It's probably the best ramen place on Long Island right now. Wonderfully designed open kitchen with comfortable seatings.Staff is very attention to detail kind. I felt a bit cold before ordering food, and I caught with the corner of my eye how the member of staff noticed it and turned off the AC without me saying a word about it. That's what I call "I care about my customers" worker.The food is delicious. Besides the fancy appetizers and ramen bouls, I definitely recommend trying their Yuzu spice - wonderful refreshing drink with smoking rosemary.I am personally not about this one, but they have a great selection of vegan options, which my friend was happy about.Recommending the place to all of my friends and definitely coming back

Excellent food. The homemade tofu tasted fresh and was flavorful. Better than any I've ever had. I ordered a Yozu spice mocktail made with matcha. The matcha was subtle but noticable and balanced the sweetness of the Yozu. I added the hardboiled egg to the Aka Tonkotsu and requested some of their hot sauce and it will as excellent. The eggs are marinated for 24 hours and very tasty and the homemade hot sauce is spicy and excellent. (I ordered some to go.)

The best ramen I’ve ever had. Period. I love the chicken ramen with a soy egg and the spicy oil on the side! It’s the best comfort food. If you ever want takeout, they do such a great job packaging the broth and noodles separately so you can combine at home and not have soggy noodles or no broth. It’s amazing.

Just tried the wagyu ramen. So good, especially with the chili oil, which compliments the ramen broth in a really unique way. Reminded me of the complex flavor profiles of Michelin star restaurants.Edit 1 / 13 /23: same great food except now they have dessert for the owner, when was desert added? It is very good!Edit 3/22/23: still great.

Get Matt's Vegan Ramen! It's the best ramen I've ever had. Super flavorful. And you can get the chili oil for an extra kick ($1.50). Other stuff I have tried from this place are the vegan starters which are good. My favorite is the fried eggplant hot starter.Even our non vegan friend who got the beef ramen agreed that the vegan ramen was the best ramen there and the beef one was not that good. He ended up ordering the vegan one as well! Been there a couple times already, it's one of my favorites. Location is also very close to campus which is a plus.Moreover the service is exceptional. The waiting staff is so amazing at serving us, probably the best service I have experienced firsthand. They go above and beyond by making sure our glasses are always filled with water, we have extra napkins and utensils, and that we are truly having the best dining experience. This is my go to place for ramen and I come here quite often!My main gripe with this place is that they do not have vegan dessert options otherwise I would definitely like to try something from their dessert menu if they had something for us!
Vegetarian options: Vegan and vegetarian options available.

What I know about Ramen is simple:Broth, noodles, quality.This place excels at all 3. We enjoyed the beef and spicy pork ramens immensely, but the star? The Cauliflower app.The Vietnamese place associated with them next door is also amazing. But we're back tomorrow for more Ramen. Awesome place.

A few college friends took me here and I'm not disappointed at all. The place is on the smaller end, I could imagine that it gets pretty full on the weekend so watch out for that. The decor is modern and fresh, with a cozy feeling.~Underrated compliment~ The water here tasted great, and service was quick to replace the glass bottles on our table when we were done with them.I ordered the cauliflower appetizer, it was very flavorful and hot. The sauce was super tasty.As for ramen, I ordered the only vegetarian ramen dish on the menu, along with an egg inside. Fortunately it was delicious! The broth was on the creamy side, having a light cheesy flavor. I really haven't tasted anything like it. I love this place, and will be returning! (Maybe not too soon however, this place is on the pricier end!)

eShin Noodle Bar is my favorite restaurant around the Stony Brook area. I don’t even know how to describe how much I truly love coming here. I come here whenever I’ve had a bad day or a good day; eShin always makes it better. I first visited eShin in October 2021, and I have been there at least 8 times since (even on my birthday!).What I like about the ramen is that it is incredibly rich. The broth tastes much more like a homemade, rich, warm soup than a typical ramen broth. The noodles have the perfect amount of chewiness to them. I’m a HUGE fan of the soft boiled eggs and chili oil (You can see this in the egg increase). Truly melt-in-your-mouth goodness.The Tori Dashi ramen is my top choice all the time. It’s all I get. The chicken is incredibly tender and the noodles are perfectly chewy. I really enjoy the various greens in the ramen and I really enjoy the addition of the jalapeños (I’ve never liked jalapeños before trying the ramen here) and the cucumbers (Lightly pickled/marinated. You wouldn’t think they add anything to the ramen, but it’s one of the best parts of the dish). Everything adds immensely to the flavor profile and I can’t imagine any one component missing from this dish. It’s truly perfect. As a self-proclaimed ramen expert, this is my favorite ramen that I have tried. Ever.The brussels sprouts are a favorite of mine too. Crunchy, tangy, sweet, salty, savory. The plum sauce and edamame pesto work perfectly together. If anyone you know doesn’t like brussels sprouts, I promise this dish will change their mind.The cauliflower was great too! Perfectly fried, great flavor profile.The cucumber lime mocktail wasn’t my favorite, but it was still refreshing. If you’re getting a mocktail, I would go for the passionfruit daikon.No matter how much love I tried to express through my writing, it isn’t accurate enough. I bring all of my friends here. I celebrate and mourn life here. Rain or shine. The staff are ALWAYS wonderful and accommodating and we never wait too long for the food. I’m not sure of the extent of the heartbreak I will feel when I move back home from school and I won’t have easy access to the wonder that is eShin, but I know it will be great.eShin Noodle Bar is one of my favorite places to eat, and I highly recommend it.Pictures are from 10/2/21, 12/10/21, 3/6/22, 5/16/22.
Order Over Here
Probably some of the best ramen in the area. It’s refined and doesn’t rely on excessive salt for flavor. We started with the vegetarian buns which were delicious, the tofu was incredibly tasty and I highly recommend. Will definitely return.
What a gem! We had an incredible dinner here sharing Salmon Nuoc Cham, Toro Buns, Togarashi Nasu and Matt’s vegan Ramen. The restaurant is super cute inside with booths and bar seating! Our hostess Serena was so nice and helpful. Service was very fast! Every dish was well executed with medley of flavors! I had the Yuzu mocktail. Smoked rosemary was so unique. We left so satisfied. Can’t wait to come back and try other apps and ramen.

Amazing ramen , excellent service and great vibe. Love the little bar if you’re eating alone. The waitress was out of her way nice. The quality and flavor of the food was top tier. Highly recommend coming here. Very happy I found this place

Overall such a great experience. The staff was super friendly (and we had a big party of 8) and they took care of us so well. The ramen and all the appetizers we got were all delicious. Unfortunately I don't have pictures of the appetizers because they were so good we devoured them. I got the Mu Ramen with an egg and as the picture shows, it looked and tasted great! There was nothing left after the picture was taken. 5/5 would definitely go again! I suggest trying the pork buns!

We visited this new Ramen restaurant in Long Island and were not disappointed. The Toro Buns are out of this world - fluffy buns topped with delicious Bluefin fatty tuna tartare. I could not stop eating them! Ramen are delicious - you can also add Brisket to your Charshu - which is a great addition! Restaurant is on the smaller side, so you might have to wait a long time for a table. They do accept reservations though! Great Ramen restaurant for Long Island area!

Recommendation: Mu and Aka Tonkotsu Ramen + soft boiled soy sauce marinated eggs (must add), eshin chili oil.A lovely ramen place near Stony Brook. The restaurant located next to he railway station. The kitchen closes at 9 p.m.I ordered mocktail Jinger Yuzu but they ran out of ginger juice, so I switched to Yuzu Spice. Personally I don't like it due to the strong smoking taste and smell from smoking rosemary. I will try Jinger Yuzu next time.For the appetizer we ordered chicken wings and toro buns. The sauce they provide for chicken wings is not my type so I had it plain. For toro buns, probably the waiter did not hear it. When we realized that the kitchen is already closed. Will try next time.For the ramen, surprisingly great! I came here because of the almost 5 star rating on Yelp and it does fail me. Usually ramen will be a bit salty for me but this place is right of the salt level. My friend complained about the too much peppers in the soup but I have no problem with it as a pepper lover LOL I also like the rich flavors added by sliced pickled green peppers. For spice lovers, please try the eshin chili oil.For the dessert, it has red bean paste, matcha pudding, and light cream on the top. The light cream is not sweet so it will taste better if you can mixe them at the very beginning.Overall service is great except that we sit here for some minutes at the very beginning. Two customers came after us and were passed with menu immediately once they get seated. Besides, one appetizer order is missed. Other than these, I have no complaints.
