When it's a business partnership, especially a restaurant, a lot of times, it fails because the partnership wasn't working out." Kim says that he and Tammy have been working together for five years and that they understand each other very well. Kim says, "In this business it's kind of hard to find people who are like-minded. Miyagi Ramen Bar plans to open its doors the second week of July in the Safeway Shopping Center on Route 1 at the former Saladworks location.Ĭo-owner Jeong Hoon Kim formerly managed Saketumi in Rehoboth, and while there he developed an excellent relationship with his business partner Tammy Wang, the owner of Saketumi, so much so that the two decided to open a restaurant together. It can also be busy at the weekends, so there might be a small wait.It took a while, but slower lower Delaware is finally catching up on the ramen craze.
The only negative about this store is that if you don't know any Japanese, then you might struggle to order. They were perfectly cooked – golden and crisp with a juicy filling. At Menkui they cost 360 yen for 6, which is a decent price for gyoza, and these were delicious. On a separate occasion I ordered just gyoza, which isn't always an option in ramen stores. It really was a small bowl, but you don't need any more with a bowl of ramen. The meat in the rice bowl was similar, and similarly the fat wasn't removed, which really added to the flavor. The slice of meat was so tender it did feel like it was melting in my mouth.
The flavor was so concentrated it was almost too strong, but eaten with the noodles it was a real treat. However, this ramen was a wonderful surprise, worth all of its 790 yen. Having been disappointed with the Japanese approach to garlic bread, I didn't put my hopes up too high. I also ordered one of the small rice bowls, which are a reduced price at lunch time if you order ramen. I'd never had garlic ramen before, so I decided to try it. Extra meat or an egg can be ordered to go with your ramen you can also pay a bit extra for a larger bowl of ramen.

The drinks menu is brief – lemonade, beer or juice, and free water, like most places. There are five types of ramen: Shio (salt-based), made with Galapagos salt Miso, sourced from Hokkaido, Niigata and Sendai Chuuka Soba (original 'Chinese-style' ramen) Ma-yu (garlic-soy sauce base) and Tantan Men, made with Sichuan chili oil (and therefore spicy!). The staff are friendly, and there's always upbeat pop music playing quietly in the background. They have a display of autographs from local sports celebrities on one wall, and the wooden furniture lends a warm feel to the small building. There is a 'counter area', but it's actually a table, with normal chairs, so you don't have to coordinate your balance as well as your chopsticks. The atmosphere here is a bit different to most ramen places I've been to, where customers quickly inhale their noodles and leave. Have a look, as it's only a ten-minute walk from Rikuen-Ochiai station, on the Senzan line.
Menkui literally it means ''noodle eat (place),' so you know it's good if they can attract customers with such a simple name. Menkui is the latter, and it beats the chain stores hands down. There are both chain stores and smaller, independent ones here. Ochiai isn't a tourist destination by any means, but all of the locals know that it's the place to come for great ramen.
