"Kawa 18 Ramen is a casual spot in Forest Park serving decent bowls of ramen. Wood floors, paneled walls, and wicker lighting give it a warm feel, making it an easy stop for a lunch or lowkey dinner, when you can linger over your bowl without feeling rushed. It won’t change your world and could use a bit more flavor, but the ramen does the job—especially the vegetable ramen, which has a well-seasoned broth that outshines your average vegetable soup. Food Rundown Vegetable Green One of the better options here, this bowl has a light, flavorful broth and springy noodles. Tonkotsu Black Ramen It's seasoned with black garlic oil, which comes across too subtle. The broth could use a stronger punch. Spring Rolls A crisp, golden shell gives way to a fresh vegetable filling. These are simple and reliable." - Jacinta Howard
