"In the middle of winter, when temperatures haven’t reached the 40s in weeks and you can’t leave the house without wearing at least three layers, you’ll be happy Menya Gumi exists. All of the ramen bowls are comforting and jammed with noodles longer than your arm. But our favorite is the vegan tomato yasai bowl, which has a surprisingly savory punch thanks to the dashi-pickled tomato and shiitake mushrooms. And if you’re not in a soup mood, there’s always the egg sando with its fluffy omelette and a thick layer of Kewpie mayo cradled between two heavily buttered pieces of toast." - Ciera Velarde
