Chef Esther's take on a classic Japanese noodle soup. Her version pairs a long-simmered, rich and creamy broth with fresh ramen noodles and sliced tender braised pork belly. Spinach and corn are the finishing touches on this show-stopping, deeply flavorful soup.
Soup base tastes great. I also love the pork belly. Will continue ordering this.

So good as usual. Just needs a little bit more corn. I wish this were on the menu more often.

Pork belly is well seasoned and tasty. Concentrated broth for DIY soup is genius. Noodles could be better quality. Could use more noodles and veggies.
