This week I decided to go to a popular ramen spot in Pasadena called "Tatsunoya".
We got there at about 9:00pm on Sunday and there was a line of about 10 poeple ahead of us. But luckily we were seated in about 10 minutes, so we did not have to wait long.
The interior design was a bit interesting. They had a big tree trunk sticking out right in the middle of the center table.
And of course a counter table right in front of the ramen chefs.
While waiting for our ramaen, we ordered a couple of appetizers. One of those was the Edamame. It seemed to be quickly sauteed so it was a bit oily, but I loved the flavor!
The other appetizer we ordered was the Crispy Chashu Wrap. This was a spicy chashu with lettuse and cheese, wrapped with seaweed. Kind of like a japanese taco, if you will.
And the ramen! You can choose 3 types of broth. "Rich", "Light", and "Spicy". Of course I would have to go with the "Rich" broth ramen with extra chashu.
The rich pork broth was spectacular! It was exactly what I wanted from a pork broth ramen. The noodles were exactly what I expected a pork broth ramen to combined with. "Thin" style ramen noodle of course! Perfect!
The chashu. Wow! it wasn't a thinly sliced piece that you might get at other spots. The chashu was thicker than any spot I've been to. And even better, the flavor was awesome as well!
I would definitely recommend Tatsunoya Ramen shop to anybody and everybody.
If you're ever in the area and craving ramen, this is the place!
