"This Southern California mega-chain of ramen shops actually does a very nice job with a straightforward tonkotsu broth. Expect something sweet, milky, and rich without being overpowering. Chashau tends to come out tender and fairly well-portioned. Noodles, which Hironori makes themselves, aren’t quite the super chewy alkaline type but more of a pasta-like texture that does a great job of soaking up the broth. Ask for some free grated garlic and housemade chile oil that amplifies the last few bites with spicy, heady flavors. Those looking for a slightly lighter bowl will enjoy the shoyu, still intensely umami with a blend of chicken and pork bones in the broth, but without the richness of the pork fat." - Matthew Kang
