					<description><![CDATA[Nearly perfect chicken broth shoyu. But just one misstep. Chef-owner Yohei Ishida opened this tiny ramen shop in 2017 to acquaint New Yorkers with what he calls New Tokyo Style Shoyu Ramen, characterized by a clear shoyu broth made mostly from chicken. Given his background with Ippudo, it&#8217;s understandable he&#8217;d want to specialize in an &#8230; <a href="https://ramenclub.net/review-ramen-ishida-new-york/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Review: Ramen Ishida, New York</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A bowl hitting all the right notes at this lively, comfortable restaurant. Reading my reviews lately you&#8217;ll know many of my recent ramen experiences have found one element of the bowl lacking. That&#8217;s why my return visit last week to Ippudo&#8217;s Westside New York restaurant was such a pleasure.

					<description><![CDATA[Time to revisit the well-regarded spot after my scathing 2021 review. I gave the highly-rated Ramen Danbo a negative review in the summer of 2021. That experience was in the middle of Covid, so I had to give it&#8217;s Capitol Hill location another try. I’m glad I did, because things have greatly improved. The first positive change &#8230; <a href="https://ramenclub.net/review-again-ramen-danbo-seattle/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Review Again: Ramen Danbo, Seattle</span></a>]]></description>

Tucked away in a small Santa Clara strip mall off Great American Parkway, alongside nine other eateries and – oddly – a dentist&#8217;s office, sits HiroNori Craft Ramen, a California chain with 15 locations and a&#160;Bib Gourmand recommendation. This location has a 4.4 Google &#8230; <a href="https://ramenclub.net/review-hironori-craft-ramen-santa-clara-ca/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Review: HiroNori Craft Ramen &#8211; Santa Clara, CA</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A funky island spot with personality makes a fine makeshift bowl of ramen.  After my&#160;rant on the disappointing &#8220;just good enough&#8221; ramen I&#8217;ve experienced in Seattle, this post may surprise you. My hopes for Seattle ramen were/are high. But any opinion is based on expectations, isn&#8217;t it? So with expectations muted, I ordered the ramen &#8230; <a href="https://ramenclub.net/review-hi-life-bainbridge-island-washington/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Review: Hi-Life, Bainbridge Island, Washington</span></a>]]></description>

Menya Musashi Tsukeman Ramen has 14 restaurants in Japan and others in Singapore, Taiwan, Malaysia, China and even Ukraine. There are two in the US: Los Angeles and &#8230; <a href="https://ramenclub.net/review-menya-musashi-tsukeman-ramen-seattle/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Review: Menya Musashi Tsukeman Ramen, Seattle</span></a>]]></description>

A perfect&#160;5-star Yelp rating&#160;led us to KO, which just opened a few weeks ago. Did we ever luck out!

					<description><![CDATA[Michelin-honored West 36th Street ramen spot hits most of the right notes, adding comfortable seating and nice vibe. As you can imagine, there are many ramen offerings in Manhattan. Having previously tasted Ippudo, Momofuku, Ivan Ramen and Kame (all very good!), I was hoping for another hit. I found it at Tonchin, a Japan-sourced restaurant &#8230; <a href="https://ramenclub.net/review-tonchin-tokyo-tonkotsu-ramen-new-york-city/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Review: Tonchin &#8220;Tokyo Tonkotsu Ramen&#8221; (New York City)</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A recent transplant to the Seattle area expresses his disappointment &#8211; so far &#8211; with the local ramen scene. A year into my move to the Seattle area and I&#8217;m still unsatisfied, and frankly, a little disappointed. I had high expectations given the many ramen restaurants here and, like San Francisco, a thriving Asian population. &#8230; <a href="https://ramenclub.net/is-good-enough-ever-good-enough/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Is &#8220;Good Enough&#8221; Ever Good Enough?</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Chef-marketer David Chang chooses wisely by outsourcing his instant noodles.  One of my favorite U.S. ramen bowls was at the Momofuku Noodle Bar in Manhattan&#8217;s East Village. Chef David Chang knows what he&#8217;s doing and the kitchen team executes with skill. A marketer as much as restauranteur, it made sense that Chang would hop on &#8230; <a href="https://ramenclub.net/momofuku-instant-noodles-the-best-instant/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Momofuku Instant Noodles &#8211; The Best Instant?</span></a>]]></description>
