Chill spot for top notch ramen. Tonkotsu should have an egg on it, but maybe the way they serve it is classic? Don't know - add a boiled egg! 🔥
Really quaint spot. Great Tonkotsu; on top of that, they give you the option to chose your spice level which is not usual in a ramen spot. The vegan ramen wasn’t our favorite but they have a spicy curry vegan ramen bowl that looked really delicious. Other than that, ramune and sapporo to go with everything. Definitely keeping this spot in mind when in the area.
Authentic ramen bar, food is excellent. Service is friendly and quick. Seating is limited*** the place can seat <20 people inside.
Small and casual place to get ramen from the people behind Mr. Taka’s. Specializes in spicy ramen but has a selection of usual fare. VERY flavorful. Loved it!
Overall good ramen place! I personally went with level 3 spicy but I would recommend going 4, 3 was not spicy at all.
The service was great, the employees are pretty nice. Not exactly going to change your life in terms of flavor but it is tasty nevertheless.

Ramen: Luke warm, the broth saucy and very oily. Looks like rich but actually really look like just mixed of sauced and pre-made powder. And egg not included?
Karaage: $11 pre-fried Chiken Karaage? No sense.
Portion is good but tasted meh.
Give it 2 star for the sweet server. Definitely not worth paying $40 for the meals.

what an amazing ramen place in the city.
one of our fried recommended this place, since their broth is out of this world.
we reached around closing time but luckily got a seat.
had their tonkotsu - level 4 spicy and spicy black tantanmen - level 5.
their spice level is good and noodles are best.
Is a must try in NYC.
Small space, decent price, quick service!

Small ramen restaurant that specializes in spicy ramen. The bowls are highly customizable with different spice levels. If you’re looking for a lighter bowl, highly recommend the vegan ramen which comes in a rich soy milk broth and a lot of vegetables. The pork chashu was also flavorful and melts in the mouth
