"At Konban, a Japanese izakaya-style restaurant in Chelsea known for multiple styles of pork katsu and social-media hits like corn ribs and trompe l’oeil corn ice cream, I was impressed by the crisp, delicate coating on the katsu (we got the fattier pork loin). The dish I keep coming back to is the mazemen ($16), made with a spicy pork and almond butter sauce, fresh noodles, and topped with a pat of butter for a silky finish; bonus: it’s incredibly kid-friendly, with high chairs and children’s utensils provided." - Eater Staff
