Kamisama Ramen

A little ramen shop on 14th, heaters and small wooden seats, a few manga books to read on your wait. The tonkotsu comes with options for cahshu or chicken, no/with garlic, and no/with pork fat. It's a good savory choice, hot and refreshing, yellow ramen noodles, add a soft-boiled egg for $2 which was seasoned well. The spicy jiro ramen with miso and konbu was disappointing. It'd be better as the tonkatsu broth. The chashu was good, would be better grilled or use a torch to render it a bit. The fried chicken was so-so, oil tasted too old. The tako wasabi was a healthy portion with seaweed and spicy - love the fresh wasabi mixed with fresh octopus. Overall, had better ramen. Service was winding down (we came in close to 2:15p, which is near their break between 3-5pish?), but they left a water carafe on the table and accepted card (they bring a machine to your table).

I’m being generous with the 4 stars. The broth is just lacking in depth and flavor. The bowl is small, which gives it an appearance of being overloaded. The egg is cooked perfectly soft-boiled, but it is an extra $2. The chashu tastes like your bulk-ordered chashu from a chinese wholesaler. Spice level on the Spicy Jiro is maybe a 3-4 out of 10. Surprisingly, the ramen is NOT too salty, compared to many other ramen shops in NYC/JC. Overall, does it taste okay? Yeah. But I wouldn’t come back for it. However, I did see they have a $10 all-you-can-drink pp thing going on daily, with a min $5 purchase on any food item (edamame, etc.). That could be a fun time, if you have friends coming for an after-work vibe. Quiet atmosphere on a Friday evening, about $24 after tax and tip, without add-ons. The base ramen price is $19 for Spicy Jiro, as of August 2025. Server was friendly.

It was our first time here. We ordered spicy jiro ramen with chicken and karaage chicken donburi. The ramen was really good and wholesome. Loved the broth. The donburi was okayish. It was rice with a little cabbage slaw, chillies and fried chicken karaage. Served with miso soup and sauce on the side. Fried chicken was tender and crispy and the cabbage was good too(very small portion). That’s it. Nothing else had any taste. Very one dimensional flavor. Rice was a lot compared to the cabbage. Service was good, cozy small place.

Jiro Ramen is my all time favorite with rice broth, thick noodle and garlic flavor. I usually go to another place for jiro ramen, when i see this new place I was excited to want to try. I had the Spicy Jiro ramen $17 for a good portion, with some toppings , but no egg and some bean sprouts on top. i was expecting a lot more topping that's usually what Jiro ramen is famous for. the broth is not as thick as it supposed to be and not extra fat either which was a little let down. their spicy level is a little high even i like spicy but i think it's to the point is not really enjoyable. noodle does not have the chewy texture feels a bit overcooked. the best part of the whole bowl is the chashu pork, it's very tender and thick. wish they torched a little bit to give a bit burnt and smoky flavor Overall the ramen is ok. it's conveniently located near union square. i would come back for convenience but probably will travel extra for a better option. Service is a bit slow even after 9pm

I had my first Valentine's Day date for the first time here :) I can really say that it was a pleasant and delicious experience 😋 The staff is very friendly and professional. I tried it was the Spicy Jiro Ramen. I loved it ❤️🍜 My partner wanted to order Donburi but unfortunately there wasn't :c (I will definitely come next time to get it) so, He ordered Katsu Don. The portions are very generous and worth it for what it costs 😄 I added a appetizer (Karaage Chicken). I was satisfied and will definitely come back and recommend this gem to my friends :)

After seeing Jiro-style ramen in anime, I could finally try one in NYC. Kamisama Ramen has just opened near Union Square that specializes in jiro ramen. Jiro ramen is well-known for hearty portion with a lot of bean sprouts and vegetables. The broth is more pungent and thicker than regular ramen, as extra garlic and pork fat are added. ＊Spicy Jiro Ramen $17** ＊Tonkotsu Ramen $17 I thought the flavors of jiro ramen would be too aggressive for my liking, but it turned out I enjoyed every slurp of it. The noodles were thicker which held up the broth well. I usually disliked bean sprouts but I devoured them all. They were so delicious with the broth! The pork chashu was smoky and quite tender, while my bf thought it was a little tough for his liking. Highly recommend spicy jiro ramen if you can tolerate spice. I almost drank up the whole broth. I added a soft boiled egg ($2) and it was very worth it. ＊Gyu Donburi $17 ** ＊Mentaiko Fried Rice $17 The gyudon amazed me. Even though I could make gyudon at home, they made it ten times better!! The sliced beef was marinated in a sweet and umami sauce and the rice was mixed with it. Chef’s kiss. Mentaiko didn’t add much flavor, but the fried rice was good to pair with other appetizers. ＊Karaage $10 * ＊Takoyaki $9 The karaage came with spicy mayo and yuzu sauce. The meat was juicy and tasted good with both dips. Takoyaki lived up to my expectation and each piece had a bouncy squid inside. Pro tip: they currently offer 10% off for students.

This new ramen place is a hidden gem that specializes in jiro ramen! the broth is so flavorful and rich and the noodles are the perfect chewy texture. my favorite though had to be the mackerel set; it has such a clean feel to it and the mackerel has such good flavor. we also got the tako wasabi, agedashi tofu and the gyoza. my favorite had to be the gyoza it was so juicy! overall a great place, especially now in the winter as it’ll definitely warm you up

Affordable and large portions!! The pork was so tender and flavorful broths. Another favorite was the tako wasa and agedashi tofu. Recommended to try a bowl of jiro style ramen

The $10 all you can drink beer and/or sake is a must-- only need to spend another $5 on food but the deal is worth it. The ramen itself was swell and I'd get it again in a heartbeat! Sweet service. Cheers!

Hit up this newly opened cozy ramen & izakaya, @kamisamaramen_ny for some killer ramen and chill vibes. The food hit the spot like their signature Spicy, Tonkotsu and Shoyu Jiro Ramen. The broth is rich and creamy filled with the good stuffs. Also available Donburi Rice Bowl with selections like Gyu (Beef) featured here, Karage, Mackerel and Mapo Tofu. As for Appetizers, we ordered Takoyaki (Octopus Balls) and Gyoza. They are all very tasty. This ramen place definitely got the vibe and flavor. A solid pick for your next night out.

Pretty good ramen at fair prices. The ramen was solid with its flavor, I've had better but the portions were good to offset. The service was fine and the restaurant is a nice space. The sneaky recommendation is their agadashi tofu- awesome portion and the key is their tofu pieces are smaller versus 4 big pieces. The sauce had a lot of flavor and was fried perfectly.

A little ramen shop on 14th St. and East Side of the Union Square area, area heaters and small wooden seats mixed with a shelf where they had a few manga books to read on your wait. The tonkotsu comes with options for cahshu or chicken, no/with garlic, and no/with pork fat. It's a good savory choice w/garlic and pork fat, came hot and was refreshing, used the medium wavy yellow ramen noodles, and add a soft-boiled egg for $2 which was seasoned well. The chashu was good, would be better grilled or use a torch to render it a bit. The spicy jiro ramen with miso and konbu was disappointing. It'd be better using the tonkatsu broth, the miso was bland and spiciness lingered. Chasu here or the fried chicken; we chose the fried chicken which was so-so, oil tasted too old. The tako wasabi was a healthy appetizer portion with seaweed and spicy - love the fresh wasabi mixed with fresh octopus. Overall, had better ramen, and was a good tako wasabi. Service was winding down (we came in close to 2:15p, which is near their break between 3-5pish?), and they left a water carafe on the table and accepted credit cards (they bring a machine to your table). Not much interaction with the staff outside of order and paying as they were relaxing between lunch and dinner rush.

Came here for dinner - no reservations required. We were promptly seated and ordered a donburi bowl and fried chicken ramen. The rice bowl was perfectly seasoned and the fried chicken was so crispy. Great service and delicious food!

A pretty decent tonkotsu ramen in the East Village. The noodles are a bit more tangy and hard than normal - which I think could be a good thing. The broth is quite rich although doesn't seem as 'real' as other tonkotsu in the sense that it is a bit too aggressive. The meat is pretty decent though with good tenderness and good amount of fattiness. Overall seems like a pretty good new ramen place, looking forward to try the other broths.

Kamisama Ramen serves up pretty solid ramen. The meat and the broth are the standouts, but the noodles could be a bit better. The karaage appetizer is decent, and service is good.

We walked in on a Friday and sat at the little back bar. We ordered shishito peppers, gyoza, fried chicken thighs and tonkotsu ramen, all fantastic. Add an extra bowl of ramen noodles for $4. $10 warm hot sake was great. Service was excellent.

Just discovered this new gem! I had the spicy ramen. My bowl was filled to the brim with a mountain of bean sprouts and veggies, thick slices of pork (chashu), and thick, chewy noodles that almost overflowed. The hearty broth was rich with flavor and savory. Their rice bowls and side dishes were fantastic as well! I will definitely be back!

I feel so lucky to have a new, delicious Ramen restaurant in my neighborhood. My usual go to is Pork Tonkatsu but I went for the Chicken and Duck broth and was rewarded for deviating. The broth was multilayered and great and the noodles and pork were fantastic. I'm going back for the Pork Tonkatsu and may have to change my review to a 5!

Food was excellent and well-priced. Friendly staff with little wait time. Nice space and friendly environment.

Fried chicken ramen? Crunchy but soft on the souped side and hot spicy broth filled with veggies. Delicious

Oh my gosh this was the best ramen I've ever had. The broth was so rich and the pork was 10/10, not just chunks of fat like so many ramen places. I'm very picky about my ramen and this was absolutely stellar. Perfectly jammy egg, slightly al dente noodles (sorry I only know the Italian word for this haha!) The service was great and the place was clean and had a good vibe. There's another ramen place down the street that had a crazy line/wait. Definitely skip it and come here instead!!

Happened into this new ramen place for lunch, so glad we did! The yasai (vegetable) miso ramen was very good. And I lived in Japan for 3 years. The service was great-gave us extra treats & bottomless tea. It was a chill atmosphere, relaxing & clean. I recommend this place! Domo!
