Ramen Shack (CLOSED)

If you’re looking for the king of ramen, the crown could deservedly go to Keizo Shimamoto. From his OG ramen burger to his 13-ingredient pork belly broth, Shimamoto’s unbridled passion for noodles comes through in every bite (and slurp). And with his expansive affordable LIC menu, penny pinchers won’t feel one bit restricted—five bowls and five burgers range from $7 to $10.
