A polished cocktail bar with the soul of a serious ramen spot, this Upper East Side favorite stands out for doing both sides well. The drinks show real range, from Japanese influenced signatures to strong classics, and they come with the kind of care that makes sitting at the bar especially rewarding. Food is more than an afterthought here, with rich ramen that gives the place substance and keeps it from feeling like just another cocktail destination. The room feels intimate without trying too hard, which makes it easy to settle in for a full evening or simply a drink and a bowl.
