Daikoku Ramen

You'll find yourself down at The Docks heading into Daikoku, and it's immediately clear this isn't some tokenistic noodle bar. The kitchen takes its craft seriously — we're talking about broths that have had proper time invested in them, not shortcuts. Order the tonkotsu and you'll taste the difference: deep, porky, complex. The noodles have the right chew, the toppings are considered, and the whole thing comes together without any faffing about. It's the sort of place where locals keep coming back because it's genuinely good, not because it's fashionable. You're eating proper Japanese cooking in a straightforward setting, which is exactly how it should be.
