Ramen-ya in Rittenhouse neighborhood?

I have some limited time visiting friends and seeing a show at the Kimmel Center next month. Was hoping to take in some good ramen while I'm there, and I'll be in the Rittenhouse Square area without a car (or a lot of time). Any suggestions for a place to get good ramen for dinner on a Monday? Looking for a dedicated ramen place, though if it's a sushi place that incidentally has AWESOME ramen, we'll take it.

*Nom Nom is closed Mondays.
*Morimoto doesn't have ramen on dinner menu.
*Terakawa is over a mile away by walking and we'd have to walk back for the Kimmel show.

I'm sort of running out of ideas.. Any help would be appreciated.

    Nom Nom Ramen IS open on Mondays and I'd say it is your best bet in Center City.

      Morimoto's ramen is nothing special, in fact it's pretty terrible.

      I haven't been to the newer places yet, but I highly recommend NOT ordering the tonkotsu ramen at Morimoto.

        Philly isn't a great ramen destination, I'd focus on something else.

          I was just at morimoto tonight and there was ramen under the soup menu. Check the menu again under soups on their website.
