Yama-Arashi

You get here and you’re torn. Since it shares the same lot as the Yajima-​ya Udon truck you must decide… ramen or udon?!
Once you decide you must make another decision… which type of ramen are you gonna get? They are all shoyu based but they have char siu ramen, the special bowl… or maybe you should just stick to the plain version. While you’re at it they have fried rice and Gyoza to pair up with.
I went with the special bowl. The toppings included char siu, egg, sweet corn and menma. I think it was good but not spectacular. The broth tasted like it was too salty so they counter balanced it with sugar. My friend enjoyed the broth so maybe I’m just particular. The Gyoza however, was magical and I enjoyed them so much. Homemade, perfectly pan fried on the bottom for the crunch and steamed on the top for the chewiness.
I recommend trying to get here early since there are only 3 parking stalls. But at least there’s a shaded area for dining and relaxing.

I’m sold on this place. Great tasting ramen and gyoza, friendly chef/​owner.
The ramen bowl ($ 7.50) comes with noodles, bean sprouts, green onions, bamboo shoots, seaweed, and two thin slices of char siu. It’s enough to satisfy. For $ 1.50 more you get half a boiled egg, corn, and a piece of nori.
The gyoza is definitely worth ordering, and the best way to enjoy them is to pour the gyoza sauce over the gyoza. Let the gyoza soak up the sauce and you’ll be in heaven when you take a bite.
Open from 10 – 3 pm Mon-​Sat.
(at night they re-​open somewhere nearby — I think in front of Butterfly Lounge)
