Ramen 369: Tonkotsu Broth from an Owner Who Trained in Japan

Ramen 369 sits on NE 2nd Avenue in downtown Delray Beach, where owner Hiro spent months training in Japan to learn how to make ramen broth the right way before opening a shop built around an open kitchen diners can watch from the bar.

Tonkotsu, Miso, and Shoyu Bowls Built to Order

The menu centers on a rich pork tonkotsu broth finished with chashu, wood ear mushrooms, bamboo shoots, scallions, and ginger, alongside pork and chicken miso and shoyu broth variations, plus a vegetable and soy milk broth with tofu, bok choy, and beansprouts for a lighter option. Diners can customize bowls with add-ons like pork belly, soft-boiled eggs, kikurage mushrooms, kimchi, and enoki mushrooms, and the kitchen also turns out takoyaki as a starter.

Homemade Noodles and an Open Kitchen

Reviewers consistently point to the homemade noodles' al dente texture and tender, juicy pork as evidence of the kitchen's attention to detail, calling the overall quality astounding. The open kitchen layout lets guests seated at the bar watch each bowl come together, and the drink list leans into the theme with Musashino beer, Ozeki sake, Ramune soda, and Calpis.
