The first branch of Yamagoya Ramen at Solaris Ramen is quite a popular spot and if you go there on a weekend night, you might find yourself waiting a while for a table. We visited quite late on a rainy night and they had a table outside for us. Perfect. The staff at Yamagoya are all quite friendly and seems to know their menu items well. We took their recommendation and ordered the signature Mukashi Ramen (RM24+) with comes with charshu, ajitsuke tamago (marinated egg), seaweed, spring onions &
When this arrived on the table the aroma instantly hit our noses. On first look it was quite impressive. The broth was murky and creamy, hallmark of a good tonkotsu broth. Unfortunately it was lacking a little bit in terms of flavour so that was a little bit of a let down. The noodles were the thinner kind, like Hakata style ramen, but here it was a little too soft for my liking. The charshu (2 slices) had a good ratio of meat and fat, and tender enough, but was lacking the wow factor somehow. I liked the egg though, as the egg yolk was slightly runny with good flavour from the mirin and soy sauce.
We also ordered some fried chicken (Chicken Karaage) which came with a wedge of lemon to cut through the greasiness. They were pretty tasty and sufficiently crisp. I probably wouldn't come back here again given there are a few better places for ramen, but it's still a good place if you are craving ramen and happen to be near the area.
