The signature dish at Kouya features a mild tonkotsu broth that defines their Iekei ramen. Striking a perfect balance without being too rich or heavy, the broth has garnered wide support. The medium-thick straight noodles pair excellently with the broth, offering just the right amount of chew and a delightful wheat flavor.
The char siu is tender and juicy, enhancing the broth's flavor. Fresh vegetable toppings, such as green onions and spinach, are also abundant. Highly recommended is the nori seaweed topping, which blends with the broth to create a rich and flavorful bowl.
You can customize the hardness of the noodles and the amount of oil to your preference. First-time visitors may want to ask the staff for recommendations.
