“Coming from Minnesota, I've only heard about David Chang's restaurants. I had the Garlic Chicken Ramen and my wife had the Asparagus special of the day. Both were excellent in both taste and presentation. Well worth the trip and surprisingly affordable.“

“Fabulous food. Everything we had was delicious. The chicken wings were the bomb.“

“Delicious ramen, one of the best in town. It was especially perfect for me as I don’t eat pork and it’s always hard to get a non-pork ramen. Here they have chicken, beef, veggies broths! Amazing! Japanese curry was also delicious. I’ll be coming back “

“We throughly enjoyed our dinner tonight. There were 7 of us and they were so nice to accommodate us. We had 3 different appetizers 3 different ramens and 2 different rice bowls. Everyone loved everything. Highly recommend!“

“The staff was friendly and it was nice to be able to taste the same Ichiran ramen I had in Osaka. If you set the spiciness level to level 8, it's about as spicy as Shin Ramyun, but eating bone broth with spicy seasoning and rice felt like eating sundae soup haha.It's expensive, but it's worth a visit at least once during your trip.“

“Ottimo ristorante di Ramen (giapponese e non quello "tarocco" o fatto con quello istantaneo del supermercato) che offre anche una fantastica selezione di ravioli. Prezzi tutto sommato accettabili per la media della città e acqua gratuita. Posto piccolo, accogliente, staff cordiale e velocissimo. Porzioni corpose quindi ordinate con cautela o non riuscirete a finire tutto.“

“Nice calm place in West Village without all the pretentiousness. Although located sub level the place is spacious and well aired, in fact much better than many joints in Manhattan. The ramen was excellent, real tokyo style. Price was fair considering the big portions.Wheelchair accessibility: Not possible. Only stairs.“

“The Veggie Ramen had the most delicious mushrooms and the fried rice is the best fried rice I've ever eaten. This will be my go to restaurant every time I come to the city. I cannot recommend this place enough.“

“Best Ramen ever! Shoyu Ramen, features a perfectly balanced, savory broth that's both deep and clear and springy noodles. Service is swift and friendly, ensuring a pleasant dining experience from start to finish. Nice Sake and awesome atmosphere! And payment is super easy.We ordered California rolls and those were also perfect.Place was not crowded and very easy access.“

“I’m on my business trip from Japan and looking ramen restaurant near my hotel in Soho, I found this restaurant! They have various Japanese menu like sushi, katsu don and of course ramen. I really like the Shio(Salty) Ramen with light chicken&salmon broth-they told this is their new lunch menu. Definitely will be back because would like to try other menus!“

“The ramen was exceptionally tasty, brimming with noodles and an array of condiments. The shrimp tempura hand roll was incredible, and the jelly shot was otherworldly and absolutely delightful! The fried squid, undeniably one of my favorite appetizers, was superb, and the dumplings were equally enjoyable. I certainly ordered more than I could handle, but every bite was utterly delicious!Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is accessible without the need to climb stairs.“

“Went during a quieter Saturday when about 50-60% of the tables were full. Tonkatsu taken broth was rich and creamy, noodles were chewy, and the salmon ikura bowl was refreshing.Easy service, clean bathroom, simple and well put together dining area.Only note is that ramen's noodle to broth ratio could use more broth.“

“This restaurant is sooo good ! They have a really chill ambiance with great lightning. The rolls are big and yummy, and they have these really tasty japanese sodas that are so unique. Will definitely come back for one of those big platters !“

“This was my first visit to this dinning establishment. The food is delicious and the service incredible. I will definitely return.“

“Food is delicious, fresh and you get to pick the spice level.“

“Yakisoba tastes almost the same in Tokyo street food!!!!! Love it!! okonimiyaki is also good! The chicken (karaage style) is also a must try. Another thing i like is they prepare the food fresh. Can’t wait to visit again. :)“

“Food is always delicious!! Never disappoints!!“

“If you want to dine in just know the place Is very tight and small so there might be a wait but it’s so worth the wait. I think it best to dine in so your food would be nice and HOT!! THEY HAVE THE BEST DUCK RAMEN!!! I love their ramen I love their ramen !!!!!! GO KUNG FU STEAMED BUN BEST FOOD EVER ????“

“First visited in September 2022 and loved the place! I was visiting the city again, and decided to have my last meal here again. Delicious just as I remembered.Sadly I didn’t see the Japanese masks that used to hang on the walls by the booths. They added a nice charm to the place.“

“Uni toast. Everything is stellar.“

“Isn't as good as they used to be. But overall is ok to have a quick meal. The dumplings are mediocre, you can get better ones frozen in your supermarket. The noodles are good and the soup base are good. A bit expensive for the quality.“

“Incredible ramen. The soup base (pork) was fragrant , subtle and full bodied. The noodles were perfect and the accompaniments were perfect (we got the egg - totally worth it. Service was efficient and pleasant. Beautiful space.“

“Good Ramen spot, however, as a vegetarian I was disappointed they had NO TOFU options. Veggie ramen was delicious, but they could totally expand their appetizers choices and a great add-on option if they worked tofu into their menu. It’s 2024! No tofu?!Vegetarian options: Good veggie ramen, but no tofu options?!“

“Okay WOW! I’ve tried several of the more popular ramen spots in the city, but this one was incredible! Very hole in the wall vibes, but the ramen is fantastic! I also got the fried chicken buns and they were great. Prices are pretty good, too!“

“I am a regular here. All ingredients are fresh and high quality and I totally recommend this place for a decent Ramen. Aka Obi is their signature and everyone order that one. The only caveat is their soup is not proportionate to the ingredients so when you order a Ramen and add one or two additional toppings, the soup gets cold because the ingredients including meats, spinach, and bamboo shoots pre cooked and served cold.They should make their bowl a bit bigger and add more soup to it to serve Ramen hot.“

“A quiet and relaxing restaurant with a unique theme/design. On one side, you see a typical Japanese izakaya design. On the other, you see a run-of-the-mill Chinese tile back alley design. The services are fast and the waitress is polite. The food is a bit of both good and bad. The curry ramen's broth did not really blend with the curry powder well, making a weird blend. On the other hand, the Firebird Ramen was superb. Spicy, but not overwhelming and maintaining it's flavor. The char siu bao are delicious, although I find it crazy that only one bao is $5. The fried chicken is also good, although it may be too salty for some patron.“

“I’ve only ordered takeout here but the gyu don is delicious. I get the lunch special which also includes a roll of your choice and miso soup for a total of $20. Their miso soup is really good, doesn’t taste packaged unlike other places. I’ve also tried their tonkotsu ramen before, it’s good but I’ve had better. Just wish portions are bigger! Service is great!“

“Ah, it's delicious.. It's better than the Japanese ramen I had in Korea... Maybe it's natural considering the price range... But it's delicious. The noodles are chewy, the chashu is soft, and the egg is too soft. The soup is really rich and salty. The selection that came with it. Tid beer is cool and refreshing with a refreshing taste like a clean white wine severed by sunny!! Thank you!!“

“Delicious ramen. Yummy broth, very tasty“

“After several visits with friends: Ban Rai is a place where you'll find the perfect environment to make some special memories over delicious Japanese flavors, communal atmosphere, and be impressed by genuine welcoming service that makes you feel at home. This is highly evident at the amount of returning customers passing through. The staff are warm and friendly - they really care about their customers' experiences. I was told they have a constantly evolving menu and am excited for fresh experiences through the seasons. Sake selection has something for everyone! You won't regret making the late night trip!“

“I’ve liked this little restaurant for a while. Their Unagi Don is my favorite.There are some issues I noticed overtime. They don’t serve two person’s order together. The octopus slice that comes with the cold noodle dish was horrible, it was not even chewable. The appetizer sometimes comes after the main dish.I still like the place a lot, but will probably stick with the Unagi Don.“

“The staff were so friendly and prompt even when we came in 20 minutes before the kitchen closed. The veg ramen was SO GOOD, light and yummy with an amazing yuzu sauce. The spicy miso was creamy and well-spiced! The beef no-ryuko was also a hit at our table! The spicy gyoza were DELICIOUS - definitely recommend!Dietary restrictions: Full veg appetizers menu with 6+ options!!“
