Good spicy tonkotsu broth.
Average char siu and noodles.
Service needs fine tuning.
Not cheap but
worth a try if you're in the area.
Decor:
Their full name, "Noodle Room Kamitora", is from Osaka . About 12 seats facing the open kitchen and the two Japanese chefs. There is also a small table for two. It's pretty cosy.
A jar of water, sesame, ichimi (chilli powder), salt & pepper, pickled ginger & minced garlic were placed on the table. Most importantly, there was also a large box of tissue.Menu: (Japanese, English and Chinese)
It's pretty self-explanatory. They had the following types of Toras (Tigers):God of Tora: Pork bones and fresh vegetables and marine products;
Kamitora Special: Original tora with all toppings;
White Tora: God of Tora plus special Kandai Dashi (fish stock);
Black Tora: Tonkotsu with garlic oil;
Red Tora: The description reads, "super spicy ramen which is loved by ramen junkie in Osaka";
Aka Tora Special: Red Tora with all toppings.
They also had a number of side dishes such as gyoza and BBQ pork rice and fried egg rice.
You've guessed it, I've ordered the Aka tora special (with all toppings - $128)
I choose Osusume (hardness, thickness of noodles: medium or thin, sauce...etc) all chosen by the chef.
Aka Tora Special:
Looked pretty substantial.Essentially the broth tasted like a Dan Dan mien broth with pork fat. The taste was lighter than Aka O (of Buta O). The tonkotsu taste was smooth. Very good broth indeed.
I mixed the small amount of chili paste into the broth and it immediately added some kick to it. It was a mixture of vinegar, garlic and chili sauce.
The large amount of chopped negi was also good with this broth.
It wasn't that spicy. Perhaps less spicy than Aka O. Not as spicy as many "hell ramens" around town.
Char Siu:
The four large pieces of char siu were just so-so. Those had some fresh meat taste but were fairly tough. I wouldn't pay extra for this. Egg:
The egg was flavourful and was runny inside. Fans of ajitama (lit. flavoured egg) would not be disappointed.The menmas were nice and crunchy as well.
Noodles:
It didn't take me long to take all these photos (about 5-6 seconds) so I don't think it made much difference to the texture of these noodles. These were springy at first. Not super tough. It's just right for me but I know many ramen lovers may like it tougher.
However, I believe due to the quality of the noodles, it became rather soggy at the end. That wasn't too pleasant. I think the noodles at "Tatsuya" or "Nagahama No.1" faired much better.
Service:
This is where they need to pay more attention to. The seating arrangements were quite messy. The waitresses were friendly but they didn't appear to have received much training. Obviously this was more than two months ago so the service should have improved by now. I'm not going to dwell on this, just be prepared and don't get too worked up if you encounter odd service.
Conclusion:
In view of the overall quality of the food, HK$128 is definitely on the high side. However, their broth is good compared to other ramen shops in Wan Chai (for the time being).
Worth a try if you're in the area and a big fan of tonkotsu.
