- Diandra KusumawardhaniFebruary 1, 2015Oh my goodness. The spicy garlic ramen is top notch! If that ramen was a boy I would marry it because I'm in love with it and don"t mind waking up to it every morning
- Marc SchneebergerMarch 4, 2017Amazing gyozas and very decent ramen!!! Good alternative when totto is packed. It is just next door in the east location.
- Michael MuseAugust 16, 2014Great ramen! Been a few times. They make you specify everything, here's what you should get: plain Tonkotsu (skip the Kumo garlic variant), wavy noodles, medium firmness, rich broth, + a seasoned egg
- TomDecember 13, 2016Delicious pork-broth ramen, good alternative to Totto's chicken base ramen on the ground floor. Half off appetizers during happy hours. They accept all major credit cards unlike Totto.
- Go Find AliceApril 3, 2017Love the ramen! You can pick how solid you like your noodles and if you like then curly or straight. Black garlic is bomb! Order the fried chicken too
- Leo SumulongSeptember 26, 2018If you like variety, this place is for you. Unlike most ramen places, you can choose between wavy and straight noodles with varying levels of firmness. Lots of different toppings & broth choices too.
- MarcNovember 13, 2015TimeOut #9 Ramen: "The best way to taste it is in the ma-yu ramen, There’s also a less sweat-inducing option—chewy chilled noodles, w/a side of soba for dipping—and add-ons like mini pork gyoza"
- Ruby AnayaMarch 9, 2016The Spicy Garlic was 10x more garlic than spicy - flavorful but a bit too intense. The edamame with garlic butter were some of the best edamame I've had. Oh also garlic.
- Noah WeissFebruary 28, 2015The spicy garlic tonkotsu ramen with a poached egg and firm wavy noodles is a top 3 ramen in NYC. Rivals Ippudo in broth tastiness and noodles.
- Shiri LaraFebruary 14, 2017You can choose your noodle type and tendency. Go with wavy! I got firm which is medium and it was perfect.
- Serious EatsMarch 11, 2013Midtown East's best source for ramen. Order the pork toro and the Hakata Kuro ramen, which comes with pureed charred garlic swirled in.
- Dana TedescoDecember 14, 2014Tonkatsu Miso Ramen w/ two free toppings during lunch! But be careful of the crispy fried chipped garlic. I killed everyone on the plane ride home, but it was soooo worth it to keep adding to my soup!
- Emiliano ViscarraSeptember 15, 2017As everyone mention the first things you need to try are: Spicy Garlic Ramen, Garlic Edamame Butter and Fried Chicken. They also have Sapporo on draft which is the perfect combination.
- DinaApril 29, 2014Arguably ramen in NYC, both pork (black garlic is awesome) and surprisingly great veggie ramen. Sister restaurant of Totto Ramen on West side (same menu) but MUCH easier to get in. Great for lunch.
- DinaApril 24, 2014Best ramen in NYC. A sister restaurant (same menu) of the always mobbed Totto Ramen on the West side but MUCH easier to get into. Black garlic ramen is amazing and best vegetarian ramen I've tried.
- The red dragon spicy ramen is wonderful. Sinus problems? Get it. I added an egg and had wavy medium noodles. Also liked the fried chicken appetizer.
- Russell HirschornDecember 13, 2015Top notch spicy pork buns and spicy garlic and miso ramen. Ponzu sauce for gyoza was sour...not good. Happy hour specials are killer.
- SparkieJanuary 16, 2014Thu.–Fri. until 4 a.m.; Sat.–Mon. until 11:30 p.m. Order: Zen-Nose Deluxe ramen, with extra char-siu pork, egg, pollack roe, spinach, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, onions, scallions, and nori seaweed.
- Katharine P.March 28, 2014Spicy Ramen with medium firm noodles really hit the spot. The spicy pork bun was better than regular pork bun. Happy Hour from 4:30pm-6:30pm. Half off drinks and apps. $2 Sapporo draft!
- Try the miso ramen but ask for it with spicy sauce on the side to add more flavor. I really liked the firm straight noodles but you can pick any firmness and noodle type!
- For a spicy kick order the Hakata Spicy Black Ramen - pork broth w/ original black spicy sauce. scallion, kikurage mushroom, cabbage, char siu pork
- Try this Japanese version of a slider for a side: Hide-chan Rice Burger - premium Japanese beef, nira, scallions, BBQ sauce, sesame, between rice buns.
- JT AndradeJuly 30, 2017The summer lunch special will save you a few dollars on the majority of popular ramen dishes. Spicy garlic ramen was very good. The pork was more well done than I usually prefer.
- Eaters HeavenJanuary 30, 2016Definitely the black garlic ramen. Broth is delicious and I normally don't drink the broth, because ramen broth is usually too salty. Go after midnight on Friday and get free extra noodle!
- Abi PanickerJanuary 4, 2016Red Dragon is the way to go, best balance of spice and flavor. Other ramen were either bland or to salty. Don't let the three chiles next to the name on the menu scare you, it's not that spicy.
- Time Out New YorkJune 4, 2013At Hide-Chan, ramen chef Kawahara focuses on tonkotsu (pork) broth—a luscious, meaty soup, more cloudy than creamy. The best way to taste it is in the ma-yu ramen. Read more
- Foxxy BSeptember 20, 2015Great, salty bowl of spicy garlic ramen w/ wavy firm noodles. Simple, fast, no-fuss experience. Will have to try the famous Totto Ramen (which is literally next door) next.
- Bin YangJuly 18, 2015Don't walk into Totto Ramen by accident, this one's upstairs. They're good at tonkotsu broths so skip the rest. Get some mayu (black garlic oil) and crispy gyozas with it too.
- The Corcoran GroupOctober 8, 2010Richly 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.
- Get the Hakata Kuro ramen. It used to be a special at Ippudo, but it's so much better here. Also, go after midnight for free kaedama!
- Maya ShanmugamNovember 28, 2016The spicy garlic ramen is great, no need to worry about garlic breath! Whatever you get, Make sure to choose the wavy noodles for a traditional ramen experience.
- One of the best kept secrets of NY. Sake, banging pork buns, amazing ramen (haven't had one yet I don't like), and Sapporo on draft! Just no ramen take out :0(
- Yejee Arin ChoiNovember 3, 2015Spicy garlic ramen (with poached egg) is highly recommended - it does have a kick to it so don't drink the soup too quickly! Happy hour is also amazing here :)
- Maria GranadosSeptember 1, 2014Do not think twice and definitely come eat here. The spicy garlic Ramen is everything. And do not miss out on the pork basil dumplings they are phenomenal with the vinegar dip.
- Sarah F. ParsonsMarch 6, 2014Love the Spicy Black Ramen, but if yoi don't like Spicy you can take the simple Ramen, also witht he black mushrooms and garlic oil! Also the dumplings are wondeerful
- Rita LDecember 31, 2013Spicy black ramen with medium wavy noodles and rich broth! A bit salty but pretty good! wavy noodles are thicker than the skinny kind they usually put in tonkotsu ramen!
- Nicola SebastianMarch 28, 2015Pork buns are almost or as good as the ones in Ippudo. Garlic ramen is one of the best I've ever tasted. Go for the curly noodles!
- Leah ShenApril 25, 2013The new black spicy ramen was great! I would taste the soup separate from sauce first to see how much sauce you want in the soup instead of mixing all at once. Oh, but they now charge for tea :-(
- Adrian LJune 5, 2014My favorite ramen joint in NYC. Kuro ramen is delicious, as is the hakata spicy ramen. They now have cheese gyoza served with tomato sauce, interesting combo!
- Delicious ramen with a steakhouse-like twist: choose your noodle type and firmness level. Black garlic ramen with medium thin noodles is highly recommended!
- Allyson ChewMarch 18, 2015Very good ramen and quick service. Small but popular place. I will definitely go back to try other items on their menu though- very yummy food with good flavors.
- Marie La RueNovember 6, 2018Delicious, heartwarming ramen bowls in Midtown. Great for single dining, sit at the bar and enjoy.
- SunainaNovember 17, 2014The ramen here is one of the best I've had. It's spicy nd had am the right flavors..can't wait to come back to try some more. The broth is light and not fatty.
- Terence ChanJuly 10, 2015Great service and tasty ramen. I got the spicy garlic with firm wavy noodles as well as a spicy pork bun and fried chicken. 4/5
- SparkieJanuary 20, 2014Order: Zen-Nose Deluxe ramen, with extra char-siu pork, egg, pollack roe, spinach, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, onions, scallions, and nori seaweed.
- David DMay 14, 2014Get the Hakata Tonkatsu Ramen (right), or if you like a good kick, the Hakata Spicy Ramen (left).
