We went along for the Second City Ramen night, i was hopeful of fresh beautiful flavours and my expectations were exceeded. The broth was bursting with depth and flavour yet light. The chashu pork was cooked to perfection, the fat was rendered to perfection as im not a fan of gelatinous fat, this was just right, the corn was perfect too. I have never tried tofu before although I've had it on my plate several times, the consistency has always put me off but omfg....smoked crispy tofu..i need it on the regs!
