Notes: A ramen joint in the heart of downtown Colorado Springs! This $13 bowl of ramen is a perfect example of minimalism. Just toasted nori, scallions and a poached egg. The thin slices of pork belly was dry and not well flavored unfortunately. As with the broth, it was a light, pork based broth, with garlic oil but you could barely taste the garlic. The broth maybe a bit too light as the flavors never fully surfaced after each slurp. The noodles were good but tasted just like any ramen noodles supplied by an outside noodle company. Overall a good find in Colorado Springs but don't expect it to be the quality of the West or East Coast!
