Umaya (Cerritos, CA) Tonkotsu Ramen with Spicy Ground Pork!

Today we stopped at Umaya in Cerritos, CA right across from Cerritos Mall at South St. and the 91 Freeway.  Apparently they have Happy Hour all day so I'll have to come back for that at some point.  Lots of variety on their menu including burgers and Galbi Tostadas?!

First: Gyoza (with two sauces), Salad, and a Rice bowl

Umaya Tonkotsu Ramen with Spicy Ground Pork:  The toppings were cold (even the pork and eggs) so I had to dunk them to warm them up.  Once warm, the eggs were tasty and the yolks nice and creamy.  The menma added some salt, the narutomaki was ok, but the generous helping of negi and ground pork added a lot of flavor to the broth.  The noodles were springy and delicious and the broth itself was smooth and flavorful.  Personally I would have preferred more but after finishing off the bowl I was plenty full.

 Standard Miso Ramen:  Heavy Miso flavor, actually slightly better diluted with a cup of hot water.  Again the egg, negi, and menma added good flavor and salt.

 Thanks Umaya for a great bowl of ramen.  We'll definitely be back!!
