The ramen has a deep, rich flavor — comforting from the very first sip.
But the best part was the staff: super friendly, attentive without being intrusive, and always with a smile. You can tell they truly enjoy what they do and create a warm, welcoming atmosphere from the moment you walk in. 💛
Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to. #RamenLovers #SetagayaBrooklyn

Found a piece of paper in my ramen.
They skipped my order and served the customers who came after me because they had lost my receipt order. Well, I guess the receipt fell into the cabbage box next to the cashier and came with my soup.

The ramen is too thick, heavy and salty. But aside from that, there was a female worker that was unprofessional and rude. She was working in the back but as we were eating at the table she was blatantly laughing at us. Only once I made eye contact she began to act busy. Ruined the appetite even more for something that already didn’t meet expectations.

As part of the Japan Village, Setagaya is beloved. But the ramen quality has slipped and there are better options here.

Fake fake fake!!! Pork that’s steamed and grilled after. Mediocre. Not even a hint of Japanese. Cooks knows anything but Japanese. If you know ramen, this isn’t even close to anything. All ingredients don’t match and shouldn’t be in a ramen.

The broth is heavy, fatty and no flavor. The ChaSiu is good. The table is very sticky, I wiped with baby wipes twice and still sticky. I wonder when was their last time cleaning the table.

This review is from my 9 year old son as I don't eat pork. He said it was amazing. His first time trying fresh ramen. There were some ingredients he wasn't used to, but he raved about the broth and noodles. Wish there was a kids portion of just 1 piece of meat, broth and noodles.

I ordered the black garlic tonkatsu ramen bowl. It was a struggle to eat because it was overly salty. The cha siu was good, it had a nice char to it. Noodles had a decent texture. But broth is a the main component to ramen and sadly it was disappointing especially for the price and portion size.

I recently stumbled upon a ramen place that's both fantastic and easy on the wallet 🍜. The broth is rich and the noodles have the perfect texture, which is truly amazing to taste! Finding a seat during the lunch rush can be a real challenge, it's always packed with people 😮. However, the wait is totally worth it for a bowl of such deliciousness! If you're a ramen lover like me, definitely give this spot a try, you won't regret it 💯.

My husband and I dine in this afternoon. The food was good n the meat was lean n good n tasty.

Then I order n tske out one for my son . It was DX.. 4 pcs of meat.
When we got home, we realized the food was totally different!! The meat were all FAT! The soup was extremely little.

Why it was so inconsistent on the food quality. It was like cheating!!! $18++ unfortunately I have only pictures of dining in. My son throw out the meat before I can take a picture.

I think the women were trained to only give quality n genuine food for dining in. As for take out..... they try to reduce whatever is necessary to cut cost n take customers for granted! Japanese owners n culture are not like that. The owner must be.......?????

Decent Ramen, But Basic Hospitality Lacking

The ramen here is fine, nothing remarkable, more like what you’d expect from a food court. However, what really surprised me was that they don’t offer even tap water. For a ramen restaurant, where a hot, salty dish is the focus, access to water feels like a basic necessity.

When I asked, I was directed to a bathroom fountain outside the restaurant. That’s not an appropriate alternative in a dining setting. Providing drinking water should be a fundamental part of hospitality in any restaurant. I hope they reconsider this policy.

Both my wife and I found the ramen delicious and the prices fair! I had the regular pork ramen and she had the veggie miso. I am not by any stretch an aficionado in Ramen, but even on a hot summer day we both left happy.
