First time in my life I haven't completely finished a bowl of ramen.<br /><br />Service was good, prices are good (but I'd rather pay the extra at tonkotsu), lighting is way too strong and feels like I'm sat in starbucks.akibahttp://dfsfdssfdsfdfsdfds.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659859995099007525.post-76784257612981196042012-12-19T17:44:39.287+00:002012-12-19T17:44:39.287+00:00Lizzie - I saw on twitter that shoryu are upgradin...Lizzie - I saw on twitter that shoryu are upgrading their pork. If they crack nail it, that just leaves the egg to be pimped up.

Liked the toppings, but Bone Daddies' pork definitely pips them. Apparently though Shoryu are introducing a fattier pork cut from yesterday onwards.Hollow Legshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152329184111658897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659859995099007525.post-43544595526655668462012-12-14T16:11:26.437+00:002012-12-14T16:11:26.437+00:00Ute - the milky appearance is what makes a good to...Ute - the milky appearance is what makes a good tonkotsu broth!

But it was ok. At least the bloody music was at a nice level where you cold have a conversation. I wish Bone Daddies would listen to that piece of advise.<br />Mzunguhttp://www.ilivetoeatandeattolive.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659859995099007525.post-62174751370305910902012-12-13T09:03:49.002+00:002012-12-13T09:03:49.002+00:00The milky stock doesn't look all that appetisi...The milky stock doesn't look all that appetising I have to say... but then again, if it tastes good... Haven't been to either Shoryu or Bone Daddie yet, maybe I wait till the hype dies down? Although a bowl of steaming noodle soup sounds very tempting just now...
