10 Charlotte Comfort Food Restaurants | Eater Carolinas

"For those who find comfort in wanderlust, look no further than West Charlotte’s newest ramen bar, Wu-Ron’s. Curiously tucked away with limited street signage, the intimate noodle shop recently made its soft opening debut and is already buzzing with well-deserved praise. Minimalists rejoice. From its sunlight-drenched natural wood paneling to its sleek, straight to the point menu, Wu-Ron’s embodies the most original Japanese ramen experience yet to hit the Queen City. Choose from three rich, velvety broths including chicken, pork or a vegetarian kelp and mushroom, all accompanied with a generous heap of hand pulled noodles. The Shirozaru classic tonkotsu is packed with rich, pork taste from broth to sliced belly and the Tokyo shoyu blends the best of both worlds within its chicken broth and pork belly topping, adding scallion and bean sprouts for a layered crunch. The labor of love behind each bowl is what makes this Japanese tradition more than just a trend, but a comfort food to stay — certainly as is Wu Ron’s. No flavor packets, no frills, just real-deal umami bliss bathing in each bite." - Sara Akhavan
