Whether you are looking to try something new, or consider yourself to be a Japanese food aficionado, Goro Ramen is guaranteed to have something for you that will leave your taste buds and tummy more than satisfied. Here are 7 edible reasons why you should try Goro Ramen in OKC’s Paseo Arts District.
Chicken Kara-age
(Ingredients: soy-marinated chicken thigh fried with potato starch / pickled cucumber / togarashi mayo)
This masterpiece of an appetizer will be sure to have you scrambling to leave a 5-star review before you even get the main course. This handcrafted dish is bursting with flavor from the melt in your mouth fried chicken bites to the finishing touches of the togarashi mayo. It’s truly hard to say that there is another chicken appetizer dish in Oklahoma City that can truly rival it.
2. Brussels Sprouts
(Ingredients: fried brussels sprouts / yuzu miso vinaigrette / beets / mint / fried shallots / pickled Fresno peppers)
For all my vegetarians out there, we didn’t forget about you! This shareable dish is a great way to start your evening out with friends. At Goro Ramen, we fry our brussels sprouts to a crunchy perfection and drizzle a tasty yuzu miso vinaigrette on top to delight your taste buds. Skipping this classic will only be disappointing when you see them being walked out to the table next to you.
3. Pork Belly Nikuman
(Ingredients: kara-age fried pork belly / plum sauce / pickled cucumbers / negi)
Light and fluffy steamed buns stuffed with only the best kara-age fried pork belly money can buy. The pork belly has to be contained within the steamed buns of the Nikuman or else it would fall apart at the slightest disturbance. Go ahead and indulge in this one of a kind eating experience from Goro Ramen and let us know what you think!
4. Tofu Nikuman
(Ingredients: fried tofu - mushroom sauce / pickles / fried shallots / negi)
Once again to my vegetarian friends, we got you covered for your main course. This Nikuman recipe creates an unforgettable eating experience due to the flexibility of working with tofu. The combination of fried tofu, mushroom sauce, pickles, fried shallot and negi is something you must truly behold in person. If this expertly crafted dish was present at the dawn of mankind, we believe there would have never been a need for wars.
5. Tori Paitan
(Ingredients: rich chicken broth / pork belly / bean sprouts / fried garlic / ajitama / negi)
One of Goro Ramen’s staple dishes is the Tori Paitan. This ramen bowl is piled filled to the brim with the heartiest chicken broth, the most tender pork belly, fresh bean sprouts, friend garlic, ajitama and negi. We challenge you to find a better ramen meal in OKC.
6. Kare Mazemen
(Ingredients: thick noodles / brothless / house-made curry sauce / chicken confit / beet pickled ginger / negi / goma)
Want to leave the broth out and dive face first into a plate of noodles? Well firstly, calm down and use the chopsticks that are provided, we would just absolutely hate for your date to see you act like the animal you are at the table. This main course gives you only the thickest noodles (yes, our noodles are two C’s thick) without the the broth and the final touching of house-made curry sauce, chicken confit, beet pickled ginger, negi and goma. Seriously, this may be the best noodle dish you can find in OKC.
7. Miso Ice Cream
(Ingredients: house made miso ice cream / blueberry compote topping)
