- Get the JFC, Tofu Coney Island to start, then hit it with either the triple pork triple garlic mazemen or Tokyo shio ramen.
- Johnny WuMarch 22, 2015Their chef special ribs are worth the $$. Incredibly seasoned with a salt sweet taste. Highly recommend the shio ramen
- Margarita KrupSeptember 21, 2015Love this place! Great ramen, triple pork & triple garlic is my fave. The spicy ramen is also a hit.
- Delicious and slightly different from all the other ramen joints downtown. Highly recommend you try the mazemen.
- Daniel WiegandMay 3, 2018Start with pickels and fungi tempura and finish with The Spicy Red Chili ramen 🍜 - it‘s hot & delicious!
- Matt LaszukJanuary 17, 2016The shoyu ramen and tsukemen were excellent, as were the pickles and daikon. Note that ramen as listed is bare bones and becomes expensive once you include add-ons
- ChristianaNovember 26, 2016Ordered Chicken Paitan and replaced chicken with porkbelly and added bamboo. Very unique taste! I really liked it.
- John FonteinFebruary 13, 2018Wow! Top 3 ramen I've had in NY. Order the chicken paitan and thank me later 🤤🍜💯
- The mazeman is unlike any other ramen, worth trying at least once
- Rebecca ChadwickFebruary 7, 2015They take reservations! The pork ribs are amazing especially to share with a few people. The saki toddy was sweet and warm.
- TomAugust 16, 2014Creative ramen. The chilled lemon shio is really refreshing. Portions are on the small side. Worth a try!
- Shiri LaraJanuary 6, 2016Spicy ramen is great. The chopped egg and pork sort of sit at the bottom but the noodles are tasty and the broth is hot so it's tolerable.
- Devin CatesMay 26, 2021All I remember from the first time is that my bowl was absolutely incredible! The review hype lived up to itself! Back for more today!
- Behrad EatsNovember 22, 2015Before your ramen, you must get the killer L.E.S. Buns: pastrami, karashi mayo, daikon slaw
- Serious EatsMay 27, 2014The lightest ramen is the Shio. Get the four cheese, spicy, or triple pork if you want a heavier meal.
- mariskalehAugust 25, 2023Tried the Paitan 🐓 ramen after glowing reviews. Thought it tasted too "chickeny," like how leftover cold chicken tastes if that makes sense. Also too salty & wrecked my GI tract for a full day.
- RACHELISTAMarch 9, 2016Be a good Jew and try their take on the Latke with ikura. Be a bad Jew and try their pork meatballs! Both are better than the ramen in my opinion.
- I AmosApril 16, 2023I'd be happy to just eat appetizers here, never mind the ramen. They're all so tasty.
- BettyJanuary 24, 2015I didn't find the ramen as inventive as people say. For the small portion & price, I would def go elsewhere like Ramen Lab or Takashi. The maple sweet potato was a surprisingly good mash up though!
- Jae Salinas 🍜December 22, 2014New menu item! Get the Dan Dan noodles. I know you are here for ramen but if someone else at your table gets them and you don't you will regret it.
- David GuerrieriOctober 7, 2016Spicy Ramen is very tasty here. The heat builds to about a 7 out of 10 which is pretty near perfect! Don't forget to slurp!!
- JY GBOctober 1, 2017The ramen was ok, but I'm biased coz we spent our summer holiday in Tokyo. However, for ramen outside Japan it was very tasteful
- Katherine KruegerSeptember 6, 2014The taste of the Triple Pork Garlic Mazemen is indescribably delicious. Most flavorful broth I've ever had. Add an egg for good measure.
- Ioannis IliadisDecember 30, 2017Probably the best ramen you can experience. Consider that the owner has a dedicated episode in Netflix’s #ChefsTable
- Tongue appetizer, shoyu ramen fully loaded, and garlic mazemen. 1000 year old deviled eggs are nice too. Not a huge fan of their other appetizers.
- Lori LuoMay 14, 2015Ivan Orkin's approach to ramen can result in several hit or miss dishes, but the Spicy Red Chile Ramen and the takoyaki-inspired pork meatballs are sure to please.
- Martin PrebioAugust 27, 2018Over-hyped place with average ramen. If this is one of the best in NY then you have to move elsewhere to find a delicious meal.
- Michael GarodOctober 25, 2015The fully loaded spicy ramen is very tasty, but it is certainly hot. Some other tips led me to believe that it's medium heat. No, it's pretty hot. Don't get it unless you can handle it.
- AmateurConciergeJanuary 20, 2015The Coney Island tofu is a mad experiment gone right. Dan Dan noodle addition to the menu a big step up from the old tsukemen offering
- Rachel PortSeptember 26, 2019Not sure about the ramen hype. Got the shoyu and thought it tasted kinda weird. The chicken sandwich was really good, but the crispy eggplant was AMAZING.
- Chloe HJanuary 30, 2016Delicious. Get the daikon, meatballs, and shio. Best service ever. Japanese Manhattan poster in the bathroom, perfect.
- Rory ParnessJuly 26, 2014Pork meatballs are amazing. Save one or two and place gently in the triple pork ramen for a tasty, off menu combo
- Laura LaussadeMay 26, 2019It fulfilled all my ramen dreams. And my recommendation is definitely get the appetizers.
- Chris ChenApril 11, 2015Was better than I thought it would be. Creative appetizers were good - xo daikon, mushroom casino, etc. Triple pork ramen was delicious.
- Gary TorielloJanuary 17, 2015Spicy Red Chili Ramen - dashi + chicken broth, minced pork, smashed egg & rye noodles.
- Craig WAugust 18, 2014This place's options are definitely unique from other ramen spots in the city. I had the cheese ramen and it was tasty.
- R SMay 12, 2014Coney Island and Tokyo ramen ftw. Don't forget to add the egg and sit out back if it's nice out. Also $4 Sapporo.
- Aseem UtrankarDecember 19, 2018Don’t skip the starters. Japanese fried chicken and cauliflower were both excellent.
- Mikahla VicinoSeptember 30, 2017Definitely get the mezomen. It's the perfect serving of the creamiest broth.
- Aileen TseJuly 11, 2015the spicy chili ramen is great. though the broth isn't quite on par with ippudo, the ramen noodles have a stronger bite!
- Shoyu ramen was 👌🏼👌🏼. Place is normally packed but always worth the wait.
- jiresellOctober 10, 2015What a great ramen shop! Wonderful selection! Prepare for a bit of a wait, but it's worth it!
- Ailie ChangOctober 26, 2014The Yuzu Lemonade is refreshing! Get the Kewpie Ebi as an appetizer. I tried the Triple Pork Triple Garlic Mazemen fully loaded. It was alright. The roasted tomato was good.
- Tara DeVincenzoNovember 3, 2015has a quirky style compared to most other revered ramen places, which is cool. go if you wanna sweat; get the spicy ramen.
- Harrison JohnsonJune 2, 2018The spicy ramen is very hot. The shio ramen with tomatoes has a unique and delicious flavor. 🍅
