Yoku Ono Ramen & Sake Bar

Slip down Anchor Place into a moody, two-story Shinjuku-style hideaway pouring sake and dishing out serious bowls away from the Chapel Street hum. Diners head here for the rich shogun broth and the tantanmen finished with tender braised pork belly—a distinct spin on standard chashu. Coeliacs find rare peace of mind with dedicated gluten-free ramen bowls that give up zero depth. Balance the heat with crisp swordfish bao or chilled noodles dressed in wasabi sauce and raw tuna sashimi. Up in the timber loft, glasses of junmai and Japanese cocktails hit the table alongside steaming bowls.
