It’s been a while since I’ve been to the Rio, so I was really excited to check out the Canteen food hall. Out of all the restaurants, I decided to go with the Ramen spot. I ordered directly through the kiosk which made the process go smoothly. After 10-15 minutes I received the text letting me know that my food was ready for pickup. There’s a self-service area with utensils, napkins, and condiments that you can grab to accompany your meal.
I ordered the Shogun Ramen and it was presented elegantly in a large traditional bowl. There was plenty of warm broth, chewy noodles, and abundance of delicious toppings. The pork was rich and fatty which paired wonderfully with the fresh veggies. Everything mingled so well together especially when you take a bite of that perfectly cooked jammy egg. As for the broth, it was definitely on the bland side. It was missing those deep and complex umami flavors, which to me is the most important part of the ramen.
