Shori

The noodles are spot on, relatively thin and not in the slightest overcooked. The broth was reasonably complex and fatty, with a hint of spice in the spicy pork. But the pork slices were cold, thin, and uninspired. Id barely classify them as pork belly; braising would be a quick way of making them more appealing. The soft yolk eggs were also plain, not soaked in any kind of flavoring.

You wouldn't look at this place and think "geez, this is almost Michelin star level cooking". But you would be mistaken! The Beef Tartare was brilliantly presented, resembling somthing you would expect from a high end restaurant, providing unique flavours which complimented each other. The Tonkotsu Ramen was also a great addition to the menu, with a flavoursome tea-stained egg, firm noodles and a rich broth. The guys running the place were pleasant and friendly, and clearly cared about their work and passion for cooking. Definitely a must visit in York!

Absolutely amazing ramen, especially the tonkotsu is some of the best pork I've ever had. The staff are super friendly as well. I go here whenever I can while I'm in York, couldn't recommend it highly enough. Had some trouble finding it the first time I visited, note that it's in Spark up the stairs.
