Chef Imani Battle of Nourish Ramen. Your reservation includes a salad, a bowl of ramen, dessert, and an option to add on chef Imani’s sweet sorrel boba tea (topped with your choice of tapioca pearls made from cassava root or coconut jellies). There will be options for vegans and meat-eaters alike. Feel free to bring your own beer or wine.
