“Service is amazing. Comfortable seating and they always try to accommodate me despite big groups. SO amazingly kid friendly they even have a kid set and HH after the kids get off school. My kids love the toyo buns and the ramen. Go tonkotsu black for good broth. AND their smoothies and juices are made with fresh fruit!“

“The only all vegan ramen restaurant I know and it’s a franchise of the famous Japanese ramen restaurant Ippudo. All of the their ramen are rich and flavorful. They also have sushi and sandwiches, appetizers besides ramen which are also great. My non-vegan family and friends love it too.“

“Always a staple in our visits to NYC. Never disappointed. Can be packed sometimes, but so worth it. Really good music and atmosphere.“

“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 !“

“Food was top notch, and the service was very attentive and excellent. Hidden gem in park slope ✨ Wish I had more room in my stomach to try the desserts, will have to just go back to happy hour so I can try more of the small dishes!“

“One of my favorite places to go. The best Ramen spot!! Extremely satisfied with the food. I have been here more than 20 times and it has always been great. The quality and hygiene is consistent and everyone I take here, wants to go back. ♡“

“I love this place so much, the ramen is great but I love the breadth of other types of appetizers and mains they have. The katsu don, the karaage curry, the croquettes, they’re all very solid and I love how they’re open fairly late. My neighborhood spot!“

“Sok. Nothing remarkable but it passes the bar. The unagi don (eel dish) was more or less. But it lacked the grilled, caramelized taste of good unagi don (eel that’s been caramelized and crisped with a flamer, they skipped this step). The sushi was good, decent, but not wow. Kinda generic and expensive for what it is. No sushi roll specials. It feels like it’s trying to be “everything to everybody,” and a lil bit misses the mark for this. Service was immaculate though, very fast and friendly, hence why I am being generous with the stars (4 stars not 3)“

“delicious food. great music.“

“Came on a day I need a hearty meal and good vibes. This was exactly what I wanted. I enjoyed the Takatsu Ramen that was nicely portioned. My friend did have the beef over rice and noted the rice seemed to taste and feel old (so I minus a star on her behalf). I also enjoyed a Thai iced tea, which you can’t go wrong (and they did not)!“

“Can’t believe I walked by this spot so many times and didn’t go in until now. Cute and cozy, really extensive menu. Food was amazing and came out fast. The pork curry & rice is so good! Will definitely be back for more.“

“Great food. Very diverse menu. We were shocked that even the french fries and edamame were prepared so flavorfully! Sake was incredible and worth buying the bottle. Presentation of my entree was super fancy. Service was 5 stars. Super attentive and friendly. What a great place to get lunch!“

“Some of the best ramen we've ever had. Wish we could have tried them all!! Fantastic.“

“First let me say the place is very cute. Would definitely make a good date location. The atmosphere is 10/10.

They have a lunch special for $18 that nets you a bowl of ramen and dumplings, which I got. The dumplings are very tasty and the ramen followed very close behind. I got a pork ramen and the broth was a nice golden broth, very light and tasty. The pork itself was absolutely delicious, it was soft and tender and melted in my mouth. I do wish you got a whole egg instead of a half, but I appreciate that the eggs are truly marinated (and delicious)

Service was also very fast and friendly. I was able to go on my lunch break without rushing. I appreciate the roasted garlic and sriracha left at the table for you to use as you please. Overall would recommend!“

“Nice and cool in this sweltering weather and happy hour prices from 3 to 7 on a Sunday!❤️❤️❤️“

“Such a chill and cozy Thai spot in Brooklyn with a bright, welcoming atmosphere! We tried the duck and whole branzino, and both were delicious and full of flavor. The lychee martini was refreshing, and the Snow White dessert was such a fun ending to the meal. A lovely neighborhood spot for a relaxed dinner with friends!“

“food is so good! the staff is lovely. very welcoming and inviting.“

“I was visiting a friend in the neighborhood and we stumbled open this place and Wow! Excellent gem, exceeded my expectations!Only 4 tables but it looks like they do a lot of takeout. Fresh and affordable!

I live an hour away uptown, but definitely worth a visit again when I’m back in the area! ❤“

“First off, the only negative - be careful ordering the soft boiled egg! It comes in a shell, and it is very easy to mess up de-shelling it, resulting in a complete waste of a side.

Otherwise, no complaints at all. I was quickly seated at a solo booth, and everything went smoothly.

Food? No complaints (outside of the egg with shell). I had the classic ramen with extra toppings and extra noodles.

Service? Minimal wait - someone came immediately when using the self-service button, every time. I had no issues re-ordering an additional Asahi.

Ambience? Great - inviting, but peaceful.“

“Hi,

I previous left a comment about the ribeye in my ribeye pho being raw. I apologize for that comment as I had not realized at the time that is how it would typically be served. I felt my review needed to be updated after learning that info. My pho was delicious! Just a good refreshing noodle soup. Will be trying their other items soon“

“El sabor de las ramen es espectacular“

“The food was really good but be prepared for an interesting experience. The whole experience was strange. Not good or totally bad. Otherwise we would have walked out but the vibes and the way they ran the place was strange. It could have been the specific day i mean the ac wasn’t working so that’s not their fault or a usual occurrence. However I felt like I was in Europe with the water situation. I’ve never been served cold green tea like it was wine it’s not a negative. They don’t have WiFi so be prepared for that. Then there was the transition for dinner. We came between lunch and dinner so they changed the lighting in the middle of the meal. I don’t mind a little dramatic lighting to set the mood infact I actually love romantic lighting. However there’s a difference between romantic lighting and darkness. If a manager is reading this I recommend getting better table lighting if you are going to turn the lights that low. They also don’t allow outside drinks. We were all going to get cocktails before but we’re kind of put out by not being allowed to bring the lattes inside.

It’s good but If you don’t want strange just go to house of tsukemen instead for better ramen or tsukemen“

“My first Ramen , traditional japanese! So amazing!“

“Absolute favorite spot in Williamsburg! My girlfriend and I have been here three times now, and we are completely hooked. As a meat eater, I have to get the Dancing Dragon Roll with shrimp tempura every single time—it is extremely delicious and an absolute must-try.

​It is also the perfect spot if you are dining with a vegetarian. She doesn't eat meat, and they have excellent options for her, like delicious vegetarian ramen, flavorful curry, and age tofu, alongside great veggie sushi rolls.

​The atmosphere is absolutely lovely—quiet, intimate, and never too loud, making it perfect for a date night.

​A few helpful notes for others:

Accessibility: It is not fully wheelchair accessible as there are three steps up to enter, so you will need a hand getting inside.

Vibe: It doesn't serve alcohol and has a calmer, non-kid-centric vibe, though kids who love sushi will still enjoy the food.

​Everyone needs to experience this place. We will definitely be back!“

“The food is amazingly delicious. The staff is so friendly. I am totally going back“

“OMG. I don't feel like I have adequate words to describe just how amazing this place is.
We got 3 of their signature sushis and they were all out of this world - I really feel like I discovered completely new flavours here! This is a heaven for vegans.

Also: the dark chocolate cheesecake is a must try! It's delicious down to the last bite (we literally ordered it twice haha)“

“We've been coming here for a year now and the ramen has always been executed at a really consistent and high level. The staff are all really nice every time, but want to give a shout out to Kaung! Amazing service and he's really friendly to everyone.“

“Food is amazing every time“

“Great service, big space and able to accommodate a party of 7 pretty quickly on a Friday night. Joanna was out server and she was so delightful and helped with the whole night; really good ramen and sake, we all unanimously agreed we would continue come here!!“

“Strange but wonderful fusion food!“

“Curry ramen with the combo is bomb“

“So glad I stopped in here for dinner. I was looking for something light yet filling. The spot is intimate and in a strip mall so I didn’t have much expectations. When you walk in it feels so serene & authentic! The food was great portion sizes, extremely fresh sushi and wonderful service. My entire dinner appetizer, entree, & dessert was less than $30. I’ll definitely become a regular here!“

“It was only one other party there when I arrived so I was able to order relatively quickly. I ordered the Za Jiang Noodle and the Spicy Wonton in Red Chili. I loved the wontons. Those were my favorite. I asked the guy behind the register what was his favorite between the marinated fried chicken and the wontons. He mentioned the wontons. They were really flavorful and had a nice spice to it. The texture was good and everything I had tasted fresh. The noodles were separate from the toppings since I was having it to go. I did end up with leftovers and day two of the noodles kind of reminded me of a spaghetti with minced meat texture. the food was delicious.“

“I wasn’t really having too good of a day going around the city and coming back from work in the heat, i stopped by the area, and i just decided “Why not” I really like this place though, genuinely a welcome environment and the one server here was nice and patient too. The food even though I really only had 2 things since my appetite kinda went away from a bad day it made me feel better. The boiled edamame and the sausage skewer were really good even if they were just starter items. I recommend this place. Nice decor, good food, good service. Surprised it isn’t more busy“

“very good Ramen....,.....,“

“We came upon this restaurant accidentally and am I glad we did!!! Everything was perfect, the atmosphere, service, and that food!! Some of the best I’ve had! Will definitely come back. 😍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😍“

“The restaurant is located in the Dyker Heights section of Brooklyn. They prepare Japanese cuisine. I ordered the sushi bento box. It includes choice of soup or salad, three shumai, rice, and eight pieces of sushi. The sashimi bento box is the same with nine pieces of sashimi. The harumaki are Japanese spring rolls and were crisp. The vegetable gyoza are dumplings with a vegetable filling. The food was fresh, well-prepared and well-priced. Very friendly and helpful staff.“

“I like the egg drop soup .no one better than yum yum in this place.they say they use all white meat chicken.they server Heathy food for all people !that is good!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐damn!!! delicious ramen .I never eat like this before. 🤟🇹🇭🇺🇸💙“

“Setagaya offers many options for more traditional ramen and some more creative things too. I ordered the miso ramen (not the spicy one) and found it to be a good quality standard bowl. The noodles were appropriately chewy. I estimate the egg cook time at something like 7.5-8 minutes. The broth was quite salty, so maybe don't pick the miso ramen if that's a concern for you. Miso is salty and this broth had plenty of it. The grilled pork was fatty and nicely charred.

I've had worse in Tokyo for higher prices than this.“
