Ramen restaurant · Buckman
"This Southeast Ankeny ramen shop is perhaps best known for its lipstick-red tonkotsu, supremely rich with a hearty pork broth and thick hunks of chashu. The heat of chiles is calmed by the creaminess of the broth, but you’ll still leave with a runny nose. The menma, or marinated bamboo, is particularly nice here — it’s worth ordering a little extra." - Nick Woo, Brooke Jackson-Glidden
