Great ramen. I highly recommend getting the shio ramen without the red onions, and opt for the chicken instead of pork chashu. Skip the karaage and go for the delicious gyoza or takoyaki instead.
I generally think tonkotsu is overrated; a light chicken ramen done well (like in here) can taste just as complex and perhaps more elegant. Plus, you get to walk out without feeling like you’ve downed an entire brick. Ordering the shio instead of shoyu or truffle will allow you to maximally enjoy the pristine chicken flavor. I recommend asking for no red onions because it can overpower the broth.
Ramen is evaluated on three components: soup, noodle, and toppings. They’ve got the soup down pat. Very flavorful. The noodles had a great bite. For me, mushy noodles is a dealbreaker, so I was very glad to get firm noodles. The only thing they need to improve is the topping. I noticed they struggled with cooking proteins, perhaps because they haven’t figured out the role of salt in changing the structure of muscle fibers.
The sous vide chicken was soft but I wouldn’t describe it as juicy, which is what I’d expect from this cooking method. Adding salt to the bag should solve it. The pork chashu was also a bit dry and gummy, not cooked long enough. Plus, the meats could’ve benefited from being warmed up, as they were fridge cold. This issue extends to non-toppings: the karaage was dry and stringy, which would not happen if it was allowed to marinate amply in soy sauce, enough time for the salt to alter the muscle fibers.
I know the takoyaki is probably pre-made frozen because it was deep-fried, but I’m now so curious what brand it is. It was perfect. Generously big chunks of octopus were surrounded by soft and gooey batter the consistency of molten lava cake, with the noticeable taste of pickled ginger. It came with all the proper sauces and toppings. It’s the best takoyaki I’ve had that does not involve a takoyaki pan.

We tried both vegetarian options on the menu, and they were well prepared. The portion sizes were satisfying and the service was good. The flavors were balanced , especially since vegetarian ramen can be hit or miss at many places. That said, I do wish the bowls had been a bit more generous with the vegetables.

Jenna, thank you for the black garlic oil recommendation and thank you for you friendly spirit. You definitely leveled up my DoorDash experience.
Highly recommend Shoyu with ajitama, and black garlic oil.. it was 10/10! The chicken was fresh, so were the noddles , and the broth was so amazing it wasn’t oily and it wasn’t too watery it was made just right. Probably the best ramen I’ve ever had in NJ !

Menya Ramen House in Metuchen was excellent. I had the tonkotsu and the truffle shio, both rich, balanced, and full of flavor. Portions were generous and the price felt fair. The inside was cute and welcoming, with a cozy atmosphere that matched the food. They were celebrating their 5-year anniversary when I visited, so congrats to them.

This place is an absolute gem! We tried both vegan ramen options and they were bursting with flavor—so comforting and delicious. The veggie gyoza was light, tasty, and paired perfectly with the ramen. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the staff are warm and welcoming. It’s one of those spots where you instantly feel at home, and the food really hits the spot. I’ll definitely be coming back again and again!

Absolutely loved this place. The spicy miso ramen was packed with flavor—rich, comforting, and with just the right amount of heat. You can tell a lot of care goes into the broth. The spicy wings were just as good: crispy, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. Everything came out fresh and hit the spot. Definitely coming back next time I’m craving ramen

Very nice spot — I split a veggie gyoza and had the Spirit Lifter and added an egg. Would highly recommend!! The dining room is really clean. The photo wall is aesthetically nice and they started adding sketches on napkins and chopsticks wrappers.

Located off the main drag. Of course, there’s ramen, but if you’re like me and seek an alternative dish, then try this. I ordered the Chashu Don (marinated pork). This entree hit tha spot and met my taste buds’ desire.

Nice quite atmosphere. The photo on the wall gave the it a nice ambient.
Cozy feel. The food was good. The service was good, greeted you nicely. Shy of a 5 star is because I ordered the spicy ramen and it wasn’t spicy at all. And then if you wanted to substitute something that you’re not comfortable eating, there is not much options.

Recommend: takoyaki, tonkotsu ramen
Good: chasu bowl, shio ramen, miso tonkotsu ramen
Meh: karaage
As always, review is on the food.
However, I will say that when I ordered I originally wanted to order the spicy kaisen (seafood ramen) and the server said they were out of scallops and asked to substitute with tofu which seemed like an incredible downgrade with no additional mention of change in price or anything. I chose to order something different.
Onto the food:
The takoyaki has the gooey center and crispy outside. The most traditionally executed takoyaki around.
The miso tonkotsu has a nice spice and the broth is nice and rich but it feels like it has so few toppings with just some corn and onions. The portion of the noodle also seems pretty small for the price.
The egg is an add on and doesn’t come with any of the ramen as existing. Feels very nickel and dimed for the toppings, and kind of in general.
The karaage was just ok and not very tender.
It’s nice to know they have veggie and vegetarian options.
Original review:
The take out has a little insert that keeps the noodles and toppings separate from the broth which i felt was clever if a bit messy since the bottom of the insert can get oily.
The flavor was great but i felt the toppings (like onion, corn, mushrooms etc) was a little stingy.
The croquettes were amazing. Definitely going to go back
