Julius TarngMarch 30, 2013Put your name down and go around the corner to kahve. One column of names takes approx 30 min on Saturday afternoon
James TongAugust 6, 2014Go to the new 51st street location. Less wait time and more spacious. Same great tasting noodles.
Doug DerricottJuly 24, 2012If you do not like to wait and complain..dig out, faster for others to get in who appreciate. Taste is worth every second ;)
Raz SchwartzJanuary 11, 2013Surprisingly good ramen in HK. Lines are long but it's worth it. Also, cash only
Eric NovelloNovember 21, 2011This place is stellar! Be patient for your seat, get the avo to start , and enjoy some thoroughly awesome ramen
SandyApril 1, 2012Spicy ramen with chicken + spicy bamboo shoots - AMAZING. I think I may love this more than Ippudo!
The pork buns are the best... The spicy ramen is very good too...
Go for the extreme spicy ramen. Their new spicy miso is very good.
Best ramen in NYC! Totally worth the wait! My fav is the spicy ramen with extra pork!
Chee Wai WongNovember 28, 2017Extremely long queue - like minimum 30 mins to an hour. Given that I’m a huge ramen lover and have tried lots - I’d say this is decent but certainly not worth the hype. Would I be back? Don’t think so
For a healthy meal, order the vegetable ramen and add chicken on top.
Lola OlatejuJuly 19, 2013Heads up, it's cash only! Two ATMs nearby, but really, who wants to waste that extra $3. You could leave a larger tip instead :)
JD MaloneSeptember 10, 2017If you enjoy ramen this is your place. Very lively place that can get quite noisy.
Senator John BlutarskiNovember 4, 2011Try the Totto Miso Ramen & order Rayu on the side to spice your noodles to taste. Absolutely delicious. Eat!
dawn.in.newyorkJanuary 17, 2015Not sure about the crazy long waiting line whether it is worth or not when it comes to the taste of ramen.
Angela WangelaJanuary 5, 2011We both like the chicken ramen best. The miso ramen tastes too fermented/winey. If you do get miso, don't mix in the whole ball of miso - too rich!
Emiliano ViscarraOctober 2, 2017Ramen is great as the one next to it but the service is AWFUL. The waiter rushed us to finish the meal. I know that is not a place to overstay but we haven’t even finished the Ramen. Don’t go.
Howard WalfishFebruary 26, 2015Arrive early and prepare to wait. The spicy veggie ramen is excellent
MelissaAugust 9, 2013Great ramen but not worth the wait! Zen 6 in east village has equally good ramen but no wait time
tomomi C.January 4, 2013Come early if you don't want to be standing in line outside... especially when it's cold!
- Wendy QiuJanuary 26, 2015Line is always obnoxiously long .. The new location is so much cleaner and less crowded !
Anna PasakOctober 11, 2012Sign your name on the sheet found on the door!!!!!! Don't be fooled by the queue, first things first, put your name on the door!
Kazunori ChiharaJanuary 15, 2014Spicy Ramen plus Extra Spicy Source looks spicier than regular Extra Spicy Ramen
Henry YiAugust 8, 2012Go with the Spicy Ramen with pork and save the pork buns for your trips to Ippudo or Momofuko
Thy DinhNovember 9, 2013Spicy ramen is so worth the 1hr wait in line. Pork buns were disappointing, no where near as good as the buns at Ippudo.
@HungryEditor Ben SetiawanSeptember 2, 2011If you're going for lunch, arrive by 11:45am to put your name on the list. They don't officially open till noon, but there's usually a line of fans patiently waiting.
Expect to get in here 2-3 hours after you put your name down. Totto is the new Soup Nazi.
theSusyness .October 19, 2012Come before they open (noon). Trying to eat here for dinner is a guaranteed 2+ hour wait.
