A ramen spot in Jamaica Plain? Yes, please! But don't go calling this a ramen-only joint, because they serve all kinds of noodz over there, from Japanese ramen bowls to Thai noodle soups, rice bowls, and plenty of other Asian-inspired dishes.

Being cold and famished, I went with a roasted pork steamed bun ($4) and one of their Tan Tan Men bowls ($12) and proceeded to sit down and look outside their large, front-of-the-store window for my food to get prepped up and arrive.

My pork steamed bun was pretty good but what they don't tell you, is that it's not your typical chashu pork - they use a pork-belly cut which is much, much fattier. They used it in my appetizer as well as in my ramen. I don't mind a lil fat here and there but this proved too much for me. It was good but not as good as the more traditional cuts you get which have more meat.

But it was all decent and the bowl of Tan Tan Men was pretty damn tasty outside of those super fatty pork slides. The broth had great depth of flavor and I slurped it all up in minutes.

The price is about right and the service was great. The place is cute but all they have is counter-style seating which means that groups of more than two will probably not have the best time hanging out there and trying to talk, etc...
