Best pork belly in town!  Would come back just to have the pork belly.  Our guess is the noodles are freshly made on site, but didn't have the traditional ramen noodle texture and they were short in length scoring very low in the slurpability category. The restaurant did not provide a description of the broth.  Based on taste alone, the flavor profile would be most consistent with a shoyu base, but had a unique hint of smoke from the "bacon dashi."  Condiments included cilantro, pickled cucumbers, kimchi, hard boiled egg, nori, and green onions.  We ordered the kimchi on the side so that it would not interfere with the flavor of the broth.  The pickled cucumbers actually worked well with the dish. It came with two slabs of pork belly - seasoned perfectly and extremely tender. Priced at $19 ($16 during brunch), it is a bit on the pricier end but the portion size is pretty big.
