What people say, in short
Philadelphia diners recommend Terakawa, sometimes naming the Chinatown shop and sometimes leaving the outlet unspecified. Two diners call it the best ramen in the area, and individual diners praise the miso and spicy ramen. Views differ on the details: one likes the broth but not the noodles, another finds the good ramen outweighed by crowds and noise, and a third dislikes the ramen while enjoying the rice dishes.
