✍🏻 ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆〘6/10〙

💬 The dipping broth was a mixture of pork and fish; packed full of umami-ness. It was not overly concentrated or salty, hence I could drink the leftovers up without adding any dashi soup. However, I felt that it was on the oilier side and had this grainy mouthfeel to it (not a huge fan). The noodles were amazing though, so thick and chewy- the best kind to slurp up with. There was also a single slice of chashu on top which looked rather pitiful but it tasted pretty good with a nice meat-to-fat ratio. The egg ($2) looked and tasted so similar to 711's ready-to-eat Hanjuku eggs that I was pretty convinced that they either had their recipe or receipt. Honestly, I had higher expectations for the famous Tetsu from Japan but seeing how it was opened in a food court, the standard matches. Here's hoping Tetsu can open a full-fledged restaurant here!
