We had been here for dinner. While we were seated quickly, there was a very long wait for the food to get to us. We ordered the rock shrimp appetizer. It was crispy and sweet, good flavors. For the mains, we got the garlic karaage chicken Ramen and special ebi udon noodles. Both the dishes were good except the fact that karage chicken ramen was slightly bitter in taste. Although garlic broth was used to make the ramen, it doesn’t have to be bitter.
Also I would have loved to leave a handsome tip but the owners were insecure and they added the gratuity beforehand. We never came to know what our actual bill was as there was no receipt.

Good menu, not too many choices, just enough. The portions are plentiful and the quality is great. My wife and i enjoyed all that we ate, the service was quick and friendly. Good for foodies, date night, and drinks. They have a really good cocktail list, they are made in the bar behind the restaurant.

So, my lady and I decided to embark on an early dinner adventure. We eagerly ordered what sounded like a feast fit for kings: the Perfect Korean Chicken Wings, Shumai, Kara’age Garlic Chicken Ramen, HM Pork Belly Ramen, and a duo of refreshing sodas to wash it all down.
But alas, our culinary journey hit a few bumps along the way. Upon our grand entrance, we were met with a less-than-grand greeting – a distant voice instructing us to plop ourselves down wherever we pleased. Our hopes for a warm welcome were dashed quicker than you can say “appetite.”
As we settled in, our hopes of a refreshing sip were crushed by the lukewarm water served to us. Lukewarm water? More like lukewarm reception, am I right?
Now, onto the main event: the food. The Perfect Korean Chicken Wings were indeed seasoned to perfection and fried with finesse. But alas, the wings themselves seemed to have seen better days. Note to self: fresh wings are the wing to go!
My lady managed to find solace in the comforting embrace of the garlic chicken ramen broth. However, the chicken itself left much to be desired. The chunks resembled more of a culinary misstep than a masterpiece, leaving our eyes less than impressed.
As for my pork belly ramen, well, let’s just say it was as dry as the Sahara and about as fresh-tasting as last week’s leftovers.
But wait, it gets worse! Just as we were contemplating our dining experience, we noticed something quite alarming – the exterminator casually setting traps and laying bait while unsuspecting diners like us were trying to enjoy their meals. Talk about a buzzkill!
Seriously, who thought it was a good idea to have extermination in progress while patrons were trying to eat? Note to restaurant management: extermination and digestion don’t mix well – like oil and water, or in this case, like rodents and ramen.
In conclusion, while the food had its moments, the overall experience left much to be desired. Here’s hoping for warmer welcomes, fresher wings, and pest-free dining in the future. Cheers to culinary adventures, even if they come with a side of unexpected surprises!

I had the Yuzu Ramen. It was delicious. The ingredients were so fresh and it wasn’t too salty. The spice level was just right. It was the best, most unique ramen I ever had. Nice decor, friendly staff, reasonable prices. The rest of the menu looks very appetizing as well. I can’t wait to come back and try some other things.

Incredibly delicious food and cocktails. We went here for my birthday dinner and I was so happy with the quality of the food and service. We had the vegetarian bao which was crispy and covered in a delicious sauce. All of the pickeled vegetables were perfectly prepared and the bun was soft and fresh. The homemade pork belly ramen was also delicious. The broth was perfectly seasoned and the noodles cooked just right. Plenty of fresh vegetables to go with it. The cocktails were also delicious. I had the sweet tea potpourri. I came hungry and I wasnt able to finish everything but it was soo good.
Service was also stellar. Our server checked in regularly and was attentive to our needs. The vibes were lovely with comfortable chairs and a nice view of third Ave. We will be coming back here!

Nice spot, clean, polite staff. Food is crazy good, got the pork belly and chicken buns for an app. Then my wife and I got Tontonmen ramen and the kid made her own. Huge portions, fresh ingredients I highly recommend this place and will 100% be returning!!!

Great food, reasonable prices, portions are good sized, good ambiance and vibes from the staff and customers. I wouldn’t say it’s the best food I’ve ever had but it’s pretty damned good considering the location/neighborhood it is in. It may seem unfair to say but it’s because NYC has WAY TOO MANY amazing ramen shops, especially Manhattan. However, it is definitely a food stop worth visiting and spending your money at. You won’t regret it.
The thing that does win here which I have never tasted before? Their cauliflower. I have never had cauliflower that tasted so gosh darned good before in my LIFE! I could just order three orders of them for a meal (or as a movie snack) and be 100% content. It’s “healthy” and tasty, great mouthfeel, salty, sweet, savory, spicy, and in fun, bite-sized pieces. What’s not to like?
I’ll be back again in the future to try their other menu items.

Some of the tastiest chicken buns I have ever had. The ramen was also amazing. Definitely would suggest adding roasted garlic to your ramen order. Most ramen places only use garlic oil in their ramen but here you can add actual garlic and it’s so much tastier imo.

The owner of the restaurant is amazing. I called after delivery was over and he delivered my ONE ramen dish himself. What a class act and the food was delicious. Bay Ridge really needed a ramen restaurant, so glad this arrived!
