"Among all the ramen shops I have visited in NYC, northern central NJ, PekoPeko probably is in the middle of the pack. I tried the Tan Tan Ramen and it was okay – noodle was decent; however, the chicken broth was not as heavy as I expected (supposed to be thick and opaque with rich flavor) and overall taste was a bit on the salty side. Toppings were fine but portion wasn't as generous as it should be. One interesting twist is that PekoPeko seems to be using minced beef instead of minced pork which is a more traditional ingredient of topping for Tan Tan. It's fun to try something different. Overall the service is great and ramen is fair. That said, the price is bit high comparing to some of the outstanding Japanese shops at either east side mid town NYC area in which majority of the items on the menu are in the $11 $1 range and additional toppings are around $1~ $2.5, or in central NJ (e.g. Princeton area) where sub $10 is a norm."
