Gen Ramen - Metro Durham/Chapel Hill

It wasn’t a busy Sunday night. Friendly staff and they were on top of things. The Tonkotsu ramen was exceptional, and I added chili oil which was nice. The katsu bowl had an cinnamon forward flavor, which was a bit strange, so it’s a 6/10. The Chasiu bowl was good (7/10). The poke bowl is described as “something you would get at a mall food court.” The fries were great as well.

I had the vegan lemongrass ramen as takeout today, and it was sooo good that I wish I had bought two! I'll definitely be back because it can be hard to find a good non-meat ramen dish.

I ordered the Spicy Lime Beef Ramen, and they balanced it really well! Our server was very nice and patient with us, and accommodated our younger child. As an autistic person with sensory issues, the quieter yet soft atmosphere was a lot easier on me than other restaurants. As someone with an eating disorder, it was also nice not to have calories on the menu.

The services and the food was great. It's been while since my last visit. I will be back.

#1 Bestseller Tonkotsu Ramen is delicious and recommended for very tasty reasons. Nice service and enjoyable atmosphere with patio area.
