After trying their smoked duck ramen I could say that this place definitely is one of the best ramen spots in New York City. Prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is vibrant. The workers were super polite even after we dropped our chopsticks multiple times. Overall a great spot to casually grab some good food or reconnect with friends!

It was fine! Serving sizes were large, service was good, but atmosphere was just okay. Food was pretty good—I went for the birria ramen which was pretty good but not amazing really. Tuna tartar taco was great though. It was a pretty small place, so reservations are probably a good idea if you do want to try it.

Food was amazing. The tuna tartar was a great starter. The bone marrow ramen was very rich and flavorful with tender slices of brisket on top. The staff was very polite and welcoming and made sure we were enjoying our experience.

When I think of the effort it took for me to come here because I was intrigued by their acclaimed bone marrow ramen I’m filled with nothing but regret. The ramen was good, but it didnt wow me plus something about the brisket tasted a little stale or maybe it was the seasoning…Anyway decent broth and the bone marrow itself was tasty but I wouldn’t go back for it which is a shame as I’malways on the hunt for a go to ramen spot. I had a mezcal drink that tasted so off I couldn’t manage more than a sip. That was my experience with the food but it was the overall environment that left me uncomfortable. The restaurant was busy and handled by only one server. She was polite at times, but also abrupt — snapping “give me a sec” when I tried to ask for the drink menu.
Then there was the table next to me. After their meal, the guests openly **rolled marijuana joints inside the restaurant**. Regardless of legality, that’s not appropriate in a dining space. When I mentioned it to the server as I was leaving, she dismissed it with “it’s legal here, mama,” repeating “mama” in a tone that felt unprofessional and unnecessary.
The guests seemed to be familiar with her, which may explain the relaxed boundaries, but it didn’t make it comfortable for other customers.
Good food, but the lack of professionalism and the tolerance of this kind of behavior make it difficult to fully enjoy the experience or recommend this place.

The spicy tonkotsu has revolutionary meat. The fat on the pork melts in your mouth and the flavor is life altering. The noodles are PLENTY! We got lost finding it but it’s in the back top corner. This place closes its upstairs area at 9pm.

This place was so nice. I was a bit intimidated at first because the place was small, and I had my doubts but I was actually pleasantly surprised. I can’t wait to come back here. I got the birria ramen and my partner got the chicken ramen, and both were so good. They had a keen set of beers and we were both eager to try them all, but I was pretty set on the cocktails, which were also really good! And the music just fit the vibe. Very pleasantly surprised and would come here again. 10/10

My sister, partner and I went to Shinka for some ramen. We ordered the Beef bone broth ramen and the Birria ramen. Bone broth was to die for, ugh. Birria was okay still tasty but it doesn’t compare.
Helen was our server and bartender. She is amazing! She gave us have some free shots. If you visit ask for Helen.

The best ramen I ever had. The richness of the broth is another level.

This place brings the heat in many ways. Good variety of drink options. We had the pork buns, soft shell crab buns, and the ramen with bone marrow. The bartender was really nice and recommended us drinks to try. The first time I had a matcha IPA drink. Will be returning for sure

We came here for dinner, and I decided to try the bone marrow ramen. The broth was absolutely fantastic—rich, flavorful, and perfectly thick. However, the noodles weren’t quite to my liking; I personally prefer thicker noodles that could complement the hearty broth better. The restaurant itself has a laid-back and cozy atmosphere, making it a great spot to unwind and enjoy a comforting meal. Overall, it’s a solid ramen shop with unique offerings.
