Kazoo is a beloved Japantown ramen shop serving rich, carefully crafted bowls with house-made noodles and long-simmered broths. The tonkotsu and spicy miso ramens are the standouts, and the gyoza are crispy and excellent. Expect a line during peak hours — it's a small space and the quality draws a loyal crowd.
