BESHOCK Ramen East Village
Order the tonkotsu and sit at the bar where you can watch the cooks work. The broth is cooked for eighteen hours. Market Street gets loud after 7, but you're here for the ramen, not quiet. Go before 8 if you hate lines.
Tonkotsu ramen. The chashu pork is tender enough to split with a spoon. Skip the soft serve at the end, get the gyoza instead.

Good Night John Boy

Order the Old Fashioned. The bartender knows the name, not because it's clever, but because the show is the drink. Gaslamp Quarter crowds mean 9pm is quieter than 7. Come after the tourists eat.
Monzu Fresh Pasta
4.8★Dinner · Local favorite
Order the pappardelle or whatever's fresh that day. Tables fill fast around 7, so come at 5:45 or after 8:30. The pasta sits on the counter in the window. Watch them roll it while you wait for a table. That's half the dinner.
Freddy’s Chophouse

Order the dry-aged ribeye, medium rare. The bar has a view of Fourth Avenue street life. It's a steakhouse doing steakhouse things, and it does them well. Reservation required, and they book out weeks ahead. Come hungry.
