If you're coming here from Chef's table and expect to be a great Japanese ramen, don't.
Emily WilsonSeptember 19, 2015
Go for the tonkotsu ramen over the spicy red chili
Hannah StrausOctober 21, 2014
Food comes out really quickly. A bit expensive but delicious.
TingAugust 23, 2014
Larger menu selection but I still prefer the mazeman at the Gotham Market location. Expect to wait about 45 min - 1 hour for seating.
Kyle FowlerMay 19, 2014
Everything is measured perfectly, don't you dare ask for extra broth
Thomas MoAugust 16, 2014
Get the triple pork mazeman ramen fully loaded. Or the spicy ramen also fully loaded.
Paola VenturiniFebruary 13, 2022
Shio and eggplant starter🍆
Annie AlfstadMarch 2, 2015
Good ramen, a little too contemporary for my tastes- still prefer hide chan better but good!
Vishal GuptaMay 16, 2014

Solid shio and a great outdoor space in the back.
Nitzan BMarch 5, 2019
Delicious ramen!
Raj PAugust 27, 2014
Fantastic ramen. Go with the garlic mazeman.
Tani YeeNovember 9, 2015
shio is a nicer, cleaner flavor than the richer shoyu offering
SongNovember 26, 2017
The spicy red ramen is really spicy!
Dina RughaniDecember 8, 2014
Spicy reed chili ramen with the works and the fish donburi
Braden JosephsonAugust 24, 2014
Ramen was amazing as was the cucumber saki cocktail.
Savannah PetrickJuly 22, 2015
spicy ramen but the broth gets nastier than most towards then end
Garett PressAugust 22, 2014
The triple pork/garlic is pretty much worth the hype. Those pork meatballs tho!
Lisa ÖvermyrDecember 23, 2014
Try the Chinese Greens & Garlic appetizer, delicious!
Laura NoonanNovember 11, 2014

Obsessed with he spicy ramen and chicken pitan
Dan TorresJune 12, 2015
They're not playing around with the spicy ramen but it's delicious.
Adam MayNovember 18, 2015
Trendy as hell but they do serve up a good bowl of ramen
Aydin KendirAugust 9, 2016
Staff is friendly. We ordered 3 different ramen from the menu. All were below the expectations. Disappointed. Chicken wings were delicious as starter.
Lawrence L.August 1, 2014
shoyu ramen OK, triple pork, triple garlic mazeman good.
suneelSeptember 14, 2014
red chili ramen, broccoli, cucumber sake cocktail
Raúl JimenezJanuary 5, 2016
Spicy Red Chili Ramen Flavorful, hot, but not overpowering
Matt UffalussyJuly 9, 2014
Triple pork has no broth, but still awesome
Lawrence L.August 9, 2014
Fine tasting ramen, but should an egg cost an additional $2?
Michael MuseAugust 16, 2014
Not a fan of the rye noodles. The broth is very light/delicate, which is intentional, so while not my style - I TOTALLY appreciate the execution
Saif DiaMarch 4, 2017
The chicken paitan is the specialty. The ramen is good here, but not worth a long trip or wait
Nidhi KaySeptember 13, 2019
spicy chili ramen so delicious!!
Jack NobleAugust 24, 2014
Get the shoyu. The cheese mazeman is basically Mac and cheese. Not great if you want ramen.
Bogdan RaduMay 25, 2017
Best Ramen I ever had!!!
Daniel PowellSeptember 1, 2017
Much umami here - fresh, so good
Max MiaJuly 31, 2017
It's way better than the slurp shop.
Kim B.November 22, 2014
Been here 5+ times
Delicious food but atrocious ambience. Unbearably loud and in desperate need of a temporary winter door.
Kimberly GrantSeptember 24, 2014
Triple pork Ramen was good, but I feel like I was gypped out of broth. Is there a shortage or something
Ben RAugust 29, 2014
Spicy ramen, triple garlic, scrapple.

🙌 Herbie's International 🙌
Russell SinclairAugust 12, 2014
Non-traditional ramen by an American noodle master.
Agatha YuDecember 9, 2014
Nice chicken broth (what Ivan is famous for), noodles are too soft for my taste though.
Nick StanzioneJune 21, 2015
Try the dry ramen. Full of flavor
Puu KampolratanaFebruary 16, 2016
I'm super disappointed. Got to try 4 ramens and none of them taste good. Very salty and pricey.
SteveJanuary 11, 2016
Good, tasty and completely inauthentic.
Dan HarrisonDecember 22, 2014
The triple garlic triple pork mazeman is not available at lunch. :-/
JessicaDecember 14, 2016
Don't skip the pork buns!
