From the Nov.-Dec. 2024 issue of Coastal Virginia Magazine:
“Best ramen around,” agreed all of our food critics regarding chef-owner Kevin Ordonez’s popular modern Asian restaurant Alkaline on 21st Street in Ghent. What started as a pop-up and earned a brick-and-mortar due to crowd-sourcing from a legion of devoted fans, Alkaline shines on every level. The decor is clean and simple in reds, blacks and whites. Japanese Okonomiyaki is served atop tater tots, and all bone broths are scratch-made in the Tonkotsu, Shoyu, Kimchi, Miso and other ramens.
