"Palo Alto was the first U.S. location for this popular ramen chain in 2018, and fans have been lining up ever since. They get handed menus and markers, pick out noodle thickness and firmness, as well as garlic and chile levels. The ramen bowls come in five variations: the “original king” with creamy tonkotsu pork broth, the “green king” with fresh basil pesto, the “red king” laced with chiles, the “veggie king” with soup stock made from cauliflower puree, and the “black king” darkened with squid ink." - Dianne de Guzman, Paolo Bicchieri, Becky Duffett
