SEO Japanese Restaurant

At 11pm each night, SEO turns into Ramen Sanshiro, a sort-of-secret late-night ramen place. Featuring only three different types of ramen (shio, shoyu, tsukemen) and a few appetizers/beers/sake, this is a very casual place to conquer your late-night cravings. Service is attentive, but not exactly warm. The other customers tend to be rowdy Japanese businessmen and regulars. Ramen shops in Japan are rarely fancy sit-down places, as ramen is meant to be fast food, so this shop is a pretty good representation of the ones in Japan.

Ok this place has literally changed my food life. I've never been too terribly interested in Japanese food, but after having soba here for the first time in my life, I am at a new level of OBSESSED. I've now had soba once a week to make up for 24 years of lost soba eating time and it's all thanks to Seo. The night before coming here, I had ramen for dinner, which I always feel meh about, so I wasn't too excited about going to another Japanese noodle place. Oh past Tam, so ignorant. Anyways, I decide to order the Kamonan Soba which comes with slices of duck and leek. Ahhhh I don't know what kind of flavor explosion was happening in my mouth but it was like the perfect blend of salty, sour, and umami. Something about those soba noodles, man. So gooooood.
