Only thing to note: they are so good and known that you’d better make a reservation to get a table. There were a few walk ins but wait time can be a little long.
Star of the show was the soba panna cotta. Deep, earthy, buckwheat flavour in the actual custard. Minty olive oil in the topping was an inspired touch. Don’t sleep on the dessert! And the happy hour.
That said, the service was seriously disappointing. Right at the start I asked for water and, instead of offering tap water like they were giving everyone else, I was only offered a bottled water for $7. I said yes because I assumed tap water wasn’t available—only to realize later that it clearly was.
Then things got worse: my order was brought twice to the diner sitting next to me, never to me, until they finally noticed. After two back-and-forths, they eventually brought both dishes, and thankfully they were great. But even at the end, when it was time to pay, the person next to me asked for their check and they brought mine instead. They caught it and handed it to me, so I paid the exact amount and left a very small tip because the service had been so poor.
What really sealed it was that the waitress confronted me, insisting that service wasn’t included and that “this is New York” so I have to tip. Being spoken to like that—after such a messy experience—was honestly unacceptable. Tips are earned, not demanded.I went to a well-known ramen spot in New York City and, food-wise, it absolutely delivered. I ordered the Tonkotsu Tokyo Classic ramen and it was spectacular—rich, deep, and perfectly balanced. I also had the gyoza, which were delicious. The place itself is really lovely, and overall the food is genuinely amazing.

The food was delicious!! my personal favorite was to hitman. The broth’s consistency was thick enough to coat the noodles completely and packed with flavor! The Unagi rice ball made me want to keep ordering rice balls for the rest of my meal! I would love to come back!
concise menu which is always a good sign. Got the classic and the spicy ramen. Also the tokyo banana dessert!
Service was on par as well. This is a nice spot for a decent, casual meal.
