Ramen restaurant · Financial District

"No one expected empire builder Michael Mina to stay out of the fast casual trend. Enter: Ramen Bar. The Financial District spot always has a line out the door on weekdays during lunch for worker bees to grab a hearty bowl of unorthodox ramen soups such as shrimp & crab, ginger chicken and mushroom & soy. There are also some of the traditional variety — hokkaido and shoyu tonkotso — as well as rice and noodle bowls, sandwiches and salads. The best trick of all is to order online and head straight to the front of the line upon arrival." - Stefanie Tuder, Ellen Fort, Caleb Pershan
