“Maruhachi Ra-men” was recommended to us by @heywesleyc and the dinner we enjoyed there was of such quality that I was rendered pretty much giddy afterwards. If you know me at all you know that me experiencing a shortage of words is a rarity, and yet that is where I found myself. Try as I might, the post meal words just seemed to evade me. 😯
While I aspired to utilize chopsticks when enjoying my
“Chicken Supreme Ramen”, I quickly surrendered to my impatient urges to blanket my tastebuds by shoveling the contents into my mouth with a spoon as quickly as possible. What occurred over the course of the next several minutes is now mostly a blur to me. 😵💫
However, what I do recall is that the noodles were cooked perfectly, the chicken was unbelievably moist and tender, and the flavorful and creamy broth was wonderfully comforting on a chilly and rainy night.
While I remember enjoying the “Pan Fried Gyoza” prior to the ramen, the joyous food induced coma caused by the latter erased all recollections of the former.
I do recall commencing the meal with the Edamame and that they served it chilled in smoked soy sauce. While it was reasonably flavorful and provided an interesting experience, I struggled to get past its temperature and am not sure that I’d order it again.
The service was outstanding and the staff was extremely attentive and responsive when alerted to my food allergies.
Overall an excellent meal and experience that I’d love to repeat.
And that’s…Henry’s Take.
