Eating Out, Food July 21, 2016

Japanese: Hide-Chan

Eating Out November 8, 2010

In response to my glowing, 4-apple review of Ippudo, a reader suggested Hide-Chan in midtown as a worthy contender. Combine this endorsement with a mention of Hide-Chan’s black garlic ramen from another buddy, and I was intrigued. I do love my carbs, yes. But a ramen joint worthy of Ippudo’s ranks?
