Charleston isn't exactly a hot spot of ramen activity, but when a craving for noodles hits, it must be filled.

From pop-ups to gas station shops, ramen lovers can find a few around town, if they look hard enough.

Ko Cha

Copy Link

Korean restaurant Ko Cha sits in a gas station with about seven tables and a very extensive menu of bulgogi and bibimbap, but if you're looking for noodles, the kitchen can satisfy those cravings. The presentation is unfussy with chicken broth and instant noodles, but you can dress it up with extra cucumber and cabbage kimchi.
