The 20 Best Japanese Restaurants in NYC
"The first time you go to this soba specialist on the Bowery, make a beeline for the back of the menu and get their signature mera-mera bowl. It’s an extremely satisfying dish, with spicy sesame and chicken-based broth adhering to the thin, firm buckwheat noodles (which are gluten-free). The second time you go to Cocoron, you should probably do this again, unless it’s really hot out. In that case, get a bowl of cold dipping soba, served with a salty chicken broth." - will hartman, neha talreja, bryan kim, willa moore
