I’ve been coming to Nishida Sho-ten on 49th Street between 1st and 2nd Avenue for the past 13 years, and it’s still one of my absolute favorite spots in New York City. I’ve been to a lot of ramen places over the years, but this one easily ranks in my top three. It has that cozy, comforting vibe that feels like home, and the food is consistently amazing.
The portions are generous, the flavors are rich, and the broths — whether you go with pork, chicken, or one of their specialties — are always deep, hearty, and full of soul. Everything on the menu is great, but a few of my personal favorites are the Black Kakuni Ramen – is one of my long-time favorites — the pork is melt-in-your-mouth tender, the black garlic oil adds such incredible depth, and the broth is so flavorful you’ll want to drink every drop. You can choose between wavy or straight noodles, but I’m partial to the wavy ones — they hold the broth perfectly. Sometimes, I even order an extra serving of noodles because it’s just that good!
The White Kakuni Ramen, the Miso Ramen! ( love it!) and Tan-tan Ramen are also fantastic! Tan-tan Ramen, which has the perfect spicy kick and that yummy ground pork with the bean sprouts.
My latest obsession is their seasonal special, the Mole Miso Ramen. I’ll admit, I was a little skeptical at first, but after the first few bites — I was hooked. The flavors are bold, rich, and unique — it’s a surprising but perfect blend that works beautifully in a ramen bowl.
The service is just as wonderful as the food. Beverly, one of the longtime servers, is incredibly friendly and always makes everyone feel welcome. She’s been there for years, and her recommendations never miss.
Over the years, I’ve met people from all over — Queens, Brooklyn, Staten Island, even visitors from other cities and
countries — who make the trip just to eat here. Once you try it, you’ll understand why. Nishida Sho-ten has a loyal community of regulars for a reason — this place is comforting, consistent, and absolutely delicious. Hands down, one of the best ramen restaurants in NYC. Highly, highly recommended!

Great ramen spot
A small, cozy, and authentic place — be ready that it’s quite tiny, but that’s exactly what creates its charm and vibe. We got lucky to find a table on a Sunday evening, which says a lot.

The service was very welcoming, and the ramen was excellent. I’m not a fan of spicy food, so I asked to tone it down and they happily adjusted it without any fuss.
Highly enjoyable experience — thank you!

This little whole in the wall was amazing. I got the spicy red ramen, pork onigiri and a coke. All the food was delicious and the service was great. It was cramped inside but that is ok because the food was worth it! I would definitely return!

Fine ramen, think the 4.4 rating here is very generous. Ordered the white and black ramen, broth on each was ok but didn’t stand out in any way. The pork was unfortunately tough, and I personally didn’t enjoy so much raw diced onion as a topping. Karaage was average as well. Service is very nice though, and I loved the vibe inside.

A good ramen spot that’s open nice and late! I was there at 1am on a Thursday night and the restaurant was pretty lively! The atmosphere is warm and cozy (I sat at the bar), and the service was great too.

As for the food, I got the black garlic ramen with thin noodles. The broth was definitely the star of the show. It was rich and creamy, and the distinct flavors of garlic and pork melded together to create a wonderful synergy. I really liked the broth! The noodles were good too, with the signature chew that good ramen noodles are known for. Unfortunately the pork chashu was tougher to chew than I would’ve liked, but at least it had great flavor. I do also wish they put another piece of bok choy in the bowl, as I thought it was a great addition. The price of the bowl wasn’t bad either relative to other ramen spots in nyc ($17 for the black ramen as of this review).

Also, as someone who LOVES bidets, I was really surprised to see one in the bathroom, they’re super rare in nyc!

I would recommend this spot if you love late night food. Also, If you’re like me and have zero self control there’s a pizza place around the corner open late where you can satisfy a completely different craving afterwards… (and then I got Popeyes even after the pizza… my cardiologist is gonna kill me! )

I got the black garlic ramen and it was absolutely amazing. The broth, was creamy but not too oily and heavy. The texture of the noodles? Simply absurd, the perfect texture. My partner and I also got the gyoza and karage, I would 100% recommend the karage! Very juicy and big pieces

I got the white ramen and added the house chili oil which was yum. I went alone during work lunchtime and it was perfect for the winter – they have a counter you can sit on and some general seating. Would go again to try the black ramen which looked amazing.

Seems they usher people in and out kind of quickly but all in all good real ramen spot.

This cozy traditional ramen shop has been in the neighborhood for decades. I love the intimate traditional Japanese ramen and shop vibe. Their ramen is amazing with rich delicious broth and chewy fresh noodles. I particularly love the white ramen with wavy noodles (thick). It has been hard to find this type of ramen place with this traditional vibe and ramen these days. They also have a number of other Japanese bar food menu.

Not an easy find since the google doesn’t pick up “ramen” from the shop name (lol). A pretty good ramen & drink place with unique atmosphere and lots of drink & appetizers choices. Ordered two appetizers and two ramens, ramen is especially fulfilling.
– Appetizers: A Fried Corn is especially delicious! Not sure if it’s always on the menu, but please bring it back if not.
– Ramen: Red Ramen is definitely on the spicy side, make sure you can handle spices first. Black Ramen seems to be Tonkutsu soup base with garlic oil (quite a lot of garlic oil), the soup is dense but delicious!
