Be prepared to wait as they don’t take reservations. Start with the pork buns and the peppers. Then try the Akamaru Modern with a bottle of Yebisu. Your mind will be blown.
Richly flavored broth is the highlight of this Ramen joint. Go for the Hakata Tonkotsu with very firm noodles and very rich (more pork fat) – don’t be scared by the fleck of pork fat you’ll see.
This is THE place for Soba Noodles in NYC. We recommend the Soba Salad or Mori with Zaru. Arrive for their early bird special for $18 and enjoy a feast!
Tiny restaurant, so expect long lines. However, you’ll be rewarded with a delicious ramen broth. Try the Chicken Ramen and the Char Su Pork Ramen, which is blowtorch charred right in front of you.
Enter this small and character filled ramen shop and dive into a bowl of the Pork and Chicken Mix Broth with the Sale & Roast Garlic Flavor.
Tiny and cheap uptown ramen spot. Be sure to come on Mondays for their $7 ramen special!
Come here for lunch and fill up your tummy with one of their combo specials – the Salmon Oyako Don or the Chicken Kuwayaki are delish. Service is a bit iffy.
The Spicy Kimchee Ramen here is our favorite, but the Kale Salad is also not to be missed. Cash only!
Very rich broth here compared to other ramen joints, but we love how full it is. Our vote is for Black Garlic Oil ramen.
The best Pho outside of Chinatown and a great alternative when you’re tired of waiting at Totto Ramen. We liked the Braised Port with Egg served in a clay pot.
