🍜 Tan Tan Bowl On East 49th

Nishida Sho Ten takes a different route from traditional Tonkotsu with its Tan Tan bowl. The thick broth brings together chili spice, ground pork and bok choy, giving you a specific starting point when a Japanese noodle craving strikes. Rich, savory flavors are the draw at this old school shop.

Inside, the compact space has a cozy mom and pop feel, and the bar seating fills quickly. There is a warm, bustling atmosphere well into the night, with the room still lively at 1 AM on a Thursday. An early finish is hardly the only option here.

Find it at 302 East 49th Street in Manhattan, where service runs Monday through Friday from half past eleven AM to 4 PM, Saturday and Sunday from noon to 4 PM, and every evening from 5 PM to 3 AM the following morning.
