The Best Ramen In Boston - Boston - The Infatuation

"This much-beloved ramen spot used to be in Allston’s Super 88 complex, but now it’s located on a corner in Medford right by the Mystic River. It’s a setting that almost feels like the set of The Great British Baking Show - albeit with fewer sheep and teal kitchen appliances - and one that left us pretty unprepared for the fiery ramen at Pikaichi. There’s some seriously enjoyable heat to both the spicy miso and jigoku bowls, but amazingly the spice doesn’t overwhelm the other great flavors, something we can’t say about other chili-laden ramen. For a warm endorphin rush that doesn’t involve winning a cake stand, head to Pikaichi." - joel ang
