“I always order the Rich modern Tonkotsu it’s super creamy and rich!!!! They never miss. You have the option to order the noodles cooked or Uncooked which is why some people may say the noodles are raw.If you’re thinking about it You should definitely order from here !!!“
“You definitely want to make a reservation if you want to not wait to be seated. This place fills fast. We went when the weather still had a bite in the air. We opted to sit outside in the covered heated patio. Which turned out to be a great place to sit. Highly recommend this. Our waiter recommended all our foods, which change with the seasons. The appetizer of the curry cauliflower was excellent. The triple garlic pork was so good, I could’ve had another bowl. My daughter really enjoyed the fried chicken. The chicken paitan comes with a raw egg that you break the yolk into the hot broth that creates the sauce. The ramen noodles are excellent. They fresh with a nice chew to them. It was my daughter boyfriend’s birthday and they brought to the table a slice of the yuzu cheesecake which was unlike any cheesecake we’ve ever tasted. (with a candle) the overall cost for five people with a glass of wine and a bottle of beer was about $119 w/o tip. Also you scan the code on the table to get the menu. Parking is not easy. ( NYC) if you can take the train, bus or Uber.“
“I tried out Bua on the Upper East Side, and I'm so glad I went because everything for me was phenomenal. The food and drinks were both excellent, service was quick, and the atmosphere was very welcoming and inviting. They have a spacious outdoor area which is nice, as you get some good outdoor views. Plus, the staff was friendly and accommodating with all customer needs and food allergies/dietary restrictions. I personally do not have any thankfully, but they asked when I ordered and thought that was very courteous. I would definitely go back and recommend to anyone else.“
“Everyone in NYC raves about Tonchin, and it's definitely worth a try. It's super popular so make sure you make a reservation. The space itself is fairly large and comfortable. The Momo mocktail ($12) was sweet and refreshing. As for food, I went for the Tonchin Classic Tokyo Tonkotsu ($21). It was delicious, with a rich and savory broth and perfectly jammy egg. However, I have had better value elsewhere with more toppings, meat, etc.“
“Delicious ramen, one of the best in town. It was especially perfect for me as I don’t eat pork and it’s always hard to get a non-pork ramen. Here they have chicken, beef, veggies broths! Amazing! Japanese curry was also delicious. I’ll be coming back “
“I’ve been thinking about visiting here and I finally did it days ago. It didn’t meet my expectations, also slightly pricy, but some nice things.Ramen was good but average. One a slice of bamboo and a slice of pork, and over $20.Good part for me: the pork was well seasoned and cooked! Definitely the highlight of the whole bowl. And surprisingly, soup is clean, not oily. But overall, the taste was kinda dull, no layers for me.Soft serve was delicious, barley with beautiful honey taste. But it was a little bit watery and too soft, melted really fast.“
“3.8/5 stars My first time visited Kame on Saturday it was a bit busy so we had to wait in the line but only for 10-15 mins. I had Spicy Tonkotsu ramen(19$) the braised pork belly was super soft but the broth is just ok in my opinion the black garlic oil is too strong that I couldn't even drink the soup but I did like the noodles tho. I added onsen egg for (2$) and it was just ok to me because I think marinated boiled eggs would be better with the ramen. Noodles 3.7/5 Pork belly 4.5/5 Creamy broth 2.8/5 Onsen egg 3/5 Drink Plum lemonade 4.5/5 The food was good but this is just my personal taste buds. If I'm in the area I might come back but I wouldn't go out just to go there. P.S The ramen came with 2pcs of chashu but I ordered extra that's why it looks like it's a lot in my bowl“
“Best ramen i have had in nyc. The noodles are very fresh and homemade. The broths while mildvin flavor were not over powered by 5 spice common in other places. I love the ramen extras you csn get. The buns and app were just ok. Service was great! Very friendly.“
“Ottimo ristorante di Ramen (giapponese e non quello "tarocco" o fatto con quello istantaneo del supermercato) che offre anche una fantastica selezione di ravioli. Prezzi tutto sommato accettabili per la media della città e acqua gratuita. Posto piccolo, accogliente, staff cordiale e velocissimo. Porzioni corpose quindi ordinate con cautela o non riuscirete a finire tutto.“
“Nice calm place in West Village without all the pretentiousness. Although located sub level the place is spacious and well aired, in fact much better than many joints in Manhattan. The ramen was excellent, real tokyo style. Price was fair considering the big portions.Wheelchair accessibility: Not possible. Only stairs.“
“Mmm, so good. We were staying at the nearby Park Central Hotel and looking for a decent restaurant within a quick walk. This one cropped up with good reviews, so we figured we'd try it. Best meal of our week-long NYC trip! I got the Curry Ramen, which was fantastic, with perfectly crispy pork katsu and nicely springy ramen noodles. My wife and daughter also enjoyed their selections. I think one was the Kin Ramen (which I also got to finish, since it was too big for my daughter -- the chashu pork was excellent!The place has a hip and cozy atmosphere. Service is friendly and quick. An excellent place to satisfy your ramen craving!“
“Wonderful food, great atmosphere, nice staff. We came in last week with a large group after a work party, and everything was perfect. Good options for vegetarians also. Thank you! 全部は美味しかった!ごちそうさまでした。“
“It’s a must to stop by when we visit NYC…. Perfect for a chilly day or if you just want some bomb ramen! The host guy manages really well and is professional when speaking to the customers. Overall our favorite place for ramen and trust me… my wife is picky.“
“My favorite ramen joint in New York! Go here on a jazz night if you can, because the ambience with the artists is even more incredible. This is my 3rd time here, and while everything is great, I’d specifically recommend: spicy ramen, spicy tsukemen, oysters mp, and mango kakigori. Between the freshly made noodles and flavorful broths, all of the noodle dishes are the perfect cozy meal. I was pleasantly surprised by the oysters, which came with a yuzu mint vinaigrette that added a bright vibrancy to each oyster. Don’t shy away from getting dessert the end! The shaved ice is a great way to end on a refreshing note without feeling bogged down by sugar. Note that this place fills up quick, so reserve in advance or come early to beat the wait. Follow me on ig @chloenicholle for more nyc food reviews!“
“Our experience at NR, was mostly positive. The Japanese fried chicken appetizer left us underwhelmed, lacking that special touch. However, the chicken soup curry stole the show with its amazing taste and generous portion size, making it a preferable choice over the ramen.Speaking of ramen, while it wasn't bad, it didn't quite justify making a special trip here for it. There are other spots in the city that excel in ramen. On the bright side, the service was excellent, and the ambiance had a charming speakeasy vibe, evoking the essence of old NYC.Overall, NR is a great spot to visit with a date or friends, offering a delightful experience with standout dishes like the chicken soup curry. However, if you're solely craving ramen, you might find better options elsewhere in the city.“
“cozy spot w decent ramen & good service. not too much seating but plenty of room when we came at 8pm on a sunday. nothing superrrrre special compared to other ramen places & i think would probably only come back if i was super cold or something(each ramen comes out to around $28 after tip amd tax)“
“Wow! The Tsukemen here is amazing! Definitely a Star ⭐️. If you like a fish based broth then this place is for you. You must order using phone to scan the QR code. And you must pay the bill that way. Slightly complicated if you’re a party of 2 or more. Bar/Counter seating only. Very tight and narrow space, which makes getting to the restroom difficult. Food is worth all the hassle. Reasonably priced. Electronic payment is mandatory. We will definitely be going back.Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian optionsDietary restrictions: Something for all dietary needsParking: Street parking fills up quicklyKid-friendliness: Not really for kidsWheelchair accessibility: Not“
“Giving it a 4 stars because the effort and intent was there, but the Miso ramen was unfortunately too rich for my tastes and I couldn't finish the broth, although the wavy noodles were perfect, very Q. The Karaage was some of the best I've ever had - it came out quickly and straight out of the fryer and it was melting in my mouth.One waitress was working the whole restaurant and was doing a fantastic job. 5 star service for sure.“
“Another brilliant meal! I never miss the opportunity to eat here when I’m in NYC and I Love sharing this place with people I know. An exceptional menu, great cocktails, amazing and attentive service and always a delightful culinary experience. Bravo!“
“I’m on my business trip from Japan and looking ramen restaurant near my hotel in Soho, I found this restaurant! They have various Japanese menu like sushi, katsu don and of course ramen. I really like the Shio(Salty) Ramen with light chicken&salmon broth-they told this is their new lunch menu. Definitely will be back because would like to try other menus!“
“Okonomi holds such a special spot in my heart. Serving authentic Japanese breakfast sets in a cozy, quaint setting, the food is even more comforting. The service was great, as was the food. The fish was cooked perfectly and the side vegetables/miso soup was delicious. I just love everything about Okonomi and can't wait to go back!“
“Searched the web looking for oyster and came across this place! I came as a solo during happy hour & sat at the bar … oysters were 1.75$ , clean, fresh and yummyDrink was pretty pricey (17$) but definitely worth the try, the aroma and craft of the drink was appreciated. I had “the smoke”.Also tried the shrimp bun , soooo soft it almost melted in my mouth ! Food was AMAZING! I would visit again!“
“Tiny cozy place for ramen. Had full ramen bar and maybe 4-5 tables. They serve asahi on tap and offer chu-hi. Ramen broth was mostly chicken based but had a high content of garlicky and salt flavor. You can choose thin or wavy noodles. I would say save yourself from gyoza. I found them crispy but lacking flavor and juiciness when you take that first bite. Over all satisfying and around 20 bucks a bowl.“
“Whether one is a novice or ramen aficionado, the Tomato Beef Stew Noodle is a good soup to try. The entree was reminiscent of a beef sinigang albeit without the tamarind. The boneless meat just melted in my mouth.The atmosphere was warm and so was the service. There is also a kiosk available near the door of one wishes to order takeout.“
“Absolutely wonderful bowl of ramen. I had the New Tokyo ramen and the broth was perfectly layered with flavor. It's not as clean as something like Tsutas, but very enjoyable in its own way. The only thing I can knock is the chicken, which was a tad dry.“
“The atmosphere was spot on--nice choice of music, and the dining was cozy but not squishy. Service was prompt, and they refilled our water jar well in advance. Our order was taken promptly, and the check on the back end came quickly, too.“
“I’m addicted to eating these instant ramen noodles with the birria meat ?!! It was super delicious, noodles were cooked perfectly, and the meat was very savory, it also had a touch of spice to it, which made it even better ??!I also enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant it was very minimal and cute to eat alone or with friends. I met the owners of the restaurant and they were very kind and helpful when I came my first time ☺️“
“Located right in the center of busy Austin Street, this gem was a great choice for delicious and filling ramen at very affordable prices. Before you enter, you'll find yourself staring at the wooden, cozy storefront that screams "comfort food". To start off, we had the kara-age and takoyaki which were good with a drizzle of lemon. However, the main star was my kara miso ramen with pork, which had a hearty miso soup base with a dab of spice sauce. There are also non-pork options such as the seafood yaki bowl, which my friend had. Despite the full house on a friday evening, the service was great and very attentive. We left with a full stomach and a warm soul. Highly recommend :)“
“We visited E.A.K. Ramen and were blown away at how wonderful our experience was. The service, food, and atmosphere were everything we were looking for. We recently visited Chicago and had ramen, which set the bar high. E.A.K. Ramen met our expectations and beyond. You can truly taste the love their team puts into preparing food. Our server even went out of her way to mix me a mocktail that ended up tasting better than the drink I originally had in mind. We will absolutely visit E.A.K. again. Thank you all for such wonderful service.“
“Suram is one of my best kept secrets in Hudson Yards, but I'm no longer gatekeeping! Setting: Centered near the Hudson Yards Shops and the Vessel, Suram features a dimly lit ambiance with tones of black, silver, and gold. Service: Kind waitstaff and the food came out at an expected pace for a sushi/ramen spot. Food: I got the sake don (salmon bowl - $29) and the spicy avocado crunch roll ($10). Both were at a great value, especially for the location and the flavor. Can't wait to return!“
“Pretty big Ramen ? restaurant. Nice staff and good food. Reasonably priced. Credit cards ? are accepted. The spicy ?️ Ramen was the Star ⭐️. Extra Noodle option is a great idea ?. We will definitely be going back.Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian optionsDietary restrictions: Something for all dietary needsParking: Street parking fills up quicklyKid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: Not when accessible“
“If your looking for a authentic and cute atmosphere go to shinjuku ramen it has exceptional food. The staff is welcoming and professional.For starters the gyoza was yummy, perfectly prepared but the mains were exceptional, the shoyu king ramen was the best ramen we ever had and the eel and rice dish was also really good in flavor and the eel was done perfectly also the miso king ramen was very flavorful ,the miso flavor was exquisite . If your looking for a delicious place to eat around 60th and 5th you should definitely go to shinjuku ramen.Beware ,other ramens will be inferior after you have theirs.“
“Whoever said this place is a hidden gem was right. I went early to avoid the happy hour rush. That said you get a discount from 4-7pm so if you’re not picky on seating that’s when I recommend paying a visit. Attached is the photos of what I ordered.“
“Went there for lunch with four others. Wr call the Donburi but different types. The apps were the usual Edamame (can't mess this up) and some tasty pan fried Gyoza. We all enjoyed our Donburi and finished them but I thought it was kind of bland so really 3.5 on the food.“
“A really cute mom-and-pop Japanese restaurant in LIC/Astoria. Came in for lunch and absolutely loved the vibes here❣️They have a very straight-forward lunch menu and I thought the pricing was so good given the quality and the portion of everything. We got the Sashimi+Sushi set and the Ramen+Sushi set and it was such a satisfying meal! Would definitely like to return :)“
“Nestled in NYC's Upper East Side, Me Jin Ramen delivered authentic Japanese flavors. The cozy ambiance and welcoming staff set the stage for a memorable dining experience. I had the Meijin Miso Ramen and ate the whole thing. The broth, simmered to perfection, harmonizes with the chewy, house-made noodles and exquisite toppings like tender beef, bean sprouts, green onions and sweet corn. As a local, I treasure Meijin Ramen for its consistently exceptional quality and comforting atmosphere. For a taste of Japan in the heart of NYC, Meijin Ramen is an absolute must-visit.“
“Blown away like a torpedo out of the water ? ?Michelin star quality BROTH with beef bone marrow. ??Ramen was good but the broth, oh the broth, no words …. I grew up here and ate pretty much at all the Asian hot spots from Mott St to cheap eats on Christie St. I wouldn’t have to pay more than $3.50 - $12 for a bowl of noodles.So $21 for this beef bone marrow ramen aka GYUKOTSU is damn excessive but rightly justified. I waited 15 minutes and well worth it ??I can devour this for lunch 7 days straight ?First time here and I sat at the beer garden mistakenly. A more chill & laid back Japan setting is a quick walk up the steps.2 establishments sharing 2 types of cuisine ✅✅“
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this establishment, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. The food was absolutely delicious, and the customer service provided by our server, Rochelle, was outstanding. Rochelle warm demeanor and attentiveness made our meal truly enjoyable. She was knowledgeable about the menu, offered excellent recommendations, and ensured that all our needs were met throughout the evening. I highly recommend this restaurant!“
“There's something special about enjoying a steaming bowl of ramen on a chilly day. The warmth and comfort it provides can be truly satisfying. If you're looking for a place to enjoy this delicious dish, consider visiting Hide-Chan Ramen. Their ramen is not only delicious but also the perfect way to warm up on a cold day.“
“Absolutely fantastic sushi. Amazing quality and out of this world flavor. Staff was so friendly. I showed up exactly at open and they were so happy and accommodating. I usually find showing up at open is a visible nightmare for servers. This is my new favorite spot for sushi. And it’s very quick.“
“This is my favourite restaurant in New York. The service is amazing. I could have this for breakfast, lunch and dinner for my whole life. The owner gave me a free drink.I recommend this place because The food is amazing. Everyone is so nice. It makes my life so good. We had the pork Ramen, amazing , we also had the spicy chicken that was so flavourful and and the salmon poke bowl that so fresh,it tasted like heaven.Review by Rawly (12)“
“My partner and I have been coming to Susuru, more or less once a week, for about a year now. It’s « our spot » we love it. We get the same order every time, miso ramen and spicy tuna poke. I usually get a lucky cup sake as well. We love the takoyaki as well, but all their apps are great. The atmosphere is incredible. We love the going on a quiet, rainy day around lunch time.“
“We came by for lunch at about 2pm on a Thursday. The chicken ramen has quite a strong flavour which is great, the portion is decent and the egg is very umami and so good. The only downside is there’s no spicy options available so you have to add on the spicy condiments on the side. The sauerkraut pepper doesn’t look much but it’s a spice (and flavour) bomb, yum!Service is great, the honeycomb seats are cosy and has lots of privacy for conversations. What a great lunch, we’ll be back!“
“RATING: 7.1/10 My friend who goes here regularly told me that if I was in Greenpoint I should check it out - while it's not necessarily a destination spot, it is surprisingly good for being "just a neighborhood spot." Since I was spending all day eatin gin Greenpoint anyway, I decided to give it a shot CLASSIC SHOYU Ok, so I will say that that yes the broth is better than you might expect from a regular ramen place but not quite meeting standards of "you GOT to come to greenpoint to try this place." However, if you live here or in a neighboring area, DO order out when want ramen. The noodles though are really great quality and have a perfect chew, with wavy shape which is my preference. The meat is nice and salty. If I'm back in the neighborhood, I would definitely come back!“
“Dukes Ramen has the most incredible flavors I’ve ever tasted. I’ve been coming here since it opened and the owner, chefs, and hostess are all accommodating and extremely friendly. I love the ambient atmosphere and am in love with the food. My favorite item is the takoyaki :)“
“The restaurant is one of those places that if you walk by and pass by, you will want to enter. The atmosphere is very enveloping and the lights are dim and since it is a small space, it makes it cozy.The food was delicious, we ordered takoyaki and tonkotsu ramen. They were exquisite and the portions were big, we ordered one plate of each (there were two of us) and it was more than enough.Although for me, the ramen had a lot of scallion and was somewhat saturated, but for everything else it was very delicious. To drink, we ordered Ramune (a very smooth and delicious Japanese soda) and we also ordered a Japanese cocktail that I don't remember the name of but it had something similar to jelly, it was very sweet and mild but we enjoyed it quite a bit.The girl from the staff who served us was very friendly, she gave us very good suggestions regarding food and drinks and was attentive to everything.Something important, we went with our cat and she was allowed as long as she was obedient (we had her inside the briefcase), there was no problem for our baby.So if you want a cozy experience and to enjoy japanese food, this is the place.“
“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!!“
“Finally, I have found a ramen shop in NYC that matches Tonchin. I'm surprised this place wasn't that busy on a Saturday night (and surprised it only had 800 reviews on Google). The XO Miso Ramen had a super savory broth and (somehow) savory vegetables. They cooked and infused some flavoring into the vegetables before adding it to the bowl (they could have served the veggies as a dish themselves). They tasted way better than the usual, almost raw veggies that get added to ramen. In addition, the way they reduced the XO sauce into the soy meat blew me away: incredible flavoring by itself, even better with the broth and veggies.The truffle miso ramen was good but not as tasty as the XO Miso ramen. This one had a very mushroom-heavy broth, and the vegetables took the liberty to coat themselves with the truffle oil that was added, so the broth itself didn't get that taste (rather then veggies did).I like my noodles firm but they were cooked too firm here (not raw, just barely cooked), so you may want to request softer noodles. In addition, the chili oil is actually seriously spicy, be careful!“
“I love the ambiance in this place, the wood accents and clean lines is really soothing. We came on a Friday night and didn’t make a reservation. It wasn’t busy but there was only one server so it was slower but the server was friendly and attentive. The ramen is AMAZING! Highly HIGHLY recommend stopping in for the ramen, it will not disappoint. The fried chicken and octopus appetizers were good but in our minds we thought they’d be different.“
“This place is amazing! I had the chili wontons and omg! The wonton is so juicy and the chili sauce is so tasty! Also had the fried chicken rice bowl Which was really good. The service is a bit slow because they're so busy. The ambiance is ok. No one actually sitting and eating. Luved it and can't wait to go back!“
