“One of my favorite raman places. The staff is lovely and the atmosphere is inviting. It's a small place but I've never really have any issue with getting a seat. There's alot of different choices for raman and even other dishes. They don't get annoyed when you ask to leave things out and have a section on the menu for things to add to your raman if you would like. I've loved this place for years!Vegetarian options: Veggie ramanParking: Lot right behind the resturant“
“I wanted to know if this would live up to it's high rating so decided to give it a try. I went on a Wednesday at 11:30am. There is parking across the street, behind the building. It's municipal 1 hour free parking. There is metered 2 hour parking in the front. While we were there, we were the only dine in customers. They were doing a lot of take out. We had the dumplings and the ramen. There was a lot of ramen. The pork was tender and juicy. The egg was creamy and not at all salty. The broth was the star. It was flavorful but not salty. It had depth. I could do with less oil but that's a tiny complaint. It lived up to the hype.Parking: Free one hour parking across the street. Metered two hour parking in the street.Wheelchair accessibility: Tight but doable.“
“I had the split ramen and appetizer combo. The ramen was very good and it was very filling. The spicy wings were the best wings I had in a while. The taro bubble tea was also very good. Sarah H was also provided us with amazing service, always making sure we were taken care of. I highly recommend this place!“
“I love the interior of this shop. It is so exciting and stylish. I love the private stalls as well. The ramen was surprisingly good. We went there just to grab something between a soccer game and a violin lesson with my son. I did not expect much thinking this is another Chinese ramen place, but ramen here was surprisingly above my expectation. It is not special, but it tastes like a regular ramen in Japan. My son had the combination ramen (you can enjoy two different tastes), a bun, and a tea. He was satisfied as well. I will go back if I have a chance.“
“We've ordered hibachi to go from here multiple times and have not been disappointed! The price is fair, the portions are good and the food has been great! I prefer it to the two other similar style restaurants in the area. Great service as well; the employees have all been very friendly!“
“I noticed this across from North Shore Farms a few weeks ago and finally tried it today. Inside they kept the bar from the old Bayou days. Used to love that place. Anyway this will be on my must go to often. Tan Tan Ramen was made with white meat ground chicken instead of pork. Some of the best I’ve had on Long Island. After I chatted with the owner. Sorry no pics, next time for sure!“
“The Aloha Bowl is fantastic!!! My husband had the chicken teriyaki and we we're both extremely happy with the portions as we Love this place! We'll be back again and again. Thank you Poke waitress Casey, you suggested the best bubble tea ever!!!“
“TLDR: I regularly visit Nipon Cha and it never fails to deliver an amazing dining experience. The ambiance, service, and food are always exceptional. My go-to dish, the spicy tuna don, is a flavor-packed delight. Even my girlfriend's curry pork Katsu don, which is a tad sweet for my taste, is always enjoyable. I can't recommend Nipon Cha enough to anyone who appreciates authentic Japanese cuisine.I recently had the pleasure of dining at Nipon Cha, and it was nothing short of an extraordinary experience. From the moment we stepped in, we were welcomed with impeccable courtesy and hospitality, truly reflecting the essence of Japanese service. The restaurant exudes a beautiful ambiance, striking the perfect balance between tranquility and liveliness. It's a sight to behold as customers relish their meals and enjoy the company of their loved ones.The food and drinks at Nipon Cha are consistently impressive. I ordered the spicy tuna don, a masterpiece that melds perfectly vinegared rice, spicy raw tuna, avocado, and a gently boiled onsen egg. A symphony of savory, tangy, sweet, and salty notes danced on my palate with every bite. The dish was elegantly complemented with a side of delicious miso soup. I savored every bit of my meal, ensuring not a single grain of rice was left in my bowl.My girlfriend's choice, the curry pork Katsu don, was no less impressive. The curry, sweet and light as is characteristic of Japanese cuisine, was a delightful pairing with the crispy, yet tender and juicy pork. The dish was served on a bed of white rice, topped with a refreshing salad. The curry was cleverly served on the side to prevent the dish from becoming soggy. Although it leaned slightly towards the sweeter side for my personal taste, I found myself thoroughly enjoying it.Every visit to Nipon Cha feels like a mini vacation to Japan. Sitting by the window, watching the world go by, I felt immersed in a peaceful and serene atmosphere. This restaurant has quickly become my go-to spot for all occasions, whether it's a family gathering, a date night, or just catching up with friends.To anyone seeking an unparalleled Japanese dining experience, I cannot recommend Nipon Cha enough. Their consistent delivery on taste and presentation, coupled with their warm hospitality, makes every visit a delight. You certainly won't be disappointed!“
“Quick service restaurant that serves poke bowls, sushi burritos, ramen and pho all with high quality ingredients. Awesome menu items plus a build your own option provide plenty of options to fill everyones desires. Dine in seating is plentiful, and the take out option is fast. Definitely give this place a 10/10“
“Poke bowl for the win!Build you own or select one of their signature bowls. I normally make my own and they never disappoint. The staff is polite and patient while I select from the options. Ths spot has lots of seating including high top tables for a cooler vibe. They also sell liquor which I have not tried. I have tried their bubble tea which is good.“
“This ramen place? It's not just a restaurant, it's a relationship. We've been seeing each other for 6 months now, and the spark hasn't faded! We dream about the broth, fantasize about the noodles... honestly, we should probably get their wallpaper on our phones at this point. The classic ramen is SO good, we haven't even dared to explore the rest of the menu. Maybe next time... or the next...“
“i try to go as much as humanly possible, i don’t know why there are reviews about the staff being rude, the staff are always super nice and super patient when i ask for extra extra cilantro. Best poke place and boba place i’ve ever been to highly recommend to everyone i come across- also a bit expensive what u pay for what you get and their fish are always super fresh and not hot like other places :)“
“The service is nice, the store was empty when we came in we were the only customers. The store is really dark and the ambience is a bit calm because the music wasn't blasting in our ears. We ordered the Japanese shumai and it was okay to say the best. We also got braised beef noodle soup and it was good. I liked how there were different types of noodles you could pick, we picked egg noodles. The beef was soft and literally just melted in your mouth. However, we did hear the microwave go off a couple of times before getting our food which was kind of weird.“
“I love this place! i’ve gone here by myself before and with a couple friends as well. the workers are very friendly and the decorations are soooo pretty. They have this bell that you can ring so that the waiters are called to you so you can order and pay and it’s so convenient! love kyuramen Kid-friendliness: Good place to bring family and is a very friendly environment. They have a rocking chair at the front that i often see children go on and enjoy a lot.“
“I would given it a 5 star if my son and I didn't felt rushed to order and leave. We were excited to eat here because it's our 1st time but our server was kinda rushing us to order and leave. I'm sure she didn't mean it that way. As soon we sat down and gave us the menu, she asked what we wanted for appetizers, I had to tell her to give us a few minutes to decide because we didn't even get to open the menu yet. My son asked for a container to bring home his left over. Server came with the container and the bill not even asking if we wanted anything else. My son had to ask for the dessert menu even after handing us the bill. Overall, everything was good except for the rushed experience.“
“Kiko Ramen serves up tasty, comforting bowls of ramen in such a cozy atmosphere! The broth is full of flavor and this place has so much variety! The staff is friendly and attentive. If you're a fan of ramen, this place is definitely worth a visit!“
“Nohara Ramen is the solid choice for Great Neck and the surrounding area.The Char Siu that is served with some of the ramen is tender and tasty. Many of the appetizers such as the Nohara Fries and fried chicken are well prepared. I’ve gotten to know the staff in this restaurant since we do take out from them each week and eat in once in a while.Good people making and serving good food. This restaurant survived through COVID based on their commitment and quality.“
“BEST freaking pad thai I have EVER had in my life!!!! Large portion size I had this for 3 meals! Such, such good boba tea my favorites are the blueberry (never seen that anywhere else & its sooooo good), peach (had this at other places but nothing beats this place), and the strawberry. I hope to try more flavors soon. Also they are open SO late everyday which is convenient for myself as i’m a night owl. I love that I can just decide as late as 11pm that i’m craving a boba tea. I’m in rockville center & this is less than 10 minutes away from me. Man working at the front so nice and the chefs are so kind too. I’m not kidding when I say this was the best pad thai & bubble tea i’ve ever had. I got shrimp in mine and the shrimp were hugeee and good amount given. Thank you thai ramen see u guys soon!Vegetarian options: I’m more of a pescatarian I will eat shrimp which they have and it’s very good“
“I ordered Musubi. It didn’t look like on a picture, but tasted pretty good. Prices inside cheaper then ordering to go (maybe it’s like this everywhere, but that’s what I noticed). I was waiting for a while for my order even though place was not busy. I would come back to try poke bowl if I would be in the area, but wouldn’t drive there just for the food.“
“Came here with my husband and ordered a variety of rolls. All were great. In our opinion it’s the best sushi in the area Mineola/Garden City/New Hyde Park area but is a little pricey, especially considering the vibe and feel of the restaurant.“
“I didn’t realize that there were two DIFFERENT restaurants in the same building. Their decor is also pretty similar with all the One Piece “WANTED” poster.. don’t be like me and if you’re meeting people for ramen IT’S ON THE GROUND FLOOR. Izakaya (I was sitting up there reading their menu for a bit lol) has yakitori and Japanese hot pot.I came here with my fam and kiddo on a Friday night. We were able to get a table no problem and there were two different servers manning the restaurant. They were so friendly with our toddler, allowed us to walk around with her so she wouldn’t get fussy during our meal, and were just fantastic.The ramen wasn’t the best I’ve ever had BUT for the price per bowl it’s definitely worth it. We also got a couple of apps which were delicious as well. The best one we ordered, hands down, had to be the agedashi tofu. Usually at other restaurants I’d get a couple small square blocks of fried tofu and some sauce. Here, you get a bunch of bonito flakes that added that extra umami flavor, scallions, and pickled radish. Delish!We were surprised with mochi ice cream on the house at the end of the meal and if that wasn’t a sweet enough deal, if you pay with cash you have an 8% discount. It was definitely one of my family cheaper dinner nights out and we’ll be back again!“
“I went to this place for lunch with some of my friends and it was amazing! The tonkotsu ramen was so good with the best toppings and we tried the gyoza, scallion pancakes, and chicken wings and they were all DELECTABLE! I highly recommend to anyone around the area and will be coming back whenever I come around the area “
“First of all, I wanna say the only reason why I ended up going to dinner there was because of the naruto picture on the front of the menu. I am a naruto fan and walking in there it had a great naruto feel to it. Now, the food the food was amazing. I only got 2 dishes because I never been there before and I went simple fried rice and some chicken and the rice was amazing. The chicken was crispy and delicious. I can't wait to go back to try the other dishes. I do not try the ramen and we all know Naruto is known for ramen. Trust me I will be going back to try the ramen. I will update as soon as I can ?“
“The food is absolutely delicious ? Halal Ramen! Finally! Lol. The waiters/waitresses are really kind, patient and helpful. The restaurant is always clean and there’s always a vacant table when I arrive. I love going here, thank you guys for the yummy food and great customer service!“
“exceptional sushi, really fresh and tasty. no deals here and no lunch menu but other than that i can't find a fault with this place. sushi entre came with spicy tuna without the usual upcharge and that was a nice menu touch. definitely recommend.“
“What a cold night it was yesterday. My son and I had just finished watching a movie and we were hungry, so we decided on some ramen to warm us up.Everything we ordered was served quickly by some very nice ladies. My spicy tuna roll was delicious and my son enjoyed his takoyali very much. We both ordered Tonkotsu ramen. I always order miso ramen, so it was my first go with Tonkotsu. I liked it. As did my son. Wish I could compare it, so.I.could rate it higher.Atmosphere was nice. And everyone was very friendly.“
“Lived in the area and passed by on many occasions seemed like a random mixed cuisine place that couldn't figure out that it wanted to be. Wanted ramen and Thai food and not happy with takeout in merrick/ east meadow / bellmore area so dropped in. What a pleasant surprise. Ramen was on point tasty and well prepared. Drunken noodles delicious and flavorful. Stand out was pineapple fried rice. Yum yum yum. All around a good addition to rotation“
“When there for a quick lunch for two. Upon entering we realized we were the only guests in the restaurant. The staff was quick to see us and sat us down at a booth. The place is spacious and gives nautical vibes. Ordered two ramen combos which have the options of one ramen of choice and one appetizer for choice. I had the spicy ramen with soy chicken wings and my partner had ramen and buns. The food came at a decent time and was hot, service was good as well. The only small take back was the bathroom could use a little cleaning. Overall I would recommend this place and would go back to try the seafood options.“

“A quaint neighborhood hibachi place. The servers are so friendly and I have never had any problems with their quality of food. Once my boba was undercooked and I let them know and they immediately replaced it and apologized with no charge. Such a wonderful atmosphere.“
“This spot is a real gem for a chill night out. Not everything blew my mind, especially the ramen was kinda alright, not outta this world, but still solid. Service took a hot minute, which was a bit weird because the place wasn't packed, but the folks working there were cool, so no big deal.“
