New York Ramen - Raku 🍜

Alright, this isn't actually ramen but udon (I just wanted to keep writing about ramen 🥢). Raku is truly famous! Even on a Wednesday at noon, there was a line. At around 12:05, there were already about 10 people waiting 🕒. By the time it was my turn, the place was packed, and I was told to come back in half an hour 😅. Their famous udon has lots of options. I ordered the beef curry udon 🍛. The first bite almost scalded my tongue before I could even taste it! It was very, very hot 🔥. The beef was sliced thin, like the kind you find in hot pot 🍲. The curry broth wasn't thick, but it had a strong flavor 🌟. The udon noodles were super chewy and bouncy, unlike any I've had elsewhere. Honestly, I just remember how delicious the noodles were 🥢. When I checked out, they gave me frozen grapes (everyone got them). Was it to soothe my scalded tongue? 🍇 After I left, I noticed the line had disappeared. If you want to try it, maybe go around 1 pm when it's less crowded 🕰️. #nyc #nycrestaurant #udon 🌆🌟
