Bari-Uma isn’t kidding when they claim their tonkotsu ramen to be super rich. If you like your ramen soup full-bodied, thick and creamy with a deep flavor, Bari-Uma should be on your radar.
Established in Hiroshima since 2003, Bari-Uma offers two kinds of ramen: either pork or chicken stock based in shoyu, light shoyu and spicy flavors.

Compared to other tonkotsu ramen in town, Bari-Uma’s version has a darker looking broth that packs a strong, salty and porky punch. The shop’s signature ramen is Ajitama-Uma @ RM25.90 that comes with the typical toppings such as thick-cut flamed chashu, egg and bamboo shoots.
While ordering, you can also tell them how you like your noodles done: regular, soft or underdone to suit your preference. Served piping hot, the soup maintains a consistent flavor all the way to the very end. It was undeniably delicious and the only minor gripe I had was the slightly-overcooked egg.

On the other hand, the Chicken Ramen (Tori Ajitama-Uma) @ RM21.90 is the polar opposite for being clear with a mild flavor that’s almost simiar to ginger and sesame oil chicken. Not bad, but I feel pork ramen should always be your first choice at Bari-Uma.

A few side dishes are available here but you can probably guess them all. We decided to try the Yakitori-Tori Combo (assorted grilled skewered chicken and pork) @ RM15.90 instead of our usual order of gyoza.
The pork belly was awesome because of the nice fatty parts, while the rest was only average at best. A better bet would be to order the pork belly only, by a la carte.
