Asahi Ramen

Just blabbing away again...

I honestly had no idea that there are restaurants dedicated to ramen and was smitten with the cute area it resides in. I guess this is my first ramen experience aside from that stuff that comes in the 30 cent package.

Asahi Ramen was really busy and for some reason they did not want to seat us and let every other group go ahead of us. We started with a couple pickled cucumbers which were freakin' amazing! We had gyozas as an appetizer which are little friend potstickers that pretty much taste like every other potsticker (aside from "The Potsticker" in San Francisco). Ricky and I shared a huge bowl (which we could not finish) of ramen noodles in clear broth with half a hard-boiled egg, pork slices, bean sprouts, and green onions. While I admit that it was fairly bland, for some reason I still liked it but would recommend adding some hot sauce or something to it.

Total comfort food, authentic feeling, loud women, healthy I think, super cheap, bland, huge portions, fast service, and something I would like to eat on a overcast day.
