A New Segment: Battle of the Ramen Bowl

Trying out a new idea, I am going to occasionally feature a dish or entree item from two different restaurants, written in a small amount of words, for the ultimate battle - which one is better?  Disclamer: this is solely my own opinion, and may differ from yours.  Really, I recommend that you should try it out for yourself!

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!

  1. Dojo wins hands down. But for the day-to-day ramen experience, Santouka is a great option.

  3. you 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
