What makes great tonkatsu ramen
Tonkatsu ramen tops a hot bowl with a crispy, panko-breaded pork cutlet — a hearty twist that pairs especially well with a rich tonkotsu or chicken paitan broth. Note: tonkatsu is the fried cutlet, not tonkotsu the pork-bone broth.
How I find the best tonkatsu ramen in Birmingham

In Birmingham, I open a couple of listings, skim the most recent reviews and the photos, and go with the bowl that looks carefully made. The map keeps everything sorted by distance, so you are never trading quality for a long drive.
