Naruto Ramen

I ate here today and the food was really good. However, when it came time to pay for our bill this one waitress was really rude. Right after the other waiter came to pick up our plates, the waitress immediately came to us to pay. When we clicked on custom tip, she rudely yelled “you can only tip 25, 20, or 18%” and proceeded to go back to this screen for us. We only wanted to tip 15% because she was being very rude… She then snatched the machine and berated us to make a point that we did not tip her a lot. I also want to make a point that she did not seat or serve us at any point the entire time we were there. Loved the food and the kitchen for making great food but will never come back to this location because of this horrible experience. I recommend going to the other Naruto store locations though but I will definitely NOT be coming back here.

Obviously not bad Ramen, but also nothing crazy special. Reasonable prices and very nice servers. Try it if you’re in the area, but dont travel to have it.

I've been to the restaurant twice & enjoyed it.Food is always amazing & so filling.I miss the outdoor seating,but inside seating was great too even though it's small & narrow.My friends had a great time & it was their first time being there.

The place is small, I wouldn’t recommend it for kids, or large parties, is more of a small party experience. Had to wait to be seated, since the place was packed at 10:30 pm on a Saturday, we the food was worth it! We had the Miso soup, Chicken teriyaki, Cilantro Bomb ramen, gyozas and all of them were amazing. Being the ramen the star of the night. Good portions, fare prices. The seating area is at a bar watching the cookers get your food done. The service was very good, diligent, with quick response. We loved it. Would come back for the ramen.

Ramen is where it’s at obvi! But we went for some appetizers and we weren’t mad about it! Everything was made to order so it came warm and timely. The gyoza I wouldn’t do again but yes to the bun! Ramens were all delicious we got a classic and curry and the broths were full of flavor! There’s a reason for that line! But it moves fast so put your name there and take a walk and it’ll be time to eat!

Despite i had to wait for a half hour while it’s raining, the food is great ! No problem at all and the service is friendly. I wish they were more faster or at least more options but other than that it was an interesting first experience.

It is one of the best ramen options if you are in the neighborhood. Prefer to arrive early as waiting queue might be long. Large groups may have difficulty in seating together as place is very small. Small cozy place, friendly staff. Food is tasty. Highly recommended!

Great spot for a quick bite on a cozy cold day. DELICIOUS! Enjoyed the decor and watching the ramen be made while waiting for our food. The Japanese buns hit the spot as well. They portion the ramen perfectly and the chicken katsu is yummy. Recommend 100%

This is a cute little hidden gem, a small shop and it seems to be always busy. They have a list outside for you to put your name and get called, I went with my friend so we were seated quickly. Inside it's a bar style seating, and of course with the name like Naruto, they had to have pictures of Sufi anime (if you are familiar) alongside other anime posters (Japanese cartoons). They also have hooks for your coats/purses which is super convenient! They have slow music with the lights to medium so it's not super bright but not super low (so probably not the best romantic spot) . The host that greeted us was nice, she showed us our seats in a friendly manner. They have the tangible menus, and pretty easy to follow along, which is nice because I feel like food menus can get overwhelming sometimes. I got the original Naruto ramen and for an extra cost, I added a few more things so you do have that option if you like some ingredients more than others. I did get some chili oil and got charged extra for that which I found weird because every other ramen spot I've been to, usually the spices are there for your convenience at no extra charge, it wasn't a lot more (only $1) but still, I only needed a little bit so I had a little container of chili oil left over lol. For drinks they have Japanese sodas, and coke products as well, as for alcohol, they have beer. The bowl is pretty generous and the ramen is delish, the price is on the higher end but that's in the normal scale for NYC prices. The place is chill and clean, the food is really good and the staff is nice. I really enjoy this place which is why I keep coming back, if you are around this area, I definitely recommend you check out this spot ^_^!

I didn't realize how popular this place was until I read some of these reviews about there always being a line. The ramen was solid but I'm not sure about standing in line. The place is super narrow and had only about 15 seats total. The hostess was very friendly. I ordered the Naruto ramen and made it spicy with chicken not pork. Like I said very solid and I would come back and order the same.

I love this place because I can sit alone and listen to music while enjoying yummy ramen. The broth was so good and the ramen was done so well. WAIT THE EGG. THE EGG ??? I've had many many many jammy eggs in my lifetime but this one ?? Perfect. It was sweet, flavorful, and overwhelmingly comforting. Amazing. Amazing. The waiter was also really nice and I didn't wait extremely long for my meal. Just long enough to know that it was being carefully prepared :)

Nothing like a hot bowl of ramen on a cold Saturday afternoon. Not too crowded at 3pm and my ramen was prepared quickly as I sat at the counter. Been a while since I've been here and the menu has changed a bit, but the offerings are mainly the same.

They charging 17 dollars for a Miso Soup, where they have reduce the size of the portions, the meat is slice thin. It's like cold cuts from a deli. There's no reason to do so for the price.

Naruto has been around for decades so I thought this has to be good. I went for lunch and got the lunch special which is basically a regular dish/ priced ramen bowl and if you add $3 on top you get a app (which is an option of fried rice, gyoza, chicken teriyaki bowl or chicken curry bowl). I opted to get the chicken teriyaki bowl. Honestly so not worth it. It was literally a little bowl of rice with a few pieces of chicken. Could've skipped this. I also ordered the miso ramen. While the ramen is bouncy and cooked well, the toppings were just so lacking. I felt it was just a very minimal cheap portion. I barely got any bamboo shoots. And I opted for chicken instead of pork. And sadly the chicken was quite dry. Overall for $20 lunch meal it was so not worth it. I wouldn't be craving ramen anymore!

Whenever we walked past this place, there was always a lot of people waiting outside of the restaurant. We were craving something warm today again, so we decided to eat some ramen. We didn't have to check in with a host/hostess because all you need to do to put your name down is write your name on the clipboard. We went for dinner on the weekend and the wait only took about 10-15 minutes. We were seated soon afterwards. I got the Tan-tan Ramen and the broth was rich/delicious. The noodles were chewy and they gave a very generous portion. I loved how there was a spicy kick to it because it unlocked all of my tastebuds. The server was very nice and took our orders when we were ready pretty quickly. The ambiance was alright...just a bit cramped because the venue is pretty small. Overall, I give it a 5-star rating because it was honestly a pretty solid & tasty ramen. Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5

This place was very cute and they made the food quickly quickly. The woman behind the counter was so sweet and she gave us free sodas with our meal. The Tonkatsu Ramen was delicious and better than Kiko Ramen. We also got the pork Gyoza and that was very good and we got the crab Rangoon. Everything was delicious and we are happy. I would definitely come back here.

You poor Upper East Siders standing in line to eat at this Naruto don't know that the Upper West Side has a much better Naruto. Yesterday, I got the Cilantro Bomb at this Naruto. Absolutely no taste, I had to send it back. When I got it back, it was ok, but not as bomb as the one on UWS. One time I ate Cilantro Bomb three times in one week on UWS. Do yourself a favor and go to UWS for Cilantro Bomb, tastebuds awakened for life. The Tom Yum Gyoza is pretty good though, lots of flavor. Get the pork one. Also, this place is too small and too crowded.

Naruto Ramen is solid. It's a small space so I'm sure it fills up quick. I went in at 4 on a Thursday so I was fortunate to score a seat at the bar. It's an open kitchen which always puts my mind at ease. While waiting I think I discovered some tips and tricks for Ramen making. I definitely could up my Ramen game. It was very good not the best I've ever had (I've had a lot, not to brag;). Overall good. Good ambience, good ramen at a fair price.

We arrived at the restaurant around 5PM and dinner had just started so we were seated quickly. The waitress quickly took our drinks & orders. The place is small with just a counter bar. Its focuse is on Ramen and a few appetizers, and some entrees. We decided to started with takoyaki. The octopus was tender, the dough was a little mushy but overall good starter. We then got to watch the sous chefs prepare our Ramen with craft from behind the counter. Shortly we were served the hot bowls of Ramen! The noodles had a nice chew, the char siu was balanced with right amount of fat and meat. It was tender with 1/2 of soft boiled soy sauce egg. My broth was spicy Naruto and it was with depth and just right amount of spicy kick. Fair size bowl just enough for one. The bill came out to be around $40 with tax not including tip. For upper Manhattan locations, it is a good place for Ramen.

+.5 for service Pretty good ramen place overall, but given the competition of ramen superiority in NYC I have to knock it down a level. The "Naruto" part of Naruto Ramen is actually the ingredient, however they play a lot of anime theme songs and there are lots of Naruto-themed pictures throughout the restaurant. I had the Miso Ramen, which include a generous serving of noodles, two pieces of chashu, and some butter among other things. For $15 this is definitely one of the more affordable ramen places in Manhattan, and I'd definitely recommend it for a neighbourhood joint. It's not the best ramen I've had, but again good value for what you get here. Service is good. I'd recommend for someone who lives nearby, but for tourists I wouldn't tell them to go out of their way for here.

Ambiance (5/5): Narrow table seating that looks into the kitchen. This is a very classic Japanese ramen shop set-up. Some Japanese background music played in the background. It's small so I understand why there might be waitlist sign-up outside. However, on a Saturday at noon, there was only 1 other person there with me. No issues with noise. Service (5/5): Again since I was one of two, I was serviced quickly and often. Food: Naruto Ramen (3/5): The 2 charsu pieces were a bit small, while tender was not like a fatty marbleized cut. It was good but not amazing. Only half of a seasoned egg. The dish was topping heavy which I enjoyed. The broth was soy-based so it was salty but it lacked the umami that one would enjoy in pork or chicken-based soups. It wasn't savory enough for me! Noodles had a nice chewy bounce (I asked for them more firm). House chili oil was an extra $1 but glad I opted for it. Price was reasonable.

They got good ramen. Staff is friendly. I like the broth a lot. The food is really good and everyone is nice. I feel they have good prices. It's a relaxing spot as well.

I had big hopes for this ramen place given its indoor atmosphere, bustling lines outside on a nightly basis, and menu of dedicated soups. But to be honest, the food fell a bit flat. The soup didn't have much taste even though the ingredients appeared mostly fresh. There was not much tofu inside the soup itself and substitutions were quite tricky when ordering from a few delibery apps like Seamless and Uber. The food was processed quickly which is good- and the hostess was kind for pickup - but many of the ingredients were missing either spices, salt, or all of the above. Would I return? Maybe although its unlikely given the confluence of other options available in the neighborhood.

Solid spot for ramen on UES. No frills, sit at the bar/counter and you get your food very quickly! I got the miso ramen and enjoyed it. My boyfriend got the chicken katsu curry which he also liked. Only not giving 5 stars as the waitress forgot to put in our appetizer order of gyoza and karage. Hopefully would return back and would still want to try these appetizers.

I have been to this ramen shop few times already but I'm assuming they changed their chief or management so ramen and soup base tasted so different now compared to 3-4 years ago. Their soup wasn't cooked with bones for hours like other local shop, I'm assuming it's from a central kitchen and they just buy as wholesale. Doesn't taste good anymore. Their appetizer, fried chicken, was the only tasty item but way too salty. And their service was not the best and not sure why they only check in with the customer toward the end of the dining and they don't offer nor provide any red pepper or fried garlic dressing anymore. Thumb down and do not recommend ppl to try.

Does this shop just give up on life? lol lol lol There are clogs in their curry sauce and the fired chicken tastes sour and bitter I am not sure what's going on

Ordered Mega Naruto Ramen and Vegetable (Miso) Ramen. Standard Japanese ramen in a small, sit-down spot. Many options for sake (glass/bottle) and a couple appetizers. The open kitchen/bar seating gives off Japan hole-in-the wall local ramen shops - felt cozy and snug. Flavor-wise, nothing special but the price was fair and right.

The ramen and dumplings here is amazing I was very satisfied with the food and service! It was definitely worth the trip uptown. I ordered the Hells Kitchen kimchi ramen with the pork gyoza. Both the appetizer and noodles were very tasty and I'm looking forward to visiting again.

This is some of the best ramen I've ever had. Service is great, you can watch them making it in front of you when you sit at the counter, and the atmosphere is cool. You feel like you're in Japan. 10/10 would recommend Naruto ramen.

I have passed by this Ramen shop on the express bus since high school and I've always wanted to try out the ramen here! I've heard really great things about it, and when I saw the waiting list outside my expectations, rose with excitement. We were called in about 20 minutes on a Sunday night so we didn't wait too long. They have indoor and outdoor seating so that certainly helped we were seated inside and when we walked in anime music flooded the shop, which I loved because I'm a dork and know almost all of it. Ambience and atmosphere got a check in my book. Inside is pretty tight since it's a small hole in the wall but the sign outside definitely makes it stand out. The staff was one of the kinder stuff I've come across at restaurants in general, even when the girl next to me spilled all her water on the floor. They were so genuinely sweet! As for the ramen, I ordered the original Naruto ramen and was pleasantly happy with the pork. Sometimes ramen shops will only give you super inedible fatty pieces of pork but I had 2 decent pieces. As for the broth, it was just okay. The flavors didn't exactly punch but it was pretty good. Flavor wise is this spot my favorite? No. But I'd it a great spot in the Upper East Side to grab some ramen for the future winter months ahead oh most definitely. Don't come here expecting a lot as it is a "sit at the bar, eat and go" kind of spot. But waiting for your food while listening to anime music is a whole freaking vibe. On Site -Bathroom in the veryyyy back in the employee area (you may have to ask to go) -Hooks for your Jackets Tips -Wheelchair accessible outside (might be too cramped inside)

I tried the classic NATURO RAMEN that is soy based broth and it was okay, exactly that, not bad not good. I have to admit that I'm not a fan of soy based broth so I missed a pork or chicken broth ramen. I sat down in their outside seated area in the tent but the server kept leaving the door open repetitively so it felt a bit cold. ESPAÑOL: Probé el clásico NARUTO RAMEN que tiene caldo de soja y estaba decente, exactamente eso, ni bueno ni malo. Tengo que admitir que no soy fan de los caldos de soja por lo que eché de menos un ramen con caldo de pollo o cerdo. Me senté en la tienda de fuera pero la camarera dejaba continuamente la puerta abierta por lo que se sentía frío.

If you're looking for some quick noodles to warm you up, I'd stop by here! I came here after going to the Guggenheim and was pleasantly surprised. It's an anime themes ramen restaurant with an anime playlist and different artwork. I didn't take a photo of the inside but it is a narrow space as you're just seated at a bar right in front of the kitchen. However, outdoor seating or takeout is an option too! I prefer watching the process of the cooking as it's quite interesting! The servers are really kind and enthusiastic. Even though it's a face paced eatery, the workers make it look like such a smooth process. I came here on a weekend afternoon and there wasn't much of a wait. As for the food, I ordered the Miso Ramen and Cheesy Pork Gyoza (forgot to take a photo). Starting with the cheesy gyoza, it was steamed and very soft. I thought the cheese was an interesting addition. I was however expecting it to be crunchier but the steamed version is nice too. Didn't leave a single piece of cheese or dumpling behind. Solid 9/10 The ramen itself, I was kind of expecting more. I think the broth could've used just a little more flavor, and the eggs were a bit over cooked than typical ramen eggs. The roast pork pieces were really tender which I liked. The noodles were also still a bit chewy but not too noticeable. The portion size however was great! I definitely was full after just 3/4 of the bowl and I'd come back here and recommend if you're looking for a quick bite (especially in this colder weather).

I have been coming to Naruto Ramen for years! But, it's been awhile since I visited Naruto Ramen and we were craving This is one of my favorite ramen places in NYC. I got the signature Naruto Ramen - Bamboo shoots, fish cake, egg, seaweed and pork chashu It was so delicious! The noodles were perfect and the broth was the best. Really great pork! They have a nice outdoor setup. The indoor seating is a little more limited so more ideal if you are eating alone. There are also cool pictures of Godzilla and Akira.

I got the original Naruto ramen with chicken instead of pork to go. The broth was placed in one container and the remaining noodles and ingredients in another. Everything was well packaged. I also ordered the fried rice since I saw many people get that as well. The ramen broth was good but nothing exceptional. The noodles were all clumped together and it took time to separate them all. The marinated egg was my favorite part of the soup. The fried rice was extremely salty. If I was eating inside the restaurant I would have returned it for sure. Overall I would order again and try a different ramen since it's close to where I live but otherwise I would be interested in trying another ramen place.

This ramen hit the spot! I got the Tan Tan bowl and really enjoyed it. The broth was super good and I feel the portion was perfect. My friends and I shared the Kara-age and Takoyaki. Our server, Toshiya, was amazing! He was friendly and attentive. He recommended the Tan Tan and 3 of us ended up getting it! He also gave us Sake Jelly Shots! I would definitely come back!

We come here monthly. Food quality is always consistent! This time we ordered the regular Naruto versus Mega Naruto- if you're really hungry, the Mega Naruto is worth the extra $5. There's more toppings and sautéed vegetables so will definitely fill you up. Service is quick and courteous as always.

We got the ton ton ramen and cold ramen. Good potions and very filling. The ton ton ramen was a bit spicy. The cold ramen was delicious with a great cold sauce to add to it. It has chicken, vegetables including corn and cucumber. Service was good and we walked in on a Tuesday evening without any reservations and were right away. There's an outdoor dining option as well, which we enjoyed.

It was hard trying to find a decent ramen spot on UES. I really loved this place, it's affordable for UES and flavorful.

NYC Ramen has this predicament of either being really authentic and spot on with ramen made craftfully, or being not so authentic and tasting more like Chinese noodles/broth. This was unfortunately the latter. NARUTO RAMEN After growing up having eaten tons of Chinese soup noodles and then being a ramen/Japanese food lover i can taste the difference between them which may not be as easy for those where both cultures are equally foreign. Let me just say that it the broth and chashiu pork tasted very -Chinese-. The pork reminded me of the cold Chinese bbq meats and not the tender, fatty chashiu of Japanese ramen. The broth had a meaty flavor but was lacking in depth and reminds me of Chinese beef pulled noodle broth, that sort of brown translucent quality. The noodles were chewy and nice, though but nothing extraordinary TOM YUM RAMEN this was def better, and interesting fusion dish, fresh veggies - def the better choice. Hearty, warm sour and salty Tom yum broth. If I were to return def would get this or try their birria ramen (limited) but again these are interesting fusion dishes rather than amazing Japanese ramen. GYOZA Just around the same fast and quality as your typical sushi spot's gyoza With other great options like tonchin, Momosan, minca and now marufuku it's hard to see myself coming back to this spot unfortunately. Maybe in some time and the restaurant has improved!

The worst. Ordered pickup and it was ice cold, like they pulled from the refrigerator and couldn't be bothered to warm it up. The lines out front are bewildering.

I always make a trip to Naruto Ramen for their delicious food. My favorite is their Naruto ramen. Their service is fast. Space is limited but personally I don't mind. It would be difficult to come here with large parties, but ideal for dinner for two or even solo.

Service was great and the staff was wonderful. The outdoor set up for dining was very quaint and lovely. We ordered the Naruto Ramen and Hell's Fire Ramen. We also ordered the Black Edamame and Echigo Flying IPA. The ramen was not bad, but nothing too memorable. The beer was great and it came with an aluminum cup which was nice for keeping it cold. The biggest issue we had was with the edamame. On the menu, it mentioned the edamame was made with black soy beans. We thought, "Okay, this is something new. Let's try it." We get the edamame and it was green. Regular. Normal. For $5. When the check came, it also said Black Edamame on the receipt. We felt slighted to say the least by this false advertisement.

We ordered for pickup through Yelp and they were done prepping our food pretty much on the DOT for their predicted time. HERE IS THE IMAGE: I was very hungry. I was craving ramen. I wanted to get Naruto because we hadn't ordered from them in awhile. And so I did. I usually go for the classic ramen, but I decided to try their chicken cutlet curry ramen. I was excited about the thicker, more flavorful soup that I was imagining in my head. Unfortunately, and I don't even know HOW this is possible given that it is a curry ramen, the broth tasted like mildly spiced warm water. Usually the broth kind of informs the noodles, so if the broth has a good flavor, it'll seep into the noodles and just make everything taste better. But because the broth was not great, the noodles also didn't have the flavor I was looking for. They were a bit rubbery and unappetizing as a whole. The one saving grace of this bowl of soup was the chicken. Even though they were slightly soggy from the trip home, they tasted great. But after I finished all of the chicken, there was nothing left to make the soup/noodles taste good, so I ended up throwing out the rest. The naruto ramen wasn't as flavorful as we were used to and the meat included was on the harder side. My mom ordered the veggie shoyu ramen and appreciated the spinach noodles but wanted more vegetables included inside. Everything was just on the bland side; there's definitely better ramen in the city to try.

Nice quaint little ramen spot. Super tasty developed brotha, pork a little on the dry side and egg a little over cooked, but tasty none the less. Ordered the Naruto Ramen, Tom Yum Gyoza and Chicken curry ramen with snowman sake to drink. Disclaimer, snowman sake is served cold, didn't know that haha. Either way, their developed broth and flavors are so tasty and overcome the dry pork. Definitely recommend if I'm this side of Manhattan.

I would say the food is not bad but definitely average-tasting. It's definitely not the best ramen I've had. They have an outdoor seating area, which was nice to sit at during the day. Service here was good, no complaints there. I ordered the Tan Tan Ramen. The noodle texture was good and the toppings were yummy. I think the broth wasn't salty enough. It looks a lot more flavorful than it was. It's quite spicy actually, which I enjoyed. I also ordered takoyaki, which I wouldn't recommend since I didn't like very much.

I loved this spot for ramen with the family. It was so worth the wait to get seated. The food was amazing! I got the Spicy Naruto Bowl (with vegetable broth). The noodles were cooked to perfection as was everything else in the bowl. The broth wasn't as salty as you would expect from your average ramen. If you can't eat pork like me you can substitute the broth with their vegetable broth and it was the best substitute. The employees were so lively and so was the restaurant. So many anime references, such as One piece, Attack on Titan, Demon Slayer and many more! They made the ramen in front of us fresh! (If you go to the one on 89th and 3rd).

I liked their shishito pepper. It's like an izakaya setting where you sit around the kitchen which is cool to watch, but a little tight in terms of space. Friendly and attentive staff.

It was hot outside (we're in August lol) but my dad was visiting and really wanted Ramen - so did my daughter. By majority we ended up going here (I wanted a classic brunch lol!) We waited a few minutes til they opened at noon to eat. The food was super fresh and delicious. We were also the first ones in. I had the miso ramen - so good and huge size bowl. In the past, I've had their fried rice which was amazing too! I also love that they have other options on the menu besides ramen that are equally delicious and with that, many customizable add-ons. Ambience: Clean, kind of tiny and narrow but, an experience. They cook right in front of you. Cooks wear masks. The bathroom was available - it's at the very back and it kind of had a weird smell (my only critique-get a deodorizer - small yet huge difference in public bathrooms) all in all, it's available in case of emergency!

*This is a review for their delivery order* My boyfriend ordered a Tonkotsu ramen for lunch for himself and there was a BOGO deal on Uber eats so he shared the other one with me. The delivery was nicely packed and the broth was separated from the ramen and the toppings. However, they gave way too little broth. When I put the noodle in, the broth could barely cover the noodle. The noodle was slightly overcooked and got too soft. The broth was salty and didn't have much flavor other than the flavor from msg. Some part of the chashu was also very hard and dry. I will not order from here again.

Quick service, good ramen if you are in need of a fix! Small space with bar seating available.

Not bad! Ive always seen a lot of people outside and wanted to try it out myself, but the ramen was fine!

This is the cheapest ramen I had for quiet a while. Potion is huge and it is inexpensive compare to others I encounter. The spicy pepper is quite good. Noodle is fair with lots of cabbage and bean sprout. It is a very different kind of experience

All the dishes are very yummy. Everything is fresh and always has so much flavor. The place can get a little crowded at times but that's only because it's very popular. They are fast though. The place is good for a chat with your friend and could be romantic, it's just that it's a little crowed so you won't get that much time to yourself's. It's also not that good for strollers. (Very compacted). They also have indoor and outdoor seating and a bar.

Fantastic, authentic ramen shop. As good as any you'd get in Tokyo. If you're looking for the ramen counter experience, this UES gem is perfect.

Went here on the suggestion of a girl I met. They have many locations but this spot was most convenient. This is a chain of sorts as they have many shops in the city. There's an outdoor, inclosed stall with fans. Adding extra seating from the traditional bar style seating indoors (which wouldn't go well for big parties). I ordered the sparkling jelly shot sake- yuzu. This drink was compact. I've never had anything like it before. It had jelly yuzu giving boba jelly vibes. Very delish. Then looking at the food, I chose the chicken katsu curry ramen. A new for me. And looking at the rest of the menu I didn't see any pork broth. So keep that in mind and walk in with an open mind of the selection. Wish I asked if this was for sure an homage to Naruto (anime). His favorite ramen is miso based which makes sense to the menu selections. The chicken was flavorful and not a bit dry (something I always pay attention to with any chicken, especially the breast). Even in the broth, the crispness was still there for a satisfying crunch. I could do without the corn but it didn't bother me much. It is the ingredient you'd find on a Japanese curry platter made into ramen (it's the wavy noodle ramen too). The whole dish wash balanced in flavor. Staff was very pleasant and even goes out their way running when people forget their to-go orders. Kudos for going the extra mile. I see you!! Restroom is in the back where the kitchen is which is awkward but I mean, what else can you do as a shop if that's all you have available, right? At the end I enjoyed my selections and if anyone with an appetite goes, at least with the cooks I had, should be a good trip.

Very small place but cozy. Service was amazing. I got the buns with pork and the Naruto ramen . Both was tasty especially the buns was amazing but the ramen was just ok.

**Food Poisoning** I wanted to like this place since it's close to my job and the prices are decent...but I went yesterday got absolutely, without question for food poisoning from here. I had the Naruto Ramen and the $3 gyoza lunch special. Not sure if the food sanitation isn't up to par, but the gyoza sitting in a plastic rubbermaid tub uncovered on the counter should have been an indicator. I was sick about 1.5 hours after and all night long into this morning. Won't be returning, obviously. Hope they fix their food safety practices.
