    Unlike many of the other modern ramen restaurants in NYC, Naruto Ramen truly feels like the real deal. Perhaps my #1 favorite ramen joint in the city, & not just because of the name (huge Naruto fan)

    TOTALLY worth the average 20 mins wait. By far one of my neighborhood favs, coming here as often as once a week. Top picks: Naruto Ramen, Gyoza, Tan Tan ramen and their fantastic Sapporo draught.

    Delicious ramen! I like the miso. It's always busy so put your name on the list and wait for a spot at the bar. They have this sake Jell-O shot in a can that is so odd but so good! Try it!

    Def an authentic ramen experience with bar and open kitchen minus some finer pieces. Spicy miso is great but not spicy. Kimchi ramen was inventive and def spicy. Gyoza were fresh, sauce was lacking.

    Casual, 14 seat spot (counter seating) with $9 bowls of ramen with all the goodies. Get the miso ramen, spicy, and stir in the small block of butter that comes on top. Mm.

    This little ramen joint has been serving up reliably good bowls for the last few years now. The small bar is often crowded. Grab some gyoza and fried rice to start if you are really hungry.

    I've had the naruto, miso, curry and hell's fire kimchi ramen.... Can't go wrong with any of these in but so far my favorite is the Naruto (with some added spices). And the gyoza is a must!

    If you love Ramen, you'll love Naruto. Be cavalier with adding sauces or requesting extras. This ramen is for you, and no one else!

    Best miso ramen in the city. I've been to a lot of spots and Naruto has the best flavor and is always reliable. Slight sweetness and best soft boiled egg.

    Up there for one of the best ramen spots in the city. $4 drafts, cash only, only 14 seats. Put your name on the clipboard waiting list out front when you arrive!

    Awesome food at a great price! Miso ramen was bomb with buttery corn. Soy ramen was ok. Loved the gyoza. Cash only!

    Sick ramen place--traditional Japanese counter style. There's usually a line but it's always more manageable than you think. You can also order take out ahead.

    By far the best ramen I've ever eaten. Ramen + the $4 sapporo for a wonderful and cheap experience. Cash only, be prepared to wait on the weekend.

    I still prefer the Naruto Ramen. You can make any of the ramen spicy, depending on your preference. Get to know Joon, he makes the best creative appetizers - off the menu :-)

    Great spot to eat. Best dumplings in UES. Small hole in the wall & they don't take reservations. So expect to wait about 15+ minutes to be seated.

    #FabuLIST #DubiDONT not worth it. If you need a local neighborhood spot Meijin is better. But for the best Ramen you can’t beat Ichiran in Times Square.

    Sura tanmen - hot & sour soup based ramen - definitely one of the best noodle bowls I've ever had.

    Had the Naruto ramen which is pretty salty with soy sauce, just the way I like it! Great prices for hearty portions

    The curry ramen is really tasty. Paired with gyoza, you will be full for the whole day!

    Try the pork fried rice or Naruto ramen! It's a wee bit salty but very delicious. It gets crowded so go early, but definitely worth the wait

    I would recommend the tan tan men. A big old bowl of noodles and spicy peanut sauce / perfect! Grab a side of gyoza as well

    I absolutely love the Tan-Tan Ramen. Another close favorite is the Tsukemen ramen.

    Not too long of a wait. If you are not a pork person Vege is the way to go. Miso is great. I asked for spicy - it could of been spicier! Service should be faster & clearly they are not organized.

    Tantan Ramen and Tako Yaki are superb. This is one of the best restos on the ues's otherwise soulless, over-priced dining scene.

    Authentic Japanese ramen place hole-in-the-wall seating 14 people on a counter. Love it!

    Pretty tasty ramen in tiny place. Staff was friendly and speedy. Crowd was mostly high schoolers and undergrads, which made it a little noisy when they would shout across the restaurant at each other

    Try the classic Naruto ramen, a basic bowl of the soy sauce-based stuff and wash it down with a generous Sapporo. Read more

    Naruto Ramen broth is delicious. Noodles are cooked on the firmer side if you are into that sort of thing.

    Do not underestimate the serving size; I thought I needed an appetiser but a ramen bowl alone was enough to leave me feeling more than satisfied.
