"Tabata has been around for a few years, and there isn’t anything fancy about it. It’s just one room with a handful of tables, a bar, and some pictures of their food on the wall (which is something more restaurants should do). What sets this place apart is the fact that the owner is Burmese, and their signature ramen comes with coconut milk and red onions. It’s worth trying at least once, although we actually like the spicy miso-soy version best. Get the deep fried tofu to start as well, and keep this place in mind for any weeknights when you need a bowl of soup before heading home." - bryan kim
