FIREBIRD PAITAN
Totto Ramen Hell's Kitchen, New York
Apologies on the picture; I forgot to take on until I was already a few bites in.
Despite the name, this dish isn’t spicy. There’s a warmth but I was hoping to taste fire. The flavor was nice, but I honestly found more complexity and spice in the spicy miso dish.
The fried chicken is delicious and just barely threads the needle on not being too heavy while still having a crunchy, satisfying breading. Totto knows their chicken and this is a nice showcase.
