Ramen Setagaya

I’ve been meaning to check this place out for a while and finally got around to it this afternoon.

I went with the miso ramen based on the waitress’ suggestion between this and one other bowl I was considering.

It was okay. The broth was a bit bland, likely due to the cabbage watering it down a bit. But the egg was perfect, the pork was really nicely cooked (although only two small pieces was a slight bummer), the bamboo shoots were fresh and tasty, the wavy egg noodles were cooked properly, and the scallions were nicely chopped rather than shredded. I think if the broth punches up a little, and if you order this without cabbage, it would be a better bowl of noodles.
