"After years of operating its food truck at various local breweries, Midnite Ramen is now permanently perched at Figurehead Brewing’s new Wallingford location, still serving a lively yatai (food stall) experience. The base broth is on the light side, with tare added to create ramen varieties such as shoyu and miso. Particularly noteworthy is the onomichi ramen — while not as entrancingly bitter as niboshi (dried fish) broths in Japan, the fish powder adds flavor while pork fatback lends lardy goodness and texture to the soup. New to the menu: gyoza and Osaka-style street food like takoyaki." - Jay Friedman
