BettySeptember 11, 2016Cocktails are extremely creative and delicious (they're the Angel Share guys after all), like the Thai Tea in eggshell. Pork buns are on point and love the $1.50 oyster happy hour before 7pm! 🙌🏻
- The Kyoto ramen is so good with a mix of fish broth and chicken broth! Try a cocktail or three...there is no holding back of alcohol in the cocktails!
Alexa ScordatoOctober 20, 2016Matsumen is really different (no broth), but you can't go wrong with any of the options (Okinawa has a nice bright citrus taste while Sapporo is packed with umami flavor). Matcha cocktail is awesome!
- RisaJuly 28, 2017Cute hole-in-the-wall w creative cocktails (like cumin/yogurt!?!). Pineapple drink is a showstopper. Ramen is good, but small bites are the best. Definitely get the uni tofu and melty pork buns!!
Foxxy BMarch 12, 2018If you’re north of Central Park this is a gem. Otherwise it’s a good ramen experience w/ excellent cocktails. Thai iced tea cocktail is a must. Add a lot of chili as nothing’s that spicy. Tiny space.
Leonardo UrbinaOctober 2, 2018I liked the shrimp bun over the pork belly one surprisingly. Neither are bad but I liked the flavor. The tomato clam drink is fun. Ramen broth for both ramen (two different ones) was great.
Beautiful seafood-based broth (get the Kyoto style!), eclectic rotating selection of oysters. Nicest owners that put care into every detail.
Christine WangMay 10, 2016Looking for a lighter-feeling ramen that isn't a salt bomb? Look no further than the fish-based broth and ramen here. Definitely make sure to try the refreshing iced green tea as well.
Nelly MagooNovember 10, 2016Lovely little yummy Japanese place on West 141 St. Fantastic selection of oysters-great happy hour deal. Efficient friendly staff and the ramen broth is really tasty. Ill be visiting again for sure!
Eaters HeavenDecember 24, 2017Hip ramen joint w/creative cocktails&oyster bar. Kyoto, Sapporo&Hakata ramen-perfect texture&bite, broth was rich and unique(Kyoto-a bit too salty), Uni tofu&shrimp avocado-great.
david beckerSeptember 21, 2018Creatively made cocktails, nice selection of oysters (and some available at happy-hour prices), good ramen (although I wouldn’t mind if there were just a little bit more meat in the ramen).
Emily K.September 17, 2017Next level cocktails with creative flavors and presentation - get the Hijiki. Ramen is great without being heavy, thanks to their focus on mostly chicken or fish based broths.
Sam McCrimsonMay 20, 2021The drinks are innovative and delicious. I had the Hijiki (seaweed) cocktail and my friend had the pineapple and passionfruit with burnt cinnamon. Both really great.
Zach ScottJune 10, 2019Ramen, of course. Don’t come with a huge appetite (portions are medium sized) but if in the mood for unusually interesting cocktails and some ramen, you will enjoy yourself.
Jon ChuDecember 31, 2016Variety choice of ramen and cocktails. Ramen was made to flavor and not overly salty. Oysters and cocktail are great as well
NuffDecember 31, 2021Fantastic cocktails, wonderful staff, fun, slightly intimate vibe and delicious ramen. Can’t go wrong here.
- Gabriel M.July 29, 2017Creative cocktails and delicious ramen, a fun combination. The place is tiny and has a strong oyster smell, but it's definitely worth a visit.
Kay BrockFebruary 22, 2017Love the ramen, but the drinks are the star of the show. I love the Pineapple and the Pisco Sour.
Alex FishJune 13, 2016Excellent new noodle spot in Harlem. Fish broth but not fishy at all! Very light and delicious.
EM H.November 12, 2018Best cocktails in the city. Loved the tomato clam, cumin yogurt, and Mexican during squad. Also the mazemen was yum!
The cocktails are beyond inventive. The Truffle has to be tried to be believed. The oysters (best mignonette ever), and of course...the ramen.
Delicious, refreshing fish - based broth. Oysters are creative and fresh
Dan HarrisonOctober 1, 2016The yuzu edamame is a perfect example of the whole being more than the sum of its parts.- Conrad Greiner-BechertJune 30, 2017Plain set up with impressive cocktails on offer, and their Ramen is the bomb. Worth bringing a date here.
The ginger and smoke are the best drinks to have. Kyoto is a place but the namesake ramen is the best.
Dan RobertsFebruary 19, 2017Creative cocktails and delicious ramen (some that are made with chicken and/or fish broth)!
Creative cocktails & delicious ramen. They have gluten free noodle options as well!
Snatch a seat at the bar and watch the bartenders work their magic up-close and personal.- Thando MtshaliFebruary 6, 2018Great ramen and cocktails. They don’t do reservations so getting a table is hard.
Incredible and inventive cocktails. Try the truffle cocktail.
