"Ramen might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Berlin. But it’s everywhere, and the perfect antidote to a heavy night out. Sit at the counter and get your steaming bowl of house-made noodles delivered straight from the kitchen through a mahogany window. The shoyu broth with perfectly-sous-vide chicken chashu and the vegan tantan are our favorites. But whichever base you go for (miso, soy, seafood, pork, chicken, and sesame are available), expect the fudgiest egg and surprising additions like slivers of orange peel. You can’t reserve in advance, so expect a line." - cindy brzostowski, olivia ladanyi
