Connecticut-Born Mecha Brings Bouncy Ramen and Boozy Boba to D.C. - Eater DC
"Mecha Noodle Bar, a high-energy hangout for ramen, pho, spiked bubble teas, and glass beakers full of beer, debuts in D.C. today. The chain’s first mid-Atlantic locale sits at the foot of the Edison apartments in the Union Market district. The menu represents a melting pot of Southeast Asian comfort foods and street snacks. Customizable ramen, served in broths like 24-hour tonkotsu, spicy miso, mushroom dashi, or Sichuan beef, joins Vietnamese pho topped with brisket, bone marrow, chicken slices, and flank steak. Non-bowl options include hand rolls or steamed bao buns stuffed with Korean fried chicken, pork belly, or shiitake mushrooms." - Tierney Plumb
