Cagami Ramen

Small location but extremely good customer service and food. I ordered the house broth with pork belly and wow is that some of the best tasting I've ever eaten. The servers are always attentive and responsive. Our appetizer was Gyozu which was cooked perfect! I could visit this place weekly it's damn good! Check place out if you're in the area.

Very good flavors and American-sized servings. The Tonkotsu broth has a different flavor than other ramen shops I've eaten at in Japan and Southeast Asia. But that's to be expected. Every shop has their own recipe. The soup was served a bit too cool for my taste. Maybe they do that on purpose so people don't slurp their noodles in the restaurant - LOL. Next time we'll order ours extra hot. I prefer the chashu sliced thin. Here, you get two thick chunks of pork shoulder that you need a fork and steak knife to eat. You could easily get six Japanese-style slices of pork out of the two that are served in the soup. Maybe they also do this for American tastes. The pork is lightly fired which gives it an excellent flavor, though. I ordered the curry ramen which had a rich, flavorful soup. My wife, who is from Osaka, had the old school Tonkotsu ramen. We also had gyoza, which was delicious and I really enjoyed the casual izakaya feel.

Compared to the amazing ramen I experienced in Okinawa, Japan, this is the only local place that even comes close to being as good. It might be a small establishment, but the service is amazing and the visit is worth it. This place is probably now one of my favorite local restaurants and it deserves more business.
