Good luck getting a seat at Ippudo on Friday night. It doesn't even matter that it was raining. So instead I opted for the next best ramen joint, Ramen setagaya. The wait was only 10 minutes, any more than that for ramen is ridiculous. So what did I think? Not bad, broth was thick and rich with umami flavor, toppings of fatty pork and soft boiled egg were perfect, and the noodles were nice and al dente. How do they make those eggs so good? The yolks had the texture of honey! Too bad the gyoza weren't better.It's not as good as Ippudo but seriously it's just ramen...why would you wait 2 hours for it? I'll just have to return to Ippudo for lunch on a weekday like Tuesday when it's not busy.
