My wife and I will have been married for 17 years this summer, and while we don’t agree on everything, we do share the same favorite restaurant. It’s nearly *4 hours* from where we live, but we are happy to take the trip a few times a year.
The focus of the restaurant is Japanese BBQ; they have a grill in the middle of your table, and you can order vegetables and raw meat and cook it yourself. They even have all you can eat deals. I’ve done that once. But I’m here for the ramen. Spicy Beef, pictured. Or Tonkotsu. I change it up. Actually today, I ordered both — getting the tonkotsu to go. Gonna have that when we get home.
Gyu-Kaku is based in Japan, founded in Tokyo in 1996. They say they have 700 locations worldwide. They do have a lot of them. Sadly we do have to drive 4 hours to visit, but hopefully they open more close to us, or inspire more local Asian places to step up their game. The ramen market where we live is virtually nonexistent. Even if I learn to make it myself, I will still happily visit Gyu-Kaku and spend the money on theirs.
