Daikaya - Ramen @ DC

I missed the pop-up event but finally had a chance to grab a quick lunch at the newly opened Daikaya.  

Daikaya

Daikaya right next to Graffiato, both are very good restaurants.

 Straight up noodle bar design on the lower level, be ready to squeeze.

Gyoza 

I liked the gyoza, they are bigger than the ones from Ren's.

Mugi-miso Ramen

I ordered the mugi-miso ramen and added soft boiled eggs to it since it didn't come with.  Overall, I thought it was pretty good.  The noodles have a good texture and the broth was very flavorful.  The only thing I thought it was off about Daikaya's ramen is their eggs.  For some reason, my eggs are too sweet in the yolk and they are usually salty in ramen.  But other than that, I like Daikaya ramen, and the fact that it's walking distance to my work makes it an ideal lunch place for me.  

Vegetable Shio Ramen

My buddy ordered the vegetable shio ramen and added eggs and pork belly to it.  The vegetable shio is the vegan option on the menu, so the broth is slightly lighter, but yet still very good.  Other than the fact that it doesn't come with meat, I think it has good flavors and good for people who likes a less heavy broth.
