Great spicy miso ramen and kimchi is a great shareable option
Melissa ChienDecember 1, 2013Order your ramen with the salt and roasted garlic broth. It is beyond delicious.
Breeze SkrrtJuly 23, 2015Cash only and prepare to sweat if you go in summer. Still always tasty, whatever you get.
The Corcoran GroupSeptember 17, 2010Enter 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.
Gabrielle ShinerAugust 24, 2013This place is awesome! Really down to earth. And, yes vegans, they have options!
Thomas PajorJune 25, 2015The Minca Ramen was magnificent. But: Sitting at the bar, the AC blew a freaking cold storm in my face. That was really unpleasant and ruined the experience.- Chloe HNovember 20, 2014Spicy miso perfect for a cold day. Don't sit at the bar in front of the door, brrr!
Renato Valdes OlmosMarch 24, 2011Fantastic homemade noodles in a variety of delicious broths. I got the Wahoo with pork, and a side of kimchee. See pic.
Helen SJanuary 25, 2012you can choose b/t pork or chicken for the ramen topping. afterwards, go to ace bar to play some skee-ball.
Rahul SenOctober 23, 2013Am a spice lightweight but found the Spicy Pork Miso ramen delicious and hearty.
JoyceAugust 2, 2021Don’t get the spicy tsukumen! It was not spicy and too salty. With that said, the host was quite friendly, but this place was quite busy during COVID-19. Plan to wait at least 5 minutes.
LyssOctober 9, 2010get the kimchee miso ramen, its my alltime favorite there!!! i also LOVEEE the Basic Ramen. 3 years coming to this place and i still LOVE it.
Maitland WatersOctober 16, 2013are you working your way through my Maitdizzy dogg NYC noodle bar list on 4 square? ;-) great to meet up last night.
SkeeterNYCDecember 19, 2010Spicy Miso Ramen was soooo rich. Almost too rich. But, man, they cook their pork perfectly. Well done, but still not as good as Totto Ramen or Ippudo.
Spicy miso tsukemen with thick noodles. Unbelievably satisfying.
Best raman in NY. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
We tried ippudo, toto and the spicy Ramen at Minca is still our favorite in NYC
Elizabeth LovejoyMarch 3, 2014Vegetable miso ramen. And bring change because they didn't even have ones by the end of the night.
Don't overlook the daikon salad. It's huge and delicious.
Tonkotsu Basic with thin noodles load up with extra melt in your mouth chashu is to die for! F*** the hype @ momofuku & ippudo
Carissa GOctober 27, 2013The pork & chicken broth is absolutely delicious! Spice it up with a splash of chili oil.
Corinna PJanuary 18, 2012Get the Minca ramen, with soy broth, tea-boiled egg, kelp, and thin noodles.
The cold spicy miso ramen was confusing but as delicious as the hot one.
delivery is super fast - call ahead of time, and you'll be in and out in under 2 minutes.
Spicy Miso is great (huge portion!). Gyoza is too oily. Bring cash -- they don't take credit cards.

"Yes, it's the crowd favorite & it's really good. Gotta give some love to the others first, but if you're a patient group or a hungry single eater you're in good shape to get a coveted bowl of Ippudo!"

"Great, GREAT Ramen and chicken wings! If you go to early you might get steamed up from the freshly made broth fyi."
