The Potato Salad here is great as it contains Kewpie mayo and sliced cucumbers topped with a soft boiled egg . The Ban Ban Chicken ramen is light and tasty. The Morgenstern ice cream is also good.

Sarah J Parker

We ordered the ban ban chicken and the roast pork ramen and they were both delicious! Broth is super tasty and the meat was juicy and tender on both. What a perfect dinner on my first night in NY :)

Heaven = signature Takumen chicken , fried egg , garlic cauliflower + broccoli , potato salad , seaweed , avocado salad , yukari cucumber , fried shishito peppers , served on a bed of 17 grains rice .

Christina Chin

The decor/vibe is brooklyn hipster , not lic?cute place tho. Not trad types of ramen , got spicy one which was different, kinda gingery and lo mein type noodles ? I think i still like classic ramen .

Cole Kennedy

They had Beppu-style cold ramen when I went, and it was delicious. Perfect for a hot, humid day — but also excited to go when it’s cold and blustery because the regular ramen was great too.

Zack Davenport

So convenient! Great for getting a quick coffee with the dog. They sell MatchaBar matcha too!

Millie S.

Original wings were incredible, The Miso ramen was not your usual, and quite delicious. Service was really lovely.

Amelia Tidona

Literally everything is good. LOVED the wings , potato salad , kale salad . Sushi rolls all good.

Don’t expect anything traditional. More of a cafe/restaurant vibe than Japanese joint. Ramen recipes are unusual. Surprisingly family friendly . Laptops out on the counter, lol. Food is all right.

Calvin Teoh

Cute place. Ramen is great and I love the quirky dishware and enamel cups.

Quality matcha , impeccable service , and laid-back ambiance. Coffee served at the window, ample seating inside. Noodle bar opening soon.

Ramen is average - the cilantro ramen base was just clear soup . Appetizers were better
