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 stopped by for a quick ramen on this cold night-- and Meijin Ramen was the perfect spot! The spicy miso ramen had enough kick (but not too spicy), and generous heaping of toppings. Service was pleasant with friendly staff. I would definitely come back to try other dishes like the gyoza!

Good music and ambience. Ramen is superb. Worth what you pay for, big portion as well. Will definitely come back.

The service in this place is absolutely horrible!!! The waitresses are condescending and dismissive. It doesn't matter how many times you are eating in this place or how much money you spend, they treat you as some kind of nuisance. Terrible attitude. The food is ok, and overpriced, drinks are weak and expensive. Oh and the cherry on the top, they wouldn't even try to accommodate you, and will make you wait at the door until your whole party arrives.

The ramen here is very delicious! Also highly recommend the Tokyo drift for a drink that tastes great and gets the job done

Spent a dinner with my girlfriend and my mom. Enjoyed the ambience of the restaurant and the service was very satisfactory. My favorite food is the Chicken Teriyaki don and takoyaki.

One of our family favorites for a wonderful night of great food and service. Our favorites include the spicy tuna and eel crispy rice, pumpkin tempura, takoyaki, poke bowls, and of course any ramen is the best! A must try!

Waitress did not even smile once, brought us our food and never came back again. When we got up to leave she walked out with us did not even say bye just took the check, so rude. Ramen looks good in picture but it wasn't even served hot, by time I was halfway done it was basically cold. Got the spicy miso, and besides it being not as hot as it should be it wasn't spicy either. Was definitely not worth the price. Way better spots with hot ramen for a better price, pass.

Must try: Washu Beef Ramen and Lychee Mojito! Why: Ramen was heavenly! Washu Beef was thin sliced and delicious. Loved the broth, which was creamy and rich full of flavor. Also loved the plentiful Green Onions and Kikurage (mushroom) adding some great texture to the tender beef and ramen noodles. I also enjoyed the Lychee Mojito as it was refreshing! Notes: Great convenient location on UES. Clean interior with neat decor like the paper crane origami hanging from ceiling. Awesome chairs that also had an opening for your belongings, and hooks on wall for your coats. This place does get busy since it's a small cozy restaurant with ~3 large tables and ~3 small ones. I came for lunch at 1pm on a Sunday and it was almost full. Workers were very friendly, happy, helpful, and attentive. Had a wonderful dining experience and will come back to try rice dishes and sushi. A little pricy but totally worth it. They also offer great lunch and happy hour specials!
The service is welcoming and the food is amazing. The restaurant feels inviting, cozy and relaxing.

This place used to be very very good, but the past weeks I've been going here in and ordering I noticed that there is significant decline of the quality of food that they provide but it is still ok and worth for the penny. What I do want to say they need to improve their broth for their Ramen. There are so many competitors. as a local it's so easy to find good ones and never come back. I would say try this place but level off your expectations. The services has been really OK. Ambiance is like a tiny room with a touch of origami decorations, so kind of feel a little bit of Tokyo not so grand but you're in New York so that's good.

This is such a great ramen place we already have been coming for years. Their ramens are top notch and extremely delicious. You should also enjoy their amazing appetizers as well as great tasty cocktails. I highly recommend you come and enjoy and you will be addicted to their offerings. The space is also very nice and the servers are very friendly.
