More infoRamen Danbo quietly solves dating's great question: what do you talk about before the food arrives? The order sheet. Fukuoka-style tonkotsu for two, and suddenly you're co-pilots debating noodle firmness, broth richness, lard level, and spice, which is character revelation disguised as dinner. There's usually a line at the door, and that's the best unplanned first-date warmup there is. Nobody will judge you for slurping.
Half the fun is the order sheet, dial in noodle firmness, broth richness, lard and spice side by side like you're co-piloting dinner, then slurp the rich Fukuoka tonkotsu loudly and without judgement. There's often a line, which is great first-date material, so factor that in and budget about an hour at the table. Cheap, cozy and reliably warming when the rain shows up; Robson's right outside to keep the date going.
