Maneki Ramen Birmingham

You're walking down Ludgate Hill towards the Bullring and you spot the neon glow. Inside, it's all blonde wood and open kitchen theatre—you can watch the chefs working the pass, steam rising off massive pots. The room hums with the kind of energy that comes from genuinely good food done right. Order the tonkotsu if you're not sure; the broth is deep and porky, built over what you know has been a proper shift in the kitchen. Sides of gyoza arrive crispy-bottomed, and at these prices, you're getting serious value for something this well-executed.
