Ramen Matsu - Closter

11 22 23I'm always on the hunt for good ramen. So when google suggested this, I saved it for a cold day, LOL. And yesterday was cold!What I didn't expect was how small this place is. Just 2 small tables for 3 4 people and several stools at the bar where you can watch the chefs work. Hubby said it reminds him of the restaurant stalls in Japan.We got lucky, the stools were full, and the guys who walked in before us took a table. We got the other table right by the door, brrrrrr. Every time someone came in, a chill came with them. But I want ramen, and I will keep my coat on and wait! ? ?There is a tablet to put yourself on the wait list if the restaurant is full. There is another tablet to place your order. Felt a little rushed as people lined up behind me... I didn't get the chance to see the signs on the wall explaining the different broth, and hubby was holding the table so he didn't get to see the menu. So I had to blindly order, using only my love of ramen ? :Original Shoyu with Braised Pork Chashu Shitaki Mushrooms this was so good ? and the pork was so soft, and it is a good thickness.Chashu Don Set Wafu Shio with Sous Vide Pork Red Spicy Sauce and Spicy Chashu Don hubby isn't a ramen fan like me, so when i saw this set, I canceled the original order. This way, if he didn't like the ramen, he still had a rice bowl. hehehe. But he ended up loving the ramen, especially the spiciness, and he loved the bowl. The Wafu Shio broth was amazing! ?? OMG, I can just drown myself in it. I was jealous that I ordered it for him ? Well it just means we have to go back!!! However, we didn't like the sous vide pork... it wasn't as tender... now, if we can pair the Wafu Shio broth with the Braised Pork Chashu, then that is a winning combination!!!The 2 gentlemen chefs were cordial but not much conversation as they prepared our meals.

Classic small Ramen shop. A local go-to restaurant and you won't be disappointed. Will do it again and

My friend and I split a Shoyu ramen and braised pork chashu don after our church service and its was great, ramen broth tasted clean and noodles were a nice degree of chewy. The chashu don had meat that melted in your mouth with rice that was very flavorful. Portions are about medium size and seating inside is limited, only reason I gave it four instead of five stars was the price. It is a little expensive for what it is but not that much compared to other ramen places

The food is consistently delicious, we always come here as a family to eat ramen. Best ramen I ever tasted!

Really good ramen, love the ordering kiosk at the entrance and the quick no fuss meal. The level of authenticity made me feel like I was in Japan again.
