Jay Eats Worldwide

It's been awhile since my last "Ramen Monday" post.  I thought it was time to dust off the chopsticks and hit some ramen shops and share with you my findings.  For past posts, you can Google "Jay Eats Ramen Monday" and a list will come up. Meanwhile, let's get to the ramen: If you've followed me, you know that Shin-Sen-Gumi is the place I go to when I just want a simple but good bowl of ramen, I guess you can say it's my In-N-Out for ramen... Love the green onions and red ginger, I always ask for extra beni shoga (ginger). If you've never been to Shin-Sen-Gumi, they only serve one style of ramen, Hakata style. It's a tonkotsu broth which is a pork based broth and served with thin noodles. The thin noodles are my favorite. See What Jay Eats...    I happened to stop in for some Hakata Ramen and a 6 piece order of gyoza.  Usually the gyoza comes out before the ramen. The Best thing I like about S...

Ramen Monday continues... If you've read my previous ramen post Had a meeting in the South Bay today and we ended up at Ramen Yamadaya, so I celebrated Ramen Monday. The specialty here is a Tonkotsu broth, a rich flavored pork broth, which they extract the flavor out of the pork bones. All of their ramen offerings stem from this pork broth, with a choice of thin or thick noodles. Tonkotsu Ramen $7.95 For Tonkotsu, I usually like Shin Sen Gumi's Hakata style. I have to admit that I did enjoy this ramen, I think it was the noodles. Having a choice of noodles was great and were cooked well. This bowl did include an egg, but since I'm not a huge egg fan, took it out... I did enjoy it and will be back. Found out they're opening a location in Culver City, will have to check it out.
