I ordered Tonkotsu Ramen. It’s been a while since I had the broth. It has a distinct and rich flavor. The broth is very thick, clean, and has a nice finish. The noodles are thin. They go well with the rich Tonkotsu broth. Since the noodles are thin, they have a pleasant snap when you bite into them. The texture is good. The egg is really sweet when you take a bite, almost like eating candy. Some people might like it, while others might not. The chashu pork is thick too. It doesn’t have any off-putting smell and pairs well with the broth. If you add extra chashu, you’ll get 5 slices. If you like it, you can add more. The broth is not heavy no matter how much you think about it, which is nice. The oxtail is really tender. You can chew and swallow it easily.
It seems like a couple runs the place. Both of them are very kind. Their positive energy is nice. The service was also excellent. It’s a small alley near Hwagok Station. Hwagok is a quiet neighborhood, so you can focus on the taste of the ramen in a calm atmosphere. Ramen enthusiasts shouldn’t miss it. ‘Nikoniko’ means ‘cheerful’ in Japanese. You can understand it as ‘cheerful ramen.’ You pay at the kiosk outside and then come in and sit. The interior isn’t very spacious, so during lunchtime, you might have to be prepared for a little wait.
