Reservations Not Taken
The first U.S. outpost of a Tokyo ramen shop with a cult following, you'll generally find a line of die-hard ramen fantatics outside Mensho's Tenderloin shop. Once you've tasted their ramen, it's easy to see why. They're known for their tori paitan ramen, which features a rich, creamy chicken stock and is topped with pork and duck chasu; keep an eye out for rotating specials like spicy miso lamb ramen, or even bowls topped with foie gras.
