2.5 munchies: Heard so much about Sumo Bar Happy’s collagen-rich, umami tonkotsu broth after long hours of simmer, but I couldn’t get over the slight burnt taste in my char siew ramen. I also wasn’t particularly a fan of the thin texture of the ramen. Thankfully, the thick-cut roasted, slow-braised char siew from Nagano was super tender and had a good amount of fat.

All ramen dishes come with house-marinated bean sprouts, toasted seaweed, black fungus, and free-flow marinated soft-boiled eggs.
