//The line

Time Out's guide to NYC's best ramen calls the Manhattan space "tiny," advising diners they'll "either have to try your luck or make a reservation" to get a seat. The spot is a spinoff of the original Brooklyn OKONOMI/Yuji Ramen, carrying over its seafood-forward reputation.

Because the room is so small, Time Out frames a walk-in as a gamble rather than a reliable option, positioning reservations as the safer route for diners who don't want to risk being turned away.
