Located in Rapid City, South Dakota, Bokujo Ramen is the inspired creation of Food Network chef Justin Warner and Brooke Sweeten, who brought their New York-and-Japan culinary expertise to the restaurant.
The restaurant focuses on Japanese ramen traditions while incorporating local ingredients such as bison and South Dakota produce. Bokujo’s menu features a variety of ramen styles, including tonkotsu, miso, and seasonal specials.
I ordered the Bison Bun - Roasted Bison, Cabbage, Wasabi Mayo; and the Bison Bone Ramen - Bison Brisket, mixed greens, soy egg, sunflower, scallions. While the flavor of the bun was appreciated, the bun’s texture and presentation could use some refinement. The ramen was a bit gamey, and even with the broth, a bit dry. Interesting concept, eh execution.
