really used to love this spot but prices raised to $5 per protein is crazy. I’m a vegetarian and I’d like a couple slices of tofu and 1 egg with my ramen to make it a full meal- now it’s a $30 bowl of veggie ramen which is a tough sell😭 huge bummer to see.

Used to be my fav ramen in the city. They raised prices massively and now nickel and dime you on the add-ons. $5 for a single soy marinated egg is insane.

We were so shocked to see the new prices on the menu that we left before ordering. I used to come here to get a great bowl of ramen with the usual toppings, meat, and an egg add-on for $18-20. The price has skyrocketed to $30 for the same order. Lots of great ramen places in this city with better prices. Unfortunately I can't recommend coming here unless something changes - the value just isn't there.

Went for dinner on a week night! They had 3 different ramen styles and a decent amount of appetizers. Got pretty packed around 630. They had a nice bar seating area and table options. The ramen was good and had lots of add on options!

They charge your credit card With a predetermined tip Before serving your food. Waitress was good but the older manager lady actually told me to change seats before I was finished eating. She was very rude about it too, trying to seat a family of 4 that was coming in. She kept pointing at another seat without apologizing. The food was sub par. Not good. I suggest you go somewhere else. Part of the menu was not available.

I used to love this place. I came back after a few years away and was sad to see the price go up and no longer include almost all the toppings, egg and protein. If you order a ramen with no add ons, it will look sad with cabbage?! And maybe nori? Idk super disappointed. Also the server was wearing maybe half the bottle of cologne and that messed with my smell and taste. I ordered the kimchi ramen and the topping included cabbage lol - kimchi is already cabbage?? By the time I added all the things that used to come with the ramen it was $32 for a bowl that used to be $16-$18. shrinkflation is annoying and lost a customer since 2011. I used to tell everyone I met that this was the best ramen. Weird how people get used to things like this and don’t realize there’s better and cheaper elsewhere in the city!

Charged my credit card twice, but of course there's no way to get ahold of anyone at the restaurant, so I just had to call the card company and contest the second charge. Won't be going back.

The place delivers taste without high costs. You won't encounter similar cuisine at nearby places. The entire staff remembers returning customers. The menu here avoids unnecessary complexity. Although I don't give praise easily, this place earns it.

Wow has this place gone downhill. I've been going to Chuko for at least a dozen years and it's never been as bad as last night. It's fine that they want to charge $25 for a bowl of ramen with chicken- all restaurants have gotten more expensive- but then the quality has to be very high. It used to be the best. Last night, my sesame garlic ramen tasted like dishwater. I was forced to return it and get something else. The restaurant was nearly empty on a Thursday at 8pm. Now I know why.

I love how small and comfy the atmosphere was in the restaurant !! The Ramen was so filling and flavorful ! I will absolutely be coming to try every item on the menu !!
I make it my business to hit my favorite ramen spot every time I'm in Brooklyn

The food quality at this place has declined. This used to be my favorite ramen place in New York, years ago. I hadn't been back in probably 5 years. The ramen options have changed- there's no longer a classic Tonkotsu style ramen. We got two ramens: The sesame garlic ramen tasted strange, not very good at all. The pickled cabbage didn't work. The other was a miso ramen which was okay but the noodles felt cheap and all it came with was corn. You now have to build your own ramen with add ons- eggs and pork don't come included, so the ramen can get pricey quickly. The pork buns were fine and the special pork katsu with curry was fatty but pretty good. So overall, it's a very expensive ramen that really isn't that good. I'd rather try any other ramen place than this one and, as I said, this used to be my favorite.

Great service and ownership! Tater tots with Bonita flakes were so delicious. 10/10 would return.

Haven't dined in at Chuko in a few years but I remember its heyday - the place was ALWAYS packed. This time we were one of 3 tables. I can see why...the food is just not the same quality it once was.

Highly suggest not ordering take out from here. The service has deteriorated over the years to a shameful level. There’s always something missing and then you can’t even reach an actual person. The information provided by the number listed on the receipt says leave a message but then the mailbox is full! Anyway, the most recent atrocity occurred when we ordered three ramens but they only sent two broths! This isn’t cheap ramen either. So we are stuck with cold noodles and splitting two dishes three ways. Strongly suggest ordering somewhere else.
