Kamado Ramen @ MidCity |
Kamado Ramen brings a full ramen shop experience to MidCity with made-in-house broth and a menu that stays focused on bowls that actually satisfy. Their soup is made by hand in the restaurant with careful prep and minimal salt which is a nice signal if you hate overly salty ramen.
MidCity makes it an easy plan for a casual dinner before a walk around the district. Expect a modern, upbeat dining room that works for a quick meal or a sit-down bowl with friends.
The ramen lineup covers crowd favorites and gives you a few different directions to go...
If you want a break from soup, they also offer curry rice bowls and cold soba options.
They got beer, wine, cocktails and sake plus Japanese sodas and teas.
Delivery reviews frequently mention careful packaging and broth arriving hot which usually reflects solid kitchen execution even off-premise.
You have to try the Beef Rib Ramen. OMG! It hits the spot!

Pam who? |
My other half is always buying things and sometimes I have to question why in the world. But what we have here is an oil dispenser / sprayer. You get to use the oil you already love (vegetable oil, avocado oil, olive oil, etc). You don't get the extra propellant or additives from sprays like Pam. It gives you control... I think this is what it came down to 🤣. You get to nicely coat whatever it is that you are oiling down.
