Amen Ramen — Restaurant in Bogota, Capital District

Ramen is a Japanese adaptation of Chinese wheat noodles.5911] Ramen was first introduced to Japan by Chinese immigrants in the late 19th[12 or early 20th century.13 According to the record of the new Yokohama Ramen Museum, ramen originated in China and made its way over to Japan in 1859.12] Early versions were wheat noodles in broth topped with Chinese-style roast pork.[5] EtymologyEdit

The word ramen is a Japanese transcription of the Chinese lamian (拉麵).[15 In 1910, a Chinese restaurant serving ramen in Yokohama's Chinatown received public praise in Japan.17 Until the 1950s, ramen was called shina soba (支那そば, literally "Chinese soba") but today chūka soba (中華そば, also meaning "Chinese soba") or just ramen (ラーメン) are more common, as the word "支那" (shina, meaning "China") has acquired a pejorative connotation.[4] Initial appearanceEdit

By 1900, restaurants serving Chinese cuisine from Canton and Shanghai offered a simple ramen dish of noodles (cut rather than hand-pulled), a few toppings, and a broth flavored with salt and pork bones. Many Chinese living in Japan also pulled portable food stalls, selling ramen and gyōza dumplings to workers. By the mid-1900s, these stalls used a type of a musical horn called a charumera (チャルメラ, from the Portuguese charamela) to advertise their presence, a practice some vendors still retain via a loudspeaker and a looped recording. By the early Shōwa period, ramen had become a popular dish when eating out.[citation needed]

What a shame! I'm so disappointed of this place, some friends recommended us this ramen place as the most amazing in Bogotá and we were to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. I thought for days how to do this review but I can't lie. You're so so so far to taste like a good ramen here: Noodles are so thick so you can't even enjoy the umami covering them. The soup from Miso one tasted like a salty dirty sock. Man! 😔 Terrible, seriously so bad. And Tonkotsu mazemen is meh, not as good as people said in social media to be honest, it's plain... You have that feeling of meh in each spoon. Meat is good cooked, the problem is the flavorless. The attention was amazing, they know how to talk and approach to costumers and we gladly appreciate it.

The point is if this is your first ramen you'll think is good but if you're like us, this is a meh place.

Pd: juice from here makes me feel so sick all night so...

Great service and customer attention from our lovely waiter. The setting, lighting and music created a good atmosphere. Pretty average food unfortunately. First, we shared a shiitake bao which I enjoyed despite the bun being a little dry and tough. Next my partner had the veggie ramen and I had the vegetarian kimchi ramen. Unfortunately, the ramen fell short due to not resembling a Japanese ramen at all. I wouldn't have minded this if the meal tasted good but the broth was incredibly oily, it left a coating of fat on my mouth and I couldn't finish my meal due to this. The broth had such a strong flavour it would have more suited a stir fry sauce than a broth. The noodles were sticky and a little undercooked. Despite this, the vegetables on top of the meal - the avocado, corn and pak...
