This Japanese and Persian-influenced ramen shops serves soul-soothing plant-based noodles and broth. Blair Stenvick writes of the konkatsu ramen, "The broth gave a nice kick to the perfectly pressed tofu and house-made noodles, which had a lovely soft, slightly chewy texture. I often find myself disappointed by giant ramen bowls overflowing with 10 different toppings, as the flavors can easily get muddled. But Safframen's broth and toppings were perfectly curated to create a simple, but lasting, impression. This is all I want to eat the next time there's a snow day in Portland."
