Ok so I didn't like the tonkotsu here (noodles are too thin for my liking), but the miso ramen and pork buns are amazing
Dina RughaniDecember 8, 2014
The modern and the spicy ramen are both delicious
B KJanuary 27, 2010
If you end up with extra broth and are considering an order of extra noodles, try ordering the side of rice with runny egg instead. Our waitress suggested it today and it was excellent!!!
S GFebruary 3, 2017
Lunch set includes salad and and rice bowl!
Kevin PhanAugust 14, 2014
Yummy soups to be had here. Also get the pork buns

the japanese peppers and the pork buns are great starters, followed by the akamaru modern with added pork belly!
Jeff KaoOctober 30, 2014
Come in the middle of the afternoon (after 2) and avoid the lineup!
KathrineDecember 28, 2019
Great ramen, nice atmosphere.
Adrienne SMay 9, 2012
Fab pork buns and yummy ramen. An experience. Even at 3pm we had to wait 45 minutes. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Brian EricksonMarch 9, 2015
This place is very very good but I'm not sure id wait in the line again.
Laura KeeleyAugust 5, 2010
Love from first pork bun bite. Those are to die for, followed by heavenly ramen. My friend is currently scraping my bowl, it's that good.

Take Karaka-men if you like it spicy
Danielle FitzPatrickMarch 14, 2016
The ramen here is great, get a frozen beer also!
Gabriella KilleenFebruary 19, 2019
Delicious ramen ! The broth was magical.
harryhJune 16, 2018
Alice's favorite Ramen joint. Admittedly, more of a winter time thing.
Lina YehJuly 21, 2017
Went on a Wednesday night and only had to wait 30 minutes! Pork belly buns are good but not amazing.
Ting SOctober 29, 2015
Ramen, shoyu ramen, tonkotsu ramen. ❤️
Drew 5August 12, 2016
obviously if you don't get the pork buns, you're missing out
Karolin BierbrauerApril 28, 2017
Very trendy and good ramen soups
Juliana SennaApril 11, 2017

Best vegetarian ramen in NY. Thick and salty and wasabi spicy.
Will SchollMarch 8, 2016
Delicious ramen, but the long wait and the cheesy vibe means I probably won't ever come back.
Mike MFebruary 4, 2016
The ramen and pork buns are great
Amy LeiSeptember 27, 2012
You can save by ordering one ramen and then adding additional noodles once you finish.
Go VietnamvisaNovember 29, 2014
I like food here. It is great; hence it is always crowded.
Keegan Vance ForteMarch 25, 2011
They'll tell you around dinner time that it's over an hour wait but if you're patient you'll be seated within the half hour. So many people ahead of you will get impatient and leave. Bumping u up!

Come in day of to make a same day reservation. Use the time you saved to go around to Otafune for takoyaki as an appetizer.
Crystal SilvaSeptember 9, 2013
They DO NOT take reservations anytime. Be prepared to wait, but well worth it.
Diana MNovember 8, 2010
Yes, the pork buns and ramen are tasty -- but do NOT miss the cheesesteak spring rolls. INSANE! You will never forget them.
Mike ChauMay 12, 2013
Try the Chicken Hirata Buns - Amazing. Even better than the pork buns.
Kat RoJanuary 3, 2020
Not sure why this place has 9.1. Im a ramen-lover and this place is far down on my list. Even my japanese friend seeing the pic of the bowl wasn’t enthusiastic. Spend your 20$ somewhere else 🥴

For best ramen in NYC go to Ippudo and get the akamaru (prepared kata-men) and also get the Hirata Pork Buns!
Vivian ChengJanuary 21, 2014
The wait is normally long if you have more than 1 person (it could be a 2 to 3-hr wait). But I went there alone last time, and I was seated immediately.
MatherJune 9, 2012
Best playlist ever ... Get ready to re-live some 90's R&B !!!
Laura Del WarbieJuly 30, 2017
Love the food and prefer this location to west side one.
KristineSeptember 9, 2011

Strict as anything on their "if you're not all here now you can't sit" policy. + If you add a person after you've been seated they might not be allowed to order. PORK BUNS.
Mikko RAugust 1, 2015
Great ramen, very good atmosphere.
Richard ChenJune 30, 2011
I get the noodles done "katame" or hard al dente. And then order up a second noodle serving ("kaedama") while working on the chilled beer mug.
Joe TDecember 9, 2016
Pork buns are to die for, your fight for them, lol
zisis petrouJanuary 10, 2018
The pork buns are out of this world!
Marija StankovaApril 20, 2016
Try the pork buns, they are super tasty.
Jack OsborneDecember 17, 2013
Patiently waiting on your meal? Pass the time by poking the squidgy wall.
Penn AppetitMay 30, 2012
Silky noodles, pungent broth. The wait can be long, but it's almost always worth it.

Valerie P.October 28, 2011
