"Samurai Papa is a tiny Japanese spot in Bed-Stuy with a pretty big menu of ramen, soba, and rice bowls, plus snacks like gyoza, pork buns, and curry brussels. The move—especially on a cold day when only a big bowl of soup will do—is the Tonbara Pork ramen, with a broth made from pork belly (instead of the bones), or the Spicy Dan Dan ramen for a little kick. Seating is limited to just two small bars, so come solo or with one other person, max. They also have a few vegan ramen options, and Happy Hour deals from 5-7pm, Monday through Thursday." - Tiffany Yannetta
