Tom

Small, cramped, and often busy but service is friendly and the chef is very humble. The ramen is some the best in the city , my fav is the torigara . Get the gyoza to start.

Adrien

Chef uses yuzu—think Japanese lemon—to make a light, citrusy and floral broth.. it is something you need to try! Verdict is evident, this places ranks in the best of the best ramen spots in NYC!

TastingTable: ...ladeling 4 types of ramen , including a yuzu dashi , spiced curry & a veggie miso bowl made w/Momofuku's XO sauce . That last bowl might sound familiar to fans of Sun Noodle 's Ramen Lab

Heads up: their shoyu broths are fish based !! Great service, really cool decor. Got to try their tonkotsu broth, which was a limited special, really rich & yummy!!

Rohith Rao

Best ramen in the city imo. Definitely go with the optional egg , tastiest addition to the meal. Heads up that there is very limited seating but it's worth 100% worth the wait

Christina Chin

Tiny place, don't sit near the door if u can avoids, ppl will knock into u constantly. Gyoza is light and crispy , torigara is on point, light broth. Get with egg . Tip is already included in price.

Jacob Aronoff

Fantastic vegan ramen , best I’ve had in the city . Their special mazemen ramen was perfect for a hot summer day.

Yuliya Samsonava

Elizabeth Burstein

Lovely hole in wall spot. Delicious new pork ramen . Sake closer to brady was best in tasting. Top photo.

Love the yuzu dashi ! Refreshing and light, yet hits the spot like a great bowl of ramen should.

B Forster

Can't go wrong. In the winter, the curry ramen with extra Szechuan pepper is amazing

The Shaki Shaki spicy wasn’t that spicy - the broth is very light and clean . I’m more of a fatty broth girl but I can see the appeal.

Lu Tian

yuzu dashi and the szechuan cucumber . and a side of sake . the go to if you're looking for a clean , comfort food

Shiri Lara

Miso ramen is fantastic. Get the side of soft boiled egg , you don't even need to add pork . Flavorful and delicious.

Briszeida Bullock

Couldn't decide between two so i went with the torigara with a side of chilli oil ????????

Jarel Hill

Underrated ramen spot! Broth was so rich creamy and awesome.

Youssof Mal

Perfection in a bowl. Everything is good. If your ramen doesn’t have an egg … get an egg !

Marco Gomes

high quality ramen , artisanal noodles and very rich broth.

Shirin H

Great addition to the NYC ramen scene! The curry ramen is unique - thick and flavorful.

I could sell my soul for their curry ramen . So far it's a number one ramen place for me!

Super small space so go early! Very refined chicken based broth

Best ramen around. The dumplings were delicious too.

Dustin Lee

Interesting broths but not a stand-out/destination. Good place to go when nearby. Get the egg .

Chewy noodles and thick creamy broth ftw

I also love the yuzu dashi dish.
