Portion sizes were underwhelming. Flavor and substance of dishes were not up to par. If you're looking for good Japanese food go to Soboku instead. Cheaper prices, better portions, better flavor.

I haven’t had a vegan ramen better than this in NYC, or been to a Japanese restaurant that offers the amount of vegan options they do! Be sure to ask your server, a few dishes on the menu say vegetarian but they are in fact vegan!
Food was excellent, such interesting variety and the flavors work so well! Place was lovely, staff friendly, and a good happy hour!

Unfortunately, I wasn't impressed by the Iron Men, takoyaki, or matcha fries - they were quite mid. The noodles were good quality but the broth had much to be desired and there were no toppings included which is not what I expect from a ramen shop.
The Point Blank ramen was good though and the outdoor setting was very nice.

I love everything about this place. The ramen is ridiculously good (go for the pan head). Drinks are on point, staff friendly. Also go for the booster (side of hot sauce) and red dumplings for appetizer. Love it here.

Food is good, the dishes served are uncommon for the United States. The service is isn't very good, felt like the waitress couldn't spare us an extra 5 seconds and was running off. I noticed an Asian man and child come in after us, he was seated and served food before we received anything at our table. Also the waitress would give him more time and speak with him, felt like there was some discrimination. It is only bad for the business, I wanted to order more food but didn't want to wait another 50 minutes for a plate of oxtail.

My experience here was nothing less than perfect! We were greeted so warmly by multiple staff members who were also attentive throughout our meal. The edamame and seaweed salad were yummy starters! You can’t go wrong with the ramen or curry. Both simply made and full of flavor.

Black dumplings were the best dumplings I have ever had in my entire life. I am over 50 years old and I have never tasted dumplings that I loved before these.
I also had the iron man ramen. The broth was incredible…I drank it all before I left.
Services was great and speed was great. It was not crowded when we ate at around 12pm
I would definitely suggest eating here.

Excellent Japanese food. We had the black dumplings, the special ramen, the pork miso ramen and the curry with pork cutlet. The ramen was excellent. The special ramen was very spicy and flavorful, some of the best I’ve ever had. The curry was also amazing, pretty much the best Japanese curry I’ve had in the US. Highly recommended!

Incredible vegan ramen
There's only one vegan ramen on the menu but my non-vegan friend said it was the best thing on it and had serious order envy.
Don't be afraid of the three chilis, the spice level was very manageable
Love the horseradish ramen.
The seasonal ramen was insanely salty especially after the miso paste was mixed in.
Lots of (3!) unique veggie ramen (matcha broth and kale noodles!). They have some other unique items like matcha fries. The veggie ramen is more complex than most other veggie ramens Ive had and the soy meat is good. I wish they had an option that was heavier on the vegetables though.
