TastyPals Editorial Pick
JW
James Whitfield
Restaurant Critic
“Soto's tonkotsu ramen is the honest test of any japanese restaurant kitchen: twenty-hour broth and it shows — rich without being cloying, noodles arriving at exactly the right firmness. Worth a second visit to work through the full menu. Reservations are worth making for weekends; weeknights you can usually walk in.”
