The 48 best spots for ramen in Brooklyn

The ramen is perfectly fine and the added value of private single seat booth is really nice, it's not as enjoyable as you'd think with friends or family because everyone is sectioned off in their little booths. But for some quiet self time, it's perfect. The staff was friendly, quick and helpful The ramen while fine was just a very basic ramen arrangement. The broth thickness can be adjusted but the flavoring was definitely meant for broader appeal and was found a little on the plainer side of broth offerings. For a Calpico and basic ramen it was about 30+ dollars. While this is a fun little experience, the price point doesn't make this a regular spot. Ramen special/ happy hours would be nice to have.

I had an amazing experience in Ichiran. We waited for a bit for our turn to order and be seated, we were a party or 4 and my friends want to seat together, the staff accommodated us which was really great. Now the food still haunts me to this day. I ordered the spicy tonkotsu, from the broth and the perfectly cooked noodles are so good, everything was so delicious. You can adjust your spice level even after you got your ramen already. The only thing that was off is that if you order boiled eggs you would have to peel yourself, and its kind of a job. Which i do not mind doing but some of my friend think its better if its peeled already. Also the matcha pudding is so delicious, not too heavy for after dinner treat. But overall its a great experience and definitely worth to try! Will definitely come back!!

The Ramen was great but nothing extraordinary for someone who has had ramen before in places like the Bay Area. The long wait (1 hour) was not worth it in my opinion. As far as the food is concerned, it was great and the ramen was flavorful and umami. I ordered spicy level 9 and it was not too hot so I might go with 10 or above next time.

PSA: This is a very unique experience in the US that most won't be familiar with so read on to learn more about it. Food: I got the classic Tonkatsu ramen on medium saltiness, medium spice (2/10), medium noodle cooked level, with green onions, and an egg on the side. They allow you to customize up to 7 different elements of the soup itself, which is already unique in itself and is a testament of its freshness. The noodles were cooked perfectly, they had a nice bounce to them, and the perfect texture. The broth was very clear, smooth, and had a deep savory taste to it that was complimented by a lifting aroma from simmering/being cooked in pork bones. The texture of the broth was not gritty or watery as some places but cooked just right. The broth also appeared very clear and didn't have any impurities as you'd normally see in most chain Ramen restaurants from being overly cooked or overly seasoned. It had a really good balance of seasonings and a surprisingly light body unlike most Tonkatsu's I've had. It's said that only 4 people know the actual recipe for creating the unique flavor of this broth. I would highly recommend trying this out if you're in the area! Service: We were greeted the moment we walked in and asked to customize how we liked our ramen. The waiter was very helpful and polite with the questions I had. The server was also very quick and our order arrived within 2 min of sitting! One additional thing to note, this is a NO TIPPING establishment so that's a huge plus in my books due to the absurd level the food industry has taken it too. Atmosphere: This is where the uniqueness comes into play. Each person is assigned a solo dining booth (if you come in a party, they still put you together), where they are able to focus and enjoy their meal without distractions. When the little food curtain closes, it's just you + ramen, nothing else. Great way to limit distractions and enjoy/appreciate a very tasty bowl of ramen. This was a new experience for me so it took some getting used to but I enjoyed it. Overall, I would 100% come back again. I just wish they would expand and introduce additional meats and broths such as beef or chicken. This would add variety and a bigger incentive to come; otherwise, the ramen was very good!

Such a unique place! You order and pay first, then they guide you to your own seat. You have your private table, and the food is served through a curtain — a really cool experience. The ramen was absolutely delicious, I loved it and would definitely come back!

Got the Ramen Combo Set + Kaedama. Disclaimer: I’ve visited Ichiran in HK, Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and Fukuoka. Initial impressions: Egg was too runny, has the typical North American yellow yolk, vs the deep orange that you find in Japan. Tasted under-seasoned. Noodles were consistently overcooked (ordered medium firm). Chashu was pitifully small, and poorly sliced. But in recent years, Ichiran in Japan has also cut back on their Chashu portions due to inflation. Almost everything worked the same, except there is no plumbed water dispenser in your booth, and the checkout machines are Square payments iPads. People also take forever to order, and spend too much time in their stalls, contributing to slow turnover. Is it an authentic Ichiran experience? Kind of. It’s more expensive, the lineup is long, and the food is less good Visiting Ichiran in NYC feels a bit like nostalgia - it was better in my memory.

As a loyal customer for years, Ichiran remains my gold standard for ramen. It consistently delivers exactly what you hope for. I love it allowing you to fine-tune every element of your ramen, from the texture of the noodles to the richness of the broth. I always opt for normal saltiness, normal oil, with extra garlic, extra scallion, and 2x spicy for that perfect, fiery kick and extra soft noodle (Right in the picture) My husband, on the other hand, prefers no oil, light salt,1/4 spicy and hard noodle. If you appreciate a deeply flavorful broth and the ability to personalize your meal down to the smallest detail, Ichiran is a must-try. The quality never wavers.

This place was just okay. My friend and I came here for the ramen and it wasn't bad, except my noodles were overdone and too soft. The broth had some thickness to it, which was actually nice because at other places, the broth is usually watery. And this ramen was hearty and perfect for a cold winter day (I had the miso and my friend had the spicy miso). We also had the spicy kimchi and some type of green salad (I forgot the name, I think it was seaweed lol). I can't really comment on those because I didn't care for the flavor profile of them. Otherwise the service was friendly, but the whole atmosphere felt dirty with flies everywhere and no air conditioning. I dined-in, but I think it would have been better to order out instead.

The ramen here is the definition of a solid bowl of ramen. It’s not glamorous, nor does it need to be. This is where you should go if you’re craving ramen or if it’s a cold rainy/snowy day outside. I do wish they used ajitsuke or even regular soft-boiled eggs instead of hard-boiled ones.

Fresh off 1 hour on the treadmill at 10.5 incline and 3.3 speed to sweat out the sins of the night prior, I found myself craving ramen. I wiped the sweat from my dark brown eyes that are slightly too big for my face and remembered how someone commented on a TikTok I made about Momofuku, saying Minca was the better ramen choice in EV. I showered off, tucked my adidas sweats into my Nike socks, slipped on the all-black hokas and set off on the 0.4-mile journey. I missed it on my initial walk by as it is extremely ducked-off. Lowkey as the kids would say. With about 14 seats, an open kitchen based on necessity and the workers all speaking Japanese amongst themselves, Minca is about as authentic as a ramen place can get. It brought me straight back to wandering down a random street in Shibuya, seeing impeccably dressed Japanese residents enjoying their bowl of ramen at the tiny little ramen restaurant scrolling their WhatsApp. I ordered the seaweed salad and the Spicy Miso Ramen. I always say that you can tell how good a Japanese restaurant is by how good their seaweed salad is. Okay I’ve never said that but this seaweed salad was really damn good. The ramen broth was flavor blasted without being too salty or too heavy, and the noodles had the perfect texture that would leave a smile on even Ivan Orkin’s face. Honestly, it was a big mf bowl too and I think two normal humans could split this and still walk away content. I, however, happen to be a big dawg. My #1 ranked ramen in EV as of now. Also, I love the name of this place. MincaMinca! Sounds like a cute pokemon hahahahaahaha.

Say it isn’t so? MINCA HAS CLOSED TOO? This is tragedy. It was the tastiest ramen I’ve ever had in the world. Kambi is dead, long live Minca! I was heartbroken to learn Kambi on 14 and 1st was closed last month but that it’s sister restaurant is open. And you’ll be well satisfied. Is a bit Tinier than kambi in space but still the most delicious ramen I have ever tried in the world. Will be my regular go to from now on. Love you guys.

Good ramen at a cash-only establishment in East Village. Definitely satisfies the ramen craving but was a little disappointed after reading several reviews saying it’s the best ramen in Manhattan. Yummy but felt it needed more umami. The meat was tender. I loved the hole in the wall vibe it has

i ordered their tonkotsu ramen (pork bone broth). overall the dish was pretty authentic and tasty to eat. the broth was rich and filling, although i typically prefer slightly more “pork flavor” in the broth. the noodles they used were thick and had a good texture (i prefer it slightly more al dente/harder than how they cook it). the chashu was very savory and tasty though slightly on the drier side. all in all i’d still highly recommend swinging by and giving them a try if you’re nearby!

Great ramen. The broth, the noodles, and the tender pork belly. Of the places I've been to, their menu is the most reasonable (for Manhattan) and also the most delicious. The broth's consistency was heavy enough to stick well with the noodles. The flavor was tasty and not too overwhelming. I drank the soup all the way through. The pork belly was tender and melted in your mouth. It wasn't all fat either. The shrimp gyoza are also amazing. They are not gimmicky; they don't shout greetings in broken Japanese as you enter the door (to give you that authentic vibe). They are authentic and they show it through their ramen. They are also very hospitable and generous. They didn't charge me for swapping out an ingredient. A lot of places I've been to tend to charge you or completely deny you for swapping a simple ingredient for another one. In fact, all I asked was to NOT have scallions in my order, and instead the waitress simply offered a generous substitute. How about that? It's amazing how subtle yet powerful a gesture like that is when it comes to food service. I still would have enjoyed this place for the ramen alone. It makes for a fun, casual date spot. I would also have no problem coming here completely solo. After all, I just want good ramen and service. I'll return!

It was all so delicious!!!! Forgot to take a picture of the ramen...but it's so worth it. Also had the chili wings and pork bun...all yes. And Christopher was a great server!

I love how small and comfy the atmosphere was in the restaurant !! The Ramen was so filling and flavorful ! I will absolutely be coming to try every item on the menu !!

I used to love this place. I came back after a few years away and was sad to see the price go up and no longer include almost all the toppings, egg and protein. If you order a ramen with no add ons, it will look sad with cabbage?! And maybe nori? Idk super disappointed. Also the server was wearing maybe half the bottle of cologne and that messed with my smell and taste. I ordered the kimchi ramen and the topping included cabbage lol - kimchi is already cabbage?? By the time I added all the things that used to come with the ramen it was $32 for a bowl that used to be $16-$18. shrinkflation is annoying and lost a customer since 2011. I used to tell everyone I met that this was the best ramen. Weird how people get used to things like this and don’t realize there’s better and cheaper elsewhere in the city!

This place is amazing. I remember them located across the street or it might be something else. The space is big and opens late. The food is delicious especially the chicken wings. Food is good. Too bad we ate beforehand but we end up order for half of the table and the ramen is amazing. Great flavor and well made. Service is great. Food came pretty quickly and we appreciate they are understanding that some of us ate beforehand.

The place delivers taste without high costs. You won't encounter similar cuisine at nearby places. The entire staff remembers returning customers. The menu here avoids unnecessary complexity. Although I don't give praise easily, this place earns it.

They charge your credit card With a predetermined tip Before serving your food. Waitress was good but the older manager lady actually told me to change seats before I was finished eating. She was very rude about it too, trying to seat a family of 4 that was coming in. She kept pointing at another seat without apologizing. The food was sub par. Not good. I suggest you go somewhere else. Part of the menu was not available.

Pretty good Ramen place with limited but yet very tasty selection. The place doesn't take reservations and operates on a first come - first serve basis . So get ready to stay in line. My personal recommendations are Brussel sprouts and Miso Ramen. The sesame is good, too.

Incredible food. The guys were also really helpful when my friend had certain allergy requirements. Ask for them to suggest the must haves. I loved the signature chicken ramen with noodles. We also had the pastrami buns and eggplant. So so so good.

Ivan Ramen (yes, the Chef’s Table legend!) did not disappoint, chicken broth has been simmered for 8 hours, smooth yet silky, soft-boiled egg stirred in for that velvety touch, noodles with a perfect chewy bite. Crispy chicken skin + scallions on top = flavor bomb . And I loved those roasted tomatoes! Skin crackly, tangy-sweet and refreshing—such a genius twist! Will definitely return.

Amazing ramen! Had the spicy miso one. Very rich broth and the spice blend to the point with a divine garlic touch. Yet it was more of a Mala noodles to me. Noodles were perfectly cooked (a bit thin for my taste tho). Will come again for the tonkotsu.

This is my third or fourth time here. It’s always a great time, no matter the time of day or week. I came for lunch today and tried their new spicy veggie miso ramen and it’s honestly some of THE BEST ramen I’ve had in the area and city. As a noodle lover I’m always pleased when a place continues to elevate their menu.

Absolutely exceptional Ramen. The appetizer of the crunchy chicken was really yummy. The Ramen was a whole other level of ramen I’ve never had before. I got the Ramen with the crispy chicken on top. It was out of this world.

Ivan Ramen offers a refreshing take on a classic dish. The noodles were firm with a unique flavor, likely from a different flour blend, and stood out from any ramen I’ve had before. The broth also had a creative twist that felt light and clean without losing depth. I had the spicy miso and i think there is mala in there.. the different spice profile is well balanced.It’s a great example of how you can deviate from tradition and still deliver something just as satisfying as the original. Service is good - the staff is very attentive. Restaurant lighting is a little too dim imo.

I was here in 2019 first time and it was the best ramen in NYC. And today I can confirm same. Great quality, we enjoyed it!!

This definitely taste homemade and fresh to order food. I got the Tokyo Chicken Shoyu Ramen. A lot of chicken and a lot of onions (diced onions & green onions). If you don't like onions don't get this dish. The broth was flavorful not intense though I wish I would've had the option to make it spicy. The chicken had little flavor. And although I did have to take some of the onions out because it was too much they actually compliment the broth really well. I also got the 5pc Chicken Karaage. Fried chicken thigh pieces served with 2 of your choice sauces. I went with the spicy garlic and curry. Spicy garlic, was oil with toasted garlic & chili flakes.. I believe. Not spicy at all nor does it have a garlic flavor, still good, but misleading. The Chicken Karaage was hot, fresh and juicy. Also got the Veggie Fried Rice, which is not the fried rice most of us are used to. This had bell peppers, mini tomatoes, celery and like 2 pieces of tiny cauliflower. Though I'm glad I tried it, it really lacked flavor. Overall, food was hot and fresh but left much to desire flavor wise. Service from my experience was great. We got to sit outside and even though we were the only ones out there, they were very attentive to our needs.

The ramen spot was a total vibe. Clean setup, chill lighting, and that cozy kind of place where you could hang with friends for hours. The broth was actually really good—rich, flavorful, and not crazy salty like some places. The noodles had that perfect bite, and everything looked fresh. The food itself? Solid. The service though… not it. I had to literally flag someone down just to order, then again to pay. It wasn’t even packed, so that part felt off. Maybe they were short-staffed or just not paying attention, but it kinda killed the flow. I’m from Houston, so maybe I’m biased, but the meat portions were weak. For what you’re paying, I expected more. The flavor carried, but it didn’t give that “wow, I need to come back tomorrow” feeling. More like, “yeah, that was decent.” Overall, it’s a chill spot if you’re craving ramen and want a cool atmosphere. The broth and noodles do their job, but nothing here screams life-changing. Worth trying once, but probably not a regular go-to

Great izakaya spot in theatre district that's good for quick lunch or fun dinner. Remember an amazingl popup experience when they took over Ramen lab when it was still open. Large standard izakaya menu selection, good ramen with flavorful broths. Friendly attentive service throughout the meal.

On a chilly night, nothing hits the spot like a good bowl of ramen—and E.A.K. Ramen did not disappoint. I had the Oh-So-Hot Miso Ramen, and it was packed with flavor and just the right amount of heat. The portion was generous without being too much, and I left completely satisfied. The vibe was relaxed, and the staff were super friendly. Highly recommend!

I ordered the spicy one with a seasoned egg, i like the rich flavor and the combination of soy sauce and chicken broth! Overall pretty tasty

One of the top notch ramen near theater 🎭 district. Their appetizers were amazing as well. The ramen broth is flavorful. We had 6:30 pm reservation but we were early. They sat our family early. Highly recommended for ramen lovers.

Spacious place, nice vibe and great options on the menu. The gyoza was juicy and flavorful. Got the oh so hot ramen. The broth was heavenly, very soothing in winter. The ground chicken and pork were well made and tasted great. Over all a great spot.

Loved my experience here. Service was anticipatory despite it being packed on a Friday night. The chicken dishes were the star of the evening the marinade was on POINT great balance of sweet and acidity. I would say the noodles are good but I somehow found the chicken dishes just spectacular. Pork belly is very tender but could use more flavor. All in all the vibe and overall team made it a great night for us. It can get so loud in the resto so if you want a quiet place to chat don’t come on a peak night.

It’s a great vibe definitely geared towards younger crowd. The tables are small and the have stools without backs. A bit on the loud side. Food and service are great. Price is reasonable for what they serve. The hand rolls and pork belly baos are delicious. So was the ginger scallion noodles. The milk chocolate pie was really good. The smoked pork ramen was our least favorite. My expectations were much higher for the broth.

Momofuku Noodle Bar is a Japanese fusion restaurant with multiple branches. I visited their branch located in New York City’s East Village. The location was quite convenient and as there is a subway station nearby, it is easy to get to. Upon entering the restaurant, you will be greeted by friendly staff and a clean dining environment. The staff are happy to assist you with any ordering or general query. Before coming to this establishment, I had read many positive reviews and therefore had high hopes for the food quality. However, things started to go south as soon as the first dish arrived at the table. I found the smoked chicken wings to be too salty, though the meat was somewhat tender. As for the crispy spring chicken, whilst the chicken skin had a good texture, I found the dish to be slightly over-seasoned. Despite not getting off to a great start, I was excited to try their ramen since many of the positive reviews mentioned their noodles. Unlike the other two dishes, it turned out the ramen was not over-seasoned at all. It was quite the opposite. I found the noodles to be somewhat bland. Whilst the smoked pork tasted decent, it was unable to make up for the lack of flavour in the broth. Overall, while you will not have a horrible experience dining at this restaurant, there are better options for those looking for high quality authentic Asian flavours at a similar price point.

NOODLES WERE SO GOOD. Iconic spot. Chicken wings were alright, not really special. BAOS WERE THE BEST. I see the hype and why this place is so famous, but I feel like they could’ve given me MORE. Overall, yum.

the pork belly baos were the best bites of the night. i don’t think we’d get the bavette steak again. it wasn’t the most tender steak and just not our fav we’ve had at this price point. the potato butter felt like it was trying to pick up the slack. the ramen was tasty! we got the pork ramen and the pork belly was so fatty and tender. the noodles were nice and bouncy, i just wish the broth was slightly less salty. don’t get me wrong- i love salt (i am actually a salt addict) but this was just too salty for me. it could be that it was just too much with the other dishes we ordered. we wanted to get dessert but were too “riched out” and full. good efficiency and friendly service even with the noise level in the restaurant. food came quickly.

We went on Friday, and it was lively. The design is beautiful—everything in warm wood. Lots of people, lots of dishes. Behind the bar there’s always a board like at the airport: sometimes greeting guests, sometimes rearranging letters into the menu. No vegetable broth, which was a pity. The chicken one was fine, though we’re used to something richer and with more ingredients inside. The shrimp noodles were decent—the sauce tied the whole dish together nicely. The pork bao buns were tasty, if you enjoy fatty pork. They came with cucumber and sauce, although the Michelin guide photo shows them with a lettuce leaf. The tuna hand roll, which you assemble yourself, turned out unbearably spicy—we had to return it. Everything was fast, fresh, and made with quality ingredients. The presentation was very simple. The secret is in the simplicity, though that may not be to everyone’s taste.

Excellent experience, unbelievably kind wait staff. Came in for a promotion that I failed to read the fine print on, but they honored it anyway. The food was on point, and it was an overall great experience. The shrimp bun, rice cake, and bavette steak were standout dishes, but everything was delicious

Tried out the summer special tsukemen at @totto_ramen and the broth is very thick and has a slight citrusy flavor to make it more refreshing. Noodles are pretty bouncy and chewy. Overall good but not the best I’ve had in NYC. It would be a lot better if the broth can come out hotter.

A classic ramen institution in Midtown East, Totto Ramen never disappoints. 🍜 I recommend trying their original signature ramen bowl with a side of pork buns. If you come here for lunch during the work week, try to arrive earlier than usual. It can get busy!

I've been looking for a good ramen place around this area and I think I found one. Mega Paitan is their best seller and I was not disappointed. Service is okay, making sure we have water. The place is nice, they have a bar seat where you can oversee the workers making ramen.

We have been trying a lot of Ramen in the past few months and to be really frank the ramen was pretty ordinary. We went here as we read some good reviews. We ordered the Spicy Chicken Nanban which was good (the only thing I did not like was the sauce was poured over it, I like my sauces on the side) and the Spicy Paitan Ramen (they have Pork and Chicken options). The ramen was nowhere close to other ramen places in the city.

This was an amazing experience! i got their Pork bun and the Spicy Mega Pai-tan bowl. They were so fücking good. The pork bun tasted like heaven. The ramen bowl was to die forrrr. My friend got the Fire bird Paitan(i hope that’s the right name) and she loved it toooo. I tried Japanese soda for the first time and it had a very unique taste. It didn’t taste like any of the popular sodas, it just tasted…different (get it?) 10/10 experience. I will definitely be back <3

I had the classic chicken paitan ramen. It was tasty and decently priced given the size and toppings. The pork char sui was very good. I was disappointed that there wasn’t really any lighter broth options on the paper menu and that the miso was still with the paitan broth. There were many individual diners seated at large tables when they could have eaten at the bar. There is a B health rating as of December 2022. I’d eat it again but will try other places.

Great flavor. I would recommend the spicy mega ramen. The spicy ramen is not very spicy, so dont worry. The pork version is tasty but very salty. The chicken version might be better if you dont like salty foos.

This is a really small place with only few tables and a small bar. We tried two kind of Ramen - classic pork broth which was rich and savory. And chicken broth with spinach and a perfectly cooked egg, this was also great, far more light than the pork broth and had thin noodles. We started with a chicken gyoza which was nice. The staff was super nice but you make the order through an app. The place could be cleaner, tables needed a decent amount of soap, not to mention the floor.

I had to see if Ramen Nakamura lived up to its #3 ranking on Timeout's best ramen list. This hidden gem on the Lower East Side is a small, intimate spot perfect for a quick, fantastic meal. The appetizers were a highlight, especially the yummy Yuzu Wings-which was my favorite. Also enjoyed the shishito peppers, the geso calamari had a nice chew. My parents enjoyed the corn ribs and gyoza. For ramen, our table tried the rich and creamy Tontoro Pork, the light and clean Jidori Chicken and the Tokyo Tsukemen with pork and flavorful fish dipping sauce. I've just returned from Japan and this is pretty authentic ramen. A special shout-out to our server, Carlos, who was attentive and made the experience even better. And a fun fact we learned: Chef Nakamura is one of the "Ramen Gods," a title earned from competing on a Japanese TV show called Ramen King, the ramen version of Iron Chef.

We loved Jidori Chicken (thick noodles) and Torigara Chicken (thinner noodles) ramens - flavorful and light. Also recommend the Edamame pesto as an appetizer!

Super yummy, drinks, and food! The fries tasted great and the ramen!

Nakamura reminds me of the small places with good ramen in Tokyo and Kyoto. Small wooden tables, a tiny bar, excellent ramen and a clean and shiny place that makes you want to keep sitting there and watching the small kitchen making the magic of delicious ramen. We had the pork ramen and the chicken curry ramen. Both broth and noodles were savory , rich and delicious we both added chili 🌶️ oil cause we like it spicy 🌶️, we added cooked egg which was perfect and the experience was excellent with a very friendly and welcoming staff. It is like a small ramen bar somewhere in the back of a small neighborhood in Tokyo.

Awesome food and portions. The Yuzu Wings were super delicious. We got the ton toro pork ramen (generously add chilli oil, it will be even tastier) and the pulled chashu mazemen. You can also order from the menu of the sister restaurant next door, Niche, which focuses on mazemen. The Yuzu Line Soda was refreshing and just the right amount of both sweetness and carbonation. We will definitely be back. We read a recent article on Time Out New York naming this as the top ramen spot in the city and had to try it out for ourselves. We were lucky to get a same evening reservation and that they could sit us within five minutes on a Saturday night after we were delayed nearly half an hour by the subway (shoutout to the MTA!!!). Super nice staff and it was easy to order via phone/app system. Service was a bit slow but likely because they were busy and nothing that would knock off a star.

One of the best ramen I ever had! So delicious! The gyozas were so delicious too. Great service, really friendly staff too. Everything is homemade by them and you can tell why it is the best in NYC and ppl come from all over the place to try it! It’s a small but very comfy and with great vibe. I’m so glad we went there!

I haven’t had a vegan ramen better than this in NYC, or been to a Japanese restaurant that offers the amount of vegan options they do! Be sure to ask your server, a few dishes on the menu say vegetarian but they are in fact vegan! Notable favorites: Captain Brooklyn, Fish and Chips, Yakionigiri

We had a great time. The food was tasty, but I’d recommend against ordering the Iron Men IV if you prefer things less salty. When we ordered, the waitress did mention that the broth would be “very rich,” but I was not deterred and curious to try it. It was tasty, but I’d probs have preferred what my gf got, which was the Showa Classic. We shared and enjoyed the INEZO Peach, a jelly-based sake drink. The servers were extremely courteous and responsive even though it took some time to get our orders in. If you’re dining here, expect a cozy experience since some tables are positioned quite close to one another or the bar seating to maximize utilization of the small space. I’d def come back the next time I’m on smith street.

The best ramen in nyc. We have tried so many, we usually never go back to the same restaurant twice but we can’t stop coming here. The flavors are always so delicate and original.

Delicious ramen and wings. Flavors were very nostalgic and I felt comforted.

If you are oz and looking for fish and chips Australian style. This is the place in Brooklyn actually. The chef used to lived in Sydney and he makes like the pub style. The ramen is good and dumplings highly recommended.

Excellent food! I think it may have the best Tsukemen style ramen in Brooklyn. I recommend the cold noodle tsukemen. They have a fun and quirky menu (matcha french fries for example) but also more traditional ramen options. I think you need to try this place at least once. Authentic as well (the owner and chef are Japanese). Three different seating areas, outside shed, indoor bar and tables , and then they also have an outdoor garden eating area. Very friendly!

Summary: 2 person meal with delivery fees/tax/driver tip = $85 and we didn't finish a single thing. Ordered Tonkatsu and Showa ramen. One ramen bowl had 2 standard diameter and 1/8" thick slices that we'd expect from any other ramen spot. The other looked like it was sliced from the very end of the tied roast and were about half the diameter and only about 1/16" thick...a noticeable difference. Not the end of the world. Then we noticed that both were missing the scallions listed on the menu and no additional packet or side container was included. The Showa wasn't supposed to have bamboo shoots but there were enough for the person who doesn't like them to point out that they were in there. We ate about 1/3 of each because from the first bite they were both insane sodium bombs. Barely edible. Oh yeah, the ribs. Not memorable for any positive reasons. May be ok at the restaurant but I doubt a 10 minute delivery ride will dry out ribs this fast. All the flavor was in the glaze, meat was nothing notable flavor-wise. We won't be back.

Tonchin delivered a fantastic ramen experience. The dipping noodles were generous in portion and the broth was rich, authentic, and full of flavor. Service was excellent — friendly, accommodating, and unlike many other NYC spots, we never felt rushed. It made for a really comfortable dining experience. Definitely worth booking in advance if you want to secure a spot. Highly recommend dining here when in New York.

Busy, but worth the wait. Walk-in, had to wait for maybe 10 minutes by the bar. Waiting was made easy by super friendly bartender. Signature ramen was absolutely worth it , plus the cucumber salad and gyoza. Deep but not heavy , thin slices of pork , lovely texture of noodles, and super smiling staff. All the best to Tonchin crew from Norway!

Stumbled upon this place and it does remind me a little bit of Tokyo! The TSUKUNE bao was very flavorful. Even though the ramen were about $21-$22 it was still good. The thing that surprised me was how tender the roasted chasu pork was. You can tell the restaurant stayed busy but even as a walk in, the wait was 15-20 min. I would say 8.5 out of 10

Tonchin absolutely delivers one of the best ramen experiences in the city! From the moment the bowls arrive, you can tell each one is crafted with care -- rich, flavorful broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and fresh, vibrant toppings that bring everything together beautifully. Every bite is balanced, comforting, and deeply satisfying without feeling heavy.

Amazing Japanese ramen spot! Super humble yet definitely not low-key — it has received Michelin recommendations for 5 years in a row. We went for lunch during our visit to New York, and the value was incredible. For just $27, you get a starter and a main, including their classic tonkotsu ramen. Hearty soup and super generous portion of noodle which can be rare for ramen places. There are also other great options (some with a small extra cost). Highly recommend trying the Tsukemen as well — perfectly chewy noodles (served hot or cold) paired with a rich, concentrated dipping broth. Absolutely delicious! The restaurant is located right in the heart of Midtown, making it very easy to walk to from nearby tourist attractions. If you’re in town, don’t miss this place! We did walk-in on a weekday 10min after opening time. The restaurant can get busier so reservations are highly recommended for popular times (I.e weekends).

TLDR: decent ramen that was unfortunately just too oily 3.5 stars I like a good tonkotsu ramen but this ramen was just too oily. I usually like drinking the soup but the initial spoonful of soup coated my mouth with a thin layer of oil. The rest of the ramen was good but being unable to enjoy the broth on its own really hampered the experience.

I came here two times for lunch and for dinner. The ramen was tasty. It’s a nice place, but there is a small problem with the air after eating, our clothes smelled a lot like food. Everything was good, the waiters were kind and smiled. They also helped us choose some good sake. But the administrator was not nice. She talked to us in a rude and unfriendly way.

Chanced upon this ramen joint when looking for dinner in the neighbourhood after arriving in the city. Great vibes, nice and efficient service. The tonkostu ramen was very good, and the noodles on point. Great meal and experience!

Really good ginger shoyu Ramen. Noodles were a great chewy bouncy texture plus there was a generous amount of noodles. Lots of veg, clear grease free broth with a developed flavour. My new go to ramen spot. Pork belly is excellent.... I usually stay away from pork belly as it often is improperly cooked when you go out but this place was 100% correct!!

Tiny ramen spot with most of your standard options and then some. Got the spicy tonkotsu noodles which had a good kick. Gyoza was plump but didn’t strike me as especially interesting. Space is tight and the blaring red light can be a bit strong. Service seems distracted as well.

Broth was tasty and the noodles were on point. Spicy miso and thonkatsu ramen tasted really fresh and flavorful. Pork chasu rice was my favorite 🤤. Sound ambience and friendly staff member🤗

Had a gorgeous cold ramen that really hit the spot on a hot summer evening. Sipping sake while watching the rain outside made it all the more pleasant. Great menu, great sake, and great service.

Really good ramen place! I had the veggie dumplings, they were amaaaazing! The veg curry ramen was also delicious

The fried chicken starter was delicious, and the ramen was decent. My only concern was the cleanliness of the kitchen 😬 saw a few things during service.

OMG so happy to have stopped by and shame on me for waiting so damn long. This is definitely one of the best Ramen joint in NY and very reasonably priced. Broth is super flavorful and noodle is perfect firmness. A must on your Ramen bucket list

I got this ramen delivered so can’t comment on the atmosphere, but it was quite good and a pretty reasonable price. I got the spicy miso ramen and it was very flavorful. It was not very spicy unless you drank a lot of the broth and got a clump of spice all at once. One thing to note, if you do get delivery, you will need your own chop sticks or spoon because that was not included.

staff is super nice! ordered takoyaki, crispy rice maki, 2 Hinomaru ramens, 2 yuzu sodas. good stuff! was about 110 including the 20% tip. place is empty in the afternoons! with the occational ramen pickups.

Very cozy, clean restaurant. Service was great. Loved the tuna crispy rice & The Ramen. It was very good, lots of flavor. I'll definitely be back to try some other options! I had the Hinomaru ramen, crispy tuna rice & lychee mojito (very good, not too sweet, great cocktail)

Back to our favorite ramen spot on chilly Friday night, it was so packed that you could obviously tell they’re understaffed. Nonetheless, kudos to the floor staff who worked so hard despite being short handed. This time we opted to try their summer special ceviche ramen and it was really delicious!

The Ramen quality and quantity are superb. This is our fam. to go to ramen place in Astoria ditmars ❤️❤️❤️ since 2013 or 2014 if I'm not mistaken 😅

A charming spot that I was led into by smell alone- and to be allured by aroma on Ditmars is a complement of itself. The service was sweet and helpful. We started with the popcorn chicken and Takoyaki. The 🐙 was truly unique and cooked great. The popcorn chicken was lacking in flavor but the citrus combination created a nice taste. Now onto the main event!! The Hinomaru ramen just called to me. I was delighted by the sweet mixing of poached egg and bone broth- super unique and delicious!! Pork cooked to perfection. Spice level was perfect. Left nothing but clean bowls and full stomachs. Wish there was a coat rack so I didn’t have to put mine on the floor. Great overall. Looking forward to the next time!

The spicy tan ramen was really good. The Miripaka was also amazing . Arah was our server and she was great. Very helpful with her suggestions and very kind. Would highly recommend.

This is my go to ramen spot in the city, I love it so much and I enjoy going to the toy Tokyo store across the street to get a blind box. The sake selection is amazing and has just what I need. I always order the takoyaki balls everytime. Perfect small appetizer to start

I’ve come several times to this location to enjoy a bowl of ramen and each time this place never fails to deliver a yummy bowl of ramen. I stopped by today for a lunch date and everything was delicious. I do want to point out that the service was exceptional today. The service is always great but Kennedy was patient with us looking at the menu options and was attentive the entire time. Overall, I strongly recommend this place.

We stumbled into here late afternoon after our intended kitchen had already closed for dinner prep, and boy were we glad that we did. This is a hidden gem (I was surprised to learn it is a franchise) that has it all - fantastic Japanese-styled service, attractive pricing, and solid ramen. We had the Spicy Tantan ramen which was delicious and the right amount of heat - very much present but not overwhelming. The broth was delicious and took them up on the additional order of noodles. Menu is simple and straightforward. Their gyoza had me reminiscing about my long overdue Trader Joe’s shopping trip, but at $3 for 6 pieces during happy hour, I wasn’t disappointed. The main dining was populated by a good number of families - both visiting and locals alike. The entrance had a wonderful bar that looks into the kitchen and feels like a perfect spot if you were looking to dine alone and many were. If you are looking for a salve for a colder night or winter day that won’t break the bank, this checks all the boxes.

I really enjoyed the Hakata Tonkotsu DX at Marafuku Ramen! It’s a true Hakata-style ramen with an incredibly rich and flavorful pork broth. The noodles were perfectly cooked, and the toppings were generous and delicious. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic ramen with deep flavor!

SOO GOOD!! Our sever was amazing and it was super chill when we went. The ramen and all other food was super good and came out really fast. 10/10 recommend, a must try if you are in the area

Had Tonkatsu DX Ramen (the XL version!) The broth was super tasty with lots of chashu pork and we had the $5 gyoza for happy hour (2-5 pm) This is one of the best ramen places in the East Village with a cool vibe.

Absolutely loved the food! It was amazing all of it. We got some of bao buns i had the port and the veggie one and both was absolutely amazing! I have to highlight the veggie bao bun because it was a light crunch with the soft bun that was flavorflu and delicious that i honestly would go back to NY jusf for this bun. Sushi was delicious and so was the ramen and the peppers we got for an appetizer! Everything we ate was incredible. The atmosphere was a really incredible vibe and you got to watch them make the ramen too! Definitely would go back.

not bad, but not as impressive as I expected. The ramen had good flavor, but the broth felt a bit lighter than the original in Japan. The noodles were nice, though the portion felt small for the price. Service was friendly and the restaurant has a nice atmosphere, but overall, it didn’t quite capture that “wow” factor. Still, it’s a decent spot if you’re craving ramen in the city.

Top notch service and atmosphere. Had the karage, spicy gyoza and dragon tantan ramen. Wasn’t blown away by anything, but the ingredients were high quality and presentation was good. Would order a different bowl or ramen on my next visit.

What can I tell you…. One of my fav ramen places. Took my kids out for a meal… had a GREAT time. I got a special ramen that came in extra large. Apparently I was one of 2 ppl to order extra large in the past 2 - 3 months lol… I had no idea how big it was. It was frigggin enormous. I could not finish even with the help of my 16 yr old. Had to pack for home. But good lord was it tasty. The food was on point with broth rich with flavor and melty meats. Garlic toppings, spicy flakes and extra sauces galore. This meal was everything my boys and I needed at the end of a great day in the city.

Always love going to Ippudo! This was my first time going to this location and the vibes were great. Never a long wait and service was awesome. Tried the miso ramen this time and it was creamy and delicious- pork super soft and toppings added great flavor. The lychee soda 🤩 probably one of the best sodas ever

I came here this past Saturday and was disappointed. my husband and I have been here many times we and we think the chef changed as the food was different and tasted different. Ordered the karaage chicken and it used to come with a side dipping sauce and it came plain this time. we ordered the karaka spicy ramen and the pork has changed as it was basically a slice of pork and not their past thick, charred pork. we didn’t enjoy it. it was way too dark in there as well.

When walking into Ipudo I was greeted by the staff and with no wait was brung to my own table with a small cube having QR codes on all the sides. (I went to IPPUDO when it was happy hour) My order: Pork bun ($10) - the bun is really soft, the pork melted in my mouth, the lettuce has a nice crunch. The pork bun is a must try if you eat here!! SHIROMARU MOTOAJI ($20) - the noodles are good, broth tastes normal, the Bamboo shoots are a little bit tough but edible, and the chashu tasted like ham. If you really want a pork bun or want a cozy and relaxing place to hangout either with friends or by yourself, Ipudo is a good restaurant to be at. Preferably at happy hour if you want great food at a good price.

Delightful and delicious ramen restaurant. Don’t let the small space deceive you — this place hits a home run with their creative and flavorful ramen offerings. And definitely try the pork buns — they melt in your mouth, unlike any pork buns I’ve ever had. I do wish the chairs were a little more comfortable but the food comes out so quickly that you’re not hanging around in them for too long. I love this restaurant!

I've spent a fair amount of time in Japan, so I'm always on the hunt for quality ramen. And this spot delivered across the board. I started with some delicious alcoholic drinks which were very good, but the star of the show is the ramen. It’s probably the best ramen I’ve eaten outside of Japan. Rich, exploding with substance and flavor. A perfect meal for a rainy day in New York. My partner and I had the pork bone ramen and spicy miso ramen. The pork broth is amazing, the noodles are perfect, and the chashu is moist and flavorful. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!! If only I could return and eat a different ramen dish here every day....

This was perfect for a rainy autumn day lunch last weekend. I ordered their spicy pork bone ramen, and they nailed it. The broth was rich, just the way I like it, with great depth of flavor. The noodles were perfectly al dente with a nice bite, and the thick cuts of chashu were wonderfully tender. Just an all-round great bowl of ramen. I’ll be back!

Chicken ramen isn’t great, but the spicy miso ramen is rich, creamy, and actually quite good. If you’re limited to chicken due to dietary restrictions, I’d recommend skipping this spot. However, if you enjoy pork, the spicy miso is definitely worth trying.

No we’re lucky as we didn’t wait to get sitting but small place. Got the pork ramen and the chicken ramen, both were great, very tasty. Kitchen is open and you can sit at the bar and see how they cook or you have tables.

The best ramen we have had outside of Japan, and we’ve tried most of NYC’s ramens. Both the spicy pork and spicy miso pork were amazing. The egg was perfect, chashu was tender, and the broth was really flavorful. The service was also great. Definitely a hidden gem.

I dont have anything against this place, but i personally wouldn’t come back. $21 pre-tax+tip for Pork Bone ramen. Noodles were firm, broth wasn’t as rich as I’d expect from reviews and the name. Pork was thin and only about 2 slices. This place is probably good for an average person, but not a critic/stickler like myself

We did a walk in and the wait was reasonable. We waited over 30 minutes for our waiter to even greet us or even get drink orders. Not only did he greet other guests that came after us but by the time he eventually took our drink orders, 2 other families that came after us got their orders. Ramen chicken broth did not taste good to us at all. The Limeade, ginger ale, the tempura rolls, and Japanese fried chicken appetizer were good. But the ramen wasn’t tasty. The waiter never checked back on us and we had to speak with the hostess, she was really nice. We later then found out our waiter was the actual manager and I couldn’t believe it. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. Prices are reasonable

I’ve been to Afuri several times in Japan, but this was my first time trying one of their overseas locations. I was pleasantly surprised by the wide range of appetizers here, unlike the Afuri shops in Japan, which are more quick dine-and-go spots with just a few ramen options. For the ramen, the toppings were fine, nothing that particularly stood out, but the broth and noodles were amazing. The space is bright, clean, and much larger than I expected, with a variety of seating options that work well for both solo diners and groups. The staff were also very friendly and welcoming. Overall, a great dining experience and definitely worth the trek to Greenpoint!

Afuri ramen + dumpling 61 N 11th St, Brooklyn, NY 11249 @afuriramen_nyc Gingerale across between ginger beer and soda perfet. Yuzu lemonade phenomenal. Both drinks housemade. The mandarin oramge margarita was devine. @teaqune Sweet Tea approved. The dumplings were house made with a crispy bottom and tasty. The hazelnut ramen broth was nutty, thick and delicious. Sweat Tea ordered the Tonkotsu ramen which is the most popular. The Basque cheesecake was delicious 😋. It had merengue candied nuts and lemon curd. Yes please.

A great new ramen spot in Brooklyn from a famous shop in Ebisu, Tokyo. I went for lunch and tried their $25 lunch set, which includes an appetizer, ramen, and a drink, such a good deal for NYC🍜! I had the karaage, yuzu shio ramen, and yuzu soda. The karaage was crispy and juicy, with a tasty sauce underneath. The yuzu ramen was light, refreshing, and had a nice citrus aroma. The yuzu soda was a perfect match. I also tried the poke salmon tacos. The shell was extra crispy and the salmon poke inside was flavorful and fresh. The restaurant is clean and modern. Everything came out quickly and the experience was smooth from start to finish. Definitely worth visiting if you’re in the area!

This ramen spot is phenomenal ... ! The atmosphere is upscale, but the prices are very reasonable, and the service is even better. My ramen was absolutely perfect, and if I ever crave ramen, this spot would definitely be the first to come to mind.

A nice find in the overpriced strip mall that the Northside has become. Extra big up for the minimalist but excellent Zen ramen, at $10 + the no-skimp serving size on the yuzu shio edamame — and nice price happy hour draft pours of Kirin, Asahi, Sapporo + Suntory. Issuing a Japanese recommendation for this spot.

Food was great! Stopped here on a work trip - I had the Yuzu Shoyu Ramen! Broth was amazing and I could eat the noodles over and over - so good! Only thing was it took a bit longer to get the food than expected but it did seem to pick up in volume once we had arrived so it’s to be expected. Overall good experience!

I would recommend trying this place. The flavors are light and satisfying, leaving no heaviness afterward. Ramen is often oily and salty, but their chicken broth ramen feels gentle and balanced. It’s mild yet full of depth, a genuinely pleasant experience. Even if you have to wait around 30 minutes during peak hours, it’s worth it. Note that there’s no public restroom, and the shop is quite small with a 20 minute dining limit after your order arrives. They won’t rush you out, but it’s not really a place for lingering.

No doubt that New York has some of the best ramen spots, and this place is definitely one of them. The ramen I had was super flavorful, and I loved the cozy atmosphere of the small restaurant. As someone who's tried many different ramen spots, I can confidently say that this place is definitely worth trying.

Ramen Ishida’s New Tokyo Shoyu Bowl is a solid, no-frills take on a classic. The broth is super flavorful without being too heavy, and the noodles have a great bite. The chashu and egg are on point, and everything just comes together really well. It’s a simple, satisfying bowl that hits the spot

This place serves truffle oil shio ramen with a light chintan-style broth. It was really tasty The only downside was that it took quite a while for the ramen to come out. Also, there are only about six seats, so it feels pretty cramped.Still, maybe that’s part of its charm small, cozy, and very Japanese in style

Best ramen I’ve had in a long time and probably ever. Me and my friend both got the shoyu ramen, the broth was flavorful but not overpowering. We also got the crab and cream croquettes and they were to die for, it came with a peanut sauce which complimented the croquettes perfectly. Also highly recommend the iced matcha. We will 100% be back!

Very nice Ramen that is not too greasy but flavorful. It is one of the kind Ramen stand if that is your vibe. 20mins eating time limit is kind of fun.

25 min estimated wait time turned into a hour in the cold with my husband. No restroom .. it’s all a recipe for disaster… this place does have great ramen but beware coming in groups larger than 1. They prioritized a group of 4 after 5 seats cleared up and only 1 seat was free. Had to wait for another party of 2. They were doing DoorDash orders so the kitchen was backed up. I had to plead for atleast a free drink to make up for the experience.. asked for the plum wine and she gave me a terrible sparkling peach drink. I won’t be frequenting this location anymore. I’ll try Chelsea. The clam and porcini special ramen was not all that. Definitely doesn’t shine anywhere close to their menu ramens.

Most complex ramen I’ve had. The broth is very rich and heavy. The spiciness is perfect and noodles were just the right bite. The fried chicken was good but could have a bite more flavor. Tuna bowl was good but very small. Overall food was good. Service and safety was exceptional.

I was excited to try the bone marrow broth featured in their ramen. It added the richness and creaminess I was expecting, but kind of lacked in overall flavor. The short ribs topping was lovely though! Tenderness in every bite.

I want to place this as #3 on my “Best Ramen in NYC” list. 1st is Cha Menya and 2nd is Ramen Ishida. Za-Ya Gyutotsu - $18 + $2 (egg add on) Broth - 5/5. BEEF BONE MARROW BROTH. In love with it. A different type of fattiness! Cha shu - 3/5. This is BEEF, not pork. Has the charred and smokiness, tender but chewy. Probably the lowest component of the three. Noodles - 5/5. 17 minutes of thin noodles sitting in the broth, but maintain its firmness. I’m beginning to fully appreciate and embrace thin noodles now. Side notes: Unagi Pie - $10. Flaky and puffy. Sweet eel sauce glaze. Texture of the pastry overpowers the eel. Karaage - $10. Same as mines but crunchier. They definitely added a lot of seven spice to the mayo, which is a plus. Total - $52.26

The noodles are fried thin noodles like Kyushu ramen. The soup also looks cloudy like Kyushu Tonkotsu ramen, but it was Gyukotsu (beef bone broth) not Tonkotsu (pork bone broth), which made the ramen cleaner and tasty. If you know Japanese Gyukotsu ramen like clear consommé soup, their ramen is completely different and worth a try. I would definitely like to come back again. ------------------- I came back, and the Gyutan Ramen was amazing. The soup was bold and creamy as i expected, and the Gyutan (beef tongue) was chewy and delicious.

Service was a bit frustrating. Had two different groups come in 20 minutes after us and everyone got their food before us. Sat there waiting for food for a while. The waiter spilled water on the table didn’t clean up. Waited a while to be approached. Got water before we got menus. So just sat there awkwardly. It was frustrating because the place was not packed. It only had two other tables besides us. The waiter forgot to bring soda until we reminded him what we ordered. However the food was amazing. One of the best ramen soups I have ever had!

Great little spot. Beef bone broth is delicious and all the ingredients are really fresh. Unagi pie crust was flaky and light and the eel was so savory. Tan tan ramen was very flavorful with just enough spice.

After a busy day and hard work nothing can make you feel relaxed but a yummy bowl of hot ramen. 😋This place is by far my most favorite place and the only ramen restaurant that I would highly recommend. They not only serve THE BEST ramen in Brooklyn but they are always polite and welcoming. Very clean as well! I’m very happy and grateful that they reopened the restaurant after the hard months of pandemic.They also follow all the safety guidelines, we felt safe eating there, thank you 🙏🏼

a cute place for izakaya style small dishes. the menu is quite small and so is inside. the soft shell crab special was pretty good, but nothing special. i’d say opt for the tako obo (octopus pancake) or handrolls over it. you do have the option to have the crab in a handroll, though we didn’t get it. the chicken nanban was also good, but i wish the sauce was on the side and not poured over. the tako obo was my favorite. the portions are all on the smaller side and the pancake wasn’t too large either.

Absolutely the BEST ramen ever. Broth is amazingly flavorful. Noodles delicious. They’re so particular about the ramen than they will not make it if the chef is on vacation or if they can’t import the noodles from Japan. Soft shell crab also very good. Freshly made gyoza. Nice unassuming place with lots of small tables and counter top seating.

Amazing hakata ramen and small plates. Good vibes. Pork broth is rich, chef from Japan who used to have a ramen shop in fukuoka. Get the chicken nanban and hakata ramen. Shishito chips, spicy popcorn shrimp and wings great too.

Wow, I can’t believe I never came earlier. This is probably the most underrated place in the neighborhood. - Hakata ramen: a must get if you like ramen. They have the creamiest broth and perfectly cooked noodles. - Tofu as a starter: it was super fresh. Who knew something as simple as tofu with soy sauce, yuzu kochu, and scallions was a flavor bomb!

Rockmeisha is BACK!!! Good food, the Mentia Potato Salad and Udon are both amazing!!!

Honestly one of my best dinner experiences - every dish we ordered was amazing, especially the curry katsu, and the service and hospitality made it all the better. Looking forward to many more dinner experiences here!

I came to the restaurant for the first time and found really good ramen that I never thought I could get such good ramen in NYC. Unlike many chain restaurants, it was not made with commercial soup, but rather handmade by the owner, one by one, on the same day. The friendly owner told us that he had been operating a store in west village for more than 10 years and moved here this summer. It was really good and we will be back.

My family visited NYC and wanted to try some of the restaurants associated with chefs on Food Network. We found this place and were excited to try food from Morimoto as we have seen him on Iron Chef. The tonkotsu ramen was delicious, but karaage had some parts that were too hard to bite through. The spicy tuna roll was excellent, the tuna itself was very fresh and high quality, and the roll did not have too thick of a layer of rice. We came with our 1 and 3 year old, and the staff was kind and accommodating, but they had no high chairs and the booster seats offered had no straps. If you come with a wiggly baby or toddler, expect to hold them with your arms.

New favorite ramen spot! Ambiance (5/5): Sleek dining room with high top seating facing the windows or bar seating, or regular low seated tables. The establishment was only a third full on a random weeknight at 6:30p so it was very quiet and peaceful. Service (5/5): Our server was manning the bar and also attending to a few tables. Since we sat at the bar, we were serviced quickly and often! She was very friendly and checked in with us at the perfect cadence. She even suggested using their special hot sauce when we were eating and it definitely elevated the meal. There’s a dinner special of 1 ramen and 1 app for $30 (some of the options were extra $) so it only makes sense for some of the combination orders. Pork Bao Buns (5/5): WOW, the pieces of pork were generous, thick but also super super tender. The sauce was creamy and the bun was soft/fresh. It has to be one of the best pork buns that I’ve had! Tan Tan Ramen (5/5): Holy smokes, this is one of the best ramen I’ve had in the city!! The ramen noodles were a perfect chew and bounce which soaked up the rich sesame broth. The broth is so savory and packed with tons of flavors at once. Half soft boiled egg. Spicy Tonkatsu (5/5): I liked my tan tan more but this ramen was equally good. Half soft boiled egg. Second visit: The waitress remembered me!! Tsukemen Ramen (4/5): This was a bit of a letdown compared to my first visit because: the soup was not hot enough and the thin slice of meat in the bowl was less impressive. The noodles were superb (cold as supposed to be). There's chunks of meat in the broth that were tender! Half soft boiled egg.

I don’t give 10s often but WOW no wait on weekday, quick service and generous portion + solid $30 ramen w app deal the spicy tonkotsu ramen had such deep flavor and spice as well as the most juicy pork portion and karage chicken was made with love. definitely coming back !

Delicious! Had the lunch set Tan Tan Ramen + Spicy Tuna Roll + Gyoza. Value for money. Great ambience and service. Walk-in alone. Sat at the bar. Table for one.

Fantastic food, fantastic service. The ramen is easily some of the best I’ve ever had, and the people were so kind and accommodating. 10/10 I will be back.

Very good tan tan men and popcorn shrimp! Thought the staff were overly strict on seating policy even though the restaurant had space (eg needing full party, asking pairs to sit shoulder to shoulder). May just do takeaway next time.

Incredible broth. The tonkotsu pork both was so smooth, and creamy. The unique thin shaved chasu was incredible. Staff were really friendly, and service was excellent.

Really good ramen! It’s slightly too fatty and oily but a solid 8/10. The fried chicken was a bit disappointing, size of the meat wasn’t at a good ratio. The eggplant was really good, nice miso dressing. The Spider Crab Buns was a nice surprise, good crunch to go with the soft bun. Overall, solid!

The tonkatsu ramen was okay. Very standard. But the place smells sooo musty and like mildew. Felt sick being in there. They need to work on the air circulation.

Nice ramen shop in the area, 2nd location with first locate on 14 & 8th? Much more traditional and better than the branch of michelin rated ramen shop closer to dumbo that closed down. Trypical menu selection got Takoyaki and Tonkotsu. Pleasant wait staff and cozy place, nice spot to grab a bite after hanging out at brooklyn bridge piers.

In a cute but restaurant-light neighborhood, where most local options are brunch-heavy or bakeries, Kogane is a gem. Small spot, adorned by wood walls and benches, super close to subway, with great food and service. Seaweed salad & Spicy Miso Ramen were both great and staff was attentive. Menu has a ton of options (from ramen to kid-friendly favorites like fries & wings), including many beers & sakes. High chairs available for the little ones. Priced for enjoyment without regret. Will definitely be back!

While this location is more accessible compared to the Manhattan location it's smaller. The White Truffle Ramen had good noodles but I was expecting a more potent truffle flavor. Overall it's still a nice place to get ramen.

The best!!! Loved everything about this place, from the hole in the wall vibe to the excellent service to every bite exceeding my expectations. The octopus balls are a must (just trust me!). The kimchi ramen is a dupe for a favorite I’ve had before and I loved every spoonful of that amazing broth. This will become a regular spot for sure. Also love that they have a small selection of wines and sake but also the regular sodas. Absolutely delicious, could not recommend more!

Went to Kogane for lunch, and we enjoyed it. The service was quick, and the staff was friendly and attentive. We enjoyed our bowls, and the portions were just right. Would like to visit again when we are in the neighborhood.

Loved this place!! The service is fantastic, and very friendly. The ramen selection is very straightforward and gives you a lot of customizable options. The food comes out fast and was very delicious! Had to finish the night with some mochi ice-cream! I would 100% come back again! They also have a great vegan selection!

Used to always stop here for lunch when I was working in Park Slope. I love the Tonkotsu here; they serve it with a very flavorful broth, and the fact that we can customize our bowls (like Ichiran style) is the best part because I prefer ramen with Al dente noodles (shiko shiko). Plus, I like my ramen a little spicy. The vibe was chill during dinner, yet cozy, and we were seated right away at 7 p.m. on Sunday, and that was impressive because they are always busy on the weekend. The service is good enough for a busy spot.

The curry ramen is to die for - so tasty!! I only wish the portion was a bit bigger. Came here on a weekday evening for 2 and had to wait ~10-15 mins to get seated. Was very busy and I don’t think they take reservations.

Ramen Danbo in Park Slope is a fantastic choice, especially if you're looking for delicious vegan options. Their vegan miso ramen is rich, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying, making it a standout dish. It's great to have a go-to spot that caters so well to different dietary preferences without compromising on taste.

The ramen is so good I ordered second serving. Didn't know what I expect, when I first enter. It's all bar seating surrounded by small tables. First place I've tried that you can specify noodle girth and chewiness. Everything is ala cart and made to order you can specify the ramen to your liking. The Chasu thinly sliced with a bit of chew and it's phenomenal.

I heard about this ramen spot from a friend and decided to stop by for an early lunch. The restaurant is cozy, with a few tables along the wall and two long bars, perfect for a casual meal for two. I ordered the tonkotsu ramen along with gyoza. There were plenty of customization options for the ramen, and I chose the spiciest version available, it did not disappoint. The bowl was beautifully presented, one of the most picturesque bowls of ramen I’ve seen, and the flavors were rich, balanced, and deeply satisfying. The gyoza, while decent, felt a bit underwhelming compared to the standout ramen. Overall, I really enjoyed my visit. I’d definitely return to try some of their other ramen options.

Classic Chashu-Pork Tonkotsu is so good !!! 10/10 Waiting for food around 15 Mins , a bit long but acceptable! Recommend , and will come again to try other dish for sure.

I tried the cold ramen at Wanpaku and it was such a unique experience—unlike anything I’ve had before! I expected it to be more like cold dipping soba, but it actually felt closer to a poke-style ramen with cuts of salmon, tuna, cucumber, octopus, ikura, etc; on top of ramen noodles and then you pour the sauce over the dish yourself — mixed with the radish, seafood/mint topping, it was really refreshing and flavorful. The ingredients could have been a bit fresher, but overall I enjoyed the nice interior, the food was refreshing, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Definitely worth trying the cold ramen for something different!

Cute space and you can tell they care about the food that comes out. Everything smells great and beautiful plating. In talking with the team it’s nice to hear it’s becoming more farm to table - you can definitely taste the difference from other places in the area. Loved the heirloom tomatoes dish- definitely feels like summer in a dish with the pink tangerines! (Pictured ) they also have a cool looking bar hidden in the back that was packed. Would highly recommend if you’re in the area - worth the visit 🙌🏼

Super solid ramen spot in Greenpoint! We’ll definitely be back. The noodles and charred pork in the ramen were especially good. The truffle fries were fine, not a standout for us. It’s nice they have a selection of cocktails from the hidden pearl that you can order from the menu.

It used to be my favorite ramen spot, one of the best fries but unfortunately something happened recently, change of menu, not sure if staff/chef changed, but suddenly the fries were coated in some super salted spice, ramen that used to be strong flavor was over salted, and chilli oil which used to be top notch was just tasteless and again super salted and not spicy like it used to be, as a bonus I got food poisoning. No thank you

Really good place! They have Chirashi cold noodles which is fresh fish with noodles — absolutely 10/10 highly recommend if you can find it! They give you a ton of seafood too. Have to come back for some of the other options, everything looked great and the interior did too.

Great Japanese spot in Williamsburg for ramen and other bites. The Shoyu ramen with pork was good and the chicken sandwich was decent, but wish the fries were just a little bit better. Extensive menu, would be interested in coming back to try other items. Heard good things about the karaage and curry.

This is one of the best ramen in the area. Flavors are well balanced and deep in texture. A variety of Japanese whiskeys, beers, and sake. Food presentation is enticing. Highly recommend wanpaku for their ramen dishes.

One of my favorite dry ramen spots. It’s so good and service/ambiance is great too. Nice upscale feel that’s great for dates. Definitely get a reservation. Don’t miss this place, especially the truffle egg sandwich, sea urchin ramen, and their creative cocktails. Been here a few times and always excited to come back. Food: Outstanding and flavorful! Their apps are so good- Truffle Egg Sandwich is luscious and sooooo delicious. Melts in your mouth and makes you want to order 5 more. Their Spicy Tuna is great too. Although the tuna and oysters are smaller portions. For mains, do not miss the the Sea Urchin Ramen! Soooooo good. I usually like soup ramens but NR has the BEST dry ramen. It’s worth the price every time. Drinks: Their cocktails are delicious! Creative and different each time I go. Always a spin on classics and some of their creative kicks too. Keeps you on your toes to see what’s next. Vibes: Good space and not too crowded. The tables aren’t squeezed together and the acoustics make it easy for people to talk but it doesn’t echo the whole restaurant. It’s speakeasy vibes and intimate, yet fairly spacious with plenty of chit chat around you. Their bar seating is spacious too.

NR is a beautiful blend of a ramen restaurant and cocktail bar, and they really know how to create a great local vibe. The atmosphere is stylish yet relaxed, and it’s clear this place is loved by the neighborhood regulars. The food is creative and well-prepared, and everything pairs nicely with their impressive selection of drinks. I think this is a place meant to be enjoyed with good cocktails and good company, rather than just for ramen alone. If you’re looking for a pure ramen experience, there might be other options in New York — but if you want amazing service, great ambiance, and a fun night out, NR is definitely worth visiting.

I really enjoyed the Omani Old Fashioned cocktail and the deviled eggs — they were rich and full of flavor. The Sapporo ramen was a bit too salty for my taste, but the Kyoto ramen had a fresh and delicious broth that I really liked

I came here for dinner one evening and was pleasantly surprised by my experience! Located in the UES, this Japanese-fusion restaurant is a delightful find and great spot for a date night. The interior gives off speak-easy vibes and is a lot more spacious than I expected. Service here is pretty quick, friendly, and attentive. Their menu has a wide variety of appetizers and their mains focus on Japanese ramen and soup curries. They also have a unique menu of cocktails that are all so fun (definitely a must-try!). We got their Happy Hour seafood tower, uni ramen, and wagyu ramen alongside a couple of their cocktails. Their seafood tower was delicious and a great deal during HH. I loved their soupless uni and wagyu ramen and both were special in their own way. The wagyu ramen came with bone marrow and was full of flavor and so rich. The uni in the uni ramen wasn't the most buttery, but it was still good nonetheless and I loved the addition of roe and seaweed into the dish. Their cocktails were so fun and one of them (I believe it was the Botanical Garden) doubled as our dessert as it came with shaved ice haha. Great spot and I highly recommend.

Came here for happy hour, they have $1 oysters which is a great choice. The drinks are made crafted by a mixologist and it did not miss. If you’re looking for a great date night vibe or just a low key place to go out with friends this is a nice place to visit.

This was such an amazing dinner spot. When we sat down we ordered some cocktails that were so tasty and enjoyable (and aesthetically looked amazing too!) Once our food started coming out everything tasted phenomenal; Each dish we ate was so delicious and fantastic. This dinner was absolutely incredible! I would definitely return. I want to make it a point to share that the service was outstanding. Rei was our waitress, and she went above and beyond. She was friendly, informative, and attentive and truly made our experience at NR even better.

NR is one of our favorite restaurants to go to. The food is really good and always consistent, the staff are friendly, and the service pretty quick! I love the ambience as well, and their well-stocked bar is gorgeous!

My husband and I dine in this afternoon. The food was good n the meat was lean n good n tasty. Then I order n tske out one for my son . It was DX.. 4 pcs of meat. When we got home, we realized the food was totally different!! The meat were all FAT! The soup was extremely little. Why it was so inconsistent on the food quality. It was like cheating!!! $18++ unfortunately I have only pictures of dining in. My son throw out the meat before I can take a picture. I think the women were trained to only give quality n genuine food for dining in. As for take out..... they try to reduce whatever is necessary to cut cost n take customers for granted! Japanese owners n culture are not like that. The owner must be.......?????

If you're looking for an authentic Japanese experience, you're not finding it here. Setagaya is part of the food court of Japanese Village which is a collection of 7-8/10 food. You'll be paying prices you'd expect to pay for mediocre food at conventions (15-18 per dish) but the food itself is worth 12-16 at most. (Still tastes better than convention food) Except for Setagaya. It's a viciously decent ramen. The most B+, the absolute 6-7/10. This is better than the slop they serve at Kyuramen and around the same level as Ajisen. The broth is solid though they might underfill if you're doing takeout. The noodles are good, the portion size is fine. If you think the chashu pork belly is too fatty, your head's definitely far up your rear. They almost always have a 30-40% fat cap per piece as pork belly should be. Their spicy miso is good, their black garlic is good. There's also nice vegan options. The texture of the noodles is acceptable, both their egg noodles and thin ones. The service isn't something insanely intimate like an actual Japanese ramen bar, it's a packed food court staffed with people that are ramen equivalents of Subway employees. You'll definitely be getting better food here than those farce Asian fusion "Japanese" restaurants, I'll tell you that much.

Photo 1 : Spicy Miso Ramen Photo 2 : Tsukemen (Dipping Ramen) I recently stumbled upon a ramen place that's both fantastic and easy on the wallet 🍜. The broth is rich and the noodles have the perfect texture, which is truly amazing to taste! Finding a seat during the lunch rush can be a real challenge, it's always packed with people 😮. However, the wait is totally worth it for a bowl of such deliciousness! If you're a ramen lover like me, definitely give this spot a try, you won't regret it 💯.

The ramen has a deep, rich flavor — comforting from the very first sip. But the best part was the staff: super friendly, attentive without being intrusive, and always with a smile. You can tell they truly enjoy what they do and create a warm, welcoming atmosphere from the moment you walk in. 💛 Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to. #RamenLovers #SetagayaBrooklyn

This review is from my 9 year old son as I don't eat pork. He said it was amazing. His first time trying fresh ramen. There were some ingredients he wasn't used to, but he raved about the broth and noodles. Wish there was a kids portion of just 1 piece of meat, broth and noodles.

Found a piece of paper in my ramen. They skipped my order and served the customers who came after me because they had lost my receipt order. Well, I guess the receipt fell into the cabbage box next to the cashier and came with my soup.

Had vegetarian spicy miso ramen and the taste was amazing, the broth is so rich and not too salty or sweet like the other vegan ramens. I just wish that they have LED lights or something to announce the order number that’s ready. The wait is long as they don’t have much employees too. But the ramen taste’s worth the wait.

Tried the tsukemen and tonkatsu jiro ramen at TabeTomo. The noodles were chewy and had a great texture, but tsukemen broth was extremely salty. I couldn't finish it, which was disappointing given the good noodle quality. Also we found a hair in Tonkatsu Jiro ramen… Overall, not something I'd go back for.

COME HERE - if you want the most full bodied, rich, and flavorful bowl of warm ramen. I ordered the seared mackerel appetizer and the tonkotsu chashu tsukemen. The fish was flavorful, satisfying and refreshing. Plus you get the added bonus of the torch at the table. The people next to us ordered the megamori tsukemen challenge. It was MASSIVE and gave everyone quite a good piece of entertainment for the night! No reservations, so prepare to wait OR get there on the earlier side. It was a Saturday at 5:30p and we waited about 15 mins! Enjoy !!!

First of all, the environment was very clean, atmosphere was very nice, quiet but you can still talk, the staff was very hospitable and welcoming. Second, appetizers was great, the karaage was insanely juicy and tender, prob one of the best karaage i’ve ever had, would recommend, the chicken skin was crispy and flavorful also very nice, the takoyaki was a bit too sourly on first bite due to the amount of sauce on it but besides that it was a pleasing osaka style takoyaki. Third, the jiro style ramen was nice, me and my friend had the tonkatsu chashu ramen, very flavorful especially with the chilli, can taste a bit salty after some bites but overall was a pleasing ramen, also the portion was HUGE you thought you’re almost finished but there’re still plenty inside the sound, the tonkatsu chashu tsukemen was also decent but it was even more salty than the ramen, so I’ll personally only get the ramen next time. Overall, would recommend, very nice appetizers with fairly priced ramen for the portion, the staff was hospitable the environment was enjoyable. Definitely would revisit. -sawa

In search for affordable new york ramen I ended up at this place. First of all, portion sizes are hugggee!? I went with my dad and we could hardly finish one big bowl of ramen together (we did have some delished torched mackerel that our waiter recommended on the side though). I really loved all the toppings. Probably the best tofu I've tasted, it was soft and silky, but not in a geletinous jelly kind of way. Just perfect. The rich and flavourfull broth was really to die for. Lovely food for a really affordable price. (btw the place was full of Asians, and if anyone is particular abou t their ramen it's them)

As a tsukemen in NYC, this place was great. Noodle does have a unique bounce to it. Similar to one in Japan. But your in nyc so don’t expect Japan price. Sat at the bar, good atmosphere. Large portion of noodle with a huge bowl of soup. I would advise the gf/wife just get the original tsukemen with single chasiu and add an extra egg. Dont get the cha siu tsukemme. or else you gonna have too many food. Or you can pack it to go home. That works too. Total meal: 2 noodles, 2 appetizer, 1 beer. Walked away 94$ but we got noodle packed to go for the midnight snack.

The best ramen I’ve had in NYC. The broth is flavorful, the noodles are perfectly cooked, and everything is consistently great. Friendly service and a comfortable space. Definitely worth coming back.

Everything is delicious here! I always get the tonkotsu chasu tsukemen. But today I had a sip of my friend's yasai tsukemen and it was unbelievably flavorful. I'll have to get it next time

Second time coming here over the last 2 years of visiting. First time was better, this time was mid. The shoyu (basic) ramen was waaaaaay too salty, although tasty and yummy. The curry chicken was too spicy and also quite salty! There was a lot of bean sprouts mixed into the noodles, so it feels like you get less noodles versus the other bowls. They do have a policy that it is one order per person at least. So order appetizers if you can’t finish one bowl. They are generous portions. Service amazing and friendly.

Fun atmosphere with lots of benches around the store. Might be hard to grab a spot when it’s busy. Prices are very reasonable and orders come out pretty fast. Ramen was decent — the ingredients didn’t work as well as I expected, but the broth was fine and the portion sizes are very large and filling.

Spacious spot for ramens with a wide variety of options including spicy and curry ramens. Do note the curry ramen is very filling and can be rather hearty so I would prefer it on a cooler day. Service is attentive and helpful.

Super salty. Price is expensive $22 for a bowl of salty ramen. Soup is mediocre and can only taste the saltiness. I literally poured my water into the ramen.

Most authentic ramen I’ve had in NYC! Affordable and extremely filling. Gets busy once it opens so get there at noon

This place is a hidden gem amongst the large number of ramen spots in lower Manhattan. Their style is a nice change of pace from the very carefully crafted tonkotsu bowls that are popular. Seems like they fire everything in a wok and deglaze it with the broth and chosen tare. It's then dumped on a thicker curly yellow noodle to create a giant hot, thick, and delicious mess. The servers are very friendly and accommodating.

This is a small cozy ramen place with 4-5 benches in the seating area. They serve delicious ramen bowls and each category tastes different and unique. The noodles are also very tasty and definitely recommended on a cold winter night. This is a walk in or a take out type of restaurant.

My sister, partner and I went to Shinka for some ramen. We ordered the Beef bone broth ramen and the Birria ramen. Bone broth was to die for, ugh. Birria was okay still tasty but it doesn’t compare. Helen was our server and bartender. She is amazing! She gave us have some free shots. If you visit ask for Helen.

This restaurant truly deserves five stars! The staff are friendly and attentive, providing excellent service that makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The food is delicious, with every dish prepared to perfection. The beef bone marrow ramen, in particular, is absolutely incredible—rich, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. The environment is warm, inviting, and well-kept, making it a perfect place to enjoy a great meal with friends or family.

We came here for dinner, and I decided to try the bone marrow ramen. The broth was absolutely fantastic—rich, flavorful, and perfectly thick. However, the noodles weren’t quite to my liking; I personally prefer thicker noodles that could complement the hearty broth better. The restaurant itself has a laid-back and cozy atmosphere, making it a great spot to unwind and enjoy a comforting meal. Overall, it’s a solid ramen shop with unique offerings.

Blown away like a torpedo out of the water 💥 💥 Michelin star quality BROTH with beef bone marrow. 🥇🥇 Ramen was good but the broth, oh the broth, no words …. 🥹 I grew up here and ate pretty much at all the Asian hot spots from Mott St to cheap eats on Christie St. I wouldn’t have to pay more than $3.50 - $12 for a bowl of noodles. So $21 for this beef bone marrow ramen aka GYUKOTSU is damn excessive but rightly justified. I waited 15 minutes and well worth it 👍👍 I can devour this for lunch 7 days straight 🏆 First time here and I sat at the beer garden mistakenly. A more chill & laid back Japan setting is a quick walk up the steps. 2 establishments sharing 2 types of cuisine ✅✅

The ribs was very good. The nachos was from fried wonton skins which was very crispy and light and the toppings was a good match. We had the spicy tonkotsu ramen which was mildly spicy. The broth was good but didn’t need all the red oil on top that had no purpose. I removed as much as I could. The beef with marrow rant was delicious. Had a good dinner. Staff was friendly.

We were so blown away with the great customer service and phenomenal brunch that we came back later (the same day!) for an early dinner! They also have an awesome selection of beers on tap. During our first visit in the early afternoon -I opted for a rice bowl, my husband had steak tacos and my cousin had the wagyu sliders. Everything was absolutely delicious. Mahmod and Nahid were top notch waiters. They kept checking in with us to make sure all was well. It was a very relaxed and welcoming environment. Nahid and Mahmod enjoyed telling us about the different dishes on the menu and answered our questions without hesitation. They insisted that the next time we come back we try the Ramen. After we left the restaurant, we "worked up our appetite" again by exploring the Museum of Modern Art- so we decided to go back to Shinka! Since it was later in the day, the restaurant was more packed, but Nahid and Mahmod remembered us and welcomed us back with a friendly greeting. The atmosphere was alive with conversation and had a really chill vibe. I ordered the Bone Broth Ramen, my husband had the Wagyu sliders this time and we ordered the gyoza for appetizers. They food came out in a reasonable time. I was blown away by the Bone Broth Ramen. Like. Literally. I was almost emotional. Words can't describe the rich flavors I experienced. Eating the ramen felt like I was experiencing an outer body experience. The ramen and broth was delicious,delicate and rich. My husband was also mesmerized by the Ramen. Now let's talk about these Wagyu sliders. My cousin didn't offer us any when he had them and NOW we understand why. Those things are PHENOMENAL. You get three of them in an order and you will want more! The gyoza were also a hit!!! I have never seen gyoza presented the was that Shinka plates them. Underneath the crispy topping (which also tastes delicious!) are some the most delightful tasting gyoza . I would definitely recommend visiting this restaurant if you get a chance to visit the Chinatown area of New York City.

Takoyaki has 6 balls and had barely any octopus in it. Nicely crisp and good flavor but the insides were a bit gooey and very soft almost as if it were undercooked. We also got the Shinka Tonkotsu Ramen and Beef Bone Marrow Gyukotsu ramen. IMO the tonkotsu ramen was better, just more flavorful. The bone marrow just tasted salty 😐 FYI Shinka and Beer Garden share a kitchen downstairs so wait time was extremely long… they also are probably understaffed so wait time for food is even longer.

Got chicken pai tan ramen, birria ramen, spicy pork buns and seaweed salad. All were delicious with great portions. I ordered an extra chicken ramen to have leftovers and when i pulled it out of the fridge the next day to reheat, i was so impressed by how gelatinous the broth was, which means it’s really well-made bone broth. Their soup is legit! So comforting and also healthy.

Really good ramen that hits the spot. They are not sheisty with the broth like other ramen places. Hearty serving and I opted for extra charshu. Fried calamari appetizer was also delicious. Seating is tricky. Not very cozy restaurant. But if you’re looking for good ramen with a no frills vibe this is the place. Better for casual and eating alone. Not a date place as the atmosphere feels very bare bones… not in a minimal Japanese way but more in a cold cheap deli kind of way. But the ramen is 👍🏼👍🏼

Ramen was great, as were the salmon tartare and kimchi. Service was friendly and fast. The only thing we didn’t enjoy was the loud Spanish music 🎶 coming from the kitchen. Nothing against the music, but it didn’t really fit the concept of a ramen place. We’ll be back.

Ramen was fantastic (the veggie miso is STELLAR) but the people are even more wonderful. An all-star kitchen, we were never without water, and it was just a fun vibe for a casual sit-down meal. 1000/10, can't wait to come back and try more food!

Met friends here for dinner the other night and it was phenomenal! Tried something different and got their Birria Ramen and it did not disappoint. Great Mexican flavors combined with delicious ramen noodles. Service got a little slow towards the end due to a large influx of mobile orders but still worth the wait!

I had their signature ramen and their classic, friend Rice and Kate age (fried chicken). Food was delicious friend rice was very tasty, couldn't get enough of it. Now their ramen, their pork slices practically melt mouth (Homer Simpson drool), soup base it's so rich & creamy for their signature dish. Will Def be coming back here, especially with the chilly weather around the corner?

I was walking around the neighborhood after a long day at work and struck gold. I got the kimchi ramen and it was delicious. I loved the portion size and the Ozeki One Cup was a perfect addition to my meal. I will definitely be back! Forgot to add… The staff were super friendly and attentive! Which is always a big plus :)

It is a vegan Japanese restaurant, part of the Ippudo chain from Manhattan. The food is great for Japanese taste, but lacks spiciness if you are looking for something hot. The prices are a bit steep, but the ambience is great. We ordered a lot of Ramen and some appetizers. Everything was good but we were looking for something spicy, so were a bit disappointed. Overall the atmosphere was nice and the service was fine, but the food could have been better.

Ippudo V Brooklyn is a true hidden gem! The Japanese-style noodles were spot on—perfectly chewy with such an authentic feel. The broth was unbelievably good, rich and flavorful in a way I didn’t expect from a vegan spot. On top of that, the roll was also excellent—fresh, well-balanced, and beautifully presented. The combination of flavors makes this place stand out, and it proves that vegan dining can be just as satisfying and delicious as any traditional ramen shop. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Japanese flavors with a plant-based twist!

Delightful experience! The food, service and the atmosphere were fantastic. One of the best tasting Ramen I’ve had and was kind of surprised to see them dedicate the entire restaurant to Vegan Japanese cuisine. We tried Daichi no Miso and Pla-ton, both were great but the miso based was incredible. Tip: order a side of their spicy paste (karaka paste) to elevate the flavor. This place is a must visit!

The food was *so* good. We got the gyoza and mushroom apps to start and they were both delicious. We also got the pla-ton, which I’d def get again, and the hakuna matata, which was great but I’d prob only get again with additional toppings On top of the great food - ambience was lovely and service was great.

Really cute place and the staff are very nice. The food is OUTSTANDING. The Maitake tempura was perfectly cooked and the curry sauce it comes with is good enough to drink. The gyoza filling is delicious and tastes like real meat. The Hakuna Matata ramen comes with the natto on the side, so if you aren’t a fan you can leave it out. I love all thing truffle so the shojin ramen was a must-try for me. The crispy onions soak up the broth really well. All of the ramen dishes have slightly different noodle shapes which is a great detail. Definitely would eat here again.

The restaurant is ideal for vegetarians and vegans. We went in to give it a try and it was excellent. The service was courteous, the place was clean, and the dishes tasted wonderful. Even the kids enjoyed it.

Incredible ramen with top quality ingredients and lots of umami! Superior to most ramen places (even the original Ipuudo) as they don't use processed food, sauces or any added refined sugar to the ramen broth and ingredients! The staff were attentive and diligent to triple check dietary restrictions. So glad to hear no refined sugar was used for the ramen, cucumber appetizer, and maitake tempura, unusual for Japanese cuisine. We also tried the natto which was not as strong as much more tolerable. Highly recommend and definitely coming back!

This restaurant is very nice and has super nice service. The prices are a bit expensive for what you get food wise, but this is expected for being close to midtown NYC. I got the Miso Ramen, which was good and some Brooklyn Kura Sake which I was pleasantly surprised to see they had! Then glass serving of the Sake was great! They gave me a big glass so that was definitely worth the money.

Once seated, I love that the words that came out of my server’s lips were, “Take your time (in ordering), a great reminder to slow down. In NYC, it’s always what’s next, or “please hurry.” A reminder to take my time was very much appreciated. The food came very quickly, though, within a few minutes. The serving size is good for one. I had the Akamaru and pork bun, which were both extremely good. It’s been a while since I said I’d come back and have this ramen again.

They have quite a few vegetarian Ramen options to choose from! 4-5 the last time I checked. The pork buns are, of course, the highlight of the entire experience. The Ramen closer to the camera is the Nirvana Classic, which is vegetarian. We had the tart chocolate ganache for dessert, which was really good. (like everything else) We liked the pork buns so much we ordered two more to go. 😭

This is a hidden little bespoke restaurant that feels like a cross between high-end dining and a little hole-in-the-wall ramen shop. I had high hopes as we sat down, our waiter was prompt without rushing us. But the food was a bit disappointing. Neither of our meals were bad or worth speaking to the waiter about, but they lacked much depth of flavor and barely contained anything besides noodles an a couple small pieces of meat. I have had better ramen in ND.

Ippudo is a great ramen spot! The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and the menu has lots of options. I really recommend the Shiromaru ramen. The place looks nice and the service was quick and friendly.

I can't stress enough how good the ramen is here. Legit top five in NYC, hands down. The Chashu pork in my dish was mind-blowing. Just get it and you're welcome. Oh yeah, pretty wide selection of sake. A tad overpriced but for the location, it was to be expected. The ramen wasn't overpriced though. If you just want to eat and get out, you can fill 2 bellies with $60 bucks or less. 😍

Ippudo is truly a Ramen institution in NYC. The food, service and satisfaction is consistent and it’s a well run restaurant. I really enjoyed their spicy miso & nirvana ramen. Portions are plenty & the sake options are also great to pair. The ambiance is alright. Overall a solid spot for your next Ramen craving.

I went to Bua tonight and had such a fun experience! The food was a little above average—not the best Thai I’ve ever had, but definitely tasty. What really stood out was the service—our server was so attentive, friendly, and made the night feel special. The vibes are absolutely immaculate: great energy, stylish decor, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to linger. The drinks are definitely a highlight here. They’re over-the-top in the best way—colorful, creative, and perfect for celebrating. Whether it’s a date night, girls’ night, or birthday, this spot makes the evening feel festive. I’d definitely come back for the ambiance and cocktails, and to enjoy another fun night out!

Second time coming here, and after ordering the same exact items, I can say the experience is consistently fantastic!! This restaurant is an ideal date night starter. The music is tasteful and upbeat, but not too overwhelming. The atmosphere is very photogenic, with so much beautiful decor. Every drink and food item, down to even a simple shot, is presented with lovely accoutrements. While the seating is close to other guests, it is still very comfortable. Highlights for me include the beautiful drinks in fruit (my favorite being the Piña Colada, they can be with or without alcohol!), the fried calamari, chicken curry puffs, pad kee mau with crispy duck, pineapple fried rice with crab/shrimp, and massaman curry with beef belly. A couple reviews mention improvements to service, however as an Asian American the style of service seems, for lack of a better description, typical of Asian restaurant service. Highly recommend eating here!

My fiancé and I were very excited to come and eat here, especially since he has a severe nut allergy and because Thai food is something he’s always had to avoid. We both loved our meals, and while the service could be a little better, it didn’t take away from our experience. The restaurant also has a gorgeous interior. Would definitely come back with friends and/or family, and is definitely a really nice date night spot!

The lychee ice tea was really good, and the drinks looked fantastic but the ramen was to so so. And the California rolls tasted like mostly mayo it was weird. We didn't dare order anything else to eat. Definitely a place for drinks though. The decor was pretty

Visited for the first time — the ambience was amazing and the drinks were absolutely fantastic! The service was also good and staff were friendly. However, the food taste was just okay, nothing too special. Overall, a nice place to hang out for drinks and vibe, but the food could be better.

First off, this place is cool in the decoration department. I love all the floral arrangements and lighting. It's pretty without being too overwhelming (to me at least). Second, everyone needs to come here. This Thai/Asian cuisine is seriously some of the best I've had! I'm never disappointed when I come here. The sushi rolls are large and worth the prices, the soups are delicious, the fish is fresh—nearly everything on the menu is a good choice. The presentation is also gorgeous. Food pics are a must haha. Overall, this place is such a win and I love coming here whenever I'm around UES. 10/10.

I visited this Thai restaurant for the first time last week, and the atmosphere was even more beautiful in person filled with flowers and such a warm, inviting energy. The presentation stood out too. I loved that the pina colada was served in a pineapple, such a fun touch and perfect for photos. The food was delicious my top picks were the sriracha fried crab and the crunchy rice with spicy tuna. Both were flavorful and memorable. The service was excellent as well, with friendly staff who really added to the experience. Overall, I had a great time here. It’s definitely a spot I’d recommend for date night or just a special night out.

Delicious! I love their chewy thin noodles. Very dense and nice mouth feel. I will be back! If you’re curious about what I ordered (as pictured), the Ramen I ordered was their signature triple chicken ramen. Was very flavorful.

It’s safe to say, this is the best ramen shop i have been to. I got the tonkotsu ramen and it was amazing. The noodles were just the right portion. The gyoza was spicy but it wasn’t too spicy, which made it delicious😋😋. Not only was the food good, the service was too. The person serving us was rly kind when taking our order and constantly checked to see if we were ok!! Rly good ramen shop!

Great atmosphere, great music selection and amazing ramen. I had the shoyu and it was so rich and flavorful, noodles cooked well and the pork was just right. Such a great place to eat on a rainy or gloomy day, very comforting and friendly service!

This was one of the best ramen shops we've tried Manhattan. We absolutely loved everything and some of the innovations were really unique. I thought the half eggs were cooked perfectly, which to me is one of the most important parts of Ramen. I also really loved the sour peach drink and the pomegranate citrus

The store is quite small, so you might need to wait for your turn—but it’s definitely worth it. The food is absolutely delicious, and the drink I ordered (see attached photo) was just as satisfying. The staff are warm and welcoming, though the cozy space might make you feel a bit shy about staying too long. I just wish I had more time to sit back and truly enjoy my lunch.

We stopped for lunch. The place has limited seating, so we had to wait 5 minutes to be seated. We teied several dishes. All that we tried was amazing . Except when they say spicy it is spicy so be careful

​If you're in the Financial District and craving ramen, you absolutely have to check out Kuu Ramen. It’s got a super satisfying menu, and the service is seriously top-notch. ​The food here is awesome. We tried two bowls and loved them both: the Beef Ramen was super rich and tasty, and the Spicy Miso Ramen had a nice, deep kick of heat that was just right. The best part? The portions are huge! They're so generous that you definitely get your money's worth and won't leave hungry. It’s seriously satisfying comfort food. ​You also have to talk about the people working there. The whole staff is amazingly friendly. They're welcoming and attentive, which just makes the whole lunch or dinner experience so much better and more relaxed. ​THis place is a total win in FiDi.

I came here for dinner with my brother. Not a bad spot, the happy hour prices are a good deal in my opinion. The Ramen was okay, the meat could have been a bit better like more tender. Overall not bad for the price and service was pretty good.

10/10 sushi and more!! Their menu is so extensive it was really hard to choose, but the mango white tuna rolls and spicy salmon crunch rolls were amazing, as well as the edamame and pork gyoza. Their happy hour is truly the best, we got 12 rolls for $10 instead of 10 rolls for $21 because it was happy hour. There's so much seating inside, two floors of it. The staff is so lovely and the wait was so short.

A serviceable ramen joint, the broths are tasty, though not quite as flavorful as others I've had. Noodles were cooked well and toppings were fresh and well prepared. The maki rolls we had were a bit hastily put together, but pretty good. Service was friendly, albeit a little slow. We waited about 25 minutes for our order to arrive at the table.

Service was great! Our server was so friendly! Food was spectacular. Our kids are everything they ordered. Portions were generous and the sushi was fresh. The ramen was perfectly balanced. Food came quick.

Amazing food. Amazing location. Amazing service. AND fabulous prices. My husband and I came across this restaurant during their happy hour which made the food sooooo affordable. Also, our server Wenti Chiu was super friendly and helpful. She always made sure we were taken care of. Next time I’m in the city I’m definitely going there again!

I really like coming to Zen for their happy hour specials (4-8pm every day, including weekends!). The prices are really good on a wide variety of food and drinks, but I primarily come to eat their yummy sushi rolls. Each roll on the happy hour menu is only $5.20 (with card, $5 if cash) and comes with 6 pieces. The fish always tastes really fresh, and some of my favourite highlights I've had are the salmon (and spicy salmon) and the yellowtail. The service is very friendly and prompt, and while the restaurant is always bustling, there is plenty of space (they have two floors), so I've also never had to wait to be seated here before. I actually tried the ramen here once before (maybe 8 years ago or so... just in passing...) so I don't have a strong memory of it haha but it seems to be quite tasty just looking around at other tables! I would be keen to come give it another try, too :)

I come here for happy hour all the time and it is amazing! $5 drinks and appetizers as well as sushi. The place is clean and the food is great! So good I forgot to take a picture before eating. Oops!

Came here for the first time because I love ramen and I’m always on the search for the best ramen. This wasn’t the best I’ve ever had but it was good/average/okay. I would recommend coming here at least once to check it out. Our server wasn’t very attentive. She took a while to greet us and I had to go get her for the check. She also didn’t check up on us frequently.

One of our best friends took us here for my birthday, and it was an amazing experience. We had the Birthday Boat that came with a Birthday Ramen and the first round of cocktails. Kai was an amazing part of the whole experience!

Absolutely delicious! The spicy miso ramen is out of this world — rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Sushi was super fresh and tasty. Great selection of Japanese snacks and sides, plus affordable and solid beer options. Zutto hits the sweet spot between quality and price — definitely one of the best value spots around. Highly recommended for a laid-back yet authentic Japanese-American dining experience!

everything there was amazing!!! their lunch deals are so good, and the sushi boat is a must experience 💗💗

First time here, I was looking for a place to celebrate my birthday with my friends , definitely this place it was the right one, love sushi and the sushi was delicious and yummy!!!

I visited between the lunch and dinner rushes. Spacious dining room. Quaint patio. Friendly service. Good food!

This was my first time visiting Zutti restaurant and the atmosphere was amazing but the server we had was the exact opposite. I was insulted when I tried to order fresh noodles from the menu for my ramen and the server was confused and then I pointed to the menu item listing fresh noodles. She then proceed to say that all of their noodles was fresh and I said well it looks like it’s a different option as opposed to thick or thin noodles. She then said “OH COME ON!” Insulting me and making me feel stupid when I was just giving feedback about the menu. The food tasted poor after that experience and it’s safe to say I will never come back to Zutti based on this experience. Thanks for making me feel dumb and making me feel humiliated in front of my family. :(

Really nice to finally have some delicious ramen in a city full of average ramen. Snacks and sushi are also quite tasty. Highlights include Beef Sukiyaki Ramen, Spicy Ajisen Ramen, Spicy Yellowtail Roll, Shrimp Tempura, Spring Rolls, and Spicy Beef Ramen. The kitchen is impressively quick - food is served just minutes after placing your order. Don't think you can make reservations but walking in has resulted in instant seating both times I've visited so far. Keep in mind that gratuity is automatically included through an 18% service fee.

First time coming here & im happy with my choice had to wait 5 mins for the waitress but she was sweet & friendly. The food was delicious & made fresh. Nice big portion & if you dont understand something they will explain it. Ive been to other ramen but not like this. Recommend & will come back.

Absolutely amazing! Delicious food, very friendly service, and reasonable prices. Definitely will return!!!

The food was good. Standard Japanese curry with pork katsu. The karaage was really juicy but did not come with mayo so u have to ask for it else it comes with Thai sweet chilly sauce which is a bit odd. Overall was decent, will come back again to try their ramen next time. 7/10

My son loves ramen, so while visiting New York, we had to go to Chinatown. The portions were huge, so come hungry. Service was on point, stayed refilling our drinks and checking in on us.

Brian was amazing. Our friend took us there to celebrate my birthday and honestly the vibes and the food was excellent! I would recommend to anyone, If I get the chance to come back to the city you can catch me here!

They must eat their own food, because this is a super tasty Ramen place! Start with gyoza (fried dumplings), then any ramen. I ordered Tom Yum fusion and it was bomb! Large portions, so I like to share with my wifey. A+ chillin atmosphere with amazing playlist. Super attentive service from waitress.

I ate at Zurutto 2 days ago and had a terrible experience. First, I found a cooked piece of ramen in my salmon don. There was clearly some cross-contamination going on. Second, I looked towards the open kitchen, where I saw the cook digging in his ear with his finger!!! Absolutely disgusting! This is a sanitary issue. I stopped eating and immediately asked for the check. I told the waitress about the piece of ramen in my salmon don. She said she'd make the agedashi tofu appetizer I ordered free because of the piece of ramen I found in my salmon don, which doesn't make any sense. I told her it was the salmon don that I found the piece of ramen in and she said that's why she made the agedashi tofu free. Shouldn't the salmon don be the one discounted? I'm not coming back here again and I don't recommend this place. After leaving, I saw a lot of other reviews of people finding things like hair, insects, and a piece of a glove in their food. It's a shame because the food tasted ok… until I noticed the piece of ramen and the cook with his finger in his ear.

I ordered delivery several times. I would say this was the best place selling ramen in Manhattan. The broth was so rich and flavorful. Everything was cheaper than I expected, and even cheaper than those I used to try in Los Angeles, CA. The don was also good as well. I haven’t eaten at the restaurant so I can’t tell about the service or atmosphere, but I would recommend it

An excellent neighborhood ramen shop that specializes in chicken broth and more. Very yummy. Love the additional touch of black sesame oil. A Casual and relaxed place. One time a cute toddler just came by to say hello 🥰. The staff is great and attentive. Pricing is excellent. Can get busy 🤩. Delicious food 👍 Came in today right after they open and got to enjoy the open modern space. Very relaxing. Service team was excellent 🤓

The ramen and service at the restaurant were good BUT my friend got her ramen packed to go (the server packed it), got home, heated it up, and FOUND THE FINGERTIP OF A GLOVE INSIDE HER RAMEN. That is absolutely disgusting. It’s unclear whether it was in there when the ramen came out fresh at the table or it happened when they packed it to go. But she is mortified (I mean, who wouldn’t be). We have no idea how that even happens. UPDATE: The restaurant was very prompt in responding and they provided a full refund of our whole meal.

Fresh ingredients, huge portion sizes, reasonable prices. In truth it was extremely fresh fish and very well cooked noodles. I have no true complaints except for the fact that their “spicy” isn’t at all spicy. It was just lacking the flavor I expected, I had to added all kinds of chili oil and such that they offered but it just wasn’t spicy at all. Good service

Came here on Saturday evening with my friend. We did not have any reservations. We got lucky that it was empty place, and we sat down right away. She ordered chicken ramen i ordered eal with rice. Food came very fast. Portions were very big for us. The food was tasty. In half an hour place got really packed, luckily we already had our dinner and was leaving. Great local spot to eat ramen.

First time at this ramen place. So yesterday, after my friend and I finished painting at color me mine — we both were looking for a place to brunch, so we stumbled upon this place on Google map as it was nearby. As we enter the restaurant, the waitresses there were attentive, polite, and welcoming. We got seated really quick, then served with water and the menu. Next, as we looked over the menu, the price range was very accommodating considering the inflation now. The food was delicious, by far one of the best ramen I have had in the city. I give 5/5 stars for everything because I was impressed with the food and portions, pricing, and atmosphere. I can't wait to visit again!

I don’t know how to say it. This is hands down the BEST ramen EVER!! We got the Vegan Spicy Curry level 5 spicy. We added fried garlic, 2x Bamboo Shoots, and fried chicken curry .

From the moment we walked in, Karakatta delivered a standout experience in its small space. The cozy interior near Washington Square Park lends an inviting, almost hidden-gem vibe while the service was friendly. The menu offers a thoughtful variety including vegan / vegetarian options and spice-level customization from 1 to 5, so whether you’re after something mild or fully spicy you’re covered. Pro tip: The space is compact and can get busy during peak hours. It’s worth going a little earlier or expecting a short wait.

Hands down my favorite ramen spot in the city! The spicy ginger stamina ramen is absolutely to die for—rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Cozy vibes, warm atmosphere, and some of the best service you’ll ever find. A true gem.

Nice casual place for ramen and other Asian options. Everything we had was good and considering the casual vibe and pricing even great.

Amazing ramen. The peanut butter in the ramen was lovely and the pork had an amazing texture. Very cosy atmosphere. Make sure to chosen 1-2 if you can't tolerate spice.

Our Friday Night Spot 🍜❤️ Since discovering this place, my wife and I haven’t missed a single Friday. Out of all the ramen we’ve had in NYC—and even Japan—this one’s our champion. The stamina ramen is my go-to comfort food now. It brings back the cozy, homemade feeling of something my grandma would’ve made—hearty, rich, and full of soul. The staff are always warm and welcoming, making us feel like true regulars. It’s more than dinner—it’s our weekly ritual.

The spicy ramen is one of the best, most flavorful ramen options currently in NYC. Especially if you like a little heat, this tiny gem of a restaurant is extremely underrated. With winter coming in, this is one of our go to spots.

I must say for a Michelin restaurant the price was so decent. Especially they shave lots of truffles on the scallops dish that’s so tasty. And some caviar dishes they serve a good amount of caviar as well. We love all of the dishes that we ordered lol. We made rsvp so we got in with no wait. Rsvp totally recommended since they can get booked up. It was a walking distance from our hotel. A little less than a mile. So wasn’t bad at all. Our waiter Drew was very nice to us. He came around checked on us quite often. If I ever come back to NY again I totally would come back

Toro Ssam Bap was my favorite — we even added an extra $30 for the uni, and it was worth it. We also ordered the fried chicken, which came with caviar and a lemon dressing. The lemon juice was a bit too strong for my taste, but the ribs were delicious. Another favorite was the mushroom ramyun — I actually liked it more than the lobster myun. The lobster myun broth was a bit too heavy for me, though the lobster itself was cooked perfectly. Service was attentive.

We spent three days trying to get into Jeju while visiting NYC—walking in, joining the waitlist, and checking Resy—and finally snagged counter seats on our last night. So glad we did! The effort was absolutely worth it. The ramyun was rich, creamy, and packed with tender pork belly—easily the best I’ve ever had. I also appreciated the gluten-free noodle option. Highly recommend dining here if you get the chance—just be sure to book ahead. Only downside was the service: both the hostess and server could’ve been a bit warmer. I get that it’s a busy spot, but a friendlier vibe would go a long way.

Jeju Noodle Bar delivers an exceptional dining experience that perfectly balances comfort and sophistication. The wagyu ramen stands out with its deeply rich, umami-packed broth that feels both indulgent and refined. The toro spam bap is a creative twist that hits all the right notes—silky, savory, and perfectly balanced. The lobster myun is another highlight, offering layers of flavor that showcase both technique and quality ingredients. Beyond the food, the service is warm and attentive without feeling overbearing, and the ambiance is modern yet inviting, making it an ideal spot for a relaxed but memorable meal. Overall, Jeju Noodle Bar more than lives up to its reputation. P.S. their merch was really cute but we were bummed to find out they were not for sale :-(. We will be back!

My husband and I spontaneously came across this spot and was lucky to get seated as a walk-in when they opened at 3pm! The ambience was nice, it felt upscale but casual at the same time. The staff were super friendly and attentive! We ordered the ceviche, toro ssam bap, and jeju ribs which were all amazing! The ceviche had very fresh assortment of fish and shrimp with a lime (and yuzu?) mix, refreshing for this warm day. The toro ssam bap had so many flavors going on and was fun preparing them onto the seaweed with my partner. The jeju ribs was a highlight of sweet and savory, perfectly cooked tender ribs. It was a pleasant surprise to see that the serving sizes l turned out to be more food than we were expecting (we thought it would be like fine-dining tiny portions), so we ordered a little too much than we can eat since my husband also ordered the Gochu Ramyun for himself. We liked how firm the noodles were. The staff noticed us slowing down and offered to pack any leftovers to go which we appreciated the initiative. We can’t wait to go back with our friends!
