With classic ramen continuing to rampage across the world's tables, perhaps it's time to explore its variations – such as the Korean ramyun served at this welcoming restaurant on Christopher St's quieter western stretch. Start with toro ssam bap (fatty tuna, toasted seaweed, tobiko rice and scrambled egg) before slurping down a so ramyun – brisket and noodles in veal broth.
