It’s the (stink) bomb

When you’ve got a hankering for a steaming hot bowl of Shoki ramen (which is, basically, always) be sure to order it “Godzilla” style with roasted garlic chips and crispy onions. It’ll only set you back an extra buck but the added kick and zing makes it next level good. Sure, your breath will be strong enough to fell an entire city, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. I like the vegan Yasai Kurogoma Tantan Men ($7.90) with its soy sauce-based broth, black sesame seeds, wakame, spinach, shitake and bean sprouts. Add on some tofu ($1.50) and you’ve got a satisfying, albeit stinky, meal. Various locations, http://shokiramenhouse.com.
