"Menya Daruma is the go-to answer to that last-minute question, “where should we go tonight?” It’s easy to grab a seat at this lowkey ramen joint in Elizabeth and enjoy staggeringly fresh noodles and homemade broth. The bowls are piled high with toppings like wood ear mushrooms, tender pieces of pork, and a black onion oil, with ingredients imported straight from Japan. The ramen is certainly filling, but don’t miss the pillowy bao buns or pork gyoza starters." - Kayleigh Ruller
