“I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch at this restaurant. The ambiance was nice and comfortable and the food was very delicious. I had the fried dumpling, calamari, salmon salad and a pina colada which were all very delicious. I also had the chocolate fried ice cream because they were out of the vanilla flavor and that was tasty. I felt that the portion size of the salad and fried ice cream was a bit small but they were both delicious. The service/hospitality was great as well. Our waitress kept checking in with our table and answered all of our questions regarding the menu.“
“I heard that Tonchin is difficult to get walk-ins for, so I was really excited to get a reservation here. There was a long line of walk-ins when we arrived for our 12pm reservation. The restaurant has a cool modern vibe and good service. Overall there were some things I liked, but nothing was particularly memorable.The kimchi mushroom ($8) was meh and not worth the cost. It was very small, cold, and sour -- just hard strips of oyster mushroom in a chili oil/vinegar flavor. I didn't taste the kimchi flavor.The original maguro ($27) was very good. Lots of great flavors and textures, and everything was cut to the same size. I enjoyed the crunchy bits.The tebasaki ($18 for 6 pieces) had quite big and tender wings. The drumettes had more flavor and sauciness. This wasn't a must-get, but it was decent.The smoked dashi ramen ($22) definitely lived up to its name. It was a rich but not overly heavy pork broth with smoked dashi liquid on top. It was good but not amazing. I didn't love that the bamboo was in a big chunk, which made it hard to eat. The noodles are nothing special. I felt similarly about the tonkotsu ramen.I got the aka drink ($18) which was pretty good -- very floral and good sweetness. It wasn't that big, though -- it had a giant ice block in it.Overall the restaurant has a nice vibe and the food is quick to come out, but nothing would make me come back. The maguro was definitely the highlight.“
“Delicious ramen, one of the best in town. It was especially perfect for me as I don’t eat pork and it’s always hard to get a non-pork ramen. Here they have chicken, beef, veggies broths! Amazing! Japanese curry was also delicious. I’ll be coming back “
“3.8/5 stars My first time visited Kame on Saturday it was a bit busy so we had to wait in the line but only for 10-15 mins. I had Spicy Tonkotsu ramen(19$) the braised pork belly was super soft but the broth is just ok in my opinion the black garlic oil is too strong that I couldn't even drink the soup but I did like the noodles tho. I added onsen egg for (2$) and it was just ok to me because I think marinated boiled eggs would be better with the ramen. Noodles 3.7/5 Pork belly 4.5/5 Creamy broth 2.8/5 Onsen egg 3/5 Drink Plum lemonade 4.5/5 The food was good but this is just my personal taste buds. If I'm in the area I might come back but I wouldn't go out just to go there. P.S The ramen came with 2pcs of chashu but I ordered extra that's why it looks like it's a lot in my bowl“
“This was my favorite restaurant of all the ones we visited ?? super kids friendly! The food and cocktails are delicious! I would go back right now if I could!Kid-friendliness: Children are accepted and have plates and glasses suitable for their little hands. They also have toothpick adapters so they can take their first steps with them.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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)“
“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!“

“Searched the web looking for oyster and came across this place! I came as a solo during happy hour & sat at the bar … oysters were 1.75$ , clean, fresh and yummyDrink was pretty pricey (17$) but definitely worth the try, the aroma and craft of the drink was appreciated. I had “the smoke”.Also tried the shrimp bun , soooo soft it almost melted in my mouth ! Food was AMAZING! I would visit again!“
“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.“
“Surprised to find and enjoy such great food . The restaurant is very small, more for takeout than dine in. It is immaculate, bright and the service is great. Beautifully packaged and delicious! A must try!! Next time we need to try the bubble tea...“
“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.“
“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.“

“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!“
“In the area for work stopped by for a late lunch and compared to the ramen places where I live this place makes me want to move the karaage was the second best I've ever had and the ramen was delightful expecially the egg which I personally don't eat at most places but happy i did here.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“Amazing food, awesome staff. Stopped here on the way to Billy's Midway (which is also an amazing place) for some dinner with a friend. We were both amazed by the quality of the food, and how nice the staff was. We will definitely be back when in the area.“
“small ramen with big flavors. I enjoyed everything from the chill atmosphere to amazing food. the blend of Peruvian cuisine with traditional Japanese dishes is a match made in foodie heaven. I had the double fried wings and sloppy joe bao bun for a starter and each dish was better than the last. the wings were super crispy yet tender inside and the sloppy joe bao buns were a trip down memory lane. the sloppy brought me back to my childhood eating at a friend's house. for my ramen I had the tonkatu. their pork broth was hearty and tasteful and reminded me of my first bowl of real ramen. I highly recommend going there and finding out on your own...“
“This is my favourite restaurant in New York. The service is amazing. I could have this for breakfast, lunch and dinner for my whole life. The owner gave me a free drink.I recommend this place because The food is amazing. Everyone is so nice. It makes my life so good. We had the pork Ramen, amazing , we also had the spicy chicken that was so flavourful and and the salmon poke bowl that so fresh,it tasted like heaven.Review by Rawly (12)“
“Freshest poke bowl around!! We went here for the first time after hearing great things and loved it. The fish and toppings were extremely fresh, more than most places we’ve been to in the area. We ordered the Salmon Lover bowl and made our own both were great! Service was fast, attentive and friendly. Highly recommend.“

“- we tried 5 different kinds of sushi rolls: salmon avocado and the california rolls were good, the eel avocado roll is a bit too heavy in my opinion (the sauce is really sweet), the premium black eel was average (and not worth the price) and the black spicy tuna roll was not our cup of tea at all.- I expect much more from a sushi place with 4.8 out of 5. It was ok overall, but nothing to remember+ the food came very fast, the staff is friendly+ they serve tap water“
“The food and service were excellent. Appetizers were great, including the Chicken Karaage (Bites) and Squid Skewer. Beef Gyoza was tasty as well. We had 3 different types of ramen, and all were delicious. The seafood ramen was good and hearty, and the pork broth was great. The pork cutlet was really good quality, meaty and soft. The service was very nice, helpful and friendly. Overall, a great experience and we'll definitely be back.“
“I love the ambiance in this place, the wood accents and clean lines is really soothing. We came on a Friday night and didn’t make a reservation. It wasn’t busy but there was only one server so it was slower but the server was friendly and attentive. The ramen is AMAZING! Highly HIGHLY recommend stopping in for the ramen, it will not disappoint. The fried chicken and octopus appetizers were good but in our minds we thought they’d be different.“
“Nestled in the bustling Times Square, Kyuramen offers a delightful Japanese dining experience that's hard to resist.

I will be going back and bringing others with me. I so appreciated the hospitality. KUDO! ❤️ ?Vegetarian options: Great meal with sesame string beans.“
“Sorry for the lack of photos for the review. This is my second time here and let me say it was better than the first time, the potato corn dog got bigger??!! Wings were fantastic and the tteokbokki was chewy and spicy. Please keep up the consistency for which koreans are amazing for.“
“Best shoyu ramen ever!!! I eat at Ramen Matsu every month. The quality is really consistent and the ramen makes my stomach so comfortable. I brought a lot of my friends there, and they love it too! It’s a hidden gem place if you haven’t try it yet. The food comes out fast, and the rice bowl is also tasty, it’s one of my favorite restaurants in NJ.“
“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“
“Zen Ramen and Sushi is a culinary gem. The menu boasts an impressive array of options, including delightful vegan choices that are sure to satisfy even the most discerning palates. The vegan ramen is a standout, with a rich, flavorful broth and an abundance of fresh vegetables. The sushi selection is equally impressive, with creative rolls that showcase the chef's skill and innovation. The service is attentive and friendly, adding to the overall enjoyment of the meal. Whether you're a dedicated vegan or simply looking to explore new flavors, Zen Ramen and Sushi is a must-visit destination for food lovers of all kinds.“
“Great prices and delectable bites. Soup dumplings, steamed dumplings, peking duck buns, wontons, and beef noodles were the perfect dishes to share among the 4 of us girls. My personal favourites were the steamed pork and shrimp dumplings and peking duck buns.“

“Went here for a late lunch and was very pleased by how good all the food was! We got the Shiso juice which was very freshing and the takoyaki. Our favorites were the ramens we had which was the red spicy ramen and the black garlic ramen. Both had great flavor, came with a lot of noodles and the chashu was cooked very well to the point where it was super tender.“
“Great spot with solid flavors and ramen done just right. I ordered the spicy miso vegetable ramen, which was a big and delicious portion of food. It was a very satisfying bowl of goodness on a rainy day. My only wish is that they create a vegetarian version of their signature Tabata ramen, so I too can try it in the future. Good, no fuss service and atmosphere.Vegetarian options: Miso vegetarian ramen and spicy miso vegetarian ramen.“
“I was here a couple weeks ago. Very welcoming and friendly. I came here by myself sat at the bar. The attention to detail was there, the bartender was great with information on Japanese whiskey and cocktails. The dessert was blew my tastes bud away.“
“Oh, my!! Dumplings are melt in your mouth, hot and another order, please The Angry Dragon sushi tamed our appetites, The Ramen noodle soup...is very creamy and delicious...just when we thought we couldn't eat another bite,,,, our server, Sophia offered dessert, we couldn't decide ,when she brought our mango passion fruit sorbet she kindly brought her favorite Lemoncello on her, , let me say the Fantastic food, great atmosphere were only enhanced by Sophia's calm and respectful service. We will be back!!!“
“Tiny little Japanese restaurant with a lovely friendly team in the open kitchen!Had the bento box and it was flavorful. Sushi was fresh. My partner enjoyed his ramen (but I personally preferred the bento and sushi options).Will absolutely be back!There are a couple tables outside in case the weather is nice.“
“Get the salmon tartare as your app. I could eat 5 orders of these, easily. You’re welcome.All the ramen are mid. Albeit some are very creative. The broth isn’t as rich as I’d prefer and alway just falls short of… damn that’s good. That said, they never disappoint, they just never wow. The noodles are also mid.Service is always friendly and efficient.Portion to $: 4/5Date spot: lunch maybe, dinner no.All this said, it’s the best ramen north of 79th Street. So far.“
“Super tasty batten ramen, I like it and the appetizers are delicious, it’s funny that they have Manga for foreigners since we don’t know the language! (There should be something for all languages.?) But the food is very delicious, I faithfully recommend it..“
“Decent casual sit down sushi. Service was quick and friendly. They have a grab and go section. I ordered the sushi box of 4 plus a choice of salad (I chose edamame). I really liked the shrimp tempura and spicy tuna, good flavors. Of note (as of 12/19/23), there must be construction going on next door because it was REALLY loud. You could feel the ground vibrate while you eat. While this establishment probably has nothing to do with that, it did ruin the vibe.“
“I got the basic Ramen and it was great! Next time I will add the extras. It was our first time so we didn’t know what to expect. Great texture and the broth was rich. Absolutely amazing! All I knew was that a friend said it was one of the most authentic places he has been to and he recommended that I try it while in New York! Not disappointed at all!!“
“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!“
