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.
So good that I order two of these weekly, you can’t go wrong with Esther Choi!!

Pork meat had a deep miso-infused flavor but the broth was too salty to my taste, I wished there were slightly more spinach to balance the meat and the saltiness

The pork belly was very fatty. Needs more veg! The broth was tasty but not really what I expected from Tonkotsu Ramen.

Just ok. Meat was fatty or at least my portion was. Kind of bland aside from the broth

Great flavors, but the pork belly was a bit too fatty for my taste.

There’s not enough meat especially for a premium meal there should be at least double the meat and an egg would be good. The real portion has 3x less meat and spinach than in the picture.
