Orenchi Ramen

I haven't been to Orenchi for quite some time. It's still as good as ever.

Orenchi is located at 3540 Homestead Road in Santa Clara. It opens at 11:30 am. Get there by 11 am to put your name in.

Orenchi Salad--$9.30 for large. Romaine lettuce, mizuna, red cabbage, baby corn and mushrooms. You have your choice of boiled pork or tofu. This was enough for 3 people to share a small portion. I thought there was too much dressing but otherwise, it is tasty.

Karaage--$8.50 for 6 pieces. Kind of expensive for 6 small pieces of boneless chicken but this is amazing. The chicken is tender and juicy and the skin is crispy. There isn't a hint of grease. Love it!

Orenchi Ramen--$13.80 for regular. Add $2.50 for the large (I estimated it is 25% larger). Ramen in tonkatsu base, topped with soft boiled egg, pork, green onion, bamboo shoot, mushrooms, sesame and nori seaweed. It was a tad salty but I still love it. The noodles are toothy and perfect. The broth is rich and the egg is perfectly soft on the inside. Still my favorite ramen!
