Goma Tei Ramen Restaurant features a wide array of choices — most notably a range of ramen and various curries. But really, who can look at all of that when Tan Tan Ramen is the first item listed on the menu and is arguably the best? The rich broth has a bit of a kick to it — in of which you can find perfectly cooked ramen noodles and tender, melt-in-your-mouth char siu.

Sure, Thanksgiving just ended, but if you haven’t had your fill of comfort food (can you ever?), New Eagle Cafe’s Garlic Chicken is a tasty post-turkey meal. The chicken is breaded with a flavorful blend of herbs and bathed in a garlic sauce. Plus, these are hearty pieces of chicken. No wonder owner Tae Im says that it’s one of the cafe’s most popular dishes.
