Nearest Tube: Angel
WHAT'S THE DRAW: A pan-Asian, pop-up ramen joint that's found a permanent home in Angel.
WHAT TO DRINK: A bubble tea cocktail is a must. For the uninitiated, that means tea (either hot or iced), scattered with tapioca balls that you suck up through a straw. Perhaps not the kind of aperitif you're accustomed to, but definitely a conversation starter.
WHAT TO EAT: As you'd expect, the traditional ramen – choose from shoryu or miso – is excellent, but the Spicy Sichuan Tantaman and the Spicy Salmon & Kimchi Ramen are distinctive twists on the classic.
