Food was delicious! Everything we ordered was amazing! We were nine people and they were able to accommodate us even though this is a small restaurant. We will definitely come back!

Tasty ramen, attentive servers. A little bit of a squeeze but worthwhile for a spicy bowl!

Average ramen, heavy broth, I got the tonkotsu ramen (switched to wavy noodles) with spicy level 3, a bit too spicy for me so 2 might be better, you can add a soft boil egg since it doesn't come with one. I thought the soup was a bit too think so had to add some water. My friend really liked it though,We also got the appetizer sampler, good for sharing and if you want to try out different items. The takoyaki was a bit disappointing, fried dumpling was ok, I was too full to try the karaage, heard it was just ok from my friend too.Staff was friendly, space is quite small, we didn’t have to wait on a rainy weekday night (past 9pm). It's a place I'd try out once but probably wouldn't be back again.

Just got back from Tokyo and already missed the Ramen. Karakatta did an amazing job to fill the Ramen void in my life. I tend the keep the ? on the lighter side these days. Level 2 was just enough. Fantastico broth. Service was amazing, even as they were closing.I'll BE BACK ! ?

The restaurant is one of those places that if you walk by and pass by, you will want to enter. The atmosphere is very enveloping and the lights are dim and since it is a small space, it makes it cozy.The food was delicious, we ordered takoyaki and tonkotsu ramen. They were exquisite and the portions were big, we ordered one plate of each (there were two of us) and it was more than enough.Although for me, the ramen had a lot of scallion and was somewhat saturated, but for everything else it was very delicious. To drink, we ordered Ramune (a very smooth and delicious Japanese soda) and we also ordered a Japanese cocktail that I don't remember the name of but it had something similar to jelly, it was very sweet and mild but we enjoyed it quite a bit.The girl from the staff who served us was very friendly, she gave us very good suggestions regarding food and drinks and was attentive to everything.Something important, we went with our cat and she was allowed as long as she was obedient (we had her inside the briefcase), there was no problem for our baby.So if you want a cozy experience and to enjoy japanese food, this is the place.

Thick, flavorful ramen that warm up your mind, heart and soul. Rejuvenates a draining study session at Bobst. The vegan option is the curry one which I like the cool sliced cucumber into spaghetti form. The dim, red lighting makes this space feel like a hidden gem and it's so close to WSP literally can come here if you're at WSP. Due to the lighting, any angle of photos looks expensive and club-like! Great service too!

Cozy restaurant but big portion. Pork belly bum is a must try one. The meat is a lot bigger than all other restaurants and the way they marinate the pork is super unique.spicy ginger ramen is my favorite.
