Slurp up some reliably tasty ramen and soba at this compact Japanese restaurant, which previously had a location in Bushwick. Noodles come served in an ultra-flavorful broth that’s served with a side of dashi made from either bonito or seaweed stock for even more piquancy. In line with other noodle shops in the borough, ramen and soba are priced at $12 to $15 per bowl with the option to add on sliced pork, egg, and extra noodles.
