Japanese comfort food, noodles, sushi, sake, and award-winning bao
























"Long gone are the days when ramen was only known as a packet of instant noodles prepared by novice home cooks or those looking to stretch their food budget. The past couple of decades have seen dedicated ramen shops opening all across the country as people discover the endless combinations of broths and flavor profiles. Slurping Turtle has some of the best versions of ramen featuring ingredients such as pork belly, chicken, and their popular duck fat fried chicken." - John Reyes

"Japanese choice with long communal tables for tapas, noodles & sushi, plus sake." - Monica Williams
