24 Best Restaurants in Boston
"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
