To celebrate 2014 Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, I’m going to post a “let’s eat” suggestion each Sunday highlighting a favorite foodie hangout where Asian Americans are prominent in the kitchen.
To kick things off, my favorite ramen house in the D.C. area: Toki Underground, 1234 H St. NE.

My love of ramen is well documented, and you cannot go wrong at Toki. Just not on Sundays, because that’s their day of rest.
