Great ramen for a good price. The heavyset waitress is, shall we say, stern, but overall a great experience. Awesome that it's next door to my wife's office at Baruch College. Will return soon!
Queen TetiaJanuary 12, 2013For takeout they put the noodles and the broth in different dishes. I like that. It's not Minca... But it's good. If you are like me and like spicy, you will add a lot of extra hot pepper flakes.
Justin WilliamsMarch 3, 2014The 'burnt leek' ramen tastes like burnt ashes. Not a good choice. The omelette with spicy cod row was delicious! The takoyaki was ok. The Iciban ramen (house special) was excellent. Good food!!
Bin YangDecember 26, 2013Get the terakawa ramen, it's an interesting take in a tonkotsu broth - lighter but still as flavorful. Good portions too!
Kinjil MathurDecember 15, 2014The vegetable ramen for vegetarians didn't look good so ordered the shoyu with no pork. If you can handle light chicken broth as a vegetarian, it's a delicious alternative!
Ajit VergheseJanuary 13, 2012RS says: try the Mayu Ramen "Darkest & stormiest bowl of ramen in the city, pork broth laced w/ garlic cooked almost to a cinder. Plethora of other ingredients: wood-ear mushrooms & bamboo shoots"
Lunch specials are awesome, particularly the egg bowl & curry. Call in your order between 11:30 and 12.
Brian YamanakaSeptember 16, 2012It's not the ramen hot spot of the moment, but it reminds me the most of eating at your local ramen shop in Japan. Chahan like Mom used to make and shoyu ramen like my old neighborhood shop in Tokyo.
Mingster CJune 7, 2014Tastes like Naruto ramen to me. I ordered the Terakawa ramen. The egg was delish. For the lunch combo, u can add a side dish for $2.
DragondenisJanuary 26, 2013Saturday is $2.50 Sapporo beer day! Comes with a side of edamame and go for the noodle of the month Feb/Mar is Kimchee jigae ramen
glenn goldmanOctober 27, 2014Smooth and complex w chicken / pork broth. Perfectly cooked soft egg. Dressed w ample scallions. So Good!
Must have the Ra-Yu Lime ramen. Bits of tender pork melt in your mouth. Absolutely love the service here. "Thank you dear".
Michael MuseAugust 16, 2014They have some specials that you shouldnt miss. An oxtail ramen and a mammoth bowl known only as "The Whopper"
Ray LinFebruary 6, 2013Try either the Terakawa or Mayu - the pork bone based soup they come in has excellent flavor. Don't be scared of the dark color.
Natalie BergmanJuly 28, 2014The terakawa ramen with a little fried garlic and hot sauce added - delish
NathanFebruary 2, 2015The black garlic oil ramen is bomb, especially with the crispy fried garlic bits in the shaker.
Ruby AnayaDecember 28, 2014The Terekawa Ramen hit the spot. I especially loved the added red ginger! Fast service, cash only.
Irving CoronadoAugust 8, 2014The sho-yu ramen bowl was satisfying. The dumplings side made the perfect pairing. Would eat again.
C LiAugust 18, 2013This place is never mentioned in any food magazines but next to ippudo, this is my favorite ramen in the city.
Donna YoungSeptember 11, 2013Delicious ramen, and the BEST gyoza I've ever had. The wrapper is just gossamer!
Nathaniel LeeMay 2, 2013There's an unadvertised $5 minimum for each person seated at the table, and it's not cumulative so if one person orders $30 of food everyone else still has to order at least $5.
Fred WilsonNovember 20, 2013If you forget that you aren't carrying cash (as I do), there is an ATM in the deli two doors down on the corner of 23rd and Lex
Alan MacDougallDecember 6, 2010The mayu ramen is accented with black garlic oil, giving it a speckled color and roasted flavor. Next best thing to their winter oxtail ramen.
Ethan CAugust 7, 2011authentic and good value. For get waiting in line for ippudou. Ramen here are just as good and cheaper!!
CompassApril 25, 2014Slurp down affordable ramen and dumplings from the oft-hidden Japanese restaurant.
This hidden gem of ramen shop is really good although they skimp on the pork slices. Get the Terakawa Ramen and chahan (Set B). It's a dive and be prepared for rude service.
Brandi LeeApril 3, 2011The mayu ramen and homemade fried garlic are so good that I will come back even though the service was really slow and the cash only policy.
Adela MouNovember 7, 2012Tan tan ramen is my go to. Just the right amount of sesame flavor and spices!
Saturday Sapporo/edamame deal is awesome. Same with Sunday gyoza deal. Get the special ramen for the season while it lasts!
- Terakawa and Mayu are both winners! Nice little spot!
MimiJanuary 3, 2012Food comes out 5 min after placing order, so best to wait for your friend who is running late
u should try the octo-balls and it had the best service evah! :)
George ReligiosoMarch 26, 2010If you like pork, theTerakawa Ramen can be a little heavy. The Shoyu Ramen is just right if you're looking for something lighter.
A game: Every time the hostess (manager?) yells, take a drink!
