Menya Daruma · Elizabeth
Menya Daruma is a small noodle counter on East Seventh Street with an open kitchen. A reported shoyu ramen bowl pairs chicken broth and house noodles with pork and chicken chashu, wontons, egg and bamboo shoots; fermented chili sauce is available for extra heat.
YUME Ramen Sushi & Bar · South End
Yume pairs ramen with sushi at its South End location on South Mint Street. A reported meal put its Thai coconut curry ramen alongside chicken curry don, a useful way to sample the kitchen's noodle bowl and rice dishes in one visit.
Musashi Japanese Restaurant · Ballantyne West
Musashi serves sushi, ramen and bento boxes from its Johnston Road dining room. Miso soup is another draw, giving the kitchen a broader Japanese menu than the noodle bowl alone. The ramen makes it a useful stop when the group wants different dishes.
