“"Muteki Ramen is the best ramen in Hoboken. We have been visiting this location since they opened during COVID. Excellent customer service, very welcoming atmosphere, and delicious food. Their noodle texture is the best. We love the general manager . “DERICK” every time we visit, he always welcomes us like family."“
“The owner KJ is super sweet and amazing!! Gave recommendations and is really nice. Also didn't say anything when we did work here until closing. The boba is good as always, but the food was amazing. I was not expecting the food here to be this good, all the portions are huge too! The popcorn chicken is a must, and the teriyaki chicken and curry chicken are also good. recommend!!“
“My go to sushi spot in Hoboken. Great quality sushi and varies different sushi options. The staff are always warm and welcoming and the service is always great. It’s BYO so you can bring a nice bottle and enjoy your meal. Love this place and will continue going back!“
“Best local ramen and specialty sushi. Whenever there's a rainy day I'm craving this ramen. Broth is flavorful and toppings go well together. My go to is the Miso Ramen (the braised pork is delicious and tender). Their specialty sushi's all have one price and are very reasonable. The fish is fresh and tasty. Other sushi places in the area tend to be more pricey for the amount and quality you get here. Also a must try: vegetarian ramen options.“
“It’s all about that chicken broth. Unlike anything I’ve ever tasted. Insanely rich chicken flavor still with some freshness. Truly exceptional paitan. The rye noodles are also worth the trip. Beware the half dashi/half chicken ramen - not for everyone if fishy broth ain’t your thing.“
“The experience at this restaurant was incredible from the moment you step in. The decor is beautiful with flowers surrounding you. The staff is attentive and nice. The food was incredible especially the fried vegetable dumplings. The bathroom was clean. There was enough space and privacy between tables. I highly recommend coming here!“
“The ramen is very delicious! We ordered the classic Tonchin, and it was so good that we had to come back another day to eat it again. The restaurant is quite small, so we had to make a reservation both times, but it is very cozy. I would return many times“
“I’ve been thinking about visiting here and I finally did it days ago. It didn’t meet my expectations, also slightly pricy, but some nice things.Ramen was good but average. One a slice of bamboo and a slice of pork, and over $20.Good part for me: the pork was well seasoned and cooked! Definitely the highlight of the whole bowl. And surprisingly, soup is clean, not oily. But overall, the taste was kinda dull, no layers for me.Soft serve was delicious, barley with beautiful honey taste. But it was a little bit watery and too soft, melted really fast.“
“Immediately as we walked in, we were hit by an amazing aroma of food to Billie Holiday playing. I was immediately impressed. Service was good, food was quick to come out, and servers were kind and speedy! Would rate this 10/10 if I could, definitely coming back!“
“Ordered the spicy salmon ramen and takoyaki. The ramen was really good with a rich broth but it wasn't spicy at all and started to taste a bit salty at the end. I wouldn't recommend the takoyaki because the portions are very small with a single piece of octopus in it for 10 dollars. Otherwise a great experience! + the servers were super nice“
“The food was so delicious. I had the Miso Salmon Ramen and the shrimp bun. My partner had the Rays Beef Ramen and chicken bun! It was our first time trying this place and it did not disappoint. The service was amazing and Quick. They were also very attentive. I would come back very soon and would highly recommend this place.“
“Very friendly service and clean restaurant with charming atmosphere. Have to admit we were a little disappointed with the food. We felt the pork belly in the pork buns was a little dry and I wasn’t sold on the iceberg lettuce on the bun. Added crunch in terms of texture but nothing in terms of flavour. If the pork is deliberately being left to be the star of the show then it’s essential that it is nailed precisely. Ours being quite dry missed that mark. The karage was well cooked but the batter tasted unseasoned and there was no seasoning or spices added after it had been fried. The ramen broths were very tasty and made a better impression than the other items we sampled, although the pork again didn’t shine.“
“The ambiance of the place, with cozy seating, set the stage for a delightful evening for aficionados of ramen.The ramen itself was a revelation: a steaming bowl brimming with uniquely rich, heartwarming broth, springy noodles, and an array of toppings that came together flawlessly.Prices were reasonable. Overall, it was a 5-star experience that I can't wait to repeat.“
“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.“
“This is true Japan. Real Japan. A modest restaurant of the highest quality. A small space on a side street. This is authentic Japan.There are two tables and a counter - 12 seats total. The chefs are right there. The server too, all are soft spoken and focused on their craft. The food is... The food is... The food is so good. So, so good.The sashimi melted, balanced with the spicy thing. The mazeman incredible, full of umami and flavor. The ramen healed my soul :)Do me a favor if you go... Eat, enjoy and leave. Be efficient... Be respectful. Be Japanese. It's a small space, they're too nice to move you along, but c'mon, allow them to serve more people and make more money“
“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.“
“Mmm, so good. We were staying at the nearby Park Central Hotel and looking for a decent restaurant within a quick walk. This one cropped up with good reviews, so we figured we'd try it. Best meal of our week-long NYC trip! I got the Curry Ramen, which was fantastic, with perfectly crispy pork katsu and nicely springy ramen noodles. My wife and daughter also enjoyed their selections. I think one was the Kin Ramen (which I also got to finish, since it was too big for my daughter -- the chashu pork was excellent!The place has a hip and cozy atmosphere. Service is friendly and quick. An excellent place to satisfy your ramen craving!“
“Wonderful food, great atmosphere, nice staff. We came in last week with a large group after a work party, and everything was perfect. Good options for vegetarians also. Thank you! 全部は美味しかった！ごちそうさまでした。“
“I had a wonderful experience at Ichiran! Though the items were quite pricy, the food was quite delicious! The service was fast—despite the long line at the front, we were seated rather quickly. Food was served and given within 10 minutes of waiting at my seat. I really loved the Japanese ramen shop vibe of the restaurant! The employees were extremely kind and friendly! I highly recommend this place and will most likely return again at a future date.“
“My favorite ramen joint in New York! Go here on a jazz night if you can, because the ambience with the artists is even more incredible. This is my 3rd time here, and while everything is great, I’d specifically recommend: spicy ramen, spicy tsukemen, oysters mp, and mango kakigori. Between the freshly made noodles and flavorful broths, all of the noodle dishes are the perfect cozy meal. I was pleasantly surprised by the oysters, which came with a yuzu mint vinaigrette that added a bright vibrancy to each oyster. Don’t shy away from getting dessert the end! The shaved ice is a great way to end on a refreshing note without feeling bogged down by sugar. Note that this place fills up quick, so reserve in advance or come early to beat the wait. Follow me on ig @chloenicholle for more nyc food reviews!“
“Our experience at NR, was mostly positive. The Japanese fried chicken appetizer left us underwhelmed, lacking that special touch. However, the chicken soup curry stole the show with its amazing taste and generous portion size, making it a preferable choice over the ramen.Speaking of ramen, while it wasn't bad, it didn't quite justify making a special trip here for it. There are other spots in the city that excel in ramen. On the bright side, the service was excellent, and the ambiance had a charming speakeasy vibe, evoking the essence of old NYC.Overall, NR is a great spot to visit with a date or friends, offering a delightful experience with standout dishes like the chicken soup curry. However, if you're solely craving ramen, you might find better options elsewhere in the city.“
“Wow! The Tsukemen here is amazing! Definitely a Star ⭐️. If you like a fish based broth then this place is for you. You must order using phone to scan the QR code. And you must pay the bill that way. Slightly complicated if you’re a party of 2 or more. Bar/Counter seating only. Very tight and narrow space, which makes getting to the restroom difficult. Food is worth all the hassle. Reasonably priced. Electronic payment is mandatory. We will definitely be going back.Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian optionsDietary restrictions: Something for all dietary needsParking: Street parking fills up quicklyKid-friendliness: Not really for kidsWheelchair accessibility: Not“
“Another brilliant meal! I never miss the opportunity to eat here when I’m in NYC and I Love sharing this place with people I know. An exceptional menu, great cocktails, amazing and attentive service and always a delightful culinary experience. Bravo!“
“cozy spot w decent ramen & good service. not too much seating but plenty of room when we came at 8pm on a sunday. nothing superrrrre special compared to other ramen places & i think would probably only come back if i was super cold or something(each ramen comes out to around $28 after tip amd tax)“
“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!“
“Giving it a 4 stars because the effort and intent was there, but the Miso ramen was unfortunately too rich for my tastes and I couldn't finish the broth, although the wavy noodles were perfect, very Q. The Karaage was some of the best I've ever had - it came out quickly and straight out of the fryer and it was melting in my mouth.One waitress was working the whole restaurant and was doing a fantastic job. 5 star service for sure.“
“Tiny cozy place for ramen. Had full ramen bar and maybe 4-5 tables. They serve asahi on tap and offer chu-hi. Ramen broth was mostly chicken based but had a high content of garlicky and salt flavor. You can choose thin or wavy noodles. I would say save yourself from gyoza. I found them crispy but lacking flavor and juiciness when you take that first bite. Over all satisfying and around 20 bucks a bowl.“
“Tucked away out of plain view, the charming interior and beyond exceptional cuisine make this place a 10/10. ROKC exhibits true craft and ownership of the dishes and drinks they put forth and you can tell they love what they do. Their cocktail menu is true artistry, an experience within itself.“
“The atmosphere was spot on--nice choice of music, and the dining was cozy but not squishy. Service was prompt, and they refilled our water jar well in advance. Our order was taken promptly, and the check on the back end came quickly, too.“
“Whether one is a novice or ramen aficionado, the Tomato Beef Stew Noodle is a good soup to try. The entree was reminiscent of a beef sinigang albeit without the tamarind. The boneless meat just melted in my mouth.The atmosphere was warm and so was the service. There is also a kiosk available near the door of one wishes to order takeout.“
“Absolutely wonderful bowl of ramen. I had the New Tokyo ramen and the broth was perfectly layered with flavor. It's not as clean as something like Tsutas, but very enjoyable in its own way. The only thing I can knock is the chicken, which was a tad dry.“
Ramen • $$
“We visited E.A.K. Ramen and were blown away at how wonderful our experience was. The service, food, and atmosphere were everything we were looking for. We recently visited Chicago and had ramen, which set the bar high. E.A.K. Ramen met our expectations and beyond. You can truly taste the love their team puts into preparing food. Our server even went out of her way to mix me a mocktail that ended up tasting better than the drink I originally had in mind. We will absolutely visit E.A.K. again. Thank you all for such wonderful service.“
“I’m addicted to eating these instant ramen noodles with the birria meat ?!! It was super delicious, noodles were cooked perfectly, and the meat was very savory, it also had a touch of spice to it, which made it even better ??!I also enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant it was very minimal and cute to eat alone or with friends. I met the owners of the restaurant and they were very kind and helpful when I came my first time ☺️“
“Suram is one of my best kept secrets in Hudson Yards, but I'm no longer gatekeeping! Setting: Centered near the Hudson Yards Shops and the Vessel, Suram features a dimly lit ambiance with tones of black, silver, and gold. Service: Kind waitstaff and the food came out at an expected pace for a sushi/ramen spot. Food: I got the sake don (salmon bowl - $29) and the spicy avocado crunch roll ($10). Both were at a great value, especially for the location and the flavor. Can't wait to return!“
“Decent ramen for the price point at lunch, it’ll definitely hit the spot for anyone craving for ramen. Well cooked noodles and the broth (in the style of tonkotsu)was well made with a well developed richness and balance, service was very prompt and food came very quickly.“
“Pretty big Ramen ? restaurant. Nice staff and good food. Reasonably priced. Credit cards ? are accepted. The spicy ?️ Ramen was the Star ⭐️. Extra Noodle option is a great idea ?. We will definitely be going back.Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian optionsDietary restrictions: Something for all dietary needsParking: Street parking fills up quicklyKid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: Not when accessible“
“If your looking for a authentic and cute atmosphere go to shinjuku ramen it has exceptional food. The staff is welcoming and professional.For starters the gyoza was yummy, perfectly prepared but the mains were exceptional, the shoyu king ramen was the best ramen we ever had and the eel and rice dish was also really good in flavor and the eel was done perfectly also the miso king ramen was very flavorful ,the miso flavor was exquisite . If your looking for a delicious place to eat around 60th and 5th you should definitely go to shinjuku ramen.Beware ,other ramens will be inferior after you have theirs.“
“Came here with a friend around 5:30PM on a Saturday and it was pretty packed. We ordered the Maesil Collins and Strawberry Fields cocktails--both were sweet and delicious. We also ordered the Chicken Karaage, Halmoni Mandu, Wild Mushroom Pajeon, Salmon Jang, Sesame Ice Cream, and Persimmon Ice Cream special. The highlight was definitely the ice cream! The chicken and mandu were really good but the ice cream!! I'm personally not a big fan of sesame but the gochujang caramel swirl intrigued me and the server recommended it so we decided to try it & it tasted absolutely amazing!!! The gochujang caramel was sweet with a tiny kick and it went so well with the sesame. Life changing!! The persimmon ice cream was also amazing with the crumble and persimmon bits, it was light and refreshing!! 10/10 would recommend ordering the chicken, mandu, and definitely the ice cream! I'll be coming back again!“
“very friendly staff, short wait time, small cozy place,food was very flavorful,n fresh, had the Osamke was delicious and nice size pieces,,also shumia dumplings,we also got the teriyaki salmon bento box was good ,will be coming back to try there Ramen and other dishes they “
“Whoever said this place is a hidden gem was right. I went early to avoid the happy hour rush. That said you get a discount from 4-7pm so if you’re not picky on seating that’s when I recommend paying a visit. Attached is the photos of what I ordered.“
“Amazing little ramen spot on smith st. The place is super cozy and the staff is friendly and very attentive.Besides ramen, they do serve delicious dumplings. Each order consists of 5 dumplings with chef’s special sauce. There are 5 different sauces available and each one will hit your pallet in a different way.Restaurant has a limited selection of alcoholic including a handful of craft beers.Give this place a try next time you are in the area.“
“Went there for lunch with four others. Wr call the Donburi but different types. The apps were the usual Edamame (can't mess this up) and some tasty pan fried Gyoza. We all enjoyed our Donburi and finished them but I thought it was kind of bland so really 3.5 on the food.“
“Nestled in NYC's Upper East Side, Me Jin Ramen delivered authentic Japanese flavors. The cozy ambiance and welcoming staff set the stage for a memorable dining experience. I had the Meijin Miso Ramen and ate the whole thing. The broth, simmered to perfection, harmonizes with the chewy, house-made noodles and exquisite toppings like tender beef, bean sprouts, green onions and sweet corn. As a local, I treasure Meijin Ramen for its consistently exceptional quality and comforting atmosphere. For a taste of Japan in the heart of NYC, Meijin Ramen is an absolute must-visit.“
“This place has a relaxing setting and good service. The food is exceptionally amazing. This has become one of my favorite places in the area to go eat now. If you're looking for a low key place for a night out with your partner or a place to take a date this is a good place to go.“
“I used to live in the area ; was up visiting family and I stumbled on this place by way of an IG reel so I figured I would give it a try because (a)-it was the Friday that NJ experienced a 4.8 earthquake and I most certainly didn't think I was in the right headspace to do any cooking and (b)-this place was literally 1 mile away from my mother's house so I figured I'd pay the extra overhead and have it delivered because it was so close.Let's get the con out of the way; despite me putting my address in and stating where I lived the food was never delivered. I received prompt notifications on my phone about it being almost ready & that it was on its way..but I literally was standing in front of the single family residence and received a text that my food was delivered but it wasn't. Not the best first impression..When I called the establishment Chelf Salty communicated his dismay and stated he would remake my order for in person pick-up; I appreciated his effort to make this right so I agreed.I'm glad I did.I ordered the spicy miso ramen, the tori katsu ramen, and the stamina ramen (was sharing with mom).The spicy miso ramen has a nice kick, the ramen noodles have a good chew and the pork confit was silky. Katsu ramen and stamina ramen though brothless had great balance of flavor between the amazingly dressed noodles (again nice kick in heat/flavor that wasn't blindingly spicy), perfect jammy eggs and the the chicken katsu was DIVINE..perfectly crisp..juicy..and again..great balance of flavor in the chicken.If you don't feel like getting in your car to drive to a ramen place and just want to tuck into some yummy ramen at home do give this place a try..I'm glad I did. Is it the best ramen I have ever had in my life? No..but I think it holds its own with the other ramen places in Essex county and again..I think it's a great option for the peeps that live in Nutley/Belleville area that just want to tuck into some good comfort food that isn't pizza or mexican-give it a shot!“
“Our waiter Tony was awesome and super attentive. Very fun vibe here and the food was delicious. Got a variety of stuff, ramen, sushi, dumplings, all super good. Would definitely come back!Dietary restrictions: It's a nut free restaurant“
“If you're a sushi/special roll lover, you must give this place a try. The food decoration is so beautiful that just looking at it is a pleasure, and it melts in your mouth before you even take a bite. You can feel how sincerely the chef made it. I highly recommend it for any occasion, from small group gatherings to large parties!“
“There's something special about enjoying a steaming bowl of ramen on a chilly day. The warmth and comfort it provides can be truly satisfying. If you're looking for a place to enjoy this delicious dish, consider visiting Hide-Chan Ramen. Their ramen is not only delicious but also the perfect way to warm up on a cold day.“
“Absolutely fantastic sushi. Amazing quality and out of this world flavor. Staff was so friendly. I showed up exactly at open and they were so happy and accommodating. I usually find showing up at open is a visible nightmare for servers. This is my new favorite spot for sushi. And it’s very quick.“
“Good tasting Ramen place.. has a good selection of Ramen and sake .. they have soju also! The miso Ramen tasted good very clean flavors and not overly salty. you can ask for hot chilli oil or sauce to add if you want a little spice.. great service and very witty decor.“
