Mr. Ramen has 13 years under its built. Inside, it is always full with regular customers, which range from Asians such as Japanese, to Americans. The secret to their success is the fact that you can choose from a variety of choices for your topping and soup thickness. It was a considerate move from the restaurant, who claimed that people are different races and has different religions, and therefore must have different foods to eat and differ in how they eat them. There is a huge vegetarian menu too, which makes the restaurant very popular to foreigners.
The chilled hiyashi chukka is a plate you must have in the summer. At Mr. Ramen, they have four different types of hiyashi chuka. Chicken, beef shabu shabu, and regular. Again, there is a tofu hiyashi chuka for the health nuts and vegetarians.
This time I will be introducing the owner’s recommendation, the beef shabu shabu hiyashi chuka. The numerous beef slices that top the hiyashi chuka was cooked in shabu shabu hot water and then quickly chilled in cold water. With the fat gone, the beef is firm and light. The miso sauce that covers the hiyashi chuka is a blend of miso, soy sauce, vinegar, and mirin. In the sauce has sesame seeds scattered about. The original straight noodles are also topped with bean sprouts and green onions, which makes it looks pretty and gives you a sense of summer. If you mix the noodles in with the sauce, the rich miso flavor is followed by the sourness of the vinegar and it is refreshing in your mouth. The hiyashi chuka is something you definitely want to try in all flavors.

There is also the house special chashu ramen, served to you in a big bowl. The soup is clear and very light. As for their special chashu, pork is cooked in the oven, dropping all the unnecessary fat. Then it is cooked for a long time in the special soup. Thrown in that soup is bonito base, garlic, many different kinds of vegetables, and further cooked. They choose the pork that has bones on them, and the owner himself cuts them up. He says that any meat that already has the juice coming out is not good, since the flavors are all out with it. The chashu is cooked in the ramen soup for 2 hours, so it makes it very soft. But the chashu is surprisingly very light tasting, considering how thick it is. There are actually a lot of customers who come specifically for the chashu.
