Iki Ramen

What people say, in short
Many people recommend Iki Ramen, and some point to its chicken, fish and seafood broths, including mazemen options. One ranks its yuzu shio above Afuri's, and one loves its vegan ramen. One diner calls it the best, and another puts it close to their top pick. One commenter calls it their closest pick but found the yuzu shio had bitter notes and was not quite at Tokyo shio standards.
