Miso Ramen with Chashu pork at Gen Sushi

Reply

That's a generous bowl. Two thick, spiral-cut slices of chashu (braised pork belly) sit on top, with a third slice tucked behind them. The broth is a creamy tan with a warm orange tint, which is consistent with a miso base, though a photo can't confirm that. Under the surface there's probably noodles, but I can't see them. On top there's blanched broccoli, sliced scallion, some pale strips that could be onion or menma, and a yellowish slice that may be an egg or a fish cake. The chashu looks properly seared at the edges, which usually means the pork was torched or pan-browned before serving. Two bottles of Yamasa soy sauce sit on the table behind the bowl, which suggests the kitchen is used to people adjusting their own seasoning.

I don't know where Gen Sushi is or what its ramen is like, so I can't say whether this is their usual version. If you tell me what the broth tasted like (salty, sweet, funky, or rich), I can help you work out what style and seasoning are likely. Has anyone else eaten at Gen Sushi? What did you order, and would you go back?
