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.
This time it was too salty. Needs a little more non-fatty meat for being premium. Overall the portions seem smaller and smaller.

This was a huge portion and delicious. The broth had so much flavor!! I could have done without the pork belly, but thats just personal taste.

this was delicious. the rich tonkotsu bone broth was tasty. the meat is well seasoned and tender, could pick apart with chopsticks, but there's definitely precious little of it in there.
