    There's a lot to choose from on the menu - I like the Ajisen Ramen the most. The toppings are yummy, and I'm super into the type of noodles they use too. Also, the folks working here are fantastic!

    Excellent, flavorful broth with great toppings. The ramen noodles, however, compare to box spaghetti and leave something to be desired.

    This ain't no top ramen! I had the eel ramen and was very pleased. Best ramen I've had in years.

    Ajisen ramen with extra pork belly. You can ask for the deluxe in spicy. Ask for no cabbage 'cause they will fill your ramen with it otherwise.

    For a first timer, try the agedashi tofu appetizer and get the ajisen ramen; it's all delicious!

    Probably the best ramen noodles I've tasted yet. If you're a pork lover, make sure to choose the Ajisen Deluxe Ramen dish.

    The spicy Ajisen Ramen is really good! I also recommend the chicken teriyaki ramen.

    Best Ramen chain around. Discovered it in Singapore, very pleased to find it in NY!

    Solid taste - satisfies the craving. Plenty of noodles so you don't have to order extra.

    Office ordered lunch here I had the spicy Romen with pork and it hit the spot of a cold NY winter.

    Tried the ramen here twice. Disappointed each time. There won't be a third time. Broth tastes nothing like ramen. Friendly and polite staff though.

    Broth is pretty mediocre compared to other specialty ramen places but the Ajisen Deluxe gets you a huge amount of delicious pork

    Spicy ramen is dope - avoid the veggie ingredients because they overload it with them.

    Authentic Japanese noodle house. Also serves sushi, but stick to the ramen.

    The broth is too watery, the noodles aren't that memorable, and it's not particularly hot when served. Am I missing why it's so popular?

    Stick with the ramen. #1 or #10 are the way to go.

    Ramen is just ok, but I guess it's an acceptable option for a quick lunch in a quiet environment on any given workday.

    Had the beef ramen and was not impressed with the meat. It was fatty. The broth and noodles however were awesome.

    Not my favorite ramen spot, but grab the miso with corn or the 'deluxe' if youre there

    Pleasant service can't make up for the spaghetti-like noodles. I wouldn't come here again -- I'd rather walk the twelve blocks to Tabata!

    It's a step above Cup of Noodles. The meat is too fatty and it's loaded with MSG. The waitress was really sweet and personable. Don't go for the food.
