Thick-Broth Ramen With a Fruit Tea Chaser on Second Avenue
Slurp thick ramen topped with jammy eggs, then carry out a boba milk tea or citrus fruit tea from the same room.
🍜 Broth First, Boba Second
The bowl to order at this Second Avenue storefront arrives with a creamy, opaque broth, two jammy soft eggs, torched slices of pork, wood ear mushrooms and a pink swirl of fish cake. Some regulars find the broth flavorful and on the salty side. Keep a cold drink close.
That drink is the other half of the name. The tea bar pours boba milk tea over dark tapioca pearls and blends fresh fruit teas into icy slushes with citrus slices pressed against the cup. Crisp karaage with lemon, donburi and mochi ice cream fill out the menu, and the beef don combo runs large enough for leftovers.
Doors open at 11:00 AM on weekdays and noon on weekends, and a lunch special before 3:00 PM pairs an entree with a drink for a mid-priced check. Reviewers give it 4.5 stars across 141 ratings, praising the portions and friendly service. The kitchen closes at 9:30 PM, and pickup and delivery cover the nights the couch wins.
