Ramen: Ramen Setagaya

Like everything else, New Yorkers are opinionated about their ramen. The ramen wars have sparked intense debate: Traditional or Momofuku-fied? What's more important, the broth or the noodle? Among the options—Rai Rai Ken, Ippudo, Minka, and Totto, to name a small handful—we prefer Setagaya's smoky pork belly and salty broth, not to mention the quick turnover at the stop-and-slurp counters and the Japanese cooking shows playing on the flat screen.
