Overall: Would recommend, Would revisit. 9/10 1. Very nice appetizers with fairly priced ramen for the portion. 2. The staff was hospitable the environment was enjoyable.
First of all, the environment was very clean, atmosphere was very nice, quiet but you can still talk, the staff was very hospitable and welcoming.
Second, appetizers was great, the karaage was insanely juicy and tender, prob one of the best karaage i’ve ever had, would recommend, the chicken skin was crispy and flavorful also very nice, the takoyaki was a bit too sourly on first bite due to the amount of sauce on it but besides that it was a pleasing osaka style takoyaki.
Third, the jiro style ramen was nice, me and my friend had the tonkatsu chashu ramen, very flavorful especially with the chilli, can taste a bit salty after some bites but overall was a pleasing ramen, also the portion was HUGE you thought you’re almost finished but there’re still plenty inside the sound, the tonkatsu chashu tsukemen was also decent but it was even more salty than the ramen, so I’ll personally only get the ramen next time.
Absolutely delicious and homestyle authentic hearty quality flavors, and texture. Ordered the recommended tsukemen dipping noodles, and takoyaki. The flavors were popping, savoury garlic and chewy bouncy noodles, and the homemade chilli sauce was a nice touch. Takoyaki was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, perfectly as it should be. And to top it all off, atmosphere was a vibe too.
lowkey a bit hands off type of service but i don’t mind coz it’s like got the food and order and drinks prolly js a tiring day food was like alright but good big portion and awesome egg but i mean its not bad it’s just not drinkable noodle which is what im into usually but i finished it all so yay and also awesome egg

The best ramen you will ever have. It doesn't get better than this, trust me!
I was so overwhelmed by how ridiculously good this ramen was… I completely forgot to take a photo. I’m sorry. But this is—without a doubt—the BEST tonkotsu ramen I’ve had in Manhattan.
I hesitated a bit when I saw the $23 price tag (I’ve been eating out less lately), but once the bowl arrived, the portion alone made it feel totally fair. And the flavor? Honestly, I would’ve paid more if my wallet allowed it.
The toppings? Insane. A mountain of bean sprouts, generous slices of chashu, and tender spinach all piled high like a fever dream. And just when I thought I was done, the noodles revealed themselves from the bottom like some kind of chewy, magical surprise.
The bean sprouts seem endless. The noodles just keep going. But the real knockout is that broth—deep, garlicky, rich pork flavor that ties everything together like a perfect storm of umami. I literally gasped at one point.
I save the marinated egg for last, like dessert. Dipping it in the broth and taking that final bite? Pure bliss. My stomach said “enough,” but my soul said, “just one more bite…”
I now understand why I can’t lose weight. But I have no regrets.
I’m coming back. Please never compromise on flavor, no matter how popular you get. We need restaurants like this—delicious, kind, and authentic.

Pretty good ramen, but it was a bit too fatty for our liking. Unfortunately, my partner found a few strands of hair in his bowl and he had already eaten half before noticing, so we didn’t say anything. A bit of a letdown, sadly. Probably won’t return, but it does seem to attract a lot of Japanese diners, so I’d guess it’s quite authentic (?)

I got off the train and came straight here for lunch. I knew I wanted to give this place a try. Really amazing tsukemen, or dipping noodle. The noodles are perfectly chewy and the chasu was so fatty and tender. The tsukemen broth is a bit more vinegar forward but it had a lot of flavor and was so thick. I loved it! And the service was fantastic and so friendly. Would definitely come back.

Everything in here was amazing. The broth was very rich and the meat was delicious. The karaage was cripsy and fresh. The service was also great. Just be ready because it is a lot of food. Ramen was huge!!

This is some of the best ramen I’ve had! I had the tonkotsu chashu tsukemen (dipping noodles with pork broth) and the broth was so flavorful. The portions are huge so, unfortunately, there was no way I could finish it. The service was great and our server took time to explain how to eat the dipping noodles. It is a small place with only a handful of tables and counter seats. I will definitely be back next time I am in New York!
