Philly’s Best New Dishes Of 2023 - Philadelphia - The Infatuation
"We’re fans of any sandwich that challenges the laws of physics while somehow still tasting great. The Ramen Thing at West Philly’s Cleo Bagels does just that. An airy bagel of your choice gets stacked with a marinated egg, pickled ginger, bamboo, togarashi mayo, nori crisps, and scallions. It stays as intact as a cartoon character’s hair, with sliced boiled eggs holding everything together sans side spillage. Each bite is slightly sweet, salty, and full of the umami punch that makes a bowl of ramen so good. Except you can hold this thing in your hand or maybe even shove an extra in a backpack for later. Avoid a Saturday or Sunday morning if you can. They're open seven days a week, and as early as 7:30am, Monday - Friday. You'll find you can walk right in for a sandwich on those afternoons." - candis mclean
