Sango Kura - Delaware Water Gap

I was very surprised to find a Japanese restaurant serving Ramen out in a small town in PA. Had to give it a try. Here's what I had: Tonkotsu Ramen and a side of kim chee.Noodles: 9/10 Was very shocked at the quality of noodles. The US has a major quality deficiency in noodles all over the country. The noodles here are exceptional. A lot of body, and just a bit of bite for texture. It's either a good supplier or the chef did a fantastic job preparing them. Or both, Japanese restaurateurs take note.Broth: 7.5/10 I can tell good work went into the broth, if you look at the pic you can see lipids rising to the top. Always a good sign of flavor. Unfortunately I couldn't taste it, it was overpowered by the toppings.Toppings: 6.5/10 Too much going on and the combination of different toppings completely masked the broth, as a result thr bowl lost it's identity as Tonkotsu Ramen. The pork itself was similar to pulled pork, a common thing that American Japanese Restaurateur's like to spin on Tonkotsu Ramen. Not my cup of tea, but the pork still tasted good.My advice is to revise the toppings and greatly increase the quality of the toppings and you'll be looking at an exceptional bowl of ramen.Besides that, this restaurant brews their own sake, which I thoroughly enjoyed! Thank you!

100% ....10 outta 10 delicious! Hard to find a vegetarian broth with flavor, but they nailed it. Sake was light and enjoyable. Staff and owners are super nice. Location is great with plenty of outdoor seating. Will absolutely go back!

After Reading some of the reviews the responses I've seen from the owners, i was definitely very hesitant to come in and try this place.I Manage restaurants my self and am aware how bad a review looks, vs. what actually happened. So I decided to give it a try!I was very pleased with the food i got, my boyfriend and i went one Wednesday and got a free appetizer with the purchase of a sake fight! We were very pleased with all the food. We both got ramen, and it was absolutely delicious. The vibe of the restaurant is very fun and different from all the restaurants in area.I would recommend it and definitely will be returning!

Sake were pretty good but food was just ok. And the food containers were weird and the atmosphere was a little bit awkward. It was nice to see retro items , but overall it was a very cluttered atmosphere. The staff were friendly though.

I have a tough time rating other ramen shops because my favorite lets you build your own bowls.Sango Kura is more authentic than that and they'll let you customize your order to suit your tastes.Don't miss out on those home brewed sake. I got to try some at a meeting of the Jersey City Brew Club. Their brewmaster brought some samples of his products and I made sure to order them when I visited.A great stop after buying fireworks just up the road!
