This time, I had the Sesame Sauce Ramen with Minced Pork, or Tan Tan Men. This is the same thing that Sarah Lin had when we were in Japan together at a train stop Ramen shop.

This place isn’t the cheapest, but it will definitely fulfill a craving.

I just wish some place had Curry Ramen!

Apparently, Kahoo Ramen took over ownership of the legendary Tokushima Ramen in the same space, right next to Mitsuwa Supermarket. Although I can’t comment on the old place (never got a chance to eat there), this place is pretty darn good.

I’ve been to Japan, and had Ramen several times at various quality levels.

This place has shio (salt), miso, and shoyu (soy sauce) broth… I have only had the miso ramen with vegetables, because that’s what the lady recommended.

It was fresh, hot, and filling. From my experience, it’s pretty authentic. It reminded me of the champon across the street at Ringer Hut because of all the veggies and pork slices, and the amount you get. Solid.

Came here with a bunch of friends for lunch, after they finally re-opened as Kahoo Ramen. Around 1:30 on a Saturday afternoon, the line was long and about a 25 minute wait. Figures, because inside is quite cramped with a bar and like 4 or 5 something tables. I ordered a generic ramen bowl consisting of minced pork miso soup, etc. I wasn’t impressed, but I wasn’t disappointed either. $10 for a bowl of ramen left me pretty filled, but there was nothing special to justify for 4 stars or above. Service is what you would expect, menu consists of good variety, including both spicy dishes, but they all essentially use the same soup base.

Refills are $2 for noodles.

A friend recommended Kahoo as a good spot for a quick ramen fix, and I wholeheartedly agree. The restaurant is focused on providing quick service and quick food at reasonable prices, and does a good job of doing so in its small space.

Given the semi-hidden spot behind the Mitsuwa supermarket, the lunchtime line out the door was an encouraging sign. Food-wise I was pretty satisfied, and I’ll definitely come back in the future.

I had the small shio and fried chicken over rice special… wow. It’s pretty much my default answer to my wife about where to go for an easy meal.

This place took over Tokushima which I think was much better. I had the shoyu ramen, and while it was okay, it was kinda generic, nothing anything special about the noodles or broth. The broth used to be a bit better and less salty, and with more types of meat like cha shu that did not resemble its Chinese counterpart. Think I will miss that from Tokushima the most.
