What people say, in short
Daikaya on 6th Street draws repeated ramen recommendations. One diner especially praises the noodles, and another calls it a longstanding favorite. One commenter distinguishes the ramen shop from its upstairs izakaya rather than treating the two as interchangeable dining experiences. A dissenting commenter strongly prefers Menya Hosaki and dislikes Daikaya's style.
