Hokkaido Ramen Santouka ★ 4.5
Santouka on Brighton Avenue has poured Hokkaido tonkotsu shio ramen in Boston's Allston since 2022. The 20-hour pork-bone broth and salt-only seasoning is the signature bowl.
Signature: Tonkotsu shio ramen, Pork cheek bowl
Order: Tokusen toroniku shio ramen: braised pork cheek on shio broth.
Tip: Lunch at 11:30 is the easy walk-in. Order extra noodles only after you finish the bowl; the broth is the menu.
