Tiger Den

At the industrial ramen joint Tiger Den in Chinatown, you can slink into one of the booths and have a no-frills bowl of tonkotsu, rich tantanmen, or tsukemen. We struggle to pick one bowl that perfectly encapsulates all that is Tiger Den, but our favorite is the black bean garlic that matches savory black garlic with rich slices of pork chashu and crispy pork bits lacing the broth. Bring a friend and hunker down with a steaming bowl as you admire all of the hand-drawn artwork plastered around the restaurant.
