Review of Akamaru 1.0 at IPPUDO Westgate by atozee

I was surprised at how well the broth mimicked the tonkotsu ramen broth and the noodles were on point. In fact, the dish was nearly perfect except for that plant-based char siew which tasted like salty rubber. I’m sorry I’m not the biggest of fan of it but I really appreciate that the most important part of ramen, the broth, was executed well. I can think of so many variations the chain can do with this broth. I would for instance, love an unapologetic garlic and chilli hit. Would I order this ramen again? Yes for sure, but I’ll be fishing the plant-based char siew out of my bowl 😜.
