Ramen is best slurped when piping hot, so ordering it as takeout doesn’t always hit the spot. Otaku Ramen’s kits (which feed two people apiece) are the answer. We tried two dishes the tantanmen and the shiitake maz and cheese. The ingredients were super fresh, and we liked being able to control how much spice we added. Each kit comes with a QR code you can use to pull up instructions on your phone, including a how-to video. Just boil the noodles, sauté your toppings, heat up your broth and slice an egg, and you’ll be in slurpy heaven. I may have yelled “Otaku to the rescue!” at my husband on a particularly dreary day.
