Ramen Restaurants in New York, NY

“Always great and the beer selection is on point all the time.The cold Sesame noodles have a kick but are so so tasty, the eggplant is fantastic and the Brussels Sprouts are a treatI cannot speak positively enough about this place.The staff is so attentive and go above and beyond to meet dietary needs when possible.It’s a classic that holds up to its status.“

“Their menu is extensive but I got classic things like the curry puffs, crab rangoon, and pad khee mao which were all great. The pad khee mao was quite spicy and I can handle a good amount of spice so I would ask for it not so spicy if you can’t handle too spicy. Very delicious and flavorful though!Beautiful lighting sitting outdoors by the way!“

“I heard that Tonchin is difficult to get walk-ins for, so I was really excited to get a reservation here. There was a long line of walk-ins when we arrived for our 12pm reservation. The restaurant has a cool modern vibe and good service. Overall there were some things I liked, but nothing was particularly memorable.The kimchi mushroom ($8) was meh and not worth the cost. It was very small, cold, and sour -- just hard strips of oyster mushroom in a chili oil/vinegar flavor. I didn't taste the kimchi flavor.The original maguro ($27) was very good. Lots of great flavors and textures, and everything was cut to the same size. I enjoyed the crunchy bits.The tebasaki ($18 for 6 pieces) had quite big and tender wings. The drumettes had more flavor and sauciness. This wasn't a must-get, but it was decent.The smoked dashi ramen ($22) definitely lived up to its name. It was a rich but not overly heavy pork broth with smoked dashi liquid on top. It was good but not amazing. I didn't love that the bamboo was in a big chunk, which made it hard to eat. The noodles are nothing special. I felt similarly about the tonkotsu ramen.I got the aka drink ($18) which was pretty good -- very floral and good sweetness. It wasn't that big, though -- it had a giant ice block in it.Overall the restaurant has a nice vibe and the food is quick to come out, but nothing would make me come back. The maguro was definitely the highlight.“

“Delicious ramen, one of the best in town. It was especially perfect for me as I don’t eat pork and it’s always hard to get a non-pork ramen. Here they have chicken, beef, veggies broths! Amazing! Japanese curry was also delicious. I’ll be coming back “

“The Smoked Pork Ramen was one of the best ramen I have ever had. The soup was strong in umami and smokiness and that alone made it a stand out dish. The spicy ramen was a manageable level of spicy but covered the taste of everything else.It’s so good I forgive David Chang for sending lawyer letters to the AAIP chilli crisp makers.“

“3.8/5 stars My first time visited Kame on Saturday it was a bit busy so we had to wait in the line but only for 10-15 mins. I had Spicy Tonkotsu ramen(19$) the braised pork belly was super soft but the broth is just ok in my opinion the black garlic oil is too strong that I couldn't even drink the soup but I did like the noodles tho. I added onsen egg for (2$) and it was just ok to me because I think marinated boiled eggs would be better with the ramen. Noodles 3.7/5 Pork belly 4.5/5 Creamy broth 2.8/5 Onsen egg 3/5 Drink Plum lemonade 4.5/5 The food was good but this is just my personal taste buds. If I'm in the area I might come back but I wouldn't go out just to go there. P.S The ramen came with 2pcs of chashu but I ordered extra that's why it looks like it's a lot in my bowl“

“This was my favorite restaurant of all the ones we visited ?? super kids friendly! The food and cocktails are delicious! I would go back right now if I could!Kid-friendliness: Children are accepted and have plates and glasses suitable for their little hands. They also have toothpick adapters so they can take their first steps with them.“

“The ambiance of the place, with cozy seating, set the stage for a delightful evening for aficionados of ramen.The ramen itself was a revelation: a steaming bowl brimming with uniquely rich, heartwarming broth, springy noodles, and an array of toppings that came together flawlessly.Prices were reasonable. Overall, it was a 5-star experience that I can't wait to repeat.“

“Ottimo ristorante di Ramen (giapponese e non quello "tarocco" o fatto con quello istantaneo del supermercato) che offre anche una fantastica selezione di ravioli. Prezzi tutto sommato accettabili per la media della città e acqua gratuita. Posto piccolo, accogliente, staff cordiale e velocissimo. Porzioni corpose quindi ordinate con cautela o non riuscirete a finire tutto.“

“Nice calm place in West Village without all the pretentiousness. Although located sub level the place is spacious and well aired, in fact much better than many joints in Manhattan. The ramen was excellent, real tokyo style. Price was fair considering the big portions.Wheelchair accessibility: Not possible. Only stairs.“

“Mmm, so good. We were staying at the nearby Park Central Hotel and looking for a decent restaurant within a quick walk. This one cropped up with good reviews, so we figured we'd try it. Best meal of our week-long NYC trip! I got the Curry Ramen, which was fantastic, with perfectly crispy pork katsu and nicely springy ramen noodles. My wife and daughter also enjoyed their selections. I think one was the Kin Ramen (which I also got to finish, since it was too big for my daughter -- the chashu pork was excellent!The place has a hip and cozy atmosphere. Service is friendly and quick. An excellent place to satisfy your ramen craving!“

“The staff was friendly and it was nice to be able to taste the same Ichiran ramen I had in Osaka. If you set the spiciness level to level 8, it's about as spicy as Shin Ramyun, but eating bone broth with spicy seasoning and rice felt like eating sundae soup haha.It's expensive, but it's worth a visit at least once during your trip.“

“Wonderful food, great atmosphere, nice staff. We came in last week with a large group after a work party, and everything was perfect. Good options for vegetarians also. Thank you! 全部は美味しかった！ごちそうさまでした。“

“Our experience at NR, was mostly positive. The Japanese fried chicken appetizer left us underwhelmed, lacking that special touch. However, the chicken soup curry stole the show with its amazing taste and generous portion size, making it a preferable choice over the ramen.Speaking of ramen, while it wasn't bad, it didn't quite justify making a special trip here for it. There are other spots in the city that excel in ramen. On the bright side, the service was excellent, and the ambiance had a charming speakeasy vibe, evoking the essence of old NYC.Overall, NR is a great spot to visit with a date or friends, offering a delightful experience with standout dishes like the chicken soup curry. However, if you're solely craving ramen, you might find better options elsewhere in the city.“

“cozy spot w decent ramen & good service. not too much seating but plenty of room when we came at 8pm on a sunday. nothing superrrrre special compared to other ramen places & i think would probably only come back if i was super cold or something(each ramen comes out to around $28 after tip amd tax)“

“Wow! The Tsukemen here is amazing! Definitely a Star ⭐️. If you like a fish based broth then this place is for you. You must order using phone to scan the QR code. And you must pay the bill that way. Slightly complicated if you’re a party of 2 or more. Bar/Counter seating only. Very tight and narrow space, which makes getting to the restroom difficult. Food is worth all the hassle. Reasonably priced. Electronic payment is mandatory. We will definitely be going back.Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian optionsDietary restrictions: Something for all dietary needsParking: Street parking fills up quicklyKid-friendliness: Not really for kidsWheelchair accessibility: Not“

“Another brilliant meal! I never miss the opportunity to eat here when I’m in NYC and I Love sharing this place with people I know. An exceptional menu, great cocktails, amazing and attentive service and always a delightful culinary experience. Bravo!“

“I’m on my business trip from Japan and looking ramen restaurant near my hotel in Soho, I found this restaurant! They have various Japanese menu like sushi, katsu don and of course ramen. I really like the Shio(Salty) Ramen with light chicken&salmon broth-they told this is their new lunch menu. Definitely will be back because would like to try other menus!“

“We eard great things about this fusion noodle and dumpling restaurant. The space is new. It's smallish, clean and comfortable. It was really busy but the tables turned over quickly. To my surprise, they take reservations. There's a garden in the back that looks promising but was too cold to dine in when we went. The restaurant staff were totally overwhelmed by the volume of dine in and take out orders. Our waitress was nice, but we didn't spend a lot of time talking with her. The service was a bit slow, but this offset what would have otherwise been a fast paced meal. They have a large sake and beer selection. I went for a bottle of Peroni beer just because they had it. We shared an order of steamed chicken dumplings to start. They were good, but could have been hotter and there were bone fragments in a couple of them. My wife loved her Yu Xiang Chicken Banmen. She was only able to finish half of it. I had no such problem with the Tonkatsu Chasu Pork Ramen. The broth was excellent and it was fun to try the Japanese version of char siu. The house noodles were good and were surprisingly spaghetti- like. Very good meal in a nice space. Not a place where you can have a leisurely meal. Wonder if they are less overwhelmed during the week.“

“Searched the web looking for oyster and came across this place! I came as a solo during happy hour & sat at the bar … oysters were 1.75$ , clean, fresh and yummyDrink was pretty pricey (17$) but definitely worth the try, the aroma and craft of the drink was appreciated. I had “the smoke”.Also tried the shrimp bun , soooo soft it almost melted in my mouth ! Food was AMAZING! I would visit again!“

“Tiny cozy place for ramen. Had full ramen bar and maybe 4-5 tables. They serve asahi on tap and offer chu-hi. Ramen broth was mostly chicken based but had a high content of garlicky and salt flavor. You can choose thin or wavy noodles. I would say save yourself from gyoza. I found them crispy but lacking flavor and juiciness when you take that first bite. Over all satisfying and around 20 bucks a bowl.“

“The atmosphere was spot on--nice choice of music, and the dining was cozy but not squishy. Service was prompt, and they refilled our water jar well in advance. Our order was taken promptly, and the check on the back end came quickly, too.“

“Absolutely wonderful bowl of ramen. I had the New Tokyo ramen and the broth was perfectly layered with flavor. It's not as clean as something like Tsutas, but very enjoyable in its own way. The only thing I can knock is the chicken, which was a tad dry.“

“Went during a quieter Saturday when about 50-60% of the tables were full. Tonkatsu taken broth was rich and creamy, noodles were chewy, and the salmon ikura bowl was refreshing.Easy service, clean bathroom, simple and well put together dining area.Only note is that ramen's noodle to broth ratio could use more broth.“

“Suram is one of my best kept secrets in Hudson Yards, but I'm no longer gatekeeping! Setting: Centered near the Hudson Yards Shops and the Vessel, Suram features a dimly lit ambiance with tones of black, silver, and gold. ‍Service: Kind waitstaff and the food came out at an expected pace for a sushi/ramen spot. Food: I got the sake don (salmon bowl - $29) and the spicy avocado crunch roll ($10). Both were at a great value, especially for the location and the flavor. Can't wait to return!“

“Pretty big Ramen ? restaurant. Nice staff and good food. Reasonably priced. Credit cards ? are accepted. The spicy ?️ Ramen was the Star ⭐️. Extra Noodle option is a great idea ?. We will definitely be going back.Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian optionsDietary restrictions: Something for all dietary needsParking: Street parking fills up quicklyKid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: Not when accessible“

“If your looking for a authentic and cute atmosphere go to shinjuku ramen it has exceptional food. The staff is welcoming and professional.For starters the gyoza was yummy, perfectly prepared but the mains were exceptional, the shoyu king ramen was the best ramen we ever had and the eel and rice dish was also really good in flavor and the eel was done perfectly also the miso king ramen was very flavorful ,the miso flavor was exquisite . If your looking for a delicious place to eat around 60th and 5th you should definitely go to shinjuku ramen.Beware ,other ramens will be inferior after you have theirs.“

“Fast , efficient and excellent service.The best ramen in financial district have to hit up this space every time I visit NYC .Vegetarian options: Vegetarian miso ramen with plenty of veggies and tofu.Kid-friendliness: My daughter loves this place and always ask to come here to eat when we are in town.“

“Went there for lunch with four others. Wr call the Donburi but different types. The apps were the usual Edamame (can't mess this up) and some tasty pan fried Gyoza. We all enjoyed our Donburi and finished them but I thought it was kind of bland so really 3.5 on the food.“

“Nestled in NYC's Upper East Side, Me Jin Ramen delivered authentic Japanese flavors. The cozy ambiance and welcoming staff set the stage for a memorable dining experience. I had the Meijin Miso Ramen and ate the whole thing. The broth, simmered to perfection, harmonizes with the chewy, house-made noodles and exquisite toppings like tender beef, bean sprouts, green onions and sweet corn. As a local, I treasure Meijin Ramen for its consistently exceptional quality and comforting atmosphere. For a taste of Japan in the heart of NYC, Meijin Ramen is an absolute must-visit.“

“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 ✅✅“

“There's something special about enjoying a steaming bowl of ramen on a chilly day. The warmth and comfort it provides can be truly satisfying. If you're looking for a place to enjoy this delicious dish, consider visiting Hide-Chan Ramen. Their ramen is not only delicious but also the perfect way to warm up on a cold day.“

“This is my favourite restaurant in New York. The service is amazing. I could have this for breakfast, lunch and dinner for my whole life. The owner gave me a free drink.I recommend this place because The food is amazing. Everyone is so nice. It makes my life so good. We had the pork Ramen, amazing , we also had the spicy chicken that was so flavourful and and the salmon poke bowl that so fresh,it tasted like heaven.Review by Rawly (12)“

“I had the Tokyo Tonkotsu Shouyu and I completely enjoyed it, it was rich and gelatinous but not oily. The pork bun and thai iced tea was ok. After the first spoonful I didn't like the matcha pudding, the mild bitter taste really hits hard after finishing the iced tea, but sometime between the second and third spoonful the bitterness mellowed out and was enjoyable. 10/10 would recommend the matcha pudding. Service was prompt, and used dishes were removed quickly.“

“Just got back from Tokyo and already missed the Ramen. Karakatta did an amazing job to fill the Ramen void in my life. I tend the keep the ? on the lighter side these days. Level 2 was just enough. Fantastico broth. Service was amazing, even as they were closing.I'll BE BACK ! ?“

“- we tried 5 different kinds of sushi rolls: salmon avocado and the california rolls were good, the eel avocado roll is a bit too heavy in my opinion (the sauce is really sweet), the premium black eel was average (and not worth the price) and the black spicy tuna roll was not our cup of tea at all.- I expect much more from a sushi place with 4.8 out of 5. It was ok overall, but nothing to remember+ the food came very fast, the staff is friendly+ they serve tap water“

“Great food and knowledgable / friendly staff who took time to explain the menu to me and give recommendations. Good choice for take-out or for a lower-cost option to get dinner with friends before going out. Highly recommend the okonomiyaki!“

“Nestled in the bustling Times Square, Kyuramen offers a delightful Japanese dining experience that's hard to resist. Quench your thirst with their Brown Sugar Bubble Milk Tea, a sweet and creamy concoction that pairs perfectly with their delectable dishes.The Honeycombo Platter is a fantastic choice for sharing, offering a variety of flavors and textures. The No.6 Kyushu Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen is a standout dish, featuring a rich and flavorful broth with succulent pork belly and noodles cooked to perfection. For a heartier meal, try the Pork Tonkatsu Omurice Combo, which combines crispy pork cutlet with savory rice and a soft-cooked omelette.For an explosion of flavors, don't miss the Yakitori Platter (5 Skewers), showcasing juicy and tender grilled chicken skewers that will leave you craving more. Everything at Kyuramen is expertly prepared with fresh ingredients, ensuring a top-notch dining experience in the heart of New York City.“

“Upon arriving on March 14, 2024 at 6:45pm, I was 0kindly greeted by two very polite and courteous servers. The food was exceptional and so was the service. I will be going back and bringing others with me. I so appreciated the hospitality. KUDO! ❤️ ?Vegetarian options: Great meal with sesame string beans.“

“The Shoyu Ramen with added Nori seaweed hit the spot and was perfect. The mixture of the soy sauce and chicken broth was delicious. The chicken version was charbroiled and added to the layers of flavor. It also comes with pork, if desired. The kikurage mushrooms are also very good. I would highly recommend this dish and literally ate every last drop!“

“Our waiter Tony was awesome and super attentive. Very fun vibe here and the food was delicious. Got a variety of stuff, ramen, sushi, dumplings, all super good. Would definitely come back!Dietary restrictions: It's a nut free restaurant“

“This restaurant is sooo good ! They have a really chill ambiance with great lightning. The rolls are big and yummy, and they have these really tasty japanese sodas that are so unique. Will definitely come back for one of those big platters !“

“Cozy restaurant with limited seating. I came here on a weeknight, around 6, and I was able to easily find a free table. There is a qr code on the table that allows you to order without speaking to a server. The chicken gyoza ($10) was decent. I've had better, but it is nice to try at least once. The meat inside was very small. The gyoza wrapper is very thin and delicate. When I bit into the gyoza, all I could think was that the taste and texture were very cute. They also provided hot oil and vinegary soy sauce. The Torigara Ramen was pretty good. The chicken broth had a clean taste but it had a slight bitter aftertaste that I did not like. The noodles were thin and straight. The chicken was very tender and not dry at all. The Ton Toro Ramen was my favorite. I actually finished all the pork broth, which was packed with flavor and very creamy. The noodles were thicker and wavy. The soup clung to the thicker noodles better than the thin noodles. The chashu was soft and a fatty, which some people may not like. Overall, I would rate this a 3.5 but I rounded up for the Ton Toro Ramen.“

“My friend and I got the yellowtail scallion roll and the salmon avocado roll. They were both delicious. We especially enjoyed the yellowtail scallion roll, which had a light flavor and was slightly crunch from the scallion. Their service was quick and the owner was very welcoming. The place is small, but in a cozy way. The space is clean. We definitely recommend this place!!“

“Great spot with solid flavors and ramen done just right. I ordered the spicy miso vegetable ramen, which was a big and delicious portion of food. It was a very satisfying bowl of goodness on a rainy day. My only wish is that they create a vegetarian version of their signature Tabata ramen, so I too can try it in the future. Good, no fuss service and atmosphere.Vegetarian options: Miso vegetarian ramen and spicy miso vegetarian ramen.“

“I love this place. I split the 3-4 person group meal, which had about 6 courses (including sesame oil cabbage, sesame oil pickled cucumbers, shishito peppers, fried smelt, salmon, yellowtail, scallops, lightly fried chicken, Yakiniku, miso salmon + shimeji mushroom bake, seafood ramen, hojicha pudding). The price has gone up a bit recently but I don’t even care tbh cuz this place always hits “

“Get the salmon tartare as your app. I could eat 5 orders of these, easily. You’re welcome.All the ramen are mid. Albeit some are very creative. The broth isn’t as rich as I’d prefer and alway just falls short of… damn that’s good. That said, they never disappoint, they just never wow. The noodles are also mid.Service is always friendly and efficient.Portion to $: 4/5Date spot: lunch maybe, dinner no.All this said, it’s the best ramen north of 79th Street. So far.“

“No reservations. Cash only. Get a table if you can. This is the rare restaurant east of 9th Avenue that is convenient to theaters and isn't a tourist trap. Xiao Long Bao (soup dumplings) are a must. Hand pulled noodle soup is rich and flavorful, if a bit salty. Get it with char siu (bbq pork). A huge and satisfying meal. The wonton soup is much lighter, and the dumplings are more giant shrimp and pork vegetable dumplings than true wontons. I would order these as an appetizer if I could. Get this if you want something a little lighter.“

“I loved listening to EDM while eating. The food was excellent, can't wait to come back for the hibachi, everyone looked like they were really enjoying it! Also I had just been saying that I hadn't been able to find really amazing scallion pancakes for years and these ones fulfilled the dream! Light. Flaky. Not too greasy and full of delicious scallion flavor! The sushi was all fresh and got gobbled up quickly. The sake and Sapporo were incredibly reasonably priced as well. So glad my friends moved close by!“

“Decent casual sit down sushi. Service was quick and friendly. They have a grab and go section. I ordered the sushi box of 4 plus a choice of salad (I chose edamame). I really liked the shrimp tempura and spicy tuna, good flavors. Of note (as of 12/19/23), there must be construction going on next door because it was REALLY loud. You could feel the ground vibrate while you eat. While this establishment probably has nothing to do with that, it did ruin the vibe.“
