Shinji Muramoto, a late comer to the ramen craze, has a winner here. Each of the ramen dishes are excellent - my favorite is Morris, a pork ramen. For something lighter, try the spicy ramen.
The menu and drink list are small, but thoughtful and focused on quality. The cocktails feature refreshing, subtle flavors. The Smoking Jacket has a nice touch of Scotch. The spiced pear saketini is a favorite.
Satsuma fries with gochujang aioli - sweet potato fries with a spicy aioli - make an nice first course paired with the not too spicy kimchi and pickled okra.
Atmosphere was casual. Service was friendly and fast, but not rushed. No reservations are taken, and the 40 seats fill up by 6 pm so go early or be patient. The bill for 2 came to $60, including drinks and starters.
