Shin-Sen-Gumi Hakata Ramen

Shin-Sen-Gumi has been around for some time now, but in recent years, they have been allowing customers to customize every aspects of their ramen noodle soup. Want more toppings? Done. Want your noodles harder rather than soft? Done. Want more or less of anything? Consider it done. Every customer gets a small sheet to fill out as to how they want their ramen prepared. This allows everyone to try a new combination each time they come back in.

Furthermore, if you find a combination that you like, you can always get a second helping of noodles for $0.99. Also, everyone knows that the core essential of any good ramen is the broth, which is where Shen-Sen-Gumi has always been able to deliver well and consistently. Their broth is well balance each time regardless what kind of toppings you’ve decided to add. That’s probably one of the reasons I always go back to Shen-Sen-Gumi when I’m in the area. As a cautionary warning, don’t go overboard with the toppings since it will add up and easily double your bill.

Kohryu

I knew the moment I discovered ramen was more than freeze dried noodles that you just add hot water to, that I wouldn’t be able to look at ramen the same way again. A few years later, I stumbled upon Kohryu. After tasting their Kohryu Ramen with spicy miso, I became determined that this was my new favorite spot. The Kohryu Ramen had everything I wanted in my ramen, grilled onions, boiled egg, and BBQ pork.

It’s been about 6 months since I found Kohryu, and I am about half way through their menu. With that said, Kohryu still remains on top of my ramen picks. It’s their perfect balance of flavors in the broth that keeps me coming back for more.  If it’s your first time there, try the Kohryu Ramen, but then again you can’t go wrong with any of their ramen.
