Ramen Mitsuyoshi (满吉拉面) is a small shop that does excellent, traditional ramen which just opened not too far from Madang Road metro station. It’s a tiny space, seating diners around a bar counter facing the open kitchen.
On the horizon: A Japanese omakase, a bean-to-bar cafe, and another Shake Shack. Now open: excellent ramen, fine dining Indian, Cantonese roast duck, and more.
