— Dessert! Especially the Banana Pudding!! I’ve been to this Japanese ramen place before and tried all sorts of noodles – soup-based, dipping, and mixed – but I couldn’t quite get why it’s so legendary... 🍜 The signature Chicken Wings appetizer was pretty tasty though. 🍗 Another time, I went for their famous Snowflake Shaved Ice dessert. We had the matcha flavor, which was really good, and the mango one next door looked super tempting too. 🍃 On my next visit, I tried their hand-rolled sushi rice balls. The Unagi (eel) one was amazing! The Ume (plum) one was also great for cutting through the richness. 🍣 But the one that truly stole my heart was the Tokyo Banana – a hidden gem of a dessert I had missed out on before! I’d call it a less sweet version of Magnolia Bakery’s banana pudding (which I also love). The caramel topping on the banana was a highlight. 🍌 I mostly go to the one on 36th Street in Manhattan, which has a nice atmosphere and good service, and the prices are quite reasonable. 🌇 #NewYorkExploration #NewYorkFoodie 🍔🌟
