Fayetteville ramen food truck delivers on taste

I'm no ramen connoisseur, but I think I can peg a good place when I eat there.

The setup: I pulled into one of Fayetteville's food truck locales, the Yacht Club, with no particular place in mind.

• Akira Ramen & Bowl looked like a good bet, so I gave it a whirl.

• I ordered the classic ramen, which was noodles, green onions, half an egg, bamboo shoots and a piece of seared pork ($12).
• I also had gyoza, a fried dumpling with pork ($4).

The verdict: The service was fast and friendly.

• Since it's a food truck, the pork broth is sealed in its own container so you can pour it over the ramen when you get home.
• The broth would be good alone, perfect for a cold day or a day when you have a cold, but on the ramen and other ingredients, it sings.

The bottom line: This ain't your college dorm room ramen.
