Tonchin mid?
Went to Tonchin after seeing so many people love it- it was good, 6/10 imo. Didn't like the chasu and I think the broth could've been richer/creamier, more flavor.

Can anybody explain to me why ramen is so good?
I’ve been around the culinary block a bit. Bartended for 10 years in numerous types of atmospheres (one was a legit Japanese Izakaya in Orlando) but never before have I had an obsession with a singular dish, let alone an entire culinary cuisine set in a small island nation.
Is it the balance of liquid, solid, fat, starch, protein, nutrient mix that ramen takes? Is it the amazing cost effectiveness of a bowl (a 13 dollar ramen is near the same price of a Big Mac meal in the US currently) when it fills your belly and your culinary soul safety eating? Is it the story of enduring preservation of culture, uniqueness, and diversity in a sense of unity after rebuilding half the country from destruction after a world war?
The many times I’ve gotten ramen over the years, I ask myself these types of questions. It’s become more frequent recently with my experience, as I’ve asked “Why do I feel this way towards Ramen than say ‘Lasagna’?”. Or maybe steak? Or sandwiches? Or soup? It was an odd line of internal questioning coming from a culinary aspect. For some reason, I have heavy respect and appreciation for the singular owner of a 3rd generation ramen shop that seats 30 max than a 3rd generation BBQer that seats 150 and gets rave reviews all the time. I never grew up knowing ramen as a regular thing (I knew bbq, steaks, good Italian, a variety of other cuisine samplings) from general socialization in dinners with my family but for some reason the moment I tasted real ramen I was hooked. Now, anytime I can’t think of something to eat “Why not ramen?”.
I’ve never had a food category impact my life so much as this one, and I just wonder if some of you feel the same. For a while, I was burnt out on food culture. I had seen so many types of cuisine and cuisine fusions in my years that I didn’t care if it was a Big Mac or fillet mignon because “Hey I’m getting paid 15 dollars an hour on average to make a 20 dollar cocktail so at least it’s calories”. Once I got introduced to ramen I realized great food can be made in the worst circumstances and that lately changed my perspectives on eating, food in general, and how I spend money on food.
I love ramen, and the history of how a singular dish did so much good for a war-torn nation makes it even better with every slurp. I don’t know how this dish infected my mind, but I’m glad it did. I’m thinking of getting a bowl right now.
Tl;dr: American loathes the current state of culinary society and is reborn culinarily from the power of ramen. Asks why this shit is so good from the community.

The best ramen I've ever had. First place I went to when I arrived in Osaka. Topped anything I've had in any other country. And still unbeaten after many other bowls across the country.
