"The more casual sister restaurant to chef Anthony Nguyen’s Izakaya Joyi, this sliver of a ramen bar with nonstop service stays busy throughout the day. Choose among pork, chicken, or vegetable broth for the excellent iekei ramen (homemade from local rice flour, of course), and load up on gyoza and/or chashu don too. Then place your order and snatch the first barstool available at the counter; the space fills up fast. [$]" - Lindsey Tramuta
