Ganko Ittetsu Ramen · Coolidge Corner
Tucked into the historic Coolidge Corner Arcade. Nine Sapporo-style bowls on a caramelized vegetable broth.
Hojoko · Fenway
Chef Tim Cushman's rock-and-roll izakaya inside Fenway's Verb Hotel has served its funky chicken ramen since 2015. Koji-marinated chicken and a light, fragrant broth headline the bowl, with a spicy miso version bolstered by tangy hatcho miso and tempura-fried sweet corn.
Pagu · Central Square
Chef Tracy Chang's Spanish-Japanese restaurant in Central Square, Cambridge traces back to the pop-up Guchi's Midnight Ramen, and the bowl remains a menu staple. Rotating options include the Ramenara, with iberico ham and Manchego cheese, and a seasonal Maine uni mazeman, a brothless ramen.
