    Since the welcoming reaction when you come in and the food (ramen and pork buns) out of this world. Come by without hungry, you'll have to wait at least 2 hours.

    Pork buns, oxtails and classic ramen were delicious worth the wait but beware you won't want to stop eating

    You want the Akamaru Modern. I'll sit back and wait for you and your stomach to thank me for my advice.

    Be prepared to wait as they don’t take reservations. Start with the pork buns and the peppers. Then try the Akamaru Modern with a bottle of Yebisu. Your mind will be blown.

    Their pork buns & the Akamaru Modern ramen are best two things you will ever eat. Ever. But only order what you can eat as you can't bring home leftovers.

    Arrive early if you don't want to wait for a long time for a table. As for the food, I ordered the Akamaru modern ramen and it was delicious!

    great ramen but always long waits. definitely a better atmosphere than other local ramen shops, if you're into that kind of thing.

    The best ramen I've ever had in NYC. Great atmosphere for a group; sit at the bar if you can. Definitely get the pork/chicken buns too.

    The best ramen you will have in your entire life, bar none. Fans of spice should get the karaka men.

    Best ramen in NYC. Try one of their bowls with the spicy red paste. The pork buns are also amazing as an appetizer.

    Put your name down 1-2 hours before you want to eat, it gets super busy. All of the ramen dishes are tasty. Make sure you order pork buns as an appetiser!

    Some of the best ramen on the East Coast. Definitely a good bet for a tasty, warm lunch. Also try the pork buns!

    The thing to order is still the Shiromaru Hakata Classic (the house pork-bone broth style) or the Akamaru Modern (essentially a high-octane Shiromaru).

    Ordered what the people recommend. Pork buns and Akamaru modern Ramen with the soft boiled egg. It was excellent. 1.5 hour wait on a Wednesday evening.

    This place has the best ramen around in the city, but with quality brings a lot of folks. Come prepared to wait in line, but the food is worth the wait! Order the pork bone ramen with the fried chicke

    Must try their tori-karaage, eggplant buns, and any ramen with nitamago and bakudan

    Over-hyped a lot. Crazy wait times but food is mediocre. Least impressive Chashu Buns I ever tried. Ordered Akmaru Modern - broth was OK but not outstanding. Chashu and noodles were meh.

    The prices are kind of outrageous for ramen, they encourage you to order extra toppings and they add up. But damn if it wasn't worth it. The Karaka Men was the best bowl of ramen I've had in years.

    Omfg...the pork buns!!! They are not at all like the Chinese pork buns. It's almost like a mini soft doughy taco/burrito shell with chunks of succulent pork! The order comes with 2 of them.

    wish so much that I saved room to kae-dama my akamaru modern, but the pork buns are worth it. also really sorry for splashing all over the guy next to me.

    You have to wait for a table, but then: hot ramen, porky and rich, with dumplings on the side, cold beer. One of the city’s best meals.

    Pork buns are amazing, do are the aubergine buns. Haven't had better ramen. Thinking of that broth makes my mouth water again.

    The Karaka Spicy New York is in the top ten vegetarian dishes I've ever had. It's a sesame based broth. I'm a meat eater.

    Probably some of the most delicious Pork Buns. Also, the cucumber appetizer is a must. My go-to place for ramen.

    The lunch special is amazing. Huge amounts of food for a great value. Always always get the Akamaru modern. Or the wasabi salad (not too spicy) and pork buns.

    Akamaru Modern with Nitamago. Waiting for large groups is always about an hour. I don't like waiting but this place is worth it.

    Try the Akamaru Modern Ramen With Kakuni - Holy amazeballs. I'm in heaven. The noodles, the broth, the pork belly... I'm full, but I can't stop eating.

    Nice selection of Japanese beer on tap, the Ramen of course can't be beat, and buns are fresh and simple. Expect a 20-30 min wait between 5-10pm

    Consider adding a tamago (seasoned soft-boiled egg) so your ramen can stare back at you.

    Pork buns are amazing and the ramen is good too. Make sure you don't come hungry because it can take up to an hour to seat 4 people.
