I finally got to try this ramen spot after craving a good shio (salt) ramen for so long. Most places only serve tonkotsu pork broth, so I was excited to find a place that offers something different. The restaurant is small with mostly bar-style seating. When you walk in, you write down your name and party size, and once your turn is getting close you place your order on a tablet.
We waited about 30 minutes, and there was already a big line out front, so we knew right away this place had to be legit. The ramen did not disappoint — the shio and shoyu (soy sauce) broths were flavorful and comforting, something you really can’t find at most other spots. It even felt a bit like home for my Japanese wife.
Overall, great ramen, worth the wait, and a perfect spot if you’re craving something other than the usual tonkotsu. Highly recommend!

i think this is the best ramen i’ve ever had. other places i’ve tried over salt their broths so i was hesitant to order a soy sauce broth. to my surprise, the taste was so well balanced. you order prior to sitting and it is SO worth the wait because as soon as i sat down my food was ready. this was just what i needed to warm me up in this cold weather. i can’t wait to go back!

I’ve always noticed this ramen shop packed with people, and today I finally made it in right at opening. The menu is ordered through tablets, and the limited seating fills quickly. We tried the shoyu ramen with pork fat and the tsukemen—both wonderfully light yet flavorful, with great chashu toppings.
My only regret was missing out on the egg, which has to be ordered separately.
Definitely recommend this place.
Worth the premium

Everything was surprisingly good, especially considering the location. The broth was flavorful and the overall quality exceeded expectations. The only downside was that the noodles were not handmade, but it was still a solid and satisfying bowl of ramen overall.

Again, the best Japanese Ramen place in NJ for sure. ✨️ When you get in, you need to place an order using a tablet by the door. It’s an open kitchen. The master makes the ramen right in front of you. They only serve until the preparations sell out. Soooooooooomg good

If you are craving a good bowl of shoyu ramen, then Ramen Matsu is the place. The broth tastes clean and deep. The noodle texture is perfectly firm and chewy. The spicy chicken rice is a perfect complement to the ramen bowl. The rice is cooked perfectly. Just a really good meal where you can leave the restaurant very satisfied.

Amazing broth. Noodles are the perfect texture and feel. The flavor is not incredibly strong–which is great. I loved the subtlety of each dish. The atmosphere is great as it’s similar to a hole in the wall Japanese ramen shop where you can watch the couple that runs the place as they prepare the dishes and ramen. Truly an authentic feeling experience.

Super clean broth, but still very flavorful. Just the right size, with many upgrade options available

The broth tastes really clean and the ramen tastes healthy. I’m used to the thicker ramen broths but it was nice trying something different. I don’t find myself craving this or driving out of the way to come back here.
