That fatty piece of pork brings tears to my eyes... that's no chashu, and indeed looks to rival the fatty pork belly found at <a href="http://www.foodhoe.com/?p=292" rel="nofollow">Santa Ramen</a> in San Mateo.

I love the French Restaurant Scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcMaZLiqVpI The only problem is the horrible ramen craving it induces. You need to be within striking distance of a fine bowl of ramen when you watch it. Tampopo is such a great movie.

I need to check it out. No, the one I was talking about was right next to Curry House and Nijiya Supermarket between Fullerton and Azusa on Colima (behind a Carl's Jr.).

Liat, I've heard of some inconsistencies in the Santoka franchise, so I'm also thankful that Costa Mesa isn't an outlier case. Thank the maker for great chain restaurants. Julie, Follow your tongue! shavedice,

Julie,

I can't stand a good bowl of noodles that is lacking in...noodles. Gonna get some Ramen myself at Foo Foo Tei this weekend, but good Ramen in my area is sorely lacking. The only other place I really liked on Colima closed down recently. I'll have to keep this place in mind if I venture down into that area. I know!

It is probably the best ramen I have ever tasted. The only thing that might be comparable is the Stewed Pork of Santa Ramen in San Mateo, which apparently makes people wait in line a half an hour before opening so that you can get the Stewed Pork before it runs out. I am glad to find out that you can get this ramen elsewhere. I had the pleasure of trying this Ramen in Mitsuwa on Hokkaido Days Festival in San Jose a month ago.
