"The East Coast outpost of this popular San Francisco ramen shop is one of the better options for a quick bowl of noodles in the East Village. Tonkotsu ramen, starting at $16, is their speciality, and the pork broth here is some of the richest, creamiest we’ve had. The space is fairly nondescript, and it's quiet enough for a low-key, intimate date. The only noise you'll have to talk over will be the slurping of your own noodles. " - neha talreja, bryan kim
