I eat at this (vegetarian, kosher, food counter) at least once/week. Their specials are super-duper & the ingredients are always fresh, clean-feeling, and wide portions, small stools.

This is the best Ramen in the city. Hands down.
It's the only place I've been able to walk into alone, and forget where I am. Be sure to get a beer, ginger tea, & spicy pork ramen.
