On an unlikely block amid Downtown Brooklyn's court buildings is this sleek ramen shop, a joint effort from food writer Harris Salat and chef Ryuji Irie (ex Matsuri); its noodle bowls feature meticulously made broth and quality ingredients, plus there are pork buns and other snacks, all served up in basic, wood-lined digs that fill up fast with a local crowd at prime times.
