THE PANGEA FAMILY
🍜 The Signature Smoked Ramen is our best selling ramen, and we believe it’s in large part because of the extra steps we take to make it different!
.
🍖The pork belly starts with the typical chashu process, but we go even further by cold smoking it, which really brings this meat flavor to another level. Our house-made black garlic oil adds an additional layer of smokiness to the dish. We create it by frying garlic chips to 3 levels of doneness - light, regular, and charred - and then ground them up and diffuse them into the oil.

🇯🇵 Donburi is a Japanese rice-bowl dish consisting of fish, meat, vegetables or other ingredients simmered together and served over rice. Karaage is Japanese style fried chicken.
.
🥢 Our Buffalo Karaage Rice Bowl is a type of donburi, and it consists of karaage chicken thigh tossed in our tangy buffalo sauce, char-grilled bok choy, pickled red onions, yuzu aioli drizzle, and green onion. It’ll send a good kick to your taste buds!
