1. Taishoken

    Taishoken is a Tokyo ramen institution that's been around forever, and this is one of its first U.S. spots. The move here is tsukemen, where you dip cold house-made noodles into a thick, concentrated broth that coats everything aggressively. It's a messier, more involved experience than a regular bowl, which the slurpy regulars here seem to regard as a feature. Order the cucumber salad to reset between bites.
