Hakata Tonkatsu ! Broth is made from hours of stewing pork bones and gives the soup a creamy, tasty consistency. Pork belly slices just melt in your mouth.There's always a wait but it's well worth it!
Really good ramen and their rice bowls are worth going back for. I wasnt that impressed with pork buns but their boneless fried chicken is delicious. Plus: good service and not a big ass line to go in
Best ramen restaurant in New York so far. I love their special ramen .
Best ramen in the area & best value in the city . The restaurant is small, but the wait goes quickly. No 2 hour+ waits like some of the city 's more popular spots. I like the Tonkatsu , but it's all good
The spicy ramen & the pork buns are delicious. This is my go to ramen spot in the area. I like the taste of Totto Ramen in hells kitchen is better, but there is no wait at Jin Ramen& it's still tasty
Fantastic broth, excellent noodles , friendly service , and prices about 1/3 lower than any of its closest competitors, not to mention the lack of an hour-long wait to get in (for now)?
Michelin recommended ramen magic! Its a never ending battle for me between the spicy tonkotsu and miso ramens . Try the pork buns , and cha-shu fried rice . Rice bowls are also killer. Its all legit!
Easily the best spot for specialty ramen . The kimchi ramen is spicy yet perfectly balanced as far as taste. The chashu fried rice is perfect to split, or just a cheap and light meal by yourself.
Awesome friendly staff . The pork buns are the best I've EVER had. Green beans are light and refreshing. Great change of pace from soy beans . And the ramen ... A+ (obviously I couldn't eat it all)
My husband spent 6 yrs in Japan and if this place gets his thumbs up, it means a lot. Kara-ge, pork buns , gyu-don, & spicy tonkotsu ramen -- all excellent. We will be back to try the rest of the menu.
This little hidden gem is phenomenal. Delicious ramen by Columbia for the students. It's no Totto ramen , but it's good for the price, location to CU, short wait times , and great service.
the spicy vegetarian miso broth is outstanding! ..the noodles were good, not great... def worth the visit for any vegetarian in love with ramen !
Columbia University-adjacent ramen-ya specializes in creamy, Hakata-style pork bone broth . Best showcased in the tonkotsu ramen , with a house-made roasted garlic paste and tender braised pork slices .
Place is so legit. Their pork based ramen dishes are out of this world. Also love their pork buns as a starter.
Their Ramen is delicious, but their rice bowls are my favorite. Got the fresh salmon one and it was down right amazing, hooked me right away! I am now a loyal Jin customer!
Start off with pork buns . Chef recommends adding the cole slaw inside the bun . Try the spicy tonkatsu ramen . Fantastic for a cold December day. Add some sweet corn for nice texture.
My second favorite ramen in the city - Totto is #1. I get the spicy tonkotsu with corn , enoki mushrooms , and extra pork . They make their own noodles . Legit.
Jin Ramen has been one of the most popular restaurants in the area since it's opened. Reason being the ramen is delicious, the service is efficient & the price is right!
Chef Mark works hard to make delicious food. The noodles are perfectly cooked and the broth is just right. The kani salad and kara-age are awesome starters. Get the vanilla ice cream for dessert .
Best ramen I've had in New York! I have yet to try Ippudo and Toto and the other big places, but Jin is close to Columbia and really affordable .
On weekends, the wait can be pretty long, especially when the Columbia students come down the hill for the tasty and inexpensive ramen . They need to work on the sake available.
The Hakata Tonkotsu is cooked with pork bones in the broth 'til they release their marrow , giving it a "creamy consistency that rivals milk , melted butter, or gravy ." In other words: It's delicious. Read more
Tasting Table's Top Ramen NYC: Spicy tonkotsu ramen , "springy noodles ... wonderfully creamy pork-bone broth, spiked with an umami-rich chile-garlic paste, and wobbly chashu ."
Haunted by their spicy tonkatsu ramen , I'm no longer dissuaded by the Papyrus-set menu. Dine with a partner, split this and hiyashi chuka. Kara-age is perfect with some lemon and togarashi.
Respectable ramen in Harlem? Order the Tonkotsu (Spicy , if possible) and you'll see what I mean. The broth is on the saltier side, though.
Start your meal off with the pork buns , and then finish it off with the Spicy Tonkotsu ramen - you won't regret it!
Decent cheap ramen with super friendly service ! Insider's tip: if it's packed (often is), just pop next door to Kissaten their sister restaurant for some soba noodles or a rice bowl .
Yes, the Spicy Tonkotsu ramen is redonk. But, Jin has the BEST drink special in Morningside. A pitcher of delicious soju sangria for $24? That's about $3 each for 7-8 refreshing cocktails .
Spicy Tonkatsu : I didn't love it at first, but it grew on me. Great, but not as good as Ipuddo. Had the Shio and Shoyu . They're nowhere near as good. The Kano Salad is tasty, but perhaps overhyped.
Pork buns are a must. Go to dish is always the miso ramen . Incredible food & service everytime.
Takes a while to get a table. The spicy tonkatsu by far outclasses every other ramen selection. The pork buns are also delicious.
Vegetarian ramen is great. Try the miso broth for an additional kick of spice!
One of the best ramen I've tasted! Noodles were a bit too soft though. Karaage chicken was crispy yet moist on the inside. Will come again!
Soup aficionados noodle around at Jin Ramen’s broth-tastic Harlem location. An Upper West Location is opening soon. Read more
Food is great, staff friendly , ambience nice. No line if you come before 6 pm. What's weird is that a bowl of tonkotsu ramen and a glass of beer literally made me high. Do they use meth for seasoning?
Pass on the dumplings and pork buns . Get yourself a kani salad and tonkatsu ramen . So creamy and delicious.
Spicy tonkatsu ramen and kimchi ramen are great. Also if there's too long a wait Jin kissaten next door is pretty good!
Try the chicken-based shio ramen.It may be a light broth, but it bursts with flavor including the yuzu-kosho chili pepper and citrus .
Jin is actually right next to the 125th Street station on the 1 train , and its definitely worth the trip uptown. Just as good as Ippudo.
In accordance with the restaurant’s name—jin is the kanji character for benevolence—owners Isan Chang and Jenny Ko contribute to charities supporting community-revitalization projects. Read more
The vegetarian shoyu miso ramen is spectacular! Delicious broth, just as good as the meat ones.
spicy tonkotsu always!! or miso ramen . katsu don is also ????????
Epic ramen spot! The tonkatsu is a favorite, extra pork and egg
The Kimchi ramen will most definitely take me back there again...and again...and again...
The pork buns here are excellent and really juicy. The broth of the Shio Ramen lacked a bit of depth in my opinion.
Mushroom broth ramen is amazing, just the right amount of heat and the noodles are perfect.
Get Tonkotsu with spicy on the side - mix in for perfect level of heat
Tokontsu ramen is really really good. Sit at the bar for a quick meal .
Tofu salad , Kara-age all good. I like all the ramen - but the spicy Tonkatsu may be the best - just takes time
Everything tastes great - I like the tofu salad & spicy miso Tonkatsu ramen - service can be a tad spacy at times
Get here at 5 to avoid the wait. Prosciutto & beets app is fantastic! - David E.
My personal fav: karaka-men with poached egg. Perfectly spicy, tangy, and meaty. - Grace Yoon
Try their noodles with special momofoku korean spicy sause. It is really delicious - leo kyiv
Undisputed best coffee for miles! Including espresso, drip coffee and anything based on these. Counter Culture beans and Balthazar baked goods round out the experience. - Michael T
Their pour-overs are amazing. Simply fantastic coffee. - Jeremy Andrus
Freshly brewed tea, hot or iced made the way you like it. Iced, lightly sweetened with bubbles FTW - Evan
