“Had lunch here yesterday and loved it so much I came back today. As a truck driver we are limited to food options on the road for obvious reasons but I’ve been parked in the area and had the opportunity to venture for food. They do not speak English here but the ordering screen makes it a bit easier to see what you like and order directly on the screen.“

“Sashimi新鮮,龍蝦🦞5食好味,服務非常好!👍🏻“
“Overall a nearly excellent burger in the Shake Shack style can be had here! There's about 20 different styles of burgers with creative combinations. We had the O'dada and double whammy burgers. Both were overall very good with fresh, high quality ingredients and an excellent brioche style roll. The main problem we had was the burgers were a bit too greasy and excessively juicy which kept us from giving a 5 star rating.. It was difficult eating these burgers without making a mess and the fatty juices were flowing out like a fountain. Despite this these are still probably the best burgers in Queens due to high quality ingredients and being very tasty. The service was quick and friendly! Recommended if you're in the area and you're craving a Shake Shack style burger.“

“Wow! I woke up early and felt like trying something different. Ordered this spicy squid tteokbokki and it was amazing. Spicy 5/10 and nutty flavor. The squid was very fresh.
First time here, I’ll definitely be back with the family.“

“The food is genuinely good! Try their new lunch bento box, it’s only $14 and salmon one is $16 so pretty nice price in town🫶 I recommend the chicken bento, you can get rice onigiri 🍙 , chicken, soba salad and miso soup coming together!! Their matcha tiramisu and matcha ne drink is so delicious as well, must-try, not too sweet, but fresh grassy feeling!“

“We had a wonderful athlete team party yesterday at Kiko Ramen in Manhasset.
John and his staff were incredibly accommodating and helpful throughout the event. They provided us with a private area for the team, while the parent guests were comfortably seated in another section.
They even created a special group menu that included appetizers, entrées, and drinks. It was an excellent experience overall. For anyone planning a gathering in the neighborhood, Kiko Ramen is definitely the place to go!“

“Kudu Ramen in the UES is a cozy restaurant when you’re craving a delicious bowl of ramen. I consider myself a ramen connoisseur and I can confirm that you will fully enjoy your meal. My mom accompanied me and she ordered the Sukiyaki Beef Don which was equally delicious. I ordered the Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen and we both had the Shrimp tempura. I’ve never had shrimp tempura the way they presented it. All
I have to say is, make this a must go to spot.“

“I have tried the other branch in LA and I like the NJ one better. The line here is much shorter and the food comes out really fast. The noodles are firm and chewy and the broth is rich and flavorful. The tsukemen was delicious and the chashu was tender with a nice smoky taste.“

“I had the Tonkotsu ramen w/ honey glazed ribs, the Okonomiyaki, and the takoyaki for take out. The pork broth was super flavorful and not salty at all. I thoroughly enjoyed the ribs as they were very tender and slid off the bone! They also had a kick to them that paired well with the creaminess of the soup. Though I think the okonomiyaki was my favorite dish so far! Definitely will come back to try the rest of the menu~“

“Some of the best ramen I have had in the neighborhood.
We tried the kimchi (10/10) and the tots. My only complaint about the tots was that they needed more sauce, we asked for a side of Mayo and added their house made hot sauce and it was incredible!
Curry ramen and tan tan ramen were incredible. Left full and very satisfied with our meal.“

“Very good experience. Subtle flavors, yet rich. Only had the classic ramen. Very, very good.
The menu is on a small side, which is good.
I definitely recommend going there. I’m going back soon to taste the other flavors.“

“Visited here on several occasion. Minimalist decor, dimly lit providing a cozy and intimate ambiance , cute for a date night without feeling over the top. We've had Dawa as our waitress couple times and she is very attentive and personable. Gave us great tips on what to order
The spicy yuzu margarita is my go to drink .Well balanced, strong, not too spicy which i liked. For food, I have really enjoyed their eel roll and salmon teriyaki. Recently tried their Omakase and it was very tasty . The sushi was so fresh, the salmon sashimi was melts in your mouth. The dragon roll was also a great addition. The portion was plentiful, felt very full by the last bite. Overall, really impressed by the quality of their sushi. I look forward to sampling the ramen on the menu since so many people have raved about it.“

“It was a wonderful experience , considering it is my first time. We had to wait a few minutes to get our table for 4 but that’s okay! The employees were super nice and went out of their way to pull and extra table for us. I loved the authentic atmosphere. The lighting, decor, and the overall feeling of the restaurant was great! And amazing food. My family loved what we ordered and the matcha cheesecake for dessert was so good! Compliments to the chef! I could definitely see myself coming back here again, whether alone or with family or friends. Well done, Nippon Cha!“

“Went to TORA NYC recently and decided to order takeout, but even from that short experience the hospitality stood out. While we were waiting, they offered us water and were really welcoming, which already left a good impression. The space itself looks beautiful modern, intimate, and definitely feels like the kind of place that would make a really nice date spot.
We ordered three dishes: the Yokan Roll, Negichutoro Don, and Gyudon.
The Yokan Roll was a really nice example of how modern sushi rolls balance texture and richness. Inside was spicy salmon and cucumber, and it was topped with lightly seared salmon, mentaiko sauce, tempura flakes, and tobiko. The seared salmon added a gentle smokiness while still keeping that soft buttery texture salmon naturally has. The mentaiko sauce, made from seasoned pollock roe that’s widely used in Japanese cuisine, brought a creamy, briny umami flavor that paired really well with the fish. Tobiko added those signature little bursts of saltiness, and the tempura flakes gave a light crunch that balanced the richness of the sauce and salmon. It was a well constructed roll where each topping actually had a purpose.
We also got the Negichutoro Don, which had minced medium fatty bluefin tuna over rice. In sushi terminology, tuna is categorized by fat content akami being lean, chutoro the medium fatty section, and otoro the richest cut from the belly. Chutoro tends to be the sweet spot because it has enough fat to be buttery while still keeping that clean ocean flavor. The texture here was incredibly soft and almost melt-in-your-mouth. Negitoro as a dish traditionally mixes minced tuna with scallions, since the word “negi” literally means scallion. The tuna quality here was great and the texture was amazing, but I do think it could be elevated slightly. If the scallions were minced and mixed into the toro instead of sitting on top it would distribute the flavor more evenly. A little shredded nori could add some aroma from the sea, and honestly avocado would pair really nicely with the richness of the tuna.
The Gyudon was probably the most comforting dish we ordered. Gyudon has a long history in Japan and became popular in the late 19th century as a quick, affordable rice bowl. Thinly sliced beef is simmered in a sweet savory broth that’s very similar to sukiyaki sauce, usually made with soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and sometimes dashi. The beef absorbs that slightly sweet umami flavor as it cooks. Here it was served over rice with scallions, sesame seeds, and an onsen egg. Once everything was mixed together, the egg yolk coated the rice and beef and brought everything together. The sauce, beef, and egg created that rich silky texture that makes gyudon such a comforting dish.
Even though we only ordered takeout, that level of service was noticeable.
Overall the food was really good and thoughtfully prepared. The fish quality was great, the bowls were comforting, and the hospitality stood out even in a quick takeout experience. The restaurant itself looks like a really nice place to sit down and enjoy a meal, so we’ll definitely be coming back to dine in next time.“

“The food was fantastic! However, there’s a problem when dining with a large group. You can’t be seated until you’ve finished all your orders on the iPad. This works well for two or three people, but for a group of seven, it’s simply impractical, especially during busy times.“

“I’ve had been to different locations of this restaurant and all of them do not disappoint. I think that this location has a very nice atmosphere because of the cubicles as well as the larger seating areas. The food is always good and the portions are reasonable for the price you pay. There is always a combo meal that gives you a ramen aside and a drink for a cheaper price so I think that is always good as well as they do have seasonal desserts.“

“I'll try to keep this to the point —
I gave Food/Service/Atmosphere 5 🌟 because they were on par for me. For a local spot, this really took me by surprise.
What I ordered:
Miso Soup:
Standard Miso Soup, nothing groundbreaking, but very tasty. Would have loved a tad more tofu & scallion, but that's just me.
Salmon Avocado Hand roll:
Not the hand roll I expected meaning it wasn't in the cone shape I'm familiar with, but it came presented like a taco with the seaweed as the shell. Salmon cuts were huge, and with great colour, avocado was bright & ripe, coupled with the perfect amount of rice. Everything tasted clean, and fresh.
Yellowtail Jalapeno Nigiri:
I messed up with this, originally I wanted a sushi roll, but my brain flubbed. Great mistake though, because the yellowtail was delicious, practically melted in my mouth, topped with a delicate cut of jalapeno on top.
Love Milk Tea:
Honestly, just a really delicious milk tea topped with osmanthus flower. It was light, refreshing, and not too sweet thankfully.
Wagyu Tataki:
Tataki is meant to be briefly seared on the outside, but the center remains raw. Was this seared to the degree I wanted? No. But, was it delicious? Yes. And the meat was incredibly tender, flavour of the sauces really complimented everything on the plate.
I finished off with a matcha cheesecake to go, I'm sure it'll be good.
With tip, I spent $67
Again, for a local spot in Richmond Hill/Kew Gardens, I was thoroughly impressed and satisfied. Personally, with slight adjustments, these folks would do great in midtown. I spent a little under what I would spend at a restaurant in the city, and got an incredibly satisfying meal, and left full.“

“I, and two friends, first came opening day. Back then we lived on 49th St., so we were very excited for local ramen.
Cut to today and they are still a local favorite. The broths are delicious and the proteins are well prepared. The superstar is their pork bun - one of the best in the city (personal bias noted). Their noodles also have the perfect cook. Sake and beer selection is solid.
If you're in Sunnyside, stop by and have a great meal.“

“No frills type of space. Kind and welcoming staff with fast service. Looks like they do a lot of sushi delivery but I went for ramen. Got the black garlic tonkotsu which was fantastic. The largest portion I've had in NYC so far and at an extremely reasonable price. I wish I had room to finish the entire bowl. Will definitely be visiting again :)“

“We came by (and had always wanted to since before they opened) for our wedding anniversary. We were a party of four (my husband, our son, daughter, and I), we were promptly seated in the back (they asked where we wanted to sit). Our waiter was very courteous and friendly. Our son ordered pork buns and scallion pancakes; they were very filling for him, and he enjoyed them very much. Our daughter got a bowl of chicken shoyu ramen, unfortunately it was too much for her - she enjoyed her noodle soup very much. Husband ordered pork gyoza and chicken yaki ramen, he was very delighted and it tasted great. I went with tonkotsu ramen. All the dishes were well portioned (for their price). Very clean establishment. Also liked the idea that thier sink is outside of the restroom, it is quite brilliant! We also liked thier curtain that were separating the dining area to the restroom. They were rabbit themed, including a mochi making rabbit in the moon. We anticipate our return!“

“The food was really delicious, they do use chicken broth for all their ramen though. We got the gyozas, chicken kuro, and the noodle dish with no broth. The gyozas were nice and crispy, the chicken kuro was a solid classic, and the noodle dish was no broth was something I haven't tried before, all super awesome.“

“Great ramen spot in the Forest Hills neighborhood. The flavors feel like an authentic taste of Japanese cuisine. The ramen broths I tried (Shoyu & Tantan) were rich & comforting, and everything we ordered was delicious. Definitely a place worth visiting if you’re in the area and craving good japanese food.“

“Very tasty ramen is the headliner at this new authentic and cozy bistro. Loads of typical appetizers, donburi and other Japanese specialties complete the menu, asking with a nice drink menu. We had the crispy gyoza, then sequed to the pork bone broth and chicken paitan taken. Both very well prepared and delicious. I'm happy we found Hanami, close to home and we're delighted to add them to our neighborhood choices!“
