YOSUMI RAMEN — Restaurant in Novato

This place is super delicious. I got a big order with tonkatsu miso ramen, 6pc spicy tuna roll and threw in a takoyaki a couple minutes after ordering; plus a diet coke. The ramen/sushi of your choice with a drink is technically their combo and it rings up a little over twenty bucks, a nice discount and a hearty dinner id get constantly if I lived in the area. Everything was so solid, the takoyaki were exceptional, the ramen broth rich and drinkable with really good charsui pork for a strip mall spot, better than many fancy ramen joints I've been. The sushi pieces had well cooked rice, a tight roll, and well textured tasty fish.

I was the only diner on a very early Thursday dinner so of course the service was perfect and friendly. So fast too with piping hot ramen and takoyaki. The guy recommended trying the chili oil as the owner makes it with a Chinese twist. The oil was more sesame dominant with a smoky flavor and maybe some Szechuan peppercorn.. super worth adding if it's your style (it's not for spice heads as it was quite tame).

I did see the open sign wasn't lit when I pulled up and thought it was closed, but their hours are accurate and it totally was. The space is super casual, clean, bright and playing some gentle jpop. Go here. It's quite good, and...

I recently visited Yosumi Ramen and had a bit of a mixed experience. While the service was excellent, and the ambiance was very pleasant, making for a comfortable casual dining environment, there were some notable drawbacks. I was also impressed by how quickly the food was ready, and the prices were quite reasonable. My overall food rating is 4/5, with some significant reservations. I tried the tonkotsu broth, and it had a somewhat weird aftertaste, which I suspect was from the bamboo sprouts. This really detracted from the overall flavor for me. The saving grace was the smoked pork chashu, which was absolutely top-notch – incredibly tender and flavorful. My dining companion had the black garlic chicken ramen, and unfortunately, the chicken meat was quite bland. Given the issues with the broth and the bland chicken, I wouldn't recommend Yosumi Ramen...

I came in with a hangover and left as a brand new person. As a LA native, coming across a ramen place that serves such a rich and flavorful spicy tonkatsu, it's a gem. I've searched high and low but finally, the search is over. This place is small and gets filled quickly. Portions can be a little big so come on a empty stomach. The pork was the perfect thin slice and it had three pieces, most places on give you two. The egg was soft but not runny, and the noodles were firm. I ordered the California roll and it honestly taste so yummy, not like the ones from the generic stores. For about 25 dollars, my combo came with spicy tonkatsu, sushi...
