Occasion: Friday night dinner for 5. Ventured out to the south bay for some Ramen! 06.17.11
Shrimp spring roll
Nothing spectacular! The sauce however was delicious. I just thought there was too much lettuce in the spring roll and I'd much rather go to a vietnamese restaurant for their spring rolls.
Chicken Karage
So good!! I love the soft tender meat with the perfect golden crisp skin. It's so delicious. Probably the best karage chicken I've ever had. Make sure you squeeze some lemon juice for some acidity.
Fried calamari legs
They don't give you a lot, but it wasn't too bad. I've definitely had better fried calamari else where. What I did appreciate was the fact that the calamari wasn't loaded with batter.
Orenchi Ramen
Love their thick chewy noodles, with their flavorful tonkatsu based broth and their unforgettable half yolky egg. My favorite ramen place in the bay area!
Tsukemen ramen
They only make 20 of these a day, or at least that's how they advertised it. Anyhow, the sauce was separated from the noodles. I didn't expect it to be that way, so I was a little bit disappointed. The sauce was super salty with chunks of pork in it. It seemed more like a soy sauce base than it did a soup/ broth base, which I didn't expect. I definitely enjoyed the orenchi ramen a lot more.
