Happy to have tried have finally tried it! A good bowl of ramen soup is a great cure for a wet rainy day. Just makes it all better : )

I’m so glad it worked! That thing knocked my cold out in a matter of hours. Which reminds me… I have a cold. Maybe I should go back.

Brownie, yes it is! LOL. That is my current avatar.
I really like their Hakata Ramen too. Their broth is really good.

@brownie… haha- i totally read your first comment wrong. I thought you were going to have spicy ramen a few more times, prior to eating a tasty order of spring rolls.

@stevenp: thanks! I’m trying! But I suspect I’ll be hitting the spicy ramen a few more times before spring rolls around.

@StreetMeasOnsumer3008: haha. Is that their Hakata Ramen in your profile pic?

@CrumbHunter: I love some good jigae, especially when I’m sick. Man, it’s been too long since I’ve had a bowl.

@Ambitious: WHAT? That is so dead wrong that they charged you $1 to make it spicy. Did they do anything especially special for your extra buck? Or did they basically just add the chili paste and red spice powder?

I ordered ramen here last week. Asked them to make it spicy. Charged me an extra $1.

I know I can’t compare fresh ramen to packaged ramen but when I have a cold, it’s Shin Ramen all the way. :)

mmm… milky bone broth.

I’m a fan of kimchi jigae to banish colds – and, subsequently, coworker drop-ins for the rest of the day as well.
