65. Chashu Ramen from Sushi Ken

You can get ramen with a mountain of different toppings nowadays -- some traditional, others off the wall. Sushi Ken in Ahwatukee follows the K.I.S.S. method of ramen preparation with their bowl of chashu ramen.
Just about $8, this bowl features tender chashu-style pork, tender ramen noodles, scallions, and a soy-based broth-- that's it. Nothing fancy. Just a simple soup for simple soup lovers. We think this stripped-down serving really showcases Sushi Ken's ability to do a lot with a little, despite not having a laundry list of vogue ingredients.
While the soup itself might not be much, it also comes with a complimentary side of edamame and three complimentary California rolls. For under $10, you're sure to get your fill of ramen, sushi, and edamame, all in one go, and that, friends, is a pretty impressive thing.
