Good vegan options!

My absolute favorite ramen spot in the city. Great service as well. Crowded, but this spot is a gem. The pork buns are incredible, but the star is the ramen. I typically go spicy tonkotsu but you can’t go wrong here.

Our Friday Night Spot 🍜❤️
Since discovering this place, my wife and I haven’t missed a single Friday. Out of all the ramen we’ve had in NYC—and even Japan—this one’s our champion.
The stamina ramen is my go-to comfort food now. It brings back the cozy, homemade feeling of something my grandma would’ve made—hearty, rich, and full of soul.
The staff are always warm and welcoming, making us feel like true regulars. It’s more than dinner—it’s our weekly ritual.

Hands down my favorite ramen spot in the city! The spicy ginger stamina ramen is absolutely to die for—rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Cozy vibes, warm atmosphere, and some of the best service you’ll ever find. A true gem.

Incredibly mid, ramen tasted closer to box ramen than restaurant quality

Small and cozy restaurant with amazing food.
I ordered a summer lemon ramen which was beyond expectations.

Must try, best spicy Ramen ever

Pretty good vegan curry ramen, but it didn’t quite live up to the hype. The vegan ramen has a little too much vegetable and not quite enough noodle or tofu (my bowl had three small cubes of tofu). The broth is rich, but not quite enough salt or umami. But that’s just in comparison with NYC’s best vegan ramens—in any other town, I would be ecstatic to have this vegan ramen option.

I don’t know how to say it. This is hands down the BEST ramen EVER!! We got the Vegan Spicy Curry level 5 spicy. We added fried garlic, 2x Bamboo Shoots, and fried chicken curry .

Veryyyyy yummyyyy!!!!!!!! All the ramen was delicious and the appetizers were really delicious!!! The ramen broth was very light and not salty and the meat inside was soft and light. Above all, the atmosphere and the kindness of the staff were all the best.

I had food poisoning from the Tontonksu and vegan curry ramen :(

I love Taka’s shoyu ramen—flavorful with a great noodle texture, which is my favorite part. It’s a bit salty for my taste, but still very enjoyable.
The takoyaki is a unique twist—served with cheese and spicy mayo on top. I love it!
