Many ramen places in Fort Lee, NJ (there used to be a large Japanese population here -but they all left when Korean-Americans started to move in). They are all good but this is my favorite one. Can't explain why. Sometimes we enjoy food for some emotional reason we can't explain. The decor seems more ramen-y (ramen shops shouldn't be high-brown, fancy or bougie). The staff with their bandanas and their chanting in Japanese seem like what you'd expect. Anyway, others agree because this place seems to be the busiest of all the ramen shops in town.

The best ramen in NJ My husband and I were looking for a ramen spot when the algorithm led us to Menya. We saw such great reviews that we decided to give it a try. The moment you walk in, it feels like you’ve stepped into a little corner of Japan. The atmosphere is super cozy, and the smell is amazing. The service? Absolutely 10000/10. Without a doubt, this is the best ramen I’ve had in New Jersey. Generous portions, incredible flavor—I highly recommend trying the original.

It's the best ramen of the area. We love place. My wife, my daughter, and I visit Menya Sandaime twice a month. Homemade noodles and ramen original flavor. The crispy gyozas are terrific.

This place USED to be good. I came here 2 weeks ago and the noodles were very overcooked, the broth didn't have much flavor and so did the dishes as a whole. Definitely won't be coming back. This place lost its authenticity.

My family and I came here Thanksgiving evening and the owner graciously let us dine in just as they were about to close. I’m so thankful he did, because I can confidently say the ramen I had at Menya Sandaime was the best I’ve had in America. The broth, the noodles, the chashyu—it was all so reminiscent of the ramen we had in Japan, I was quite surprised to find it here. Such a kind owner and staff, such delectable food, a 10/10 spot. Thank you so much to the owner for his hospitality and service!

My sister-in-law recommended this place, so I went. I love spicy Japanese ramen, but the broth here is so good (not oily at all) and the vegetables are just the right amount. Sometimes at other places, there's too much and it feels overwhelming. Even the way the egg is cooked was perfect for my taste. As a Japanese ramen enthusiast, I've been to many places, but the ramen I had today was the best I've ever had. The broth has such a clean, delicate flavor.
The staff member, Jefferson, was very polite and kind to the customers. 👍🏻 Sebastian who made ramen 👍🏻

Very good place for ramen! The best? Not quite from other places around, but it’s a small cozy spot. Only one server was there and he was able to help all the tables. He was really nice. Def a place to come try if you want something that is good and cozy!

I had a tonkotsu ramen yesterday and it was delicious. Deep broth and yummy noodle. Service was very nice. I will be back!
Wow! We were blown away by this ramen joint. It's a small restaurant but the flavor is BIG. I can't believe it wasn't more packed on a Saturday night considering how delicious their ramen is. Our server was nice, too. We can't wait to go back - we've found our new favorite ramen place!
Parking: They have 2 parking spots in front of the restaurant otherwise you will need to find street parking. We had no issues finding street parking on a Saturday night.

I had Karakuchi Ramen, which was spicy, and my wife had vegetarian miso Ramen. Both were excellent. This Japanese Ramen is the best in the area.
