I really enjoyed the consistency of the broth, it was thick but not like Gumshara thick so if you are not up for the salty collagen-filled goodness of Gumshara ramen then this would be a suitable alternative if you are craving tonkotsu ramen. The soft-boiled egg replete with an oozy yolk centre was delicious and the garnishing of corn had a subdued sweetness which paired well with the ramen. The chashu was really decent as it had good flavour and was soft and tender. My only gripe is that there was only one piece. Then we get to the noodles which were excellent, as they were soft but still had a good bite to them.

This was essentially a fried squid pancake drizzled with okonomiyaki/takoyaki sauce and Japanese mayonnaise. Apparently it is a dish that originated from Osaka however I did not see this in restaurants upon my visit to Japan so I was keen to try it. I was expecting the squid to be difficult to eat as it tends to be chewy but it was the exact opposite. It was slightly reminiscent to takoyaki in terms of flavour and texture but in pancake form. I would prefer to eat takoyaki but the ikayaki was not bad at all and is worth trying.

If you are a ramen lover like myself or just to want to indulge in a bowl of ramen then hit this place up because it is great. They have a variety of other Japanese dishes on their menu too which I am meaning to try.
