The old saying goes, "You can never have too much of a good thing." Before you think about whether you generally agree with that statement, let's apply that phrase to ramen restaurants in the East Village.

Since I'm open to any new ramen place, when May Chan opened up, I had to go give it a try.
In addition to ramen, May Chan also has grilled skewers, and pajeon on the menu. I didn't want to try the skewers...
