Katie ChildsSeptember 24, 2014Can't go wrong here. Beer selection is fantastic & every ramen blows my mind.
rich masioSeptember 24, 2015Yesterday had the wings which were some of the best I've had but the chicken broth ramen and its noodles were barely mediocre. The broth was weak and tasted slightly fishy, limp and bland noodles.
Andrew FurmanApril 29, 2015Get the short rib buns to start. They're unique and almost taste like brisket.
Go for the Miso Tonkotsu Paitan Ramen. It was an off menu item, so if you see it dive in!
- Boon KohSeptember 14, 2015Decent ramen. Could be the best in the area, due to lack of competition. Prices look a bit high - $15 per bowl.
Drew NOctober 21, 2014Ramen is v v good. Bonus points for Migos & Waka Flocka on the speakers...turnip 4 what
Gabriela BMay 22, 2013Spicy miso was great. Ask for a sake recommendation; they really know their stuff!
Patrick MacKelvieFebruary 14, 2014Amazing selection of Japanese craft brews - some not seen outside of Japan.
Soundtrack is on par with, if not better than the ramen here. Excellent on both counts.
Jenny KMarch 21, 2016No line and quick service on a Friday night. Best bet for nice sit down near BAM?
Greg AndersonSeptember 24, 2013Get the stamina ramen and the short ribs buns and enjoy the sweet sweet food coma that ensues
Sarah TierneyNovember 23, 2014Vegetable ramen is pretty tasty, as are the gyoza, wings, and oysters.
jkhknycSeptember 5, 2016Good favor. Cute and chic. But not as authentic as expected. The gyoza was dry and undercooked. Disappointed. :( #jkhknyc #goodeats #nyc #brooklyn #genso #ramen #foodteek
- Chrissy KFebruary 28, 2016Try to go during their weekday happy hour. You'll feel a little bit better about the prices.
helen jackersOctober 12, 2012The Gonsa ramen was simply delicious! Definitely want to check out the others as well.
michael nerenburgJanuary 24, 2015Average at best. Tried gyoza, pork buns, miso soup. Everything was ok but the pork buns were especially bland. Any other ramen place I've been to in the city has been pork buns.
Kendra BorowskiJune 19, 2015Wanted to like this place so much. Good food, clueless staff dropping f bombs at the pass, two feet from customers.
Tim FogartyFebruary 18, 2013While best known for its ramen, Ganso's off-menu vegetarian chili is _to die for._
- Dont believe what the bible says about pork it taste awesome
Best ramen in Brooklyn, and gyoza are pretty dope too.
Connie XiaoApril 27, 2017Good ramen, I was pleasantly surprised. Didn't care much for the service though.
Vivek BhagwatSeptember 21, 2012Kari Kari buns were really good as was the short rib ramen. They rushed us too much though, even though it was half empty.- Burrito BoomerJanuary 3, 2016Just a heads up. There is only 1 vegetarian based ramen on the menu made with mushrooms.
Manoj KintaliMarch 21, 2017Meh.. the edamame is good. The Gyoza is ok.. I got the spicy miso and it's too salty and I've had way better. Also tried the veggie ramen and it's super bland. Had better
