A reliable West Village/Chelsea border staple where rich pork-forward broths and sturdy noodles anchor a broad ramen-and-izakaya menu. The short rib shoyu and spicy miso bowls land with depth and consistent execution, backed by strong multi-platform demand. A smart pick for groups who want ramen plus shareables.
