Waku Waku Ramen Chinatown

Waku Waku Ramen’s Chinatown shop is at 2 Tyler Street. The menu ranges from tonkotsu with chashu pork and a marinated egg to miso kimchi ramen and a black-garlic beef bowl made with chicken broth. For heat, Kaen ramen uses a habanero-spiced chicken broth. Vegetable miso starts with shiitake and kelp.

The signature ramen comes with pork katsu on the side, keeping the panko crust separate from the soup. Chicken karaage, pork or vegetable gyoza, and takoyaki are among the small plates. For a meal without noodles, gyudon pairs beef and onions with rice, bonito-soy seasoning and a poached egg.
