A good ramen shop is judged first on its broth, which should be rich and well balanced, and on noodles that keep their bite. Build-your-own bowls suit people who want to choose their toppings, from greens to proteins. Ramen is best eaten soon after it is served, while the noodles are still firm. When choosing a ramen shop, notice whether the staff explain the broth and toppings clearly.
For a bowl built to your own taste in Napier South, it is a ramen shop worth a visit on Emerson Street.
