Ramen Butcher @ Chinatown

Food:  2.5/5   Service:  3/5   Atmosphere:  3/5   Price: 3/5

 We were too lazy cooking on a rainy Wednesday we decided to go for Ramen!
 Ramen Butcher is a new Ramen place at Chinatown that runs by Menya Jouji.  It is a famous Japanese group that runs 150 ramen bars in Japan.

We were there around 8ish and no line up.  Lucky!

I love it!

 

7-type of Ramen - we picked BLACK and ORANGE
Options of Lean or Fatty Pork when you place order.  You can add extra noodles for free.

My ORANGE:  Tonkotsu (pork) broth with rich miso marinated ground pork. 
House made noodles with aburi pork chashu and a medium boiled marinated egg @ $11.55
The Miso Tonkotsu broth was thick and flavorful.

Hubby's BLACK:  Tonkotsu (pork) broth with roasted garlic oil, house made noodles with aburi pork, chashu and a medium boiled marinated egg @ $10.95
The roasted garlic oil Tonkotsu broth was so so.  The broth was rich and not too greasy but we enjoyed ORANGE over the BLACK. 

The noodles were handmade in house here.  They were thin noodles like Chinese [Dandan noodles].  Too bad the noodle was not what I like and no special at all.  The texture was like the typical Shanghaiese noodles. 

The Chashu was tender and delicious but one-piece only?! 

Additional Mini Chashu Rice

The chashu portion was generous in a mini bowl of rice.  Okay tasting but no special.   

After tasting it, it is not the best ramen in town but still averagely good.  Ramen Butcher would not be my favorite ramen bar ; I still think "Kintaro" is better overall because I like their rich egg flavor and chewy noodles more.
