Misoya

Really good ramen. The broth has a nice rich aroma. The lunch menu special is a great option. Where you can choose your options. The karage chicken is absolutely delicious, it has a nice crispy crunch but is super moist and juicy on the inside. The Place is really nice.

Place is ok, is very small so there is limited sitting. The food in the other hand was great and the Chicken curry Ramen was delicious. At their 2nd Ave location unfortunately we found a roach behind a friend. As unfortunate as that sound personal didn’t seem to care about it. I was not expecting anything for free but at least some consideration. After this, we felt rushed out and we didn’t really like that.

Lots of vegetarian options here! Very yummy miso broths (recommend the white miso). Came on a Saturday around noon and had no wait. Will definitely come again

A hidden gem for good ramen with reasonable price. Different kinds of miso-based soup. 🍜❤️❤️The Mame ramen I got was more on the salty side. The soup was really flavorful with deep tastes and layers. Chashu was good, tempura shrimp was good too. Kome ramen was more on the sweet side which is a classic Hokkaido style with butter taste and corn as topping. This one is slightly lighter.

Decent ramen. I should've gotten something with more flavor tho, like the chicken katsu curry ramen. the shio broth is a bit too light for me. We had a whole fiasco fighting for the bill and ended up causing a bit of a scene. Luckily, we ended up paying for our friend - we were the ones taking him out anyway. All's well that ends well.

Best ramen ever, extremely hot broth and very nice and quick service tons of different ramen options as well highly recommend

We stopped in on a rainy day today after exploring the city. I had the shio tonkatsu ramen and my partner the red ramen (#12). It was served quickly and we were very satisfied. The miso style broth was flavorful and delicious. It was really my favorite ramen broth I’ve had, truly a great balance of flavors. The minced pork was savory and tender, it paired well. It was a generous portion of toppings and noodles. The woman working was friendly and talked with us about the various miso in detail! She also informed us of the special-pairing a bowl of ramen with sides. It was a generous deal but we are traveling and wouldn’t be able to eat all of it. We couldn’t have asked for anything better on a dreary day. I would dare to say that this locale is underrated. They are not complicating things-just serving good bowls of ramen, and quickly !✌️

Great place for ramen. Been coming here for the last 7 years. Always good.

I'm not sure if they were short staffed or busy but when we entered, no one was there to welcome us. My friend had to go all the way to the kitchen to look for the staff and get us a table. Anyway, food was great! Me and my friends ordered the same ramen. We enjoyed it with a glass of sake. I like the vibe of the restaurant. It's simple and cozy.

The interior hasn't changed but the menu is drastically different since the last time I came here. I think it's great because it now caters to vegetarian, vegan, and pescatarian dietary restrictions. So there's something for everyone! Which is rare at a ramen restaurant. Unfortunately I don't think the soup I got was very flavorful so I didn't love it here. But! I ordered barley/soy miso broth and not the pork broth, which could be much better. The taste was flat and there was no depth, the noodles weren't standout, but I did enjoy the toppings. The waiter also was very responsive to changing the toppings the ramen originally came with so I appreciated that.

My friends and I came here around 1:30pm during MLK, made a reservation ahead because it's a holiday and the place is kind of small. Casual ramen spot and price is reasonable given the portion size and flavor. They have lunch special from 12-4:30 everyday? I personally prefer the regular menu as it has char siu without additional charge (the lunch special comes with karaage and rice but additional charge for char siu). The soup is flavorful and warming and the char siu is cooked just right. The noodle is al dente egg noodles. Generous amount of veggies. Overall, solid quality of ramen.

I had a very good bowl of spicy tan tan miso ramen, one of the specials. My friends also enjoyed their meals. Service is efficient, but felt a little overstretched, even for this tiny establishment. My ramen bowl initially came without a poached egg, but the server corrected the mistake after I brought it to her attention. The space is simple but comfortable enough. I would go with up to 4 people in a group, but no larger. Prices are reasonable for what you get.

Honestly was not blown away. The food was fine and the temperature was perfect but the broth did not have as much flavor as I prefer. I've had much better in nyc.

Had the chashu ramen with fried tofu and it definitely hit the spot. The place was pretty crowded when my friend and I got there but we didn't have to wait too long to get seated.

Came for an early Friday dinner and didn't need to wait in line! Something I really appreciate in NYC. Many options here!!! The noodle I got was delicious. Not too spicy and flavorful. My friends did say, the portion size wasn't big enough for them bc the only protein source in their orders was the minced pork. So if you do eat a lot, may need to add extra side. Overall, I think it's good! But won't say it was the best ramen I have ever had. still is a spot that I want to come back to.

This place was conveniently located in Saint Marks. I was seated right away and was super excited to try the food. The staff was friendly but there is limited seating. 1. Kara-age (6/10): This was good but it didn't have much flavor. 2. KOME MISO (6/10): The flavor was good but it felt greasy. I was not able to drink the soup and the noodles were a little too soft. This place was convenient but I would not go out of my way to return to it.

My husband and I decided to have a nice hefty bowl of Ramen before taking on the city during St. Patrick's Day. We've never been to this location before! The restaurant has a few tables outside and the inside is cute, stylish, and quaint. A perfect local New York City ramen shop. There are interesting decorations, and fun facts on the wall that explain the beauty and the benefits of Miso. I thought that was so interesting. Besides the decor, when you walk in, you are instantly hit with the delicious smells. The aroma in the air is so comforting. We were greeted instantly by a friendly face. She asked us to sit anywhere we'd like. The menu has many options, but not too many which I think is perfect. What really caught my eye was the different style ramen based on locations in Japan! I had the Nagoya style and my husband has the Hokkaido style. The flavor was so rich with just the right amount of miso, salt, and spices. The pork and the shrimp were cooked to perfection. This soup was a serious flavor bomb. We also ordered. Karaage as an appetizer. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft and moist on the inside. We are definitely going to make this our regular spot. If you are looking for a delicious Ramen shop, whether you are a local or visiting, I definitely recommend this place. You will not be disappointed!

Consistently excellent vegetarian ramen. Great vegetarian and vegan options for appetizers. The service is prompt. Great place for ramen in any season. We've been coming for many years.

This place is small and dingy. If you would like your food microwaved this is your spot. I did not see one chef in the kitchen and I heard a microwave beep. I ordered the lunch special ramen and it arrived quickly and was incredibly salty I almost gagged. TLDR; Probably the worst ramen I've ever had, very disappointed. The service was great but what's the point if the food isn't good.

I tasted the Kome Miso Cha-Shu Ramen. It was aright, the broth was alright as well - not greasy, and not exceptionally amazing. The ingredients were fresh and tasty, portion was alright. But, the chicken Karaage impressed me. It was crunchy, fresh, and delicious. Definitely a must get it! This place's ambiance is great, its lighting not too dark not too bright. The place might be a bit tight but its what isn't in Manhattan? Lol Anyways, I'll come back again to this place in the future. Everything was great : )

First time having ramen, and I am amazed! So delicious. Huge portions. Fresh ingredients. Prompt service. And the prices just can't be beat! Even my leftovers were excellent. Highest recommendation!

I was disappointed by the food and service here Food: I ordered the chicken katsu ramen and it was not good. The chicken was too hard to eat and there was not enough broth! It was mostly noodles and the egg was just boiled. I left still craving ramen Service: despite having so many open tables they did not let us sit until our entire party arrived. Also they really rushed us in and out Price: prices are reasonable Ambience: dark and dingy, I was not a fan

Stopped in because they showed up on one of those New York ramen lists - Eater? Thrillest? Can't remember off the top of my head. But I was curious to try the ramen that was featured - Parmesan cheese and butter ramen. Truthfully I had high expectations going in because I myself love cheese and butter, and the concept of combining cheese and butter to an Asian palette seemed delicious! I love both of those things! We came in and I got the Parmesan cheese and butter ramen and added fried tofu and made it spicy. When I got it, I tried the ramen broth by itself without mixing all of the components in (which was just a normal miso ramen base the same as all the other options on the menu). It was very okay - not good, not bad, and not much different than what I can make at home. I was very disappointed. After mixing the butter (melting the butter) and the Parmesan cheese it definitely got a lot better! Relative to what it was before, that is. Overall, I think what made it good was definitely the butter and cheese, but now I wonder if all the other dishes without butter and cheese are just as disappointing. The egg and everything else was good! But the broth was whatever to me without the butter and cheese. Service was okay, not bad, not good - just like the soup. This was place was very meh for me. I'm glad I tried it but wouldn't come again.

Decided to try here on a whim one Friday evening and it did not disappoint. The restaurant is relatively small with decent seating as soon as you walk in. I ordered the Vegetarian Kimchi Ramen, and a Sapporo. The meal came out in under fifteen minutes, definitely not a long wait at all. The ramen was delicious, and had a very rich broth. The portion was huge too. I will definitely be back!

I came here on a Wednesday night for dinner with some friends. Note: they will not seat you unless your full party is there! The place itself is not that big and is dark and moody - I liked how intimate it was. I got the mugi-miso ramen and it was super yummy! I think the portion was perfect and the fish cakes were tasty. I would definitely come back again.

Came here on a tuesday night so it was pretty empty and service was fast! What I had: -Kome miso spicy ramen ($15) -Black pepper tuna ($11) -Large sake ($9)

Ramen is delicious and the variety is abundant. As a vegetarian, I felt like I was in ramen heaven. From the plethora of options, I ordered Shiro Miso Spicy Ramen and it was soooo good! The flavor and portions were on point. My belly was happy. Ambiance - not the greatest. And service also was ok. We were a big group of 7 girls so I understand we got some heat for it probably. Overall, a great vegetarian ramen place.

Such a cute little spot for miso ramen. The staff were friendly and quick to serve. I love how rich the broth is, I would come back to try the spicy miso ramen.

I've been here probably 50 times at this point. One of my long time favorites, Misoya is the kind of restaurant I immensely respect, which dedicates itself to showcasing one particular ingredient or product. Before I ate here I don't think I really understood the depth of what miso is as an ingredient. The menu here is slightly confusing to some people. It is split into 3 sections: Kome, Shiro, and Mame. These are each different kinds of miso. As far as I know, generally Kome miso is made with soybeans and rice, shiro is rice, soybeans and barely, and mame is only soybean. Each of these misos has a different flavor when added to the broth at Misoya, and is paired with a set of toppings to compliment it. Having tried all three, I personally find the shiro miso to be the best balance of flavor, while Kome is a bit sweeter. Don't be off put by the description on the menu that says mame has a "bitter finish," it has a deep and rich flavor unlike the other two. Misoya adds abundant toppings to every bowl and the noodles are the kind I love, thick and chewy. The little blocks of fried tofu in the shiro miso ramen soak up the spicy broth in a really pleasant way. I specifically like that they offer an additional topping of butter and cheese which I often get. It sounds weird to some people, but it just adds further richness and creaminess to the broth, resulting in a thick soup that clings to the noodles. The Parmesan compliments the miso so well, it is really a great combo. There have been some post-Covid changes, as can be expected. The portions are a bit smaller. The broth maybe has slightly less depth, perhaps less miso is being used than before. Most disappointingly, the egg is no longer marinated and instead is just a plain egg, although it was still cooked perfectly. I can not fault them for these changes and I hope they are able to come back from this difficult time. I am so thankful they are still open. Losing this place would truly be a shame.

I've been coming to Misoya for years and It's always been great, but lately there's been a decline in quality? The ramen is still good but it's just not as good as before. anyway it's still worth the price considering you get a lot for what you pay for. Try the spicy miso ramen!

This spot has been one of my favorite Ramen restaurants since high school (9+ years) and I'm so happy I stumbled upon it. The ambiance is great! They break down ramen in different areas of Japan and explain the difference between each and the history. I got the Kome Miso Cha-Shu Ramen and it was delicious! The variety of vegetables with the half boiled egg and cha-shu helped to tie it all in as a great choice on a cold day In NY. I like to add spice to my ramen so sometimes I'll get the spicy version and just add Cha-shu. The Shiro Miso version is another good option if you prefer white miso and a little less salt. The servers have always been kind and quick with my order. Whenever I miss Japan, I always think of this place and it helps me to remember the good times I had on my trips there. Thank you to everyone at Ramen Misoya!

I went here with my friends. We just wanted to eat where it's not super crowded. Luckily, we came across this place. I order the miso Ramen. I was able to finish the ramen but could not finish the broth. I was super full. I like the broth itself since it's less salty and mildly sweet. I like the ambiance in the restaurant. I would like to come back again if I'm ever around in St. Marks street.

This spot serves delicious food, great ambience and music, good service and respectable prices. The only issue is that it is not all that spacious so you feel very intimate sitting close to other patrons. Even so, I go often as I can. Highly recommended.

It has been over a year since I had ramen at Ramen Misoya. I ordered from their Lunch Specials, which is available everyday from 12 pm to 3:30 pm. The Lunch Specials appear new because I don't recall seeing this menu in the past. I ordered the KOME Miso Ramen SET. The ramen itself normally cost $12 (#2 in KOME MISO). By ordering the lunch special, I was able to pick the KOME Miso Ramen and a side for $13. There were three options for the side Gyoza & White Rice (Not available on weekend or holidays), Chicken Karage & White Rice and Mixed Green Salad. I decided to order the Chicken Karage and White Rice. The KOME MISO Ramen set with the Chicken Karage & White Rice was filling. The broth from the ramen was perfect temperature. The Chicken Karage was delicious. Overall, a great lunch. I hope they add the KOME MISO Cha-Shu Ramen to the Lunch Special set in the future. That is my favorite ramen.

Incredibly friendly service. Solid solid ramen. There's not much outdoor seating here but the waitress here was working really hard to accommodate those who were requesting seating outside. We opted to sit indoors, which was a small-ish space, but luckily we got a spot slightly more isolated. Ramen Misoya is a chain, I believe, as I had been to a similar location in Chicago when I lived there. However, to call it a chain would be a disservice because I think this location is amazing! I tried the curry ramen, which is recommended for those of us who can't decide between Japanese curry and ramen! The noodles they used had a perfectly "q" (chewy) texture. The broth was delicious. There were massive pieces of chicken. Overall, was so pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food and the incredible service here!

TLDR: 3.5/5 (bc I can't give half stars) This was a nice little whole in the wall. Quite literally because I did not see it when we walked by it in. We got there around 6:45. I'd say by the time we left there was a line out the door and at least a 45 minute wait (from what I heard). The place is quite small and people were taking their time so I'd account either being a little before the dinner rush or embrace the wait. Side note it was kind of dark in there. And not in a it had nice dark ambiance but it was just dark dark. Service: 4/5 Service was mid. They were nice but didn't really check in which would've been fine but I was yearning for more water. Food: 4/5 For value?? Pretty good ramen for $13. Probably by far the cheapest ramen I've had. I got the vegan miso ramen but a lot of the prices faired between 12-16 which again is very good. Presentation was mid and the flavors were just okay. I'd probably go back if I wasn't sure where else to go in the area.

After tasting so many ramens at so many different ramen places in NYC. Russ his is so far the best spot for real Ramen noodles. Period! P.S. Not only noodles are good. all good Cooked here is much much much better that at any other ramen places!!! My favorite food here, of course besides ramen, is their super delicious fried chicken!!! OMG this is so delicious!!!

Cold Friday evening, was thankful to get a spot at this cozy ramen joint. Only one lady working the tables, but was seated immediately (after checking cards) and given menus. Really wanted to try both the ramen and the karaage, so decided on the Kome Misu Chashu Ramen w/karaage as an extra topping ($18ish). Huge bowl with sliced pork, egg, the aforementioned karaage, and corn jutting out of the noodles and broth. The chicken is cooked really well and lets itself nicely to the fatty broth. Pork isn't too bad either, with more ground pork in the bowl if you finish the sliced version early. Noodles could have been cooked a little bit more, but if you let it sit in the bowl for a while it comes out just right. Food comes out quickly despite there being only one server. Plenty of options for vegetarians as well if stopping by (just make sure there's no shrimp/fish toppings).

Ok, nothing special. Nice atmosphere At best, the food is average. Service is nice. Overall, just ok

I think the tonkatsu was the wrong move. Probs should have ordered the miso - we all found it kinda flat and bland. Needed a pickle or something to brighten the flavor. Portion was massive, not a huge fan of the noodles. They were kinda overcooked. I really wanted to like them because they are so cute and mom and pop, but I didn't. Vegan one apparently was very meh and wish they included a protein option. Would probably give it one more shot for the miso but there are so many other better spots in nyc that I may not.

My cousin recommend this place. He said the the soup noodle are really good. He been here so many many time with the family he order the same dish every time. (#5). The bowl is big. The staff are nice and friendly. The place is really small.

honestly i would go as far to say this is the best ramen in manhattan. so so delicious! It's really affordable and to make it better they have multiple vegetarian options! i get the kome miso ramen and it hits every time! highly recommend.

One of my favorite ramen spots! Best spicy miso ramen and chicken karage on the side.

Very unique Ramen. They literally have so much textures and depth. There was pork chashu, corn, grounded pork, beansprouts, bamboo, fried potato (never seen that before), and added kimchi for some extra oomph. They have various miso bases. I went with the light more traditional base. Overall great flavors and definitely satisfied my ramen urge. They also have a grapefruit wine that is very delightful.

Honestly great place for unique ramen with various cities in Japan. Reminded me a lot of my time of when I lived there. Very reasonably priced compared to many of the places I've been to in the city. $12-$16 you can get a very good sized bowl with various different broths. Definitely check it out if you can. Service was fast as well!

I had the lunch special kome miso ramen. For the most part the ramen was pretty mediocre, having a standard tasting miso ramen broth, without much more interesting flavor or depth beyond that. The toppings it came with were so-so, mostly average regular ingredients, and the random addition of a roasted potato. It's a bit heavier on the bean sprout side, but that's fine, and the bowl is actually quite full of ramen content, and less soup than you'd expect. The ramen itself is pretty average, not really the best tasting, and it tastes about the same quality as if you bought raw ramen from a Japanese grocery store.

This place was delicious! My friend and I chowed down here before a show at Webster hall. This was the first time I had ramen with roasted potatoes in it (their signature style). Prob could've done without them and still really enjoy the ramen. My friend got the spicy broth, and I had just regular miso with a side of the chili oil. If you are a spice lover, definitely go with the spicy broth. The chili oil didn't cut it for me. They offered lots of fun appetizers as well, and some unique ramen options like chicken katsu ramen (looked awesome).

This place delivers solid ramen and is a repeat location for me! All the components are great (love the egg), the vegetarian broth is very flavorful and fulfilling, and the noodles have a good chewy texture. Prices are super reasonable, and staff was fairly attentive. I wish the spicy option was spicier (it was a subtle heat) but overall a very positive experience!

The pork broth at miso ya is pretty rich and creamy but a little too salty. The miso ramen comes three big pieces of pork belly, very tender, as well as corn, nori, and a very perfect soft-boiled seasoned egg. The noodles have a pleasantly chewy texture

Not great food, the noodles were a a poor texture and the broths were mid-tier. They also did not allow us, a group of six, to use more than three credit cards to pay.

I got the miso chashu ramen and it was delicious. I came on a Saturday and they weren't too busy, but the service was polite and prompt. Broth and pork were delicious, and the noodles had the perfect amount of chewiness. I would definitely have this again!

Although maybe not THE best ramen in the area IMHO (a very highly contested topic especially in little Japan, this neighborhood of East Village Misoya happens to be in), I love the consistency in flavor, how quickly they can turn around an order for dining in or taking out, and fair prices for a dinner in east village. Living right next door to it is certainly a plus as well. Oh, the late night memories I remember here!

I didn't think I'd find a spot offering vegetarian ramen options better than Ramen Ishida in LES. I love Ramen Ishida, but Ramen Misoya just hits different. I get the Kome or Shiro Miso spicy ramen, usually with an extra egg, and oooooooof it is so, so good. The broth is just perfect - it's not spicy at all to me, but it's so flavorful and I always find it hard to believe that it's vegetarian. The portion is very generous, I'm always so full after. My only complaint is the tofu in the Shiro ramen seems to be fried in rice flour, so by the time it hits the broth, the tofu is soaked in sticky rice batter as opposed to something more sturdy and crunchy. I still like it, but I think a different type of batter would be better. I've only ever ordered delivery and it's been packaged well almost every time. The broth and ramen ingredients are separated which is pretty standard, and the broth is always quite hot by the time it gets to me. Love this place!

This was some of the best Ramen I've had in New York City. If not the best. Remember to look for the sign because the restaurant is almost underground. Definitely worth going out of your way for.

Broth amazing so good so flavorful Wish smaller portion for a small person like me The egg and everything was great Around $15 avg price Cozy interior Authentic food Servers too He asked me how many languages I know

We were looking for a place to eat for a party of five around 7pm and a lot of places had a long wait but we stumbled upon this ramen spot. It wasn't too crowded and we were seated immediately. The inside of the restaurant wasn't too big but we still had enough space between the next tables. We shared some appetizers and ordered a side of Korean wings which were pretty good. They were crispy and had enough flavor to it. We each ordered a bowl of ramen as well and I specifically got the regular miso ramen with the shrimp tempura added in. The broth was really good and the minced meat was unique and added to the overall flavor. I got to taste some of the spicy miso broth and it was also really good without being overwhelming spicy. I really enjoyed the noodle texture as well and I will definitely be back again!

Very flavorful ramen Specialty Tokyo miso was quite good Spicy komo miso was nice in flavor Great value No atmosphere Ok service Solid 3.5*
