Shoki Ramen @ Sacramento

Something amazing exists in Sacramento...something tasty exists in Sacramento, something that my tastebuds still want! they're still craving it....it's RAMEN! No, it isn't the ramen that you buy at Safeway, or even the Ramen you buy at some asian store, but the real LEGIT ramen (granted I've never been to Japan, so I can't fully compare). Ramen at Shoki Ramen is AMAZING, I've had ramen at Asahi in Los Angeles, and Shokie is better!!!! whoa...i know...that's crazy.

Shoki Ramen if off of 24th avenue and Broadway in Sacramento. It's a completely hidden spot, and seats maybe 20 people? Yes i know i have a habit of finding places that are small and doesn't sit that many indivdiuals, but hey! the best are like that! the noodles are HOMEMADE, and the pork...wow it falls off the chopstick and melts the whole way to your belly!

you can choose which size you want...i recommend regular, unless you're a fatty then ok go with large

kitchen is where the magic happens, and it's not hidden...not at all

Chashu Shoyu Ramen
[chasu aka bbq pork, soy sauce brothen, ramen, topped with bamboo shoots]
i need another bowl....the pork just melts into your mouth, down your esophogus, and straight down your belly. the noodles, are al dente, and fresh. tastes nothing like the packaged stuff that they fry in hot oil and then wrap plastic around it. i loved the bamboo shoots, it was a nice added flavor and texture to all of it. the broth, amazing...i didn't sense there was a lot of msg since i wasn't that thirsty afterwards. oh yea...to make this noodle EVEN BETTER YOU ADD...

TOGARASHI!!!! it's japanese red chilli pepers/flakes that you would add to udon or soup noodles. i like to add tons, so it gets incorporate to every bite...oh yum

look at the noodles! for reals...they are not store bought, but made fresh.
