I have heard that tables are hard to get during lunch hour, but in my own experience there was not any problem.Ī pot of green tea was six dollars (half the price of the miso), and I only ordered it because I was sharing with a friend. I went at a very off time (about 3:00 pm), and even at this time it was very busy. The restaurant appears to do only one thing, and that is ramen.

There were only four types of ramen served, and somehow the cold one did not seem very appealing (although it may surprise me the same way the miso ramen did). I would make special note of the meatballs, which were quite flavorful. A very good broth was enhanced by a number of other ingredients (many of which can be seen in the photo). The result was a spicy and flavorful soup, although it was not as spicy as the typical Korean (kimchee) or Thai red chile dishes I have tried. The broth of this soup seemed to have a straightforward explanation–it is miso mixed with red chiles.

Like the other ramen, Spicy Miso comes in a large serving that really takes a good appetite in order to finish (I found the ramen in Seattle to be about three-fourth the size of the one here). A few other menu choices are offered, but I believe the expectation is that most people will order ramen. I did not encounter spicy ramen in Seattle, but this is one of the choices here. There are four types of ramen on the menu, including a chilled one. I do not know the story about Goro or whether the owners have ties to Japan, but I would definitely say they do a good job with the ramen. Rather, it is a dish that is becoming so popular that anyone who can do a decent job preparing it seems to have all the business they can handle. Unlike other ethnic cuisines, ramen does not seem to be spreading through the migration of Japanese people to cities such as Oklahoma City. This was great news when I found out about the flavor treat that this offered, but it may be even better news that this type of food is now spreading throughout the United States. I became a fan of ramen when I heard from readers about the excellent ramen restaurants that I should try when I was in Seattle.

However, the chef at the old Goro (at NW 16th & Blackwelder) stayed with the old restaurant when it first became Tori Tori, and now with the new concept Ma Der Lao Kitchen. The new restaurant is owned by the same group and I think the food is the same at the new location, but with an expanded menu. 2021: I am a little late on this update, but Goro Ramen has moved to 3000 Paseo and is now a ramen and Izakaya restaurant (the concept they originally wanted to do on N.W. And we think you need to go, too.Update Oct. So, it doesn't get better than that, folks, with good service, to deliver Shout wipes to the poor girl who is kind of messy at every meal. He even brought me a Shout wipe because the broth splattered on my shirt, and he saw me on the struggle bus. Lauren : So, we're big fans, and we're totally going back.Īnd we really like Eric.

Lauren : Like a puree? Like a blueberry puree? And then a blueberry, I don't know, snow cone type thing on the bottom. And I got the spicy miso ramen, and it was delish, with meatballs. Sophie got the kid's ramen, which we discovered is the same size as adult ramen. So, we went to the very popular Goro Ramen in Paseo.
