Hot spot

Ramen-san is a bold and energetic neighborhood joint that slings hot noodles, ice-cold beer and rare expressions of Japanese whisky all to the tune of the best ’90s hip-hop in town. It respects the traditions but keep things uniquely untraditional in its yuzu sake bombs, crispy dumplings, spicy kimchi fried ramen and more. The restaurant is open for lunch, dinner and late-night dining seven days a week.

Seating seemed scarce for how busy they were, but it happens in these small restaurants. The server was quick and pleasant. The menu is ideal, as it's not big and intimidating, but still has a lot of variety. The pork belly bao buns were delicious, the sake was great, and the spicy miso ramen, which was a special, was wonderful. It came out fast and everything was hot and tasted fresh. Great amount of spice. Will definitely be going back.

Took a bunch of work friends after working a trade show. We were able to get drinks and food asap and re-energize for the rest of the week
