About

Bantam King pairs Japanese-style fried chicken with ramen, including a spicy, peanutty Veggie Tantanmen topped with Impossible crumbles and vegetables. It’s a colorful, cozy Chinatown spot for lunch or dinner, but recent reports say its noodles contain egg; ask whether the bowl can be made vegan with rice instead.
