"There’s a lot going on at Bantam King, a ramen restaurant in Penn Quarter, which is why it's a great place for a dull time. The shop is a colorful, wonderful mess with lanterns in different sizes falling from the ceiling. A long table stretches the entire length of the restaurant where seats are packed uncomfortably close to one another. Be prepared to sit snug next to people you don’t know, which will come in handy if you need to zone out and eavesdrop for a bit. Though most of your attention will be fixated on your plate. The steamed chicken dumplings soaked in a sesame seed and chili oil will have you scouring for every last drop. " - Omnia Saed
