\"Terakawa<\/a>Angela and I have fallen behind on our monthly noodle dates. I blame hellwinter2014\u2026 the cold makes everyone want to hide at home and hibernate.

I arrived right at 12:30pm on a rainy Saturday. The restaurant was very empty when I arrived, but filled up very quickly within the next hour. This place is cash only, so make sure you come prepared.

I ended up ordering the Mayu Ramen ($10) and asked them not to include the roast pork. It is a pork broth, but I\u2019m not too fussy about veggie vs non-veggie broths.

The noodles were a nice al dente. Toppings included bamboo, egg, scallions, red ginger (yum!), and kikurage mushrooms. I found the broth to be incredibly rich, probably because I haven\u2019t had a pork broth in a long time. Two years ago, I would have been bummed about not having any char shu pork, but this bowl of ramen was delicious without it, and the black garlic flavor was amazing as always.<\/p>\n

\"Shoyu<\/a>Angela\u2019s Shoyu Ramen ($9) offered lovely colors. A nice way to cheer yourself up on a gloomy day. Terakawa\u2019s shoyu broth is a chicken broth. And look at all those scallions!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
