Japanese

Not the typical Japanese restaurant that sells sushi and ramen. Shukuu Izakaya serves primarily Japanese grilled food like grilled mushroom and meat skewers which are both well-seasoned and cooked to perfection. The meat was slightly charred on the outside and juicy on the inside.

I also had the mentaiko grilled scallops which were fresh and sweet, without the mentaiko sauce being too over powering. The shabu shabu beef was a cold dish that caught me by surprise, but a pleasant surprise as the beef is still tasty and flavorful. Overall a great dining experience and would definitely recommend people to give Shukuu Izakaya a try.

So I went to Ramen Nagi and ordered their normal flavored ramen with the “chef recommendation” option. The good thing about Ramen Nagi was the customizability of their ramen. Patrons have a choice of different noodle textures, spice levels, amount of seasoning, amount of garlic in their ramen, different toppings etc. Personally I think it’s great that they allowed customers to do that and it’s not a things you see in most ramen stores. When it came to the ramen the first thing that caught my attention was the glistening pork broth. The broth was thick and really rich with flavor. The noodles were the traditional ramen noodles that you have in most places. A good accompaniment with the flavorful broth. The charsiew was tasty and goes so well with the noodles and broth as well. Overall a delicious dish to all ramen fans.
