Best of Boston

The debut from chef Tracy Chang, cofounder of the pioneering pop-up Guchi’s Midnight Ramen, is part izakaya, part pintxos bar, and fully the chef’s “culinary diary.” That means reverence paid to ramen, especially the original Guchi’s version. Featuring house-made alkaline noodles, three rich broths, and a perfectly cooked six-minute egg, the luxurious bowl is even more satisfying in Chang’s sleek permanent digs.
