ramen rating: ramen setagaya – new york city, ny
This is what happens when you wait a full year before reviewing a restaurant…I went to Ramen Setagaya’s University Place location a couple of months after it opened last year, and now, when I’ve finally gotten my act together enough to write the review, I find out it closed about a month ago.

ramen rating: hakodate yaki shio
Continuing with the regional ramen theme, this ramen hails from Hokkaido. Hakodate (city in Hokkaido) is supposed to be famous for their shio ramen. The noodles are nice a chewy.
