Ramen never disappoints on a cold day

Ramen+never+disappoints+on+a+cold+day

My favorite place to go eat at is Tajima, and it is popular here in San Diego with seven locations around San Diego.

My favorite one to go to is in College Heights. It’s usually packed because of how good it is but if we get lucky then we get to eat in peace. I like going to eat there because every time I go, I’m with my family. I always have a great time with my family when we go out to eat ramen. Ramen always hits the spot, especially when it’s a gloomy day because it’s cool out and ramen warms you up.

Tajima has the most delicious ramen and my favorite, Tajima fries. They are so good, and the sauce and chicken go so well together. I always make sure to try something new every time I go and it never disappoints. Their broth is always so rich and creamy which makes it so much better. It also has so much flavor and on top of that, you can add whatever toppings you want. I find ramen to be my comfort food because It’s the perfect dish to enjoy when I want to feel relaxed or just feel the need to unwind, and feel comforted by a warm meal. The warm broth, the tender noodles, and the delicious toppings create a sense of coziness to me.

Ramen is definitely a meal I can eat everyday without getting tired of it just because there’s so many different flavors and toppings to try. I especially like it when it’s extra spicy because it makes it more exciting and enjoyable. Most of my food has to be spicy in order for me to eat it or else it just won’t hit the spot. My favorite thing about ramen is that you can customize it with your own favorite ingredients. So if you get a chance, check out Tajima.
