Santouka // San Jose, CA
Superb broth, traditional ramen noodles, comes in 3 different sizes,
optional small rice bowls to cleanse the palate
soy bean broth with chashu rice bowl and marinated egg
vs.
Ramen Dojo // San Mateo, CA
Thick noodles, innovative toppings, bowl-licking type of broth
pork garlic broth, mild spicy, with standard toppings (lettuce, chives, pork slices,
roasted garlic, quail egg, "chicken gravy")
This is a hard one... Winner: Ramen Dojo!
Dojo wins hands down. But for the day-to-day ramen experience, Santouka is a great option.
ReplyDeletegasp dojo over santouka?? now I have to go!
ReplyDeleteyou should compare two places that are close by, then maybe we can meal-hop and compare both places in one day....piggy much? for example - santouka vs orenchi! =D
