The broth of this soup seemed to have a straightforward explanation–it is miso mixed with red chiles. Like the other ramen, Spicy Miso comes in a large serving that really takes a good appetite in order to finish (I found the ramen in Seattle to be about three-fourth the size of the one here). A few other menu choices are offered, but I believe the expectation is that most people will order ramen. I did not encounter spicy ramen in Seattle, but this is one of the choices here. There are four types of ramen on the menu, including a chilled one. I do not know the story about Goro or whether the owners have ties to Japan, but I would definitely say they do a good job with the ramen. Rather, it is a dish that is becoming so popular that anyone who can do a decent job preparing it seems to have all the business they can handle. Unlike other ethnic cuisines, ramen does not seem to be spreading through the migration of Japanese people to cities such as Oklahoma City. This was great news when I found out about the flavor treat that this offered, but it may be even better news that this type of food is now spreading throughout the United States. I became a fan of ramen when I heard from readers about the excellent ramen restaurants that I should try when I was in Seattle. However, the chef at the old Goro (at NW 16th & Blackwelder) stayed with the old restaurant when it first became Tori Tori, and now with the new concept Ma Der Lao Kitchen. The new restaurant is owned by the same group and I think the food is the same at the new location, but with an expanded menu. 2021: I am a little late on this update, but Goro Ramen has moved to 3000 Paseo and is now a ramen and Izakaya restaurant (the concept they originally wanted to do on N.W. I guess we will continue to avoid this restaurant in the future.Update Oct.

He said it wasnt normal and offered to refund the cost of the Mushroom Mazemen.It ended up not being a waste of money, just a huge waste of time. After a bit more discussion with my Fiancée we decided to call back and talk to a manager. The flavor was that of cheap store bought dry noodles.I called to ask if they forgot to include the sauce, but the lady I talked to said it was normal for it to be mostly dry.

Even tuning the bowl over with the lid on didnt reveal any liquid. We assumed there was a sauce or broth at the bottom of the bowl and left with the food.We sat down to eat and noticed the Mushroom Mazemen was almost all dry noodles and had no sauce or broth in it. When we looked in the bag while picking it up the Spicy Miso had the broth on the side, but there was no broth for the Mushroom Mazemen. We also knew they had changed locations and updated their menu, so we wanted to give it a try.I ordered the Spicy Miso, like I always do, and my Fiancée ordered the new Mushroom Mazemen ramen. But, after the prices started going up and the quality became hit and miss we more or less stopped going a couple of years ago.This evening we were downtown and decided to treat ourselves to a restaurant we hadnt been to in a while.
