Gyoza Ramen March is National Noodle Month! Today is Ramen Monday and I'm in a Hurry! So, I'm having my gyoza in the soup. I don't have time to wait for my order to be served in two parts. The thing I don't get is why Japanese open ramen restaurants in the U.S.? In Japan, they have ramen shops where you'd sit at the counter and service is fast. When ramen shops open here, they slow down the process and takes 15-20 minutes to serve ramen? It should take no more than 5 minutes to serve ramen, the noodles take 3-4 minutes to cook. If you've had Vietnamese pho, you know what I mean... I don't know, maybe I'm asking too much... What do you think? Just a Noodle Rant... Happy National Noodle Month!

Yes, it's Ramen Monday again... I was in the area of Tamaya in Alhambra, so I stopped in for a quick bite. Earlier, I had picked up some Asian ingredients from the Japanese market for a chef friend, should be refrigerated but not that hot out yet. So, I'm short on time today and ordered gyoza ramen, ahh two-in-one. Gyoza Ramen Tamaya $6.50 Brought the bag of items into the restaurant, wonder if anyone thought I brought in my own food? The great thing, from the time I ordered, until the time I left...15 mins and it was a two-fer. Have a great RAMEN MONDAY and start to the week! See you Next Monday! Would love to hear your ramen recommendations! Tamaya in Alhambra is now closed. Photo by Jay Terauchi Jay Eats ©Jay Terauchi
