Heh. I forgot you're in Riverside, potato-guy. I was thinkin' "How in the hell does he know about Todai??" Yeah, I've been to a number of them and they're pretty good, though the sushi is only average...

You've gotta swing over to the South Bay: with such a large contingent of Japanese living here (Gardena and Torrance), there's lotsa good Japanese eats to be found... :D

Anyone here lurves ramen? Favourite? What more can you tell us about ramen? Truthfully, was it invented by the Chinese or Japanese? -_-;;

Ramen is essential to all fanboys. Specially during anime conventions or having drama/anime marathons. :D

I've been there before the sushi's are TERRIBLE. The sashimi's are too dry and most of the foods are way too westernized. :rolleyes: Never going back there again.

on a side note.. i've never had miso soup...but it sounds really good!
what's that thing that they make in 'otousan' "life with dad"? .. the long stringy thing... soba? :crazy:

It is very delicious..miso shiro is a mild one and very low in salt..basically is made out of a fish stock called "dashi". Now, I'm hungry and it made me want to go to the nearest supermarket and cook at home :P [/i]

I have yet to have good ramen since coming back to the States *grumble*

I traveled all the way down to San Diego to eat at Todai. I dont think there is one in Riverside. Not too many asians in Riverside compaired to other cities now that I think about it.

It wasn't that bad. I mean obviously if you want authentic Japanese food the only place to go is Japan. I think Todai has the next best thing closest to home. It wasn't just the food either. The Todai I went to knew how to pick their waitreses :love_eyes: huba huba :hehe:


btw isn't Todai a prestigious University in Japan? If so why would you name a resturant after that.

I am... slightly disturbed at the thought if instant food, no matter where it comes from. Blame it on my genetical heritage which had a lot of good cooks, but well... I prefer it fresh and self-made... *goes to cook*

miso soup........ *drools*

thanks for making me hungry *really goes off to cook now!*

Ramen with slices of kimchee and ham does the trick for me. :drooling:

hmm... I've always got a special liking for Kyushu Ramen... =P

yeah
kyushu is famous for their ramen ne..
wanna try that 1 day
^^

Ramen with taro, an egg, and lots of seaweed = yummy :mrgreen: (but I gotta watch my weight coz the meat is really fatty... :beaten: )

Only had "ramen" :P Never had any special ramen, local specials! Nagasaki and Osaka ramen look delicious :drooling:

Since nobody mentioned it, I like to put a raw egg in my ramen right after cooking it. That's good stuff!!! :)

Anyone ever get the chance to come down to Hawaii, I can recommend a GREAT ramen establishment. "Gomaichi" is the name of the restaraunt and it's about a block away from Ala Moana shopping center on Keeaumoku St. Their tan-tan men is great. But I prefer the cold chicken noodle. ƒƒ`ƒƒ‚¨‚¢‚µ‚¢‚ŁI!! (killers!)

i love ramen.. that's about a staple in my meals...!!

yups todai is short for tokyo daigaku.. it's about the university everyone hopes to get in..
