Tasty food, good cocktails, and a unique setting. All the seats are bar/counter in the front, and there’s a small enclosed back seating area—they can accommodate about 20 people at once indoors, which is impressive in the space. Varied menu with assorted options of soba and ramen. Lots of vegetarian options. The lychee cocktail was nice. People seemed to like the canned Hi Chus, too. The ramen and soba both had a good amount of noodles and were filling. The flan was nice, not super sweet with strong cha flavor. Friendly staff. There were some people hanging out for quite a while and they didn’t rush anyone out.

Thoroughly enjoyed my spicy dandan ramen at Samurai Papa last night. Well worth a visit— the vibes and service are great.

Fantastic, authentic ramen spot. After trying samurai mama (incredible!) I found that papa is their sister shop. The names are incredibly accurate; papa is more of a traditional, classical, ma and pa feel; mama is more of a rustic upscaled vibe, and the ramen is slightly lighter. Heavier broth is in the tanban ramen, though flavorful and great ratio of noddles to soup to additions. The pork was well prepared. You can tell they take pride in their service and food. No MSG meant my stomach was not on fire of inflammation and swelling. I had leftovers as well - I only got the ramen soup . I will absolutely be coming back and referring to others!

some of the best ramen i’ve ever had, you can tell a lot of care and love gets put into the broth. they have a $25 happy hour special that’s a great deal for a weeknight meal.

Food and place is good. What I didn’t like was when I asked for WiFi they told me was only for restaurant management ! WiFi is like water people work remotely all the time

Took my son here for dinner. Food did not disappoint ?. The staff were so amazing, the drinks were absolutely perfect. Great date spot, theirs also and outdoor area with privacy ?. I had the calamari salad and the salmon bento, and my son had the shrimp shumai and Tonbara Pork Cloudy Soup Ramen. This place 10/10

Ramen is just okay. The broth really lacks complexity, pork is quite over done, and the ingredients seem to be of low quality, especially for the price.

Service isn’t great either. Most recently I did take out and they forgot the broth in my ramen…didn’t really seem to care that I came all the way back in to get it either.

Not sure how it has such good reviews, feels like they’ve given up.

This was the best (vegan) ramen I ever had. It's hard to find good vegan options but this one was delicious, from the entrée, to the drinks and dessert. The food also came out really quick and everyone working was so sweet. Really a great spot and happy to have it here in Bed-Stuy!

Absolutely delicious food for a great price. It also came out quickly! We sat outside in a little hut which was very cozy since there is not much indoor seating. Perfect meal for a rainy night.

Outdoor insulated seating pods are very comfortable and provide a very private / intimate experience.
