Tried the wonton noodles at a new ramen place nearby. Apparently it's their signature dish. Compared to the Chinese original, Japanese wantanmen are really plainly seasoned and there's not really any filling in the wontons to speak of. The wonton skins in the broth have a great silky texture, and I like this shop's chewy noodles, but wantanmen always leaves me yearning for real Hong Kong style wonton noodles, with charsiu pork and flavorful broth.
