Lately I have been a bit disappointed in my Ramen adventures, bland broths and seemed like they were phoning it in with ingredients. Mi & Yu have renewed my love of all things Ramen!
I tried the beef dashi soup. It was incredibly hearty, and rich with a slight hint of sweetness. My favorite part of this whole dish..the pork belly! Perfect meat to fat ratio, the belly was amazing! Tender yet ever so slightly crispy, the pork belly was cooked perfectly.
