If they do, they need to serve it immediately so it doesn’t get soggy like cereal that has been marinating in milk.

I’m sorry to have exacerbated your starving state, but I hope you find something tasty at the store :) Thanks again for the visit.

I envy the restaurant choices you have and I’ll have to remind myself not to read your blog before I eat lunch. I’m now starving and there’s nothing interesting in the fridge to eat so I’m off to the store but wishing I was dining with you. :)

I was going to order it on the side, but I was interested to see how it turned out without my saying anything at all. Really, I did it just as test to see how carefully they would arrange the bowl. I’ve had tempura ramen before where the bowl was arranged well enough so that this wasn’t too much of an issue, even with the tempura in the bowl and not on the side. Unfortunately, Genki didn’t pay too much attention to the bowl-arrangement part. (Soggy fried shrimp would also be even less of a problem if the batter on this tempura weren’t too thick, as well.)

Your comment made me realize that my original wording in this post was a bit unclear, so I’ve reworded that section to be a bit clearer.

That being said, tempura ramen is not my favorite thing to order anyway. I ended up getting it this time mostly because I was with a somewhat unadventurous friend.

When ordering tempura ramen, ask for the tempura on the side. A number of places serve it this way by default. That way you won’t end up with soggy fried shrimp.
