"For some folks, broth is the most important part of ramen. For others, it's the noodles. For a select few, perhaps it's the bamboo shoots. However, if you're prioritizing pork, Silverlake Ramen, an LA-based chain in Kirkland, is the only answer. Instead of thin, rubbery slices, the braised belly here is served in the form of long bars that practically disintegrate on each bite. As for which type of ramen to order, you're in good hands with the garlic truffle ramen, loaded with a creamy truffle oil-slicked broth and tasty cooked kale." - kayla sager riley, aimee rizzo
