E Ramen - Review - Midtown - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"Skip past the rice bowls and seaweed wraps on the menu and head straight for the section accurately labeled “this is what ya came for.” And of course, it's in the name since E-Ramen makes really good ramen combinations that you won’t find anywhere else in the city. Think: lobster with a miso broth, the wagyu ramen that regularly sells out, and even vegan selections with an option to substitute kale noodles and pumpkin broth. At lunchtime groups of Tech students and Midtown office workers fill up the sun-lit tables while solo diners hit the bar counter to slurp their noodles while trying not to splatter their laptops with rogue drops of broth. Food Rundown Crispy Tuna Spicy tuna sits on top of a fried rice square. The wasabi lime sauce and sliced serrano kick this up to a must-order appetizer. photo credit: Amy Sinclair It’s A Wrap Chicken or pork along with cucumber is wrapped in a mini, doughy flatbread. It’s a pretty filling appetizer if you’re extra hungry, but you won’t miss much if you skip it and go straight to the ramen. photo credit: Juli Horsford Miso-Hot Ramen The miso broth is a little spicy but not enough to scare away anyone who rivals a newborn in spice tolerance. The pork shoulder is cooked well, but the star is the tender ground pork that sops up the flavorful broth. photo credit: Amy Sinclair Lobster Ramen You can really taste the lobster flavor in this bowl. And there’s a good enough amount of lobster bits swimming around in the buttery and garlicky broth to make the $24 price tag seem reasonable. photo credit: Juli Horsford E Signature Ramen This is a solid option for the traditionalists. It has a classic pork broth (though a little creamier than most) with drops of chili oil that gives it a tiny hint of heat. photo credit: Amy Sinclair photo credit: Amy Sinclair photo credit: Amy Sinclair photo credit: Amy Sinclair Pause Unmute" - Juli Horsford
