Ramen on the Common; Sneak Peek at BoMa

HUB-WIDE - CBS says that the best tasting menus (as opposed to the best-tasting menus) can be found at these five restaurants. On the list: Craigie on Main, Menton, and the Barking Crab. Just kidding about that last one. [CBS]

SOUTH END - BoMa is making strides towards opening in the former Bombay Club space on Washington. BosGuy reports that the restaurant may open by August (it had been hoping for July) and shares a few construction photos. Also, BoMa doesn't stand for Boston, MA, which is probably a good thing.

DOWNTOWN - What was once Bejing on the Common is now Bento Express, reports local restaurant critic MC Slim JB via Chowhound. He writes: "Japanese: snacks for $2-7, bento boxes $8-9, sushi $4-9, noodle and rice plates $7-9, ramen and udon $8-9." Wait, RAMEN!? [Chowhound via BRT]
