Ramen Restaurant · Bedford-Stuyvesant · 31 tips and reviews
Julius Tarng: Standing room only. Pass on the soba
Christina Chin: Tonbara ramen with miso. Very rich thick broth but they give you extra broth on the side. Melt in your mouth cha siu and yum soft boiled egg. Small place, counterseats only. Would go back to try soba
Tony Xerri: This is our spot for ramen. Pork buns are bomb buns. The chasu pork is savagely soft. The ramen is superb. Eat here.

Melissa Lonsdale: Short ribs & soba noodles
Cole Kennedy: Enjoyable neighborhood Japanese spot. I liked the pork katsu curry (pictured) and the gyoza, but the chirashi and nabeyaki udon also looked good!
BrooklynMuseum: Staff Pick! Stephanie (Education): Gen has high-quality, fresh sushi at good prices. The patio out back is a lovely spot for dining in the spring and summer. Enjoy the green or red bean ice cream.
