"A high-energy hangout for ramen, pho, spiked bubble teas, fast-dispensing sakes, and glass beakers full of beer touched down in the Union Market district in May. The Connecticut-born chain’s first mid-Atlantic locale, situated at the foot of the Edison apartments, sends out colorful cocktails made with everything from Japanese-made gin, yuzu, shochu, and plum wine to Mexican agave spirits. A “cheap thrills” happy hour is full of weekday discounts on bao and sake bombs." - Tierney Plumb
