"As the sister restaurant to Wasabi, it’s no surprise that the standard tonkotsu at this small North Center ramen shop is great. But the tantanmen is why we longingly whisper “Menya Goku” into our pillows more often than we’d like to admit. Each bowl comes with thin chewy noodles, bok choy, menma, and umami-packed nikumiso ground pork, all swimming in a pork broth spiced with Sichuan peppercorns. Each full-bodied spoonful has enough tingly spice to melt even the coldest of hearts." - josh barnett, john ringor
