Journey East Noodle Bar

Nice picture on the website

The pork melted in my mouth

The Veggie Pho was delicious ?

They have the best Tonkotsu ramen! They're soft boiled eggs and ramen broth are to die for!

While passing through Mandeville on a roadtrip we looked up Asian restaurants and Journey East was highly recommended. With the cold weather, we were looking forward to a nice bowl of soup. When we arrived, there was a special menu outside which listed one of my favorite food, chicken wings (korean style - interesting). Who doesn't like chicken wings other than a vegetarian or vegan?

I have taken many roadtrips around America just to eat chicken wings. I will have to say that the wings at Journey East are one of the favorites; top 3. The wings were fried perfectly and seasoned and sauced very well; plus they were not greasy. When I got to the last wing after savoring each bite, the explosion was just like the first bite; that's how you know you're having great wings. If I live near by, I would definitely return just for the wings.

As much as I was very satisfied with the wings, we did come for the soups. My rule of thumb when trying any new restaurant is to always order the signature item, it is usually the first item listed in the main course. Thank God I am not allergic to any food and have no restrictions; I live to eat! I had the Tonkotsu Ramen, a pork based soup. All I need to say is that I live in New York City, food capital of the world, where there is at least 1 ramen shop in every neighborhood. Journey East ramen can certainly compete with NYC ramen.

The icing on the cake was the bubble (boba) tea. I have never heard of an adult bubble tea; an alcohol infuse boba tea. In my opinion, this is genius! I had to try; I had the Rose Green Tea.

I am so glad we stopped into Journey East on our road trip. The next time I am near, I will certainly stop by again. It is also very important to know if Journey East is consistent too.
