Ramen Melrose
7.9
A casual, strip-mall ramen shop that leans comforting and generous, with reliable pork and chicken broths plus solid vegan options. The vibe is straightforward and late-night friendly, making it a go-to for a quick bowl or takeout. Expect good value and big portions, even if the room is more functional than atmospheric.
