My go-to, mid-priced pick for ramen noodles when pad Thai is coming out of my ears is Chabuton, a Japanese oiishi export brought in by chef Yasuji Morizumi. If you must know, Morizumi was crowned the ramen champion on Japan’s famous variety show, TV Champion, in 2002.
Please also know that in 2010, Morizumi's restaurant, “Mist” in Hong Kong was awarded a michelin star. And now, you can find many of his famed signature ramen bowls in Chabuton noodle houses dotted across Bangkok, in places like Terminal 21, Siam Paragon and many Central malls.
The tonkatsu ramen is their original hit: you’ll be served a bowl of noodles in concentrated pork-bone soup that’s been put on the burner for more than 15 hours, topped with Japanese onions and layered over with slices of yummy grilled pork.
For those looking for a very good deal (me putting up my hand as I am typing this), you can get a very nice set meal at Chabuton's for 299 baht or less.
From what I read online, Chabuton’s competitors are Bankara Ramen and Ramentei. But stranger than fiction, I don’t seem to see them anywhere?
