / 10 The holy grail of finding a killer bowl of Beef Noodle Soup is diabolically hard. Even in Taipei, you'll find one's that are too sweet, too bland, noodles are average, noodles are great but beef is dry, etc. The hunt is a viable use of your time on earth, and this place did everything right except the salt content. It was AGGRESSIVELY salty which took the shine out of an otherwise promising dish.
 Rating: 6 / 10 Overly sweet and muddled broth, decent noodles and unforgiveably dry, chewy beef. For the price and the look of the locale, the food was fine but not fire.
 Rating: 6 / 10 Most definitely not a shoyu broth like I'm used to, more a clear, thin, beef-soup-like job with extremely chewy/dry pork, nicely cooked noodles and a well cooked egg but not marinated at all.
P.s. I asked for them to skip the naruto, I mean who the hell actually likes that shit?  Rating: 7 / 10 Probably as close to authentic tasting ramen as you'll get in Spain, however the Tonkotsu broth is on the "thin" side without much creaminess. The pork was spot on, the egg was a consummate disaster hard boiled and unimaginative, the noodles were slightly over but my endless photoshoots could be the culprit.
 Rating: 6 / 10 Lost in the vacuum of Ramen-less life, I found a temporary lover in the form of a mediocre bowl. Nothing exciting, but sometimes in life you don't need the fireworks, you just need a cold hug.
 Rating: 6 / 10 A rather average broth, some fairly good noodles and a tasty chashu combine to make an O.K. attempt at Ramen in the city of Pizza and Pasta.
My advice? Throw away the naruto... nobody likes it.  Rating: 4 / 10 Crushing bowls is fun, but not if you're at Yoshi Ramen. Passable soup, overcooked noodles, boring egg and really, really raw-fat heavy pork.
 Rating: 8 / 10 Tart and tantalising Dan Dan Noodles at this tiny little local favourite.
 Rating: 7 / 10 A few minor adjustments and this would be a phenomenal bowl of ramen in the city of Florence.
 Rating: 8 / 10 "Hipster vibes, but solid dives into the Ramen bowl"  Rating: 8 / 10 "One of the best Pho in Oslo, and it's vegan! Legit delicious stuff"
 Rating: 9 / 10 "Udon of the highest order at this tiny corner bar in Florence".
 Rating: 2 / 10 Lukewarm broth, tasteless pork, huge chunks of spring onion battering your palate, insipid soup and buckwheat noodles all came together to make this a sizeable disaster.
 Rating: 7 / 10 "Who knew you'd find stand-up legit Pho at an outlying market in Odesa, Ukraine".
 Rating: 7 / 10 Too overly sweet for me, but a tasty bowl of Pho near Revolver. Not the first place i'd return to based on the mammoth prices, but the service was good and the location is unbeatable.
 Rating: 4 / 10 "Bereft of care, a plate of dissatisfaction placed down by a kind face with a sad heart. No love was put into this. No passion. Just a routine of pouring, boiling, scooping, shaking and portioning ad infinitum."
 Rating: 9 / 10 "Who would have thought the best Pho in Oslo would be in a non-descript Sushi place? Not me".
 Rating: 7 / 10 Better than average broth and a dynamite take on Chashu at this modern venue in Lviv.
 Rating: 4 / 10 "If you like your ramen thick like Christmas gravy, then this is your jam"
 Rating: 7 / 10 This was as close to good as we found in Kathmandu, and we tried quite a few spots. The broth was hearty and warming, and everything but the actual chicken was tasty.
The meat was fried and dry, but leaving that aside this was Kathmandu's best bowl of Thukpa.  Rating: 4 / 10 It's often a foolish pursuit to try Japanese dishes in strange places, Kathmandu, for example. However, due to the large amount of travellers, and ex-pats, sometimes there are people who know what they are doing and make a decent living from keeping their regulars happy.
This place is not one of those.  Rating: 9 / 10 Fuck me. This was already the best bowl I had eaten in my life. The next 15 minutes passed in slurping heaven, perfect noodles, moist chicken, crunchy noodles, mustard greens, red onion and specks of life-giving coriander all came together in a majestic symphony of flavours.
 Rating: 6 / 10 This Thukpa will satisfy your cravings, but won't massage your soul.
 So it's Loi Krathong, I barely realised. I woke up after days of speckling the porcelain after eating a streetfood Khao Soi that was definitely not worth the pain and agony. I feebly walked the 6 blocks to this ramen spot that featured highly on all the lists and lips. The place looked suspicious, however, presumptions aside I walked in, found a cool corner (insatiable heat), ordered the shoyu with bean sprouts and anxiously watched the chefs prepare.
The food came after a delay since 5 hungry Japanese revellers ordered just before me, however, the bowl was placed and I basked in its possibilities for a second, before raising my spoon and diving in. To be fair the broth was acceptable... in that "could have been more flavour" way, but acceptable. The noodles were cooked well, sustaining some personality in their mesh of spiderweb constellations. Pork, rather tasty but rather chewy. FAAAAR too many bean sprouts in proportion to the rest, egg decent. The thing that brought it down a notch from a solid score, was the broth just lacked that little umami-kick that elevates everything. Be it more tare, MSG or tender loving care, I don't give a fuck... just give me the flavour and i'll be happy. An altogether forgiveable effort, but there are far better ramen shops in this small town for those who are dependant on a bowl now and then. 6.5/10 |
