Kotetsu Ramen

I like ramen, but I very rarely have a craving for it. And when I do, I am picky. if I am going to eat ramen, it had better be good ramen.

Kotetsu, unfortunately, is not really good ramen.  It is not bad ramen, It is just okay ramen. On the plus side, the meat was better than I was expecting. Sometimes you strike out and get rubbery meat - looks and feels like chewing on an eraser - and that is the worst. But this meat was soft and identifiable.  A little to thin, but let's not split hairs ... Okay, maybe we can split hairs a little. That was pretty thin:

The rest of it was meh. The soup was not as flavorful as I thought it would be. For toppings a seaweed flake or two was not going to do it for me. I want something like 二郎. Look at these photos and tell me if you think there is any comparison.

You might be thinking "But it got 4 stars on yelp!" I think this means that not everyone agrees on what good ramen is, and therefore you just have to go for yourself.
