Tonkotsu Ramen. ($10)
I really liked the soup base, flavourful. it came with 2 pieces of their pork belly, fungus, and the egg nicely sliced with the liquidy orange yolk. It looks a lot less fancy than the one at Momofuku. I would comment that the pork belly was a bit too fatty, more fat than meat on the slices. The noodles tasted a bit different than other ramen restaurants, it was not the typical chewy style but more of an authentic ramen kind. Normally when I have ramen i cant finish the whole bowl. I don't know if i just really enjoyed it or the portion wasnt that big, but I finished all the noodles...but I'm pretty sure guys wouldn't be full from just one bowl.
Zangi, the deep fried chicken. ($4.5)
This was really good. Quite a few pieces and nicely fried. I recommend ordering this. Not bad for 5 bucks.
Food: Excellent.
Service: Good
Price: Average
Atmosphere: There aren't a lot of tables and there's usually a line up. I went around 415 pm, so we didn't have to wait in line. But when we left at 5 it started getting busy, more people came. Yes, it starts getting busy before 6. If you want to come either be prepared to wait in line or just go at odd hours.
Overall: I heard the owners of this place actually went to school studying ramen. That probably explains the result of tasty noodles. Tonkotsu ramen is the best one of the list, I recommend trying it. If you are going to head downtown for noodles, I would say Sansotei tops Momofuku and Kinton for sure. Better ramen for a cheaper price. Only downside is, be prepared for a line up.
