"Kohoku-Ku Ramen is a tiny restaurant in Hell's Kitchen with makeshift seating made from repurposed Suntory crates and a very fun bathroom. If you like your ramen broth incredibly thick and rich, you'll love the soup here, which borders on gravy. The Kumamoto, made with an ultra-concentrated pork and black garlic broth, is our go-to order, but the spicy miso and grilled mackerel options are great, too. The menu also covers all the classic izakaya dishes, like yakitori, curry rice and karaage. It's pretty close to Times Square, but far enough away from the action that you can use this as a non-touristy pre-theater option." - will hartman, willa moore, sonal shah, neha talreja, kenny yang
