Nagomi Izakaya, Family-Owned Izakaya In The Former TakeEatEasy Space


Recommended Posts

First, let me point out that I'm not a connoisseur of Japanese cuisine, so hopefully someone that is will jump on this and give you a better overall opinion of this place.

Personally, I'm just happy that in the space of a few weeks, south Dupont opened two spots with ramen in a few blocks of each other...this place, and Oki Ramen down the street, which I haven't tried yet.

As you can see there's lots more than ramen at Nagomi.

So look at this as a very quick, and totally incomplete, preview.

I had a very solid bowl of shoyu ramen...the other choices were, um...well, I'd tell you if the menus weren't so damn slow to load. Hopefully they'll work on that.

Anyway, it was a very traditional bowl...noodles, soft boiled egg, sliced pork and some veggies. The noodles didn't quite have enough of a chew for my taste, but the broth was excellent, and I'd go back again to try the other varieties. Which are...come on...getting there....aha, shio and tonkotsu.

So please, if you're an izakaya fan, go on by and fill in all my blanks...this has been a pretty cursed location, so hopefully this place can change that.

Hopefully they finally broke the locality curse, as it was when we visited for lunch.  If my experience is typical (and it's 4.5 star Yelp rating suggest it is) It's well worth adding to the lunch rotations for anyone who works nearby.

The service was encouragingly prompt and friendly for lunch service.

Overall I was happy with the meal.  The ramens were quite good (IMHO not as good as Daikaya, but nice noodles/broth/toppings).  The raw salmon was fresh and high quality.  The mixed fried plate was decent but not as good as the others - all well prepared, but just lacked a certain oomph that really good tonkatsu or really good kara-age (I think Izakaya Seki has the best version locally).
