"Devout foodies gather from far and wide to worship at this Porter Square altar to ramen–this tiny restaurant’s seats are quite literally all positioned to face the open-air kitchen, almost like a church. Locals often queue for hours just to grab a seat inside this dine-in only restaurant. But brave the line-up and you’ll be treated to some of the richest, most satisfying noodle soup in town. Jiro-style ramen is the name of the game here, so expect enormous portions of steaming broth topped with thick slices of pork and a mound of bean sprouts and sliced cabbage. There are only two items on the menu here: tonkatsu shoyu pork ramen with two slices of pork, or five (there's also a kid's size available). The house's pork bone broth is simmered for 14 hours, lending each bowl a velvety, savory texture." - Todd Plummer, Shannon McMahon
