Minca aptly bills itself as "Ramen Factory," for other than a few standard appetizers, ramen is the only item on the menu. But so many kinds of ramen, served with a really impressive variety of fresh ingredients. Think flavorful mushrooms, great broth, tender pork, and noodles with firm spring and good bite. We inquired about this curious item, #10: "Sometimes, We have Experimental Ramen---Ask our staff." It seems that would be kimchi ramen, something we have yet to try. With flavorful gyoza in nearly paper-thin wrappers, Minca is worth a detour from the usual haunts on East Ninth and East Tenth Streets.
