Menya Itto

I heard this place has the best tsukemen in Bangkok and being a fan of it, I had to visit and try it myself. Visited during lunchtime and it was surprisingly quiet. There were not many diners and was able to get a table with ease. And a look at the menu and struggled very long deciding whether to stick to the Tsukemen Special or take the Lobster Tsukemen. Although the lobster was so tempting but ended up eating the special because of the price. Also ordered a plate of gyozas and added an egg as the egg didn't come with the tsukemen. First the gyozas arrived. I would say it was average. The gyoza was well fried and the skin was thin but it was kinda too oily for me. Then came the tsukemen special. I would say overall mixed feelings eating it. I loved the soup, the flavours were deep and rich. The thing I didn't like about the tsukemen was probably the thickness of it and also most of the cold cut meats, especially the chicken breast which I felt was a little out of place. The soup also came with 2 of these meatballs which also didn't really appeal to me in terms of the texture. I would have been easily satisfied with the soup, thinner noodles and the egg. The portion was not bad though was feeling very full after the meal but not feeling very contented with it. Maybe the taste and texture is very subjective to individual and might appeal to the majority. I still say to tsukemen fans to visit and judge it for yourselves.
