"They didn’t send a text or even call. You found out when they went on a “work trip” and posted the same view of the Golden Gate Bridge as their old college friend. You need something brothy, warm, and soul-reviving. When you stop by the cozy noodle shop, try the shoyu ramen. Each bowl has a couple of juicy pieces of pork chashu seeping with flavorful chicken broth, house shoyu, and toppings like scallion, fried garlic and sesame seeds. It’s a comforting blend that will almost put you in the mood to forgive the state of California. Almost." - candis mclean
