Underground Ramen

Amazing food. Well balanced flavors.

It was a cute place! When we went it was basically empty so the staff was very quick to seat us and collect our order. At first I thought the food was a little bit pricey for this area, but when it came out I could understand why.

You get a LOT of Ramen for your $15. It tasted pretty good too! (even if the meat was a little well done). I definitely recommend giving it a try, especially considering it's not like there are a lot of ramen places in the area, just be aware that it might be on a bit of the expensive side.

Cool little ramen place with plenty to offer. We ordered the Aloo empanada (crispy, lots of spices), Shrimp Ceviche taco, Pork Bao Buns (our favorite part of the meal, tasty and well- balanced), and the Smoked chicken Ramen (definitely smokey! Good portion size, noodles are good too).It is a bit pricey but the flavors are unique and the staff are courteous and helpful, so we would return to try more menu items.There is a nice sized parking lot out front, too.

We were excited to try this new restaurant, given the catchy name reminiscent of a cool NYC noodle house. Upon arrival to the location the decor and outdoor setup was very inviting. But to our disappointment the ambitious and seemingly creative menu failed in execution. If you know how real ramen tastes like and are expecting food with traditionally bold Asian flavors, this is NOT the place for you. You will be paying for an overpriced bland meal, when the prepackaged $4 Tonkatsu microwaveable soup from Costco tastes more authentic than the ramen here.First of all, the name of the restaurant is Underground Ramen- but the menu only has 2 types of ramen. Taking the name aside, the ramen and izakaya-(Japanese bar food) inspired dishes were mostly bland and lacked robust flavor. We started with the scallion pancake appetizer, which was nothing but a tasteless, dense oily disc of pan fried dough (read: not crispy) of rice flour with meager slivers of scallion that was accompanied by overly sweet hoisin sauce on the side. Considering how cheap scallions and rice flour are, there could have been a little more scallion and salt mixed in to make it more edible. My husband ordered the chicken ramen, which was nothing but watery bland broth with chicken strips and frozen popcorn shrimp. The crispy plantain looked fancy on top, but was a soggy mush within a second of serving and provided no flavor to the dish. I had the drunken noodles, which to my disappointment consisted of mushy overcooked bland sheets of rice noodles that stuck together in one blob, topped with (the same dipping sauce) overly sweet hoisin sauce, with obviously frozen ground turkey mixed in. It tasted like the noodles and turkey were boiled together, placed in a bowl and served that way, drizzled with hoisin sauce. Bland, bland, bland! I don’t think I’ve ever had drunken noodles with ground turkey or hoisin ; the chef should have opted for well seasoned ground chicken and steamed bok choy. Even just sea salt and a drizzle of sesame oil would have tasted better than that awful hoisin sauce. I had one bite of each of our orders and could not be bear to take another. The waitstaff was polite enough, but considering an empty restaurant and only 3 parties at the outdoor dining tables , service was still slow and the waitress even forgot to give us utensils when our food came. At the end of our meal, the waitress came and asked if I wanted the leftover food to go, we had to politely decline.The chef/owner needs to revisit the menu, and perhaps visit a real ramen or izakaya like Ippudo. For more flavorful Asian comfort soups and bites in Rockland, save your money and go to Little Vietnam in Nyack or Cho Cho San in Nanuet.

We ordered takeout and was very good.I’m looking forward to tasting the tacos at the restaurant.

Adding five starts because the person who gave 1 star o me sounds like it was a then problem and they should give the new restaurant time to work everything out.

Anyone know what the hours of this place is? I’ve gone twice and called a few times with no answer

Good food ???

An absolute gem. Very unique flavors which I love! The pork belly bao was a great starter, so was the oxtail spring roll. Both the pork belly ramen and the Smokey jerk chicken ramen were delicious. Oh and it doesn’t end there. Loved both the five spice carrot cake and the mango sticky rice desserts.Thank you for opening this restaurant so close to home. Looking forward to trying everything else on the menu!

Nice quiet hidden gem. Just opened but let's see if they can keep up the great service. Staff is great and the food was excellent.

Ramen and bao buns were good, pork was very tasty in both dishes. Highly recommend

They are off to a good start, but found certain menu items to be hit or miss. The scallion pancakes, and pho que tacos are absolutely fantastic. I wish I could say the same for the Oxtail Spring Roll which was so soggy the entire thing fell apart when I went to pick it up. We also tried the tempura cod taco which has a lot of potential but missed the mark. Fish fried well, but sauce on the bottom with soggy lettuce and clumpy rice on top made it hard to eat and gave a displeasing texture. I am hoping to try them again once they have time to make improvements. On a final note, the pineapple fried rice and wings looked really good.
