- Ramen
A downtown ramen bar from chef-owner Angel Cheng, who trained in ramen shops in Japan after starting as a baking student at Johnson & Wales. CTbites, in a January 2022 feature by Brian Lance, describes a kitchen working both a rich paitan and a clear shoyu chintan broth, plus donburi and sandos. Order a bowl built on the shoyu chintan broth with chashu pork and a soft-boiled marinated egg.

- Japanese
A ramen shop on Orange Street from chef and owner Angel Cheng. CTbites (Brian Lance) centers the shoyu chintan, a clear soy-based broth with torched pork belly and an ajitama marinated egg. Round it out with the katsu-don and the Kewpie egg sando, a soft milk-bread sandwich. The bowl-and-sando focus keeps it in the cooked-Japanese lane, separate from the city's sushi rooms.
