Ramen Restaurants near Newark, NJ

“We are from Canada and this is the second time we’ve encountered Lou at this spot and he always has a smile, very friendly and goes above and beyond without anyone asking. We recognized him from when we stopped here last year before going to Hawaii. Hope everyone gets to encounter Lou here !!“

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

“Beautiful apartment with kind friendly people. Across the street from NJPAC. Down the road from Newark museum, Whole Foods.... Great location!“

“I love this place. They always have great and fresh food. My favorite has to be the vegetable ramen. It’s so delicious, their chicken wings are flavorful and guns texture is pretty good. I love their bubble tea as well. I order through Uber eats majority of the time, I wonder if I can directly order from this restaurant though. I think I’ll find that out. Today I ordered the matcha green tea bubble tea, usually I order the mango milk bubble tea. They must remember because Uber gave me a complimentary mango bubble tea. This place is highly recommended by me. 10 stars“

“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...“

“Amazing Ramen! I never knew this place was right here in Nutley! The owner is soooo nice, the kitchen is absolutely spotless and the dishes were all fantastic! Definitely our new go-to for Ramen!“

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

“We had a delicious meal 😊“

“I will preface this review by saying I typically never review restaurants on google / yelp whether for good or bad purposes - I'm going out of my way for Sakai Ramen because of how amazing of an experience I had.

1. The food truly shocked me being surrounded by Chili's, Cava, and other chains; the N1 ramen spicy is phenomenal and I will be visiting Secaucus to order again.
2. The portions are amazing - typical NYC ramen restaurants I leave still hungry. That is not the case with this establishment.
3. My waitress Emma was extremely helpful, welcoming, and nice to talk to. Pointed me in all the right directions on the menu for someone who is inexperienced with ramen.

For those reasons, I'm happy to right this positive review for Sakai Ramen and highly encourage anyone looking for a restaurant in the plaza area to 100% go. Excited for my next visit!“

“The absolute best Ramen!! Amazing food and great service!“

“first time there the DUMPLINGS both the pork and veggies was AMAZING... But they need to give a lol extra sauce“

“We were in town from Wisconsin to see Metallica. The day after the concert , we were looking for something good to eat and found Dumpling Dojo. Looking thru the menu , we knew we had to try. AMAZING!! We had one of the best meals we have had in a long time and my husband and I like to eat. We go to a lot of high ends places, but as I said , this place was extraordinary. The staff very friendly and helpful. We had the fried pork belly , tangerine beef , shrimp dumplings, fried shrimp and ramen noodle. And for desert , out of the world raspberry cheese cake wontons with whipped cream and fruit garnish. Nothing was too spicy but so flavorful. Again , you really need to try this place. Thank You !!“

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

“Good food and better prices. The Boba tea was a little watered down but the Boba texture was perfect and it was a BIG tea for the price. The robatayaki was delicious, especially the chicken scallion skewers. My friends got the tonkatsu ramen and it was also delicious with HUGE portions.

Wheelchair accessibility: Large restaurant area could easily fit a wheelchair with space to maneuver fairly easily. No lip or step at the front door.“

“港餐。飽！😋真心。誠意。唔係扮㗎👍🏼truly tasty“

“Delicious and fresh. We love the Udon and Ramen soup with super yummy pork. The chicken teriyaki is also amazing and nice portion for the price. The owner is lovely.“

“Great Restaurant Great Vibes Delicious Food Clean and Customerservice awesome“

“The first time I went to this place I loved it but I came back a few weeks ago and my experience was totally different. The food wasn't that good and the service wasn't that great either but it could just be bad luck at the time. I love that it has a great parking lot.“

“The absolute best Ramen!! Amazing food and great service!“

“Just tried it for the first time. It hit the spot. I thoroughly enjoyed my bowl of classic tonkatsu ramen. Great service I will be back ❤️ I forgot to mention they have a clever duo container so the noodles and toppings are kept separate from the broth, enhancing the take out experience.“

“this is a great place to stop by if you are craving some ramen. there is a number of options to choose for, and for the price you get a decent serving size. bowls vary from 10-12$!! i was definitely satisfied by my meal. it’s not a long wait either! my order, #7 green chili was a bit salty for me but i still managed to finish my bowl. the noodles were plentiful and the right texture for me. i would come back and try a different flavor. i would recommend to stop by here whether it’s for cravings or after some grocery shopping!

Parking: lots of free parking available“

“Vibes and more vibes def recommended“

“This place is a gem.
The best time to go is at around 3:00. The restaurant was virtually empty when we arrived and we were seated immediately.
As soon as we ordered our food, it was on our table within 7 minutes.
Our waiter was very kind!
I highly recommend the Rainbow roll and the Kinya Ramen bowl.
The serving sizes are large and more than enough for one person.
My boyfriend and I plan to return for the excellent food and upstanding service.

Gordon Ramsey would be silent at one bite of the delicious goodness on the Kinya menu. Incredibly tasty. -A Hell’s Kitchen Reference“

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

“Broth and toppings are flavorful. We tried the spicy miso and spicy tonkatsu; their signature dish. They only have a pork option which was wonderful. I felt that the portion had too many noodles to broth ratio. A good selection to have at the food court.“

“Our family had a pleasant experience during our visit. The establishment was well-maintained and peaceful, and the cuisine was delicious. The staff provided excellent service. We highly recommend this establishment and look forward to returning in the future.“

“The oxtail ramen is amazing. Large portion of tender oxtail; noodles and egg had perfect consistency. The flavor of the broth was incredible. Will definitely be going back.“

“Dragon bowl for the win! I'm certain that other things here are great (I admit to stealing some ramen from my kids) but for me the Dragon Bowl is top notch, warm eel mixed with a perfect balance of mango and avocado, it's a delightful blend of everything I want when I come here.

Highly recommended, quick service and very kind owners.

Vegetarian options: Asian, so great fresh vegetables and the ability to customize any of the dishes.

Kid-friendliness: I bring the kids all the time and while the food is great the atmosphere is not stuffy, people watching from the big windows is a big plus

Wheelchair accessibility: At ground level, no stairs in the establishment“

“You cannot go wrong ordering here, I honestly cannot pick a favorite dish! Staff couldn’t be more warm and welcoming!“

“We love Ninja Sushi! It’s our go-to sushi spot in the area. The food is always so fresh, professionally prepared and the staff is super friendly. Try the OMG roll, because…. OMG, the presentation says it all! It’s where sushi meets comfort food. Delicious.“

“Stepping into Menya Sandaime felt like walking straight into a Japanese movie. The bamboo shade roofs and cozy setup gave it an authentic, almost transportive feel. Definitely a win for the ambience!

I ordered the Black Ramen, and it did not disappoint—rich, deep umami flavor that hit just right. The Veggie Shoyu Ramen, on the other hand, was just okay, nothing too special. One downside is that they don’t offer any vegan options, which feels like a miss in today’s food scene.

Service was quick, which is always a plus. Overall, a great spot if you're craving a solid bowl of ramen in a setting that makes you forget you're not actually in Japan. Would definitely come back!“

“We somehow discovered this place on DoorDash and we are never disappointed. We originally thought it was basically a ramen place, then we ventured into the sushi burritos and bowls, awesome! Now we discovered the Bao thing, we had never heard of it, they nailed it with both their chicken and pork with a peanut sauce, so f’ing good.“

“I've been coming here for a while and just realized they added tons of new food items! My review is to rave about their newest noodle option, mei fun noodles! I've tried their udon before, but I'll definitely make the mei fun noodles my new favorite!!Got it with their tomato soup base and fish fillet, and it's addictive.Definitely give it a try if you're into Asian foods!“

“Ordered via UberEats for a Wednesday pick-up at around 8 pm. There was a BOGO free special on boneless wings on UberEats, so we did a BOGO of the spicy soy garlic and the sweet and spicy. I thought a small order would only have 8 pieces, like wings normally would but it was massive. So essentially, our order was the equivalent of four small orders for two people but it was SO much chicken. We ordered way too much because I underestimated how big one order would be (but I’m not complaining)! We had leftovers for days so needless to say, I was sick of Korean fried chicken by the end of it. I really liked the spicy soy garlic but didn’t love the sweet and spicy. It’s really heavy on the honey, if you’re into that. The chicken comes with a side of pickled daikon cubes.

Next time, I’d like to see what the cheese snowing chicken is all about. Plus they’re other non-fried chicken dishes look pretty good and are reasonably priced as well.

Overall, it’s a good bang for your buck!!“

“This place is most-likely the best place I have **ever** went to on the island. The food was a masterpiece being very fresh feeling more of an “authentic Japanese food”, they also treated us positively and the atmosphere felt very “authentic”. Overall the place is a must try if you’re looking for a Japanese resaturant.

Kid-friendliness: They treated my child (and me) very well were nice to both of us.“

“My 1st time ordering take out here. The food was on time and delicious .“

“The customer service was excellent as soon as I entered the place.“

“Our usual japanese spot. Mostly order from them for deliveries. Great food and very nice people!“

“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.“

“Delicious ! Worth every cent ❤️❤️❤️“

“I got the spicy ramen soup it was so good I needed it especially today!!! 🙌🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽🥰🥰❤️❤️“
