Midnight Ramen - New Haven

Last night I visited a Japanese restaurant in New Haven, and I was really impressed! The offerings were excellent. As a Japanese person, I found the taste of the 10-piece broth soup to be amazing! I inquired if a Japanese chef was cooking, but it turns out that's not the case. It was surprising to see a non-Japanese chef working hard to create authentic Japanese flavors; it truly satisfied me as a native Japanese. My family and I were all very pleased with our experience. If you're looking for genuine Japanese cuisine, this is the place to go!

Here is the bomb. the ten-hour broth is the most amazing thing of the world. All that is connected to means of life is fantastic. they don't come here to customer service. that is the best, they take their order, then they bring her to eat, and they bring the bill. they will never see them again. I think his great, just go out with your friend and never be harassed again.

I watch a LOT of food shows on TV. I think it has to do with constantly trying to keep my inner fat guy at bay. Like...I 'll watch, and look, and yearn....but never touch! And there 's a handful of dishes and styles of food that I 've seen multiple times and added to my bucket list of things to try. Right near the top there would be fancy Ramen Noodles. I mean, just seeing people eat these HUGE bowls of Ramen with all kinds of goodness made my mouth insta-water. So when out of the blue my son says to me Dad, we just ate at this AMAZING Ramen place in New Haven and you HAVE to try it , that inner fat guy began to tremble. We ended up at Midnight Ramen less than a week later and it couldn 't have come soon enough. The place is pretty unassuming from the outside and apparently was/is also a Sushi place? I don 't know, a bit confusing but yes...my body was ready for this. The inside of the place was cozy and very comfortable and causal. Atmosphere-wise, I was instantly in love. We were seated right away and offered water and menus. In the cases when my son has eaten somewhere first, I 'll almost always go with his recommendation from the menu. In this case, that would be the spicy Miso ramen bowl with pork belly....(shudder). I also decided to check out the KFC Bao appetizer that seemed to be nothing short of magical from what I read. The apps came out quickly, and let me just tell you this: That KFC Bao was one of the most amazing things to ever dance on my tongue. And trust me when I tell you, my tongue has been around the block once or twice. Just amazing. The food came out quickly and the timing was perfect. I had order my ramen super spicy if possible , and it came out accompanied by a small little bowl of what looked like liquid chili fire. The waiter had only 2 words for me, be careful . So here 's the thing, when something is spicy/hot, that can cover a wide range of flavor profiles. I mean, there 's like straight chili pepper hot, smoky hot, sweet hot, etc. It 's a spectrum. The best way I can describe the paste they gave me is by saying all of the above . It was hot, REALLY hot, but it wasn 't just raw heat. There was a TON of flavors going on there. Just really unique and amazing and highly recommended. And oh, yeah...the Ramen...also, amazing. As good and better than I had always hoped and instantly moved to the 5 of my ethnic food loves. Our first time there was about a month ago, and we 've been back 3 times since. Never a hitch in food or service or any aspect of this place. 6 stars if I could.

I enjoyed this restaurant, more even than the acclaimed Mecha noodle bar, which I found to be more expensive but not with better-tasting ramen. My palate is not that of a refined connoisseur; I am but a college student from Iowa. But for my money, midnight ramen was delicious and a great first ramen experience for me.

Delicious flavors, a lovely atmosphere, and affordable prices. Highly recommended!
