I've been going to Ramen Jo since it first opened. It's my favorite ramen place in Causeway Bay. It's always my first ramen of the year when it's cold enough for ramen before I go on my marathon ramen craze. Can't help it. Gotta start with my favorite and go on from there. I often recommend my friends and coworkers to eat here. I love this place that much. And recently, Michelin gave it a bib. Those French guys must have loved it, too!So, the weather finally got chilly enough for me to crave ram
So, the weather finally got chilly enough for me to crave ramen and Ramen Jo I went!
The place is a small shop. Cramped seating around a bar where the chef makes the noodles and serves it to you. It's your typical ramen restaurant where you get a slip of paper (in Chinese but you can ask for an English one) with what soup you want, how you want your noodles and any other additions. And then you are given your noodles where you worship this bowl of steaming goodness like the movie Tampopo.
I noticed the addition of gyzoa on the menu. That was different. But I only wanted ramen so I ordered a tonkatsu ramen, no spring onions (because I don't like spring onions) ($75) and a Japanese egg ($15).
When my noodles came, I noticed that the char siu appeared smaller in size. It was still rectangular shaped. It was also a lot more fatty than my previous visits. Soup was still strong and rich.

Ramen was still good but it was once excellent. Quality has decreased from my visit last year. I wonder if it's due to the fact the owner is more focused on expanding (as I saw a Ramen Jo soon to open in Elements)? I noticed the Japanese people no longer worked here. Where did they go? I'll still return as I still love this place. It's just that it's not as good as it was before.
