Andy TaoApril 11, 2015You should definitely get the U & I, tonkotsu ramen with seasoned egg, and the pancake!
Pramod PaiMay 8, 2015Each bowl of ramen broth is extracted from about 24oz of the pork bone marrow .
Always pick up a matcha soda to go with your meal! So refreshing
Sonny DatoyDecember 6, 2013amazing seafood ramen (limited time offering). literally the biggest shrimp i've seen. one of the best broths among ramen spots.
AllenMarch 28, 2016Phenomenal flavors. Soup broths weren't overly salty and my Mu Ramen had incredible bone-y flavor with just the right amount of toppings.
Byron WongDecember 11, 2014Both the Mu and the Tonkatsu have really good broths. I personally like the Mu more for its brisket
What's Good HereOctober 20, 2015Okonomiyaki - the sweetness of the scallion pancakes go well with the smoked trout
Tony XerriMarch 13, 2019Delicious. If you dont start with a foie gras chickenwing, you're in trouble...
Escape CardonaDecember 10, 2015Awesome ramen spot . Food is great. The stuffed chicken is def something to try.
FotisNovember 2, 2016best ramen in town with reasonable prices. expect a line to be seated but the food is worth the wait.
What's not to like here?!? Should try the chicken wing thing and uni and the ramen... All of them!!!
Everything is delicious. The wings stuffed with brioche and fois gras are amazing. CASH ONLY.
Rei WangSeptember 4, 2015Perfection. My new favorite ramen spot in NYC. Get the Tonkotsu with the onsen tamago.
Ruth MadrigalJuly 18, 2015Place is small and cozy, and service is good. I can see why some people see them as a contender to Ippudo. Personally I liked their noodles better because they did not taste overly salty!
Jing Jing LiFebruary 27, 2017If they have it, the Mu Ichiban is the way to go. Slightly smokier than the Tonkotsu, it's delicious
Savannah PetrickMarch 6, 2016make sure to put your name down ahead of time and grab a drink next door while you wait

Everything here is excellent. My favourite tonkotsu in NYC.
Connie ChiuDecember 11, 2014Seriously better than the hype. Always get the egg. And the decor, oh that decor.
Dane BJune 15, 2017A little disappointed that the namesake Mu Ramen wasn't on the menu on my visit, but the miso ramen was as good as any that I've had in the city.
Greg Wong 🎯June 27, 2015Try to come 10 minutes before opening to make sure you get a spot in the first seating. (~5:20)
Nicholas M.July 12, 2017You will have to wait for a seat and your joints will hurt the next day but the ramen is worth it.
markus gerdemannFebruary 26, 2016One of the best ramen spots in NYC. Great service and great ambience!
- Jon WuDecember 14, 2013U-N-I is delicious, and make sure you get pork jowl with your ramen, SO tender!
Ryan EickJanuary 22, 2016The house special (with corned beef and oxtail broth) was absolutely delicious
Really can't go wrong. Everything is so tasty and unique
Omer ZachFebruary 29, 2016Their Tonkotsu 2.0 is phenomenal (though very similar to Ippudo's tonkotsu).
LARRYAugust 13, 2015Unfortunately this ramen joint is NOT vegetarian friendly at all. Hopefully the chef can come up with a good veggie broth!

"Honeycomb seating is cute. Spicy ramen is delicious. Despite the Thai iced tea being the combo drink option, get the lemonade instead, it is really good!"

"The kaarage is so good. The dipping sauce makes it even better. I like that it comes with a little salad. I like that the classic tonkotsu ramen broth isn’t so salty like a lot of other ramen places."

"Hinomaru Ramen was the noodle diggity. The broccoli tempura is perfectly prepared. Japanese imported Ginga beer to wash it all down makes for a big smile in the end. Get you some ."
