If you’re looking for a hidden gem of Chinese-style comfort food in Sendai, Tonton Ramen is the place to go. On my recent visit, I tried their hearty Sour and Spicy Noodles (Sūlā Tānmian), opting for the large portion. As part of the lunch set, it also came with a bowl of rice—great value for a satisfying meal.
The Appeal of Sour and Spicy Noodles
What makes Tonton Ramen’s Sour and Spicy Noodles truly special is the rich, thick soup. Packed with a variety of ingredients, the soup strikes a perfect balance between tangy sourness and spicy heat. The noodles are coated in the flavorful broth with every bite, creating an addictive combination of textures and tastes. Not only is the portion generous, but the flavors also stay exciting until the very last bite.
My Way of Enjoying It
After finishing the noodles and most of the soup, I like to make the most of the remaining broth by dipping rice into it—like a “finishing touch” reminiscent of hotpot dining. The rice absorbs the savory, spicy flavors of the soup, making for a deeply satisfying end to the meal. This time was no exception; I left the restaurant feeling both full and content.
