If you like ramen, you'll LOVE this place. Just get here real early to avoid the lunch rush.
MashkaDecember 10, 2014
Less than 10 minute wait for dinner mid week! Sit at the bar and watch the masters at work.
Amar BDecember 5, 2015
The Ramen is amazing, it rivals anything I have had in Japan.
Sara RoMay 21, 2015
Everything is good but a must combo is the bun with ramen!

If you don't like spicy food, get the Akamaru Modern. It's delicious!
Stacy KimballMay 10, 2014
Pork buns are the obvious move. Akamaru Modern ramen for the win. ✌️
Karen Lao 🔱August 17, 2014
You can always walk around the block while waiting for your table! Plenty to see/do
Jeff KaoOctober 30, 2014
$3 more for a Lunch Special with your Ramen. Comes with a rice bowl and salad!
Naveeshini NairFebruary 2, 2019
Had the chicken bun and it was extremely filling and flavorful!
Chloe NguyenFebruary 13, 2014
Opt for ramen for breakfast instead of lunch or dinner. There's usually no wait on weekday mornings!
T SFebruary 12, 2019
Quite authentic Japanese ramen spot. The Karaka has the perfect spiciness!
Ori BrooksteinOctober 5, 2017
The vegetarian ramen was delicious! Great place, great atmosphere.
Eszter SMarch 11, 2019
Good Ramen. Still, it was very loud and it seems that you should hurry up so other guests could come in. Also you have to pay extra for the egg.

Bartender may try to upsell you on the "frozen beer" -- you don't need such tomfoolery in your life! (plus it tastes like the inside of a freezer-pack-thing)
Daniel MartinAugust 15, 2022
Spicy karaka is good. Akamara was better though.
Eric NingFebruary 12, 2017
Incredible noodles and broth. Try the Akamaru Modern!
TOctober 11, 2018
The pork skewers are really flavorful
Ms HeleneDecember 4, 2012
The 'Modern' was delicious. Funky interiors and quick service. No wonder it's so popular!
TheoryApril 29, 2011
NY. It's worth the wait. Best ramen house in the city. Our must-haves: the Hirata Steamed Buns and Miso Ramen.
MerveSeptember 14, 2016
Chicken bun is to die for!

Beware to wait in a long line though sometimes it's a hit or miss. Try the KARAKA MEN with pork belly if you like spicy, otherwise get the Akamaru Modern.
Sangria WDecember 14, 2012
go early if you don't want to wait! try their pork bun and miso ramen with braised pork!!!!!!!!!! delish!
Benjamin ChristianMay 4, 2014
Akamaru. Solid. Better than any ramen I've eaten in the Bay Area.

Go. Leave ur name/number. Go get a drink. Come back. Eat manhattans best ramen.
Gabo AroraMarch 24, 2023
Fav ramen in NYC
DrewskiMay 15, 2016
Spicy ramen was definitely good, but the pork buns were incredible.
Jacob AronoffApril 1, 2018
The food here is VERY VERY overhyped. There are a dozen better options in the area that are less expensive and taste better. Not to say the ramen here is bad, it’s fine, but it’s not worth a long wait
BrookeAugust 14, 2011
Pork buns. Get kakuni (pork belly) with your ramen. Trust me, it's not too much pork. It's amazing.
tiffany yeeMarch 23, 2011
order the vegetarian ramen, it's not on the menu and it's one of the best vegetarian ramens ever. and add spicy taste on the side!
Nick AndlingerDecember 5, 2015
Consistent on point ramen.
Maxwell ZaleskiMay 21, 2017
Karaka ramen is damn good. Can get xtra ramen for an additional $2
Pearson Lyverse Carolyn StraughanJune 10, 2016
Get the pork buns 100%. Their pork miso ramens are best.
richard kashidaFebruary 5, 2011
They recently changed the thickness of their noodles to a thinner style which mutes up and falls apart after a few minutes of being served. Eat fast or go to kuboya on 5th or mitsuwa in jersey.
Steve CraigApril 13, 2014
Aggressively hip, trendy noodle playground.
B ChuMay 20, 2013
Apparently done different from HK's. #82/$15-20/Mon-Sat 1100-1530, Mon-Thu 1700-2330, Fri-Sat 1700-2430, Sun 1100-2230

Akamaru Modern with Kakuni, Shishito Peppers and Pork Hirata Buns = my Regular which is a MUST!
Lisa RayleSeptember 18, 2015
Akamura ramen is excellent. A bit spicier than I would like though.
Brandon MAugust 13, 2016
Ramen, pork bun appetizer.
Gui SeizFebruary 5, 2013
Pork buns FTW - if you go in big groups (+3) be prepared to wait for hours
Polina WeitzDecember 10, 2016
Awesome yellowtail carpaccio and great sweet pork buns
Ryan PaulJune 3, 2012
If you have lots of broth and want more noodles you can order a kae-dama for $2 and they'll bring you more noodles!

Not a Ramen expert, but this is the best I've ever had

the best ramen joint on the island of Manhattan. my recommendation is the Shiromaru Hakata Classic, spice it up by adding Kakuni.
Brenda CiukSeptember 29, 2016
Pork buns are a must. Ramen also really good!
✨Pun Bandhu ✨August 21, 2010
The other tips don't lie. Amazing pork buns and ramen. Come at lunch (last call 3:30 pm on Sats), I barely waited 2 minutes. Not cheap though, and they make u pay $2 for their special hot sauce.
Mike ChauMay 12, 2013
Try the Bbq Tonkotsu Ramen - Pulled pork and ramen, together at last. This is awesome.
Chad HornerSeptember 30, 2017
during lunch time you can get in without a wait, and service is speedy
Tudor LeuMay 14, 2012
Pork buns and Akamaru Modern - do it! Long lines, be prepared to wait, or make a reservation in person earlier in the day.
Blake SamicAugust 8, 2014
You can't go wrong with pork buns and Akamaru ramen
