"Come to this buzzy Shaw spot, where Charlie Chaplin’s likeness appears on most walls, when you’re craving good ramen and good cocktails in equal measure. We’re not really sure what the connection is between Chaplin and ramen, but it’s something to wonder about, then forget, when you order the perfectly tingly Chapin A.S.S. ramen. Wash it down with a cocktail like the absinthe and rye concoction A Woman of Paris, or The Cure, a softer drink with yuzu vodka and sweet strawberry. This is not a place for intimate conversations across the table, thanks to the explosive cacophony in what seems to be Shaw’s favorite neighborhood hang." - madeline weinfield

"Shaw’s resident ramen and cocktail bar puts out water bowls for dogs on the patio, where their owners can sip from an array of beer, wine, and mocktails. The 65-seat patio at sushi sister spot Zeppelin’s up the street is also dog-friendly." - Tierney Plumb
"Shaw’s popular cocktail bar introduces diners to ramen noodles at an early age. Order a small kids’ bowl with chicken broth ($8) with the option to add toppings and sides of bite-sized gyoza. There’s also a big dog-friendly patio out front. Order online or dine in." - Emily Venezky
"A favorite for ramen, Shaw residents know this place stays open until 1:45 a.m. on weekdays and 2:45 a.m. weekends. The kitchen wraps up earlier but stays open as late as midnight Thursday-Saturday. The cream cheese-stuffed wontons hit during a late night, too." - Missy Frederick
