Hai Hai Ramen
$$Gluten-free ramen and long shared tables on Boundary Street
Eat ramen at a long shared table next to people you have never met. Hai Hai Ramen is at 185 Boundary Street, West End, a 100-seat room built around four lengthy communal tables, with a banquette by the entry and a curtained alcove for groups. The kitchen runs tonkotsu, chicken and vegetable broths in shio or shoyu, and swaps in gluten-free sweet potato noodles on request. Bao, karaage, miso sweetcorn and fried Brussels sprouts fill out the izakaya side. Licensed, with craft beer and ginger beer on tap. Lunch and dinner Wednesday to Sunday.
