Me and my partner come here very regularly and we love this place. It’s one thing to enjoy the rame ,which no doubt is super comforting especially during the winter. But, it is another thing to have a very welcoming and caring staff. We come to this place because we love the atmosphere, the sweet and caring staff and good comforting food! Definitely our go-to ramen place in Hoboken!!
It's Saturday night in January. Prime time for some ramen on a cold winter weekend night. I live in Hoboken and this is the first place that came to mind because it's close and I've had good food there several times. It was 8:50 pm. I checked their website to make sure they don't close at 9:00. Website lists 10:00 closing time. Just in case, I check Google maps. Hmmm, 9:40 closing time. I assume this is so they can cut off orders and give the staff enough time to be out the door as close to 10:00 as possible. Cool with me. Plenty of time. I bundle up and head out. I arrive at 9:18. It's a very specific time, I know. Here's how I know what time it was. I tell them I'm a party of 1 and just want a bowl of ramen. Having worked in a restaurant many years ago, I know patrons who walk in 10 minutes before closing are persona non grata. It's 42 minutes before website closing time, and 28 minutes before Google maps closing time. It's ramen, not a 4 course fine dining experience. The gentleman at the door was more of a defensive lineman than a server. He moves towards me as I come in the door and says, "We close in 8 minutes". I look at my watch. Yup, 9:18. I reiterate that I just want a bowl of Ramen and that their website lists 10:00 as closing time. I get a Division I defensive lineman blank stare. I take the hint. I leave, after suggesting they update their website. I end up walking up to 14th Street to another ramen place where they're open later (and until the advertised hours that consumers have to rely on). They greet me warmly. Frankly, the ramen isn't even as good, but that place on 14th is my new go-to ramen place in Hoboken, despite being further away. Any owner that doesn't train their employees not to call an audible on closing time and shoo customers away on a Saturday night because they want to go home early, isn't focused enough on their business. Will they miss my $200 a year? Nope. But I won't miss their ramen either. I reward businesses that value the customer experience by giving them more business and giving servers excellent tips. I don't ever go back to places that treat customers poorly. Customer service 101.

The muteki ramen was top tier. We came in with a group of 5 fairly close to closing time and still received great service. Friendly staff and very clean, modern restaurant.

Hi there. I made order through Uber Eats, read many good reviews. But food is not for me, too sweet. Even simple beef udon is sweet 😵💫 and buns are sweet. No umami taste, just very sweet and spicy meet.
Love this place. First time visiting. We were a party of 4. For appetizers we ordered the Tempura shrimp buns and the fried chicken bites. The main dishes were all Ramen. I ordered mines with fried chicken 😉, pork, egg and noodles. Forgot to mention that their noodles are done right at the restaurant. Delicious. For dessert we ordered the Strawberry Mochi 😋. The staff was super friendly and with smiles. I am definitely coming back.
Wow, definitely my new favorite spot in town. Incredible ramen, and a good portion at that!
