Ramen Restaurants near Cranford, NJ

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

“Was in again for lunch today. Poke bowls are always fresh and delicious, and the service is very friendly and fast. Prices are also fair, especially when you consider this tasty and healthy meal is about the same price as a fast food meal or sub sandwich. We are fortunate to have them in town.“

“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.“

“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...“

“Hidden gem right in the heart of New Providence. Very sweet and funny staff even the cute little fortune cat statue at the register. Fresh,flavorful and huge portions with a diverse selection of specialty ramen you can modify. Prices are very fair and the quiet spacious interior makes for an ideal date spot. I suggest calling in and than going to pick up 10-15 minutes later.“

“Great ramen. I highly recommend getting the shio ramen without the red onions, and opt for the chicken instead of pork chashu. Skip the karaage and go for the delicious gyoza or takoyaki instead.

I generally think tonkotsu is overrated; a light chicken ramen done well (like in here) can taste just as complex and perhaps more elegant. Plus, you get to walk out without feeling like you’ve downed an entire brick. Ordering the shio instead of shoyu or truffle will allow you to maximally enjoy the pristine chicken flavor. I recommend asking for no red onions because it can overpower the broth.

Ramen is evaluated on three components: soup, noodle, and toppings. They’ve got the soup down pat. Very flavorful. The noodles had a great bite. For me, mushy noodles is a dealbreaker, so I was very glad to get firm noodles. The only thing they need to improve is the topping. I noticed they struggled with cooking proteins, perhaps because they haven’t figured out the role of salt in changing the structure of muscle fibers.

The sous vide chicken was soft but I wouldn’t describe it as juicy, which is what I’d expect from this cooking method. Adding salt to the bag should solve it. The pork chashu was also a bit dry and gummy, not cooked long enough. Plus, the meats could’ve benefited from being warmed up, as they were fridge cold. This issue extends to non-toppings: the karaage was dry and stringy, which would not happen if it was allowed to marinate amply in soy sauce, enough time for the salt to alter the muscle fibers.

I know the takoyaki is probably pre-made frozen because it was deep-fried, but I’m now so curious what brand it is. It was perfect. Generously big chunks of octopus were surrounded by soft and gooey batter the consistency of molten lava cake, with the noticeable taste of pickled ginger. It came with all the proper sauces and toppings. It’s the best takoyaki I’ve had that does not involve a takoyaki pan.“

“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!“

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

“First time being in millburn ramen with my family, and honestly I couldn’t recommend a better family friendly atmosphere.. food is superb the prices are in fair range.. 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone (the juicy pork buns are to die for!!)“

“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!“

“Nice ramen spot in New Jersey. The broth is rich and flavorful. Appetizers are good.

Would recommend the wings.
Pork buns are also pretty good.
Shrimp tempura are average.
Nice drink specials, and atmosphere“

“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 !“

“Atmosphere- so it’s the mall… it is what it is… now for the good stuff- the. Service was awesome and the staff friendly- no pressure ordering and very helpful. The food was terrific as well. I ordered the Curry Ramen and it was very very good . I’ll be going back“

“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.“
