Thick-noodle ramen

The story behind the bowl

Watanabe puts unusually thick, house-made noodles at the center of the experience, supported by a concentrated soup capable of clinging to their dense chew.

Before you go: Choose this for texture; diners who prefer delicate noodles should select another shop on the list.
