The Akamaru Modern ramen was the best ramen I had outside of Japan, although I am sure the others are amazing too! Get the extra special pork belly, if you know what I mean!

It is awesome and NOT cash only - they accept cards! Too many strollers but gorgeous decor, scrumptious brunch and great service. Another stellar addition to the storied Williamsburg food corridor.
