Where is the Ramen?
His prices are way too high.

His prices are low compared to similarly high end places in Manhattan. You're looking at minimum $500 at a Per Se or Masa. I don't think Chang's employer taught him anything the entire year he was in Japan.

Someone told me that his ramen tastes like the average fare you would get here. I wonder if he'd be able to compete in the Tokyo scene. Give me a bowl of Tokyo's best tonkotsu, not because I'm a purist, but because I'm cheap (at least that's what the last girl I took to a ramen shop said).

This glamour ramen thing in the West has gone way overboard. Ramen is soul food, not gourmet. Served in a place that shakes when the trains pass.

No thanks.

I hate not knowing what I'm eating.

Amusing comments...Tokyo (and I'm sure all of Japan) is the ramen paradise.

This guy's a michelin starred chef who loved ramen so much he went to Japan for a year and opened up a fushion noodle shop in east village. His 'ramen' is also fushion and is a small part of his menu.
