The wings were amazing and the ramen was great. The service was friendly and made some great recommendations. This is a fun neighborhood gem.
Prepare to be wooed by the nood; this place must have been ground zero for an UMAMI BOMB ???Some info to know:- tare is Japanese for sauce- Chicken Chashu is rolled, pan fried chicken thighs, braised in a sweet soy sauce, and marinated in seasoning- Yu-choy is a long, green, leafy vegetable- Burdock is vegetable root (tastes better than it sounds)And now to the fun stuff?The DraMN Bowl: “Three tares in a chicken bone broth with chicken chashu, soft boiled eggs, yu-choy, burdock, sprouts, scallions, crispy leeks, sesame seeds, black garlic, and chili oils” ? ?The Bali Bali Bowl: Tahini-based sauce in hearty chicken broth, Szechuan ground chicken, slow poached egg, yu-choy, sprouts, braised burdock, scallions, sesame seeds, and chili oil. ? ?Holy buckets of broth… No offense to Maruchan (packaged ramen), but this type of dish shouldn’t be said in the same sentence as that square stuff. Eating a bowl of legit ramen like this is truly an experience; Who knew the aroma of a soup could be so bold and memorable!What’s in there? Plenty of vegetables cooked to tantalizing tenderness to add excellent crunch, savory chicken checks the box for heartiness, and two soft-boiled eggs doin’ their dripping duty, all resting in a broth that can only be described as liquid euphoria. Chili oils, black garlic, and sesame seeds finish off this foreign feast ?My friend got the Bali Bali, and it appeared much thicker and creamier than my bowl. I did not try it but he savored the Szechuan and tahini tare ?Tori 44 totally gets a 10/10. It is on the slightly spendier side and demands a sense of adventure… but their food’s richness is that of royalty, and you won’t regret trying it. In fact, you’ll probably never forget it ??
The Tumerick & Morty ramen was just amazing. Really wonderful flavors and textures. Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu!
Some of the best ramen I've had.Woke up craving kimchi and decided to try something new. Since my pregnant wife is having some trouble with morning sickness I first asked if there was anything on the menu she would want. Luckily, there was! I got their Kimchi Ramen with added mushrooms and chicken, and my wife got their Chicken Noodle Ramen Bowl. Both were extraordinary, and completely satisfied us. We went home happy and talked about the meal for days.
Had the DraMN Ramen, and based on that alone, it excellent! The ratio of ingredients to broth was perfect, the noodles were the best I’ve had in the Twin Cities, and the overall flavor was superb!! The setting, while a bit loud, was unique and cozy. Prices were were slightly high, but acceptable for the quality of food. Service was awesome! Definitely will be coming back soon!
Great atmosphere and great food. The restaurant is smaller so it feels somewhat intimate/neighborhoody/cozy but things are spread out enough that you get your own space and the ambient noise was not loud. We ordered the fried kimchi appetizer and "Show you" as well as "That's a Spicy Miso" soups as vegetarian with an egg. My wife declared that the fried kimchi might be her favorite thing ever, and the miso soup was spectacular as well. Nowhere else has the quality of vegetarian Ramen as this place, I haven't had better meat-based options either. We will be coming back soon.
Sooooo good, had the Dra(MN) and it was amazing, cute quaint little place, with great service, will definitely return.
This was a really delicious and filling meal. I had been looking for a ramen place that had gluten free options to accommodate my celiac disease. I was able to substitute the standard noodles with rice noodles and it did not disappointment. Lovely staff as well and unique drinks.
This might have been the best ramen I've ever had. Takeout was packaged beautifully. Service was quick and super friendly.
I've tried them a few times and just haven't been impressed. The portions are smaller with a higher price tag. The flavors are muted. The staff is always very friendly. Wish they were better since there aren't very many options in the neighborhood.
