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 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 :)

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

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.

We stumbled here when we were going to try Kyuramen but then decided to try here instead. I’ve never had Jiro-style ramen but when I looked it up it’s said to be massive and that was definitely true. We tried the takoyaki which were pretty big and super soft. When we got our bowls, they were filled to the brim with a ton of lemongrass which actually went nice with everything. Overall I don’t think it was anything amazing in terms of flavor, but was still a very solid bowl of ramen that I can see myself eating again. It’s also a cute spot with great service, definitely recommend trying!

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

I only had the ramen. The favor was ok, proportionally there were too many noodles, the pork was thick but dry and chewy. The beer flat. Disappointed for sure.
