So excited that you released this list, devastated and forever bitter that it came two months after my trip to New York. As a Canadian now living outside of Toronto a list such as this causes me an intense mix of pain and joy. At least I tried Ivan...

You mentioned that you were pessimistic that good chintan ramen would ever come to NA, and I have also found that most shops just want to do the same shio tonkotsu paitan. Will your book have a good chintan in it? The people want to know, even up North where we should be drinking miso and backfat :)

Had always wondered about the story behind NoNoNo! Their menu formatting is so similar to Her Name is Han next door. Are they related as well? Love their shoyu as well.

IMO, any NYC “best” ramen list that doesn’t have Ishida on it has no credibility. One of my first bowl of Ramen in NYC was from Yuji, small space but when the wether is not too cold, you can smell the aroma broth outside while u wait. I think that adds to the experience. Will def miss Shuya.
