If you break it all down the broth was tasty and had depth of flavour, but the egg was extremely sweet and the pork was that stewed ham style instead of melt-in-your-mouth Chashu. The asparagus worked, despite my consternation.

Still the best Pho in Oslo, but they should seriously pay more attention to their service department. Sometimes you're sitting for 10-15 minutes without giving your order.

​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.

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.

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.

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?

Kuraya Ramen in Madrid.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
