Noodle Slurpers Paradise!


Hello Foodies,

The ramen is all the rage at RAMEN SETAGAYA. This is the first US opening of a mini-chain of ramen shops that exists in Japan.

We recommend the Shio (or salt-based) broth - superb, smooth and flavored with ingredients like dried scallops and dried anchovies. The noodles are delicisous - light and firm. You can't stop eating them or at least, I couldn't. The dumplings are delicious and we liked the pork the best. The dumpling pastry is amazingly light and soft - irresistible. Another dish that we loved - oyako-don - flavorful, minced chicken topped with a soft-boiled egg that is served over rice. It's the perfect comfort food. We went with TDF alum and award-winning chef - Anita Lo.

So go get it at 141 First Ave, between St. Marks Pl and E. 9th St. The phone is 212-529-2740.
The website is in Japanese and that is www.setaga-ya.com.

Enjoy,

the Forks
