“Too good, cold or hot the noods are the best in town“

“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 !!“

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

“Had the recommendation from the Off Menu Podcast. Great atmosphere, great service and amazing ramen.“

“My god this place is amazing I ate here 3 times last week alone.“

“We throughly enjoyed our dinner tonight. There were 7 of us and they were so nice to accommodate us. We had 3 different appetizers 3 different ramens and 2 different rice bowls. Everyone loved everything. Highly recommend!“

“Yummy yummy Sushi! Speedy Service!“

“super delicious 😋 best restaurant to be when you think of Ramen“

“I've been to a few ichiran locations and have always been satisfied. Is it the best ramen in the city? Maybe not, but it's a really solid and well balanced bowl that you get to eat in a relatively unique solo booth experience. I love the little booths, it's very relaxing for me to eat in my own little cubby. I will say though, the lines can get long.

As for the actual ramen, last time I went with the classic tonkotsu with all the recommended settings. It didn’t come with an egg by default, which id probably add next time, but otherwise I was happy with it. The broth is the real star of the show - it really exemplifies a classic tonkotsu with the perfect amount of unctuous, creamy mouthfeel and savory, rich flavors. They also give a lot more chashu than I would expect, which is nice. The chashu was super tender, although mildly flavored. The recommended firmness for the noodles was medium, but next time I would definitely go for firm because they were too soft for my liking.

All in all an awesome bowl or ramen with a unique eating experience. Worth checking out for sure!“

“Ramen Misoya West Village is a cozy ramen spot specializing in rich, flavorful miso-based broths. The ramen is hearty and well-balanced, with deep umami flavors and satisfying textures. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming. A great choice for a comforting bowl of ramen in NYC.“

“Wonderful service, and delicious food.“

“Ordered the Kim Ramen, it did not disappoint, was amazing, perfect jammy egg, smokey pork, great broth, complex and amazing. Don't miss the chicken bumps. The was fire beyond good!!! Beer selection is ok but I had two decent ones which for me is good. Drink menu is fun, something for everyone. Super busy on weekends, go early. Great food, fun place! Great food, great value, fun staff.“

“Today I visited Kohoku Ku Ramen and ordered takoyaki and EBI ramen.
The food was really delicious. The takoyaki was crispy on the outside and soft inside, with a rich and flavorful sauce. The EBI ramen had a strong shrimp aroma, and the broth was rich and tasty.
I wasn’t feeling well today and had a stuffy nose, but the hot soup with a slightly spicy kick really helped clear my head. It felt so comforting and refreshing.
Overall, a great experience—definitely a place I would come back to!“

“I got the tonkatsu tsukemen and it was so good. The porky broth was perfect balance of garlic. It also came with bean sprouts, and egg, and 5 slices of pork. Great value. Also got the fried chicken and it was so soft and crispy with not a lot of batter. Service is great and everyone really cares here“

“The Veggie Ramen had the most delicious mushrooms and the fried rice is the best fried rice I've ever eaten. This will be my go to restaurant every time I come to the city. I cannot recommend this place enough.“

“Food is always delicious!! Never disappoints!!“

“Best Ramen in all of NYC!“

“We came in a party of five - two adults and three kids. We ordered one tsukemen, two ramen (deluxe and miso), one kid’s meal, and one fried chicken (karaage with Korean spicy sauce). All were delicious and filling. Anime is playing from a projector on the wall, which kept my boys occupied and quiet 😉. Staff were polite to us and the kids. I hope this place gets more attention that it deserves! Here is one photo from my meal (deluxe tsukemen).“

“So I used to work in a ramen shop a while back and have tried several of the popular and some now closed ramen shops in NYC (like Ippudo, Ivan, Totto, Andante, Minca, Ichiran). However, Karazishi Botan is top-tier, if not the best ramen in NYC. This local gem always hits, be it unique takes on Tonkotsu, Tsukemen, or Tokyo-style Shoyu. Broth, noodles, and toppings all executed excellently and with great attention to detail. Their giant karaage and yuzu asahi draft also worth mentioning! They even gave my wife and I a rose when we stopped in on Valentine’s Day. Usually like to gate keep places like these but highly recommend visiting !“

“Our waiter was awesome and very transparent! First time here and he made it the best! Didn’t get his name but he has black glasses. I wish All servers were this awesome.❤️“

“I love the serving. Thank you“

“Yum yum went with my kids Cookie and Bill.Loved my vegetarian ramen soup.“

“Was visiting my godchild and she wanted to eat here. The staff was amazing as was the ramen. Cozy and cool. We went for lunch on a Saturday and we were seated right away. I would definitely go back“

“This spot was phenomenal! I stopped in for a solo meal on my way to meeting my partner at Madison Square Garden and had a great experience. The ramen was some of best I’ve had in NYC. The staff members I spoke to were incredibly friendly and welcoming. I can’t wait to go back and try the donburi.“

“Great service. Excellent food.“

“Food is delicious, fresh and you get to pick the spice level.“

“It was such a beautiful place, the food was absolutely delicious. The service was definitely great, thanks to our server Creighton. They made my friends and I feel so comfortable and it was so easy to talk to them, especially because of their smile!!! This place is definitely worth it, will for sure come back again especially for a nice weekend outing.😊“

“Beste Ramen ... 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩“

“Truly one of the best reasons to go here is that there is no other restaurants that has a simple high quality menu that leaves you feeling both comfortable and intrigued. It's got comfort food vibes and trendy vibes but it's more a place you want to go to. Food is fantastic, service is good, desserts are good, bubble tea is pleasant, starters or lighter items are flavorful Everything is cooked with fine skill so that you can feel like you are eating traditional comfort food options without them feeling boring, they feel exciting and lovely. even when I try my friend's spicy choices (we trade a little of our food to give us two dishes to sample) I love them even though I'm supposed to avoid spicy I like it so it's a joy to sample the menu.“

“This place was very chill low key, I got a Spicy Pork Ramen and it was so good hands down ! On the walk in once you sit they give you tea which was very herbal and needed because it was Freezing outside and beforehand we did some running around so it immediately chilled the vibe! It wasn’t crowded and it felt very authentic to this place. Service was very accommodating and atmosphere was chill, it’s a smaller establishment so if there were more than 4 of us in a group it would be hard to sit same table, but nonetheless it wouldn’t have affected anything in my eyes.“

“We had such a cozy, satisfying meal at Ippudo V with the modern and warm vibe, perfect for a comforting ramen night. Loved their all-vegan selection, which is honestly refreshing to see done so thoughtfully.

We started with the Vrooklyn Gyoza, it was easily one of the best vegan gyozas I have had in a long time. They were incredibly flavorful with a subtle smoky depth.

For ramen, we tried Platon Tonkotsu, their take on the signature tonkotsu-style broth. It was unique, deeply flavorful, and felt like warmth served in a bowl. The tofu and fried enoki mushrooms added great texture, comforting, hearty, and just so yummy. We also tried the Dragon Tantan which had bold, rich, aromatic broth. Deeply satisfying and layered with flavor.
I was really excited to try the Orange Fruit Sandwich for dessert. The flavors were nice and refreshing, though the bread felt slightly dry. That said, it was easy to overlook considering how fabulous the savory dishes were.

The only area that could use some improvement is the service. It was quite slow and there’s definitely room to elevate the experience.

Overall, a fantastic vegan ramen spot I would happily return to.“

“Fun, tasty, authentic and delicious.“

“食物美味 價格合宜 環境整潔溫馨 服務態度極佳 素食友善餐廳“

“Everything is good, it's just a little hot/humid but I don't really think that's their fault.“

“Not crowded for a Sunday lunch.

Shoyu ramen - thick sliced meat is not the most tender but okay.

Tonkotsu ramen - I like the thick pork broth.

Takoyaki - a little small, skin slightly too dry, but taste is there.

Prices and portions are reasonable for midtown.

Service is okay. Not the most attentive. Overall, an okay meal. The free flow happy hour looks intriguing.“

“One of the best meals I have ever had in my life.“

“Just awesome. Fast. Efficient. Great.“

“Went to this establishment this week. The customer service ( Sawyer - our Table Staff professional ) was out of this world. The food was tasty, professionally presented and Portion size was large with a price point that is never seen these days. Pricing is beyond reasonable. Classy, elegant, yet very comfortable!“

“Vibes and more vibes def recommended“

“Such great broth! Best ramen I’ve ever had! Black garlic!“

“Great spot, and open pretty late too!“

“The beef bibimbap is amazing.“

“Ended up here accidentally on a layover: Hands down, the best ramen I’ve ever had (springy, slurpy perfection), amazing cocktails (if you like gin the Japanese 75 is a must try!), and whatever the whipped cream, creme brûlée’d banana dessert was tasted like heaven. I even ordered another tonkotsu ramen to go (all the way to Florida) to bring back to my fiancé. They separated all of it, packaged it so it wouldn’t leak, and wrote directions on specific timing for heating up each item! Very impressive service. I’ll be back again!“

“I got the basic Ramen and it was great! Next time I will add the extras. It was our first time so we didn’t know what to expect. Great texture and the broth was rich. Absolutely amazing! All I knew was that a friend said it was one of the most authentic places he has been to and he recommended that I try it while in New York! Not disappointed at all!!“

“Fabulous food. Everything we had was delicious. The chicken wings were the bomb.“

“I am absolutely obsessed with the Zebra Shio! I opt for spicy chicken instead of pork and I add green onion which just elevates the flavor even more! The service is always great and Angie is always the sweetest and provides the best customer service! A must try if you are in the area looking for delicious ramen!“

“Great service! I xcellent foor“

“My best friend and I visited Susukino Ramen last night and it was honestly a 10/10 experience from start to finish. We decided to try their $29 dinner special, which includes your choice of ramen, sushi, and an appetizer — and it was absolutely worth it.

Everything came out fresh, hot, and beautifully presented. The ramen was rich and flavorful without being too heavy, and the portion size was perfect. The sushi tasted incredibly fresh and well-balanced, and you could tell care was put into the preparation. Even the appetizer exceeded expectations — nothing felt rushed or thrown together. Every dish was consistent and high quality.

The atmosphere really made the night even better. The restaurant felt cozy and warm but still spacious and comfortable. It wasn’t overcrowded or loud, which made it the perfect setting to relax, catch up, and enjoy a good meal. The lighting and overall vibe created such a welcoming environment — especially for sushi and ramen.

Service was smooth and attentive without being overwhelming. Overall, it was one of those dining experiences where everything just hits — food, vibe, value, and company. We’ll definitely be back soon and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great dinner spot.“

“I recently visited Kajiken, and it absolutely deserves a 5-star review. The restaurant offers an incredible dining experience, especially if you enjoy rich and flavorful Japanese cuisine. Their signature aburasoba is perfectly balanced, with chewy noodles, savory sauce, and fresh toppings that all come together amazingly once mixed. The staff were friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere was clean, modern, and comfortable for a casual meal in the city. Everything from the quality of the ingredients to the presentation showed real attention to detail. If you’re looking for a unique and delicious meal, Kajiken is definitely worth visiting and easily earns a full five stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Tom yum amazing taste. A must“
