New York Menkoi Sato π
Tucked away in the bustling food scene of New York, Menkoi Sato is a hidden gem of a ramen chain hailing from the snowy streets of Sapporo, Japan. π While it might not be the most talked-about spot in the city, itβs definitely worth a visit for any ramen enthusiast. πΈ Shoyu Ramen π When the Shoyu Ramen arrived at the table, I was genuinely surprised. The rich, aromatic soy sauce chicken broth is incredibly photogenic, topped with finely chopped onions and fresh scallions. A delicate layer of froth floats on the surface, making it look almost too good to eat. But of course, you have to dig in! π³ The broth is incredibly rich and flavorful, with a depth of taste that only comes from hours of simmering. The bamboo shoots are perfectly seasoned, adding a nice crunch to each bite. The noodles are thick and firm, giving them a nice chew thatβs different from the more delicate varieties you might find at other ramen shops. This bowl is truly satisfying and leaves you feeling like youβve had a hearty, delicious meal. π πΈ Atmosphere and Service π½οΈ The ambiance at Menkoi Sato is cozy and inviting, with a modern yet traditional Japanese touch. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring that your dining experience is nothing short of perfect. Whether youβre grabbing a quick lunch or enjoying a leisurely dinner, the atmosphere here is perfect for any occasion. πΏ πΈ Value for Money π° Including the tip, the Shoyu Ramen comes out to around $24 per bowl. While it might seem a bit pricey, the quality and flavor of the ramen make it well worth the cost. Itβs a true indulgence for any ramen lover. π #NewYork #RamenLovers #JapaneseCuisine #HiddenGem π
