  • replying to u/flushflop: Respectfully I had a different experience :/   Noodles here aren't chewy, okiboru and tsujita have chewier noodles. Even tabetomo's noodles are chewier. Taishoken's noodles are more wheat-forward, however. Another note is that the noodles here are served lukewarm, vs cold at the other places. Broth wise, the flavor is not as strong as okiboru or tsujita. But some people prefer that, not a knock. okiboru's in particular I found is more of a half-dip rather than full-dip (dip half the noodles otherwise broth can be too much). Tsujita you can taste the fish as well, more similar to how they do it in Chuka Soba Tomita (obviously not to the same quality, just a comparison if that's a taste you're craving).  Maybe it's just a consistency issue, but I enjoyed tsujita and okiboru more. Not a bad bowl by any means, but not the absolute best just to temper expectations. Note I've had these 3 all in the past month, so perhaps it was different in the past too. Broths and noodles change over time, similar to how it does in even top tsukemen shops in Japan.

    I've had Tsujita in NJ and LA. Not a fan of how porky forward it is

  • replying to u/pookgai: I'm honestly still searching for a good Ramen shop. I try a new place everytime and still havent found a spot that I can solidly recommend. If youre looking for Tsukemen, i can 100% recommend Okiboru in LES. Tsukemen is my favorite style and Okiboru is the only spot that nails the taste and texture. Ive tried tsukemen from many shops in NYC and CA and Okiboru is the closest to my experiences in Japan.

    I also recommend Tsujita in fort Lee if you ever get a chance to go there, I think it’s better than okiboru
