"If you see a quick-moving line of people on the sidewalk around Orchard and Delancey, it’s probably for the noodle shop Okiboru. Only counter seating is available, so you’ll get to hear everything going on in your neighbor’s life as you eat one of the two types of ramen offered here. The tsukemen comes with udon-like cold noodles that you dip in a warm chicken and fish broth, and the ramen has a super rich, milky broth that will immediately conjure images of pork bones in your head. If you’re looking for just udon, they have a spot for it in the East Village." - bryan kim, neha talreja, will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick
