replying to u/BlueTourmeline: The Ippudo in Hells Kitchen makes beautiful ramen and sublime takoyaki. If you want something more cutting edge, come to Cobble Hill for Karazishi Botan.
“I enjoyed Karazishi Botan's ramen, but it was the gyoza that sold me on going back.”

replying to u/raegan1239: I’m East coast Canadian so we don’t have many options here!! Mexican is definitely a must which is why we had looked at Los Tacos, and ramen because we can’t get authentic ramen where I’m from. I’ve been to manhattan a handful of times but no restaurants really stuck out as return-worthy!! We’re not looking to spend an arm and a leg, but $50 mains aren’t a big deal!!

Beer battered fish, chunky chips covered in malt vinegar. Fuck it, going there tonight. Portion size is a little small but it does a decent job and it's not going to be a tourist trap you get your hopes up over like the others.
“This place is such a gem. Insane food”
