Ramen Restaurants near Cranford, NJ

“the food is fantastic and the staff is very friendly!“

“Poke House in Cranford is a total gem. The food’s fresh, the portions are generous, and the staff is genuinely friendly. I had a salmon poke bowl with avocado and a bunch of toppings it was packed with flavor and super satisfying.
They’ve got more than just poke too. The ramen was surprisingly good, and the shumai hit the spot. The place is casual, clean, and perfect whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or hanging out with friends.
It’s one of those spots you end up telling people about. Great food, chill atmosphere, and prices that make sense. Definitely worth stopping by.“

“I’m updating my review after giving Ohkami Ramen several more visits, and I’ve got to say; what a turnaround. The difference in service is night and day. From the moment you walk in, the staff greets you warmly, checks in regularly, and actually seems to care that you’re having a good experience. It feels like management really took the feedback to heart and made the necessary changes. The whole place runs smoother, more organized, and the energy feels positive now.

The food, on the other hand, has always been rock solid and that’s one thing that never changed. What continues to impress me most is how consistent it is. Every bowl of ramen, every plate of gyoza, and every pork belly bun comes out just as perfect as the last time. The flavors are rich, balanced, and clearly crafted with care. That kind of consistency in quality says a lot about the pride this kitchen takes in what they do.

You can tell this team has found their rhythm. The space feels more inviting, the service matches the level of the food, and it’s now an experience that delivers from start to finish. I don’t hand out five stars easily, but Ohkami earned every bit of it. It’s officially one of my go-to spots, and I’m glad I gave it another chance and they truly stepped it up across the board.“

“I cannot say enough good things about this place! The ramen is beyond delicious—comforting, flavorful, and made with love. The bubble tea is always so refreshing and perfectly made, and the rice balls are seriously addictive. The service is always so kind and attentive, you feel completely taken care of every time you come in. The owners are the sweetest people! The atmosphere is beautiful, cozy, and has such a warm, welcoming vibe that makes you never want to leave. I’m already excited for my next visit. Highly recommend to anyone looking for amazing food & drinks.“

“Best ramen and spicy pork buns I ever had. Clean restaurant, very nice people and I love the atmosphere. Amazing food highly recommend!!“

“The food is greasy and the service are very good.“

“excellent foods, good service.“

“small ramen with big flavors. I enjoyed everything from the chill atmosphere to amazing food. the blend of Peruvian cuisine with traditional Japanese dishes is a match made in foodie heaven. I had the double fried wings and sloppy joe bao bun for a starter and each dish was better than the last. the wings were super crispy yet tender inside and the sloppy joe bao buns were a trip down memory lane. the sloppy brought me back to my childhood eating at a friend's house. for my ramen I had the tonkatu. their pork broth was hearty and tasteful and reminded me of my first bowl of real ramen. I highly recommend going there and finding out on your own...“

“Great food. Easily customizable to your individual tastes.“

“The food was quite delightful. When we came in we were seated immediately. Our orders were taken within 2 minutes and the food came out just 5 minutes later. The atmosphere was warm and cozy. The authenticity was also quite marvelous. Definitely coming back!

Dietary restrictions: Not sure I don’t have any.

Kid-friendliness: Pretty kid friendly. I saw that there were high seats for children and small kids enjoying everything.

Wheelchair accessibility: You have to get up stairs to go here so it might not be the best option but if you manage to get up, there is quite a lot of space for a wheelchair“

“This was our first time trying Ramen so we have nothing else to compare it too. We saw this place had great reviews, and we both love soup so we gave it a try. I had the vegetable ramen and my husband had the beef ramen. We both thought our ramen soups were very good! Next time I’d like to try one of their Thai soups. Our waitress was nice, but she didn’t speak English well so it was hard for her to explain their various soups they had. We would definitely come again. I recommend Ji Bei Chuan in Edison!“

“My friends and I love getting ramen at Menya!

The ramen is absolutely delicious (especially on a cold day) and the couple/family pricing is unbeatable.

Aaron is usually our server and he makes the dining experience 10x better.

If you’re in Metuchen and want a good ramen check them out!“

“Always as expected. I usually come here after work when I don’t feel like cooking.“

“Love their Classic Tonkatsu Ramen. The broth is so tasty and has a creamy consistency. Noodles have nice bite and maintain their chewy consistency even with delivery. They separate the soup and noodles so that the noodles don’t turn to mush for delivery. The chicken katsu bao buns are also delicious.“

“So happy I made this discovery! Black garlic ramen was delicious! They have probably the best bubble milk tea I’ve ever had. Wish they had another location in West Chester!“

“Excellent Ramen. Great service. Great little spot. The kimchi they bring you is divine, spicey, and delicious. The Spicey Ramen I had was amazing, even down to delicious bean sprouts. The spring rolls were on point. By far the best shrimp tempora I've had. Simple, light, crisp and delicious. Oh and the house sake was fantastic. If you're in the area, check this place out. It will not disappoint!“

“Edit: posted a year ago but i STILLL COME HERE.

I've come here abt 20*** times so far and I've never had a bad food experience. I've had sushi from a lot of other AYCE, all you can eat, sushi places and I think this one is the best in terms of quality and variety. It's about $30 per person.

The fish here tastes fresh and NOT watered down like other places I've been to. The miso soup is good here too, it doesn't taste artificial and sweet like other places.

The special rolls are a little questionable, there are a lot of special rolls that aren't my type and extremely filling but I like the sashimi and regular rolls. The salmon is good here, so I always get salmon sashimi and Alaska rolls.

They also have other foods available in their AYCE like shumai, sesame chicken, lo mein, and calamari, takoyaki, etc. Most of their non-sushi items are good too. I have some friends who don't like seafood but they still get the ayce.

ONE THING TO NOTE, if you come here with a party of 5 or more, you will be charged a 15% service fee.“

“My favorite go-to place. I haven’t tried all of their dishes but I’ve had plenty which were delicious and stayed hot upon arrival.“

“Never got to order anything, but I wanted to shout out the great bartender. He’s a really fun guy to talk to. I crashed at one of the seats here for a few moments to look something up, and the bartender welcomed me with a glass of water, and even gave me some water to go, even though I had never even ordered anything. I’d recommend just for the bartender !“
