"During lunchtime, this Chinatown restaurant can get packed. But once you get a whiff of miso in the air and taste the steamed shrimp shumai and ramen, you’ll know it’s worth the wait. Most things on the menu are under $15, and you’ll be thinking about the spicy miso ramen through dinner time. With curly noodles, heaps of cabbage, fried burdock root, onion, and chashu swimming in the bowl, the only thing that’ll hold you back is deciding whether to use your spoon or chopsticks for the first bite." - candis mclean

"One of our favorite dishes at this Chinatown restaurant is the Megumi spicy miso ramen.

"Betsy Lee-Fong recommends this spot for authentic Japanese cuisine, in particular the Out of Control Roll and the miso ramen. You also can’t go wrong with the bubble tea and fruit smoothies, she says." - Diana Lu

This was some of the best ramen I’ve ever had! The portion was fantastic for what you pay, and everything tasted amazing. It was one of the few vegetarian items on the menu, and make sure to ask if something is vegetarian before ordering as there were a few things we thought were and confirmed had some sort of meat product in it.

Have been here several times and everytime the experience is very good. All the meals I've had have been very flavorful and very well presented. The service is top notch. Do not be afraid to try this restaurant.

I like Megumi for two reasons: decent food and shorter wait times. It's not as buzzy inside as some of the other ramen shops in Chinatown or the city in general, but the food is still tasty, the interior has nostalgic anime posters, and you're not waiting forever for a table. My friends love the spicy broth! It's meaty, hearty, and like a hug from the inside without sticking to you-- like a good ramen should! Their other apps and dishers are okay, but I recommend getting the ramen. Didn't love the yaki udon the one time I Got it. The noodles were way too soft.

This was my third stop trying to find a place to eat last night and it was so worth it, the ramen was the best I’ve had since moving to the city 2 years ago. The sushi was amazing, especially the volcano roll. My husband tried a milk tea that we both loved. I would recommend this place to everyone if I could, it also wasn’t super busy on a Saturday and considering we went to 2 different restaurants before this that was nice. It wasn’t as loud as a lot of restaurants ether. 10/10 best ramen and sushi spot.

Came here for a Saturday dinner, and the place was quite crowded. The inside is very cool if you are into anime/Japanese culture, as there are a ton of anime decorations. I ordered the Crazy Salmon and Snow Mountain maki rolls, the tonkotsu ramen, and the daily special, which was a roast pork don. Tbh, the sushi and ramen were just okay, but the reason I'm rating a five is solely for the roast pork don because I'm still thinking about it two years later. Unfortunately, I was only visiting Philly for the weekend, but if I ever come back, that's the first thing I'm ordering (though, I don't know if it ever made it onto the main menu or will reappear as a special). The pork was extremely tender, flavorful, and juicy. The price was also so cheap for the amount that I got.

Honestly, it's not a bad spot for a quick bite. The miso ramen broth is a bit on the salty side, so watch out for that, but the chashu pork and noodles have a great texture and bite. I'm not super enthused about the cabbage and bean sprouts because it made slurping the noodles a bit tedious, but that's a personal preference. I'd have loved it more if they still had the burdock roots for the textural component still. I'll come back and try their other options.

First time here a couple of nights ago and we had a great experience. I ordered the Godzilla roll which was phenomenal and definitely my favorite part of the dinner. I also ordered the chicken teriyaki dish. The sauce was delicious, however, I found the chicken to be a bit fatty. Everything else ordered was great. The staff were friendly and attentive, and our food was served hot and quick. The Godzilla roll is addicting, I will definitely be returning here and recommending this place to friends and family!
