"Oisa is one of the finest ramen shops in Boston, and nothing on its menu costs more than $15. Grab a couple of bowls — the tonkotsu, which is served with burnt garlic oil, pork belly, sesame seeds, pickled mustard greens, scallions, pickled ginger, and a soy egg, is especially tempting — and a couple of beers, and slurp away. If first-date conversation can’t survive this tiny, bustling spot, it probably wasn’t meant to be." - Terrence Doyle
