Very clean and welcoming place. They provide big meals and for economical rates. I loved the menu very much and the staff members were very attentive and chatty. I recommend this place.

I can't believe that this place is closed. I only ate here once and had the green chili shio ramen. The green chili was smoked and spicy. The soup wasn't salty and the noodles were made fresh in the store. The juicy fried chicken bowl had the best value. There was so much chicken over rice. I have also tried the gyoza and loved how it came with yuzu chili paste, which was something I never had before.

You broke my heart Kitakata! The best ramen I ever had, and I had you in my neighborhood. Why did you have to close your Jersey City location? How are all your obsessively loyal patrons to cope with this loss? Sure there are dozens of other ramen places around, but none can replace you. Where will I find anything like your Green Chilli Shio Ramen, which was as if by magic both light and hearty, and spicy yet refreshing to the palate? And those deliciously slightly bouncy noodles... there is just no replacement. It was good while we had you. I'll grieve the loss, but wish you the best in your other locations. But for now...

Not too bad, not too good. I just didn't like they gave me a small plastic spoon for the soup

The noodles and soup were my favorite one at this place. The place was cozy an the food was fresh and delicious. I am glad to give them 5 star for their excellent services. I like their presentation and atmosphere.

I tried the spicy miso ramen with a seasoned egg and a side of fresh ginger to toss in aaaaand this ramen SMACKS! - I was taken aback how good the broth and noodles were! The noodles are the wavy type which is a nice touch. This place is a hidden gem (for now) but I can predict the foodies in the area will catch wind of this place sooooon! Can't beat the prices too ($10.95!) - make sure to check out this place the next time you are craving a nice warm bowl of ramen.

The most disappointing ramen I've had in the tri state area, I literally have no idea what these other reviewers are talking about. The spicy miso had an off-aftertaste, the boiled vegetable ramen was so over salted I couldn't eat it, and they're not even using genuine ramen noodles. The pork in both was fatty and bland. I was shocked to see how many positive reviews this place received because I couldn't even finish my meal and ended up having to order a second delivery from a different establishment. The only reason I'm not giving this place 1 star is because I didn't actively get sick from the food.

Wow surprise, every item we got left us saying, "That is delicious" it was a hot day we got the green chili chasu, sweet and sour cold noodles and the breaded chicken. It was amazing, diverse flavors and very affordable. 3 people can eat for about 40-50 with tip. Would recommend.

This is such a gem! You guys need to come here. Their ramen with chasu pork is amazing. It's made out of pork belly so be careful for those with high blood pressure. They have loads of options. Easy to order, cheap and pretty quick. When you order it to go, they separate the noodles from the soup so it doesn't get soggy. Some ramen or Chinese spots never do this so this was quite a surprise for me.

This ramen shop was located inside the 99 Ranch Asian Market. Ordering was quick, but waited quite a long time for the food even though it was 2 pm on a Saturday.
