"Snagging a table at Ramen Nagi often means playing Candy Crush in line for 20 minutes. But if you don’t mind waiting (or opting for lunch, as opposed to dinner), then, yes, this Tokyo-based restaurant is absolutely worth it. Its 24-hour-simmered tonkotsu broth is silky and rich, and the pork belly on top is a little sweet and meltingly tender. We find the standard Spice Level 1 to not be very spicy, but everything is customizable, including the heat, noodle thickness, broth richness, and garlic potency. Just know that the initial wait is the slow part because, once your order, the food comes out hot and fast. " - brant cox, sylvio martins, nikko duren
