Reviews
I ordered the tonkatsu ramen, which was very rich and flavorful. We also had the potato salad and pork buns which were both very good. Everything tastes fresh, portions are generous and the presentation is really nice.
For dessert, I highly recommend the ube pudding, it’s definitely one of the best ube desserts I’ve had.
If you’re in the Lower East Side and craving ramen, this is definitely a place worth stopping by.
I enjoyed every drop of the chicken Paitan broth, extra crispy chicken karaage, and the gyoza.
Not to mention a kind and professional service from the waitress (we were a party of three sitting in the corner table by the window in the back right at noon on 2/22/26).
Thank you!
If you appreciate high-quality ramen, you have to eat here.
You absolutely have to try the Tonkotsu.
A must-visit!
Before you come at me, I’m referring to a fully vegetarian/vegan ramen – it’s hard to come across a delicious, hearty, packed with flavor broth (unless you go straight to the motherland).
We came here with a group of friends (shout out to our friend for bringing us here) and we sat in the quieter area to the back with the bench chairs. Loved this little room it’s perfect for a cozy night with friends and definitely a lot quieter than the regular room. Of course, this place is pretty small to begin with but attention to detail, service and food flavors is what it’s all about.
We started things off with the spicy kyuri pickles which were absolutely delicious. The rice vinegar is what gave it that perfect amount of punch without making you feel like you were eating salt and vinegar chips (which I LOVE). Spice level wasn’t too spicy for me but it does have a kick.
Me and my husband ordered different ramens so we could try the different flavors and I’m SO glad we did. The veggie spicy miso red chili is what stole my heart and lives rent free in my taste buds (they too have a memory hehe). I think that dish was perfectly balanced without being overpowering or too spicy. The biggest amount of spice does sit at the bottom of the bowl and as I was siping my last bits of broth away that’s when I noticed my pleasant little wake up call – which again for me it wasn’t that spicy since I have a pretty high tolerance. IT WAS SO SO SO SO SO DELICOUS!
Hubby’s ramen was out of this world in its own way. He ordered the truffled vegan shoyu and WOW. It was one of those broths that can stand alone and make your taste buds dance and go crazy. It was absolutely incredible and one slurp lead to the next.
Both of the ramen dishes were incredible – I personally don’t eat eggs but even the eggs were beautiful.
Absolutely love this place and can’t wait to go back. It’s definitely a great spot during the winter to warm you up. Bowls are pretty generous and if you’re hungry enough you’ll eat it all. If you want to leave some room for dessert or grab something else in the area, then you’re good to go if you share one. My greedy self would never at this spot but hey, you do you 🙂
One last thing, LOVED that everyone can pay for their own thing at your tables bill using the QR code to split and pay what you want. That way you don’t have to awkwardly make your server do it for you and try to figure it all out while that one lemonade someone forgot to pay for etc haha. Super cool feature!
Had the special pastrami bao to start and it was fantastic.
I’m partial to their pickles – kinda spicy, quite delightful.
Cider list is pretty good, too – enjoyed the Fuschof.
No wait for lunch many weekdays, staff is friendly, music selection enjoyable. They have a nice patio out back.
One of my favorite Ramen spots in NYC.
Overall real nice flavor, I can go again just for it. The service was quick and very friendly.
The small plates were perfectly balanced — the potato salad with roe was creamy, savory, and unexpectedly addictive.
The ramen itself was spectacular: rich broth, vibrant flavors, perfectly cooked noodles, and the soft-boiled egg was unreal. You can tell every component is made with intention.
From start to finish, everything was fantastic.
