When my friend comes to NY for a weekend visit, she usually has specific requests as to what she is craving. This weekend, it was Mission Ramen, and she had Tanoshii Ramen booked from her drive in from PA. My husband and I have been meaning to give this place a try, so we went Saturday afternoon, well after the lunch rush.
We literally got the last table for two at this place. The space is small, but does the job. Wood furniture and modern, industrial accents decorate the place for a simple and clean look.
Our waitress was super friendly, and she was surprised that we only wanted to share a bowl of the spicy tantan ramen bowl. We were tempted with the additional toppings they offered, such as extra scallions, egg, pork belly or vegetables, but we decided to be purists in the end.
The amount of depth this bowl had and the unami was really exceptional; my expectations were pretty low. This was a fairly decent bowl of ramen and the heat was just enough for my liking! The fattiness of the broth was so comforting and tasty, that next time, I will have NO intention of sharing! The noodles had great elasticity to them as well, that had me pretty certain they were fresh and homemade. Great presentation; I was overall pretty happy.
I will be bringing the hubby back here as soon as the temperatures hit single digits!
