CLINICAL VIBES
Ramen being my religion, I'll take one for the team in most cases. I'll literally try visit every ramen shop in any town I'm in so that I can tell my friends where to go when they have limited time. Doing so I walked the 6 blocks to try this raved about ramen restaurant on Sukhumvit.
The interiors gave me the creeps. Too many posh folk. I chose a seat at the counter so I had less visible humans in line. I ordered their Shio Special which didn't come with an egg, 40 Baht extra on top of an already extremely expensive bowl of soup. I waited.
Look, it wasn't bad. But it just felt antiseptic. Clinical. The kind of food that is perhaps cooked to perfect temperatures but not given any love or attention.
I ate it, I sighed. I paid, I left. I'll never return.
It is what it is. Let the rich eat here, I'll go to Bankara or Wakyu.
