The 18 Best Places To Eat Ramen In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"Tucked away inside the Wyndham Garden Chinatown hotel, this place isn’t the easiest to find, but that’s good (for you) because it keeps the crowds away. Stop by for a bowl of Shinka’s bone marrow ramen with murky, beefy broth. It comes with well-marbled slices of brisket, tons of garlic chips, discs of daikon, and a big bone sawed in half so you can scoop out all the marrow to make the broth even richer." - will hartman, willa moore, sonal shah, neha talreja, kenny yang

Toast to Women’s History Month at These NYC Spots | Eater

"Located in the Wyndham Garden Chinatown, Shinka Ramen & Sake Bar consistently holds space on the best ramen of NYC lists, with experimental varieties like birria and miso soy milk. The Hidden Fig-ures (an Old-Fashioned made with Zacapa No. 23 Rum, sake, fig, and five spice) created by consultant Linda Nivar pairs well with the rich beef bone marrow ramen made with braised beef brisket, daikon radish, scallion, garlic chives, bean sprout, and crisped garlic chips." - Lee Musho

Shinka Ramen & Sake Bar Review - Chinatown - New York - The Infatuation

"Tucked away inside the Wyndham Garden Chinatown hotel, this place isn’t the easiest to find, but that’s good (for you) because it keeps the crowds away. Stop by for a bowl of Shinka’s bone marrow ramen with murky, beefy broth. It comes with well-marbled slices of brisket, tons of garlic chips, discs of daikon, and a big bone sawed in half so you can scoop out all the marrow. If you want some small bites, get the crawfish salad in a wonton taco shell or pork belly bao (one of the best in the city). The space looks like a small sports bar with only a few high tops and TVs, and you can order anything from the connected beer garden or taqueria in case you want BBQ wings or birria tacos with your ramen." - Kenny Yang

Helen at the bar was amazing! She was so friendly and wowed me with my drinks. The Ramen was awesome too compliments to the Chef. Definitely have to come back and explore the food and drinks.

I came across this restaurant from a blogger who called it the best ramen ever. First of all, I would like to give credit to the staff, who provided attentive and detailed service. However, I do have a few issues with hygiene. The main focus was on the cutlery, the chopsticks and spoons on the table were very problematic, the chopsticks were placed head down in the chopsticks bucket, I picked up four pairs and three of them had stains on the heads, I'm not sure if the stains came from the bottom of the bucket or if they weren't brushed clean. I'm not sure if the stains came from the bottom of the chopstick bin or if they weren't brushed off. Then there were the spoons, two of which had dried and stuck noodles and side dishes on them. Coming back to the food, how good the food is is the most important thing to me. I ordered two bowls of ramen, one bowl of spicy pork bone ramen and one bowl of beef marrow ramen. To be honest, I was shocked by the appearance of the two bowls of ramen when it was served, it was very beautiful, like a work of art. The sides of the two bowls of ramen were very rich and the size of chashu that came with it was huge. But while the two bowls of noodles smelled aromatic, the flavor was very bland, the kind of bland where you put too little salt, in addition, the Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen wasn't spicy at all, and I was even skeptical about the layer of red oil in the bowl. The beef marrow ramen on the other hand was much better and you could taste the aroma of the beef fat. Meanwhile the chashu was very unflavorful and the chashu was too tough and too woodsy with no meaty flavor. The ramen itself was middling, as the broth itself was bland in flavor, so the ramen was also flavorless. One thing to commend is the loose egg, it was perfect, like an amber-like loose egg yolk with a very penetrating flavor and just the right amount of saltiness and sweetness.

We are from Toronto and were trying to find a ramen spot. We found Thai randomly and we have no regrets. This place serves up such amazing ramen the quality of the meat and broth is perfect. Beats Toronto’s ramen spots. I got the birria ramen and it is DELECTABLE. 5 stars!!

Blown away like a torpedo out of the water 💥 💥 Michelin star quality BROTH with beef bone marrow. 🥇🥇 Ramen was good but the broth, oh the broth, no words …. 🥹 I grew up here and ate pretty much at all the Asian hot spots from Mott St to cheap eats on Christie St. I wouldn’t have to pay more than $3.50 - $12 for a bowl of noodles. So $21 for this beef bone marrow ramen aka GYUKOTSU is damn excessive but rightly justified. I waited 15 minutes and well worth it 👍👍 I can devour this for lunch 7 days straight 🏆 First time here and I sat at the beer garden mistakenly. A more chill & laid back Japan setting is a quick walk up the steps. 2 establishments sharing 2 types of cuisine ✅✅

The ribs was very good. The nachos was from fried wonton skins which was very crispy and light and the toppings was a good match. We had the spicy tonkotsu ramen which was mildly spicy. The broth was good but didn’t need all the red oil on top that had no purpose. I removed as much as I could. The beef with marrow rant was delicious. Had a good dinner. Staff was friendly.

Ramen! We ordered ramen and it was soooooo good! The name had the word spicy in it but according to my taste buds it was definitely not spicy at all. We also ordered the lobster taco, the gyoza, and the curry. I tasted the curry, way too sweet for me, and sweet foods are definitely not my thing, but if it's yours, well you should try it.

We were so blown away with the great customer service and phenomenal brunch that we came back later (the same day!) for an early dinner! They also have an awesome selection of beers on tap. During our first visit in the early afternoon -I opted for a rice bowl, my husband had steak tacos and my cousin had the wagyu sliders. Everything was absolutely delicious. Mahmod and Nahid were top notch waiters. They kept checking in with us to make sure all was well. It was a very relaxed and welcoming environment. Nahid and Mahmod enjoyed telling us about the different dishes on the menu and answered our questions without hesitation. They insisted that the next time we come back we try the Ramen. After we left the restaurant, we "worked up our appetite" again by exploring the Museum of Modern Art- so we decided to go back to Shinka! Since it was later in the day, the restaurant was more packed, but Nahid and Mahmod remembered us and welcomed us back with a friendly greeting. The atmosphere was alive with conversation and had a really chill vibe. I ordered the Bone Broth Ramen, my husband had the Wagyu sliders this time and we ordered the gyoza for appetizers. They food came out in a reasonable time. I was blown away by the Bone Broth Ramen. Like. Literally. I was almost emotional. Words can't describe the rich flavors I experienced. Eating the ramen felt like I was experiencing an outer body experience. The ramen and broth was delicious,delicate and rich. My husband was also mesmerized by the Ramen. Now let's talk about these Wagyu sliders. My cousin didn't offer us any when he had them and NOW we understand why. Those things are PHENOMENAL. You get three of them in an order and you will want more! The gyoza were also a hit!!! I have never seen gyoza presented the was that Shinka plates them. Underneath the crispy topping (which also tastes delicious!) are some the most delightful tasting gyoza . I would definitely recommend visiting this restaurant if you get a chance to visit the Chinatown area of New York City.

Definitely coming back! Wait staff extremely nice... Ramen so tasty. You can taste that the broths been simmering for hours! Fresh ingredients! Ribs were so tender and their spicy tuna taco is an yummy twist!

This restaurant is cute, tucked away in the back of a hotel on Bowery. It's lit up with neons and a small bar area but we found a table which was a good size for us both. The staff was also friendly. We saw this restaurant on infatuation so I had hopes of it being good, and it was. We ordered the beef bone broth ramen with an added egg and it was really flavorful. The bone marrow meat was really delicious but I do wish there was more meat in the marrow and the bowl, other than that it was very flavorful and I'm glad I finally checked this place out. There's also a huge sports bar attached to the hotel which I think they bring the ramen to as well.

Long overdue review! I visited this bar/ restaurant with my sister and partner. We loved it. Helen, who was the bartender and also our server. She was phenomenal. We visited in December so I do not know if she's still around. Helen was so nice and friendly, a connoisseur when it came to drinks. Anyways we ordered the bone broth ramen that was delicious and the birria ramen, the birria ramen was okay. We also ordered the spicy tuna taco and takoyaki as appetizers, both were good and we also ordered some drinks. When I visit New York again, I'll make sure to pass by Shinka.

What a nice spot for ramen! I was very intrigued by their Birria ramen and decided I had to make a visit here. I had never heard of Birria and ramen together so I was very interested to see how the chef would combine the flavors and I'm happy to say it was delicious! I also tried out their award winning ramen - the bone marrow ramen, and I really loved the broth! Honestly I only have good things to say about this place. The broth was nicely balanced with such contrasting flavors in my opinion and I found myself wanting more and more with every sip I took. I loved the noodles textures as well. Next time I come back I would still get both! Their drinks are also delicious and shoutout to the staff for being kind. I love finding spots like this where they come up with such inventive dishes. Can't wait to return!!

Stopped by randomly and there was no wait for a party of 2. Small area and it's connected with a hotel and sports bar, somewhat easy to miss if you don't know what you're looking for. Ordered their nachos, pork ribs & shinka ramen. It was solid, a lil greasy due to the ribs and nachos. It was a lot of food for two and we didn't end up finishing everything. We've been here a few times and thought the nachos contained tuna or salmon, but this time it was just more meat. Service was fine, felt like there was only one or two people helping out and they were also tending to the bar.

We came here for dinner, and I decided to try the bone marrow ramen. The broth was absolutely fantastic--rich, flavorful, and perfectly thick. However, the noodles weren't quite to my liking; I personally prefer thicker noodles that could complement the hearty broth better. The restaurant itself has a laid-back and cozy atmosphere, making it a great spot to unwind and enjoy a comforting meal. Overall, it's a solid ramen shop with unique offerings.

It's more like a having a ramen corner in a sports bar. Beef Bone Marrow Gyukotsu - kinda meh, little bland, there's a lot of garlic slices inside which is odd, accidentally ate many pieces which we didn't love. Regret to try this specialty here instead of going basic spicy tonkostu prob would have been better. Shinka Pork Rib - so good so tender, love it!

We were in Chinatown around 10pm and this one was of the few restaurants still open (they close at midnight on weekends!). It's located inside the Bowery hotel and something I've always wanted to try because of their award winning ramen. We walked in without a wait and promptly placed our order. The place is very quiet and dimly lit, in contrast to the bar next door. Ordered the tonkotsu ramen and the bone marrow ramen. The broth is very creamy for the tonkotsu and not salty at all! This is very rare for ramens that I've had. They thinly sliced and charred the pork so it had a nice texture. The winner is the bone marrow ramen though (their award winning ramen). The meat and marrow had a Smokey taste which is very different from any ramen I've ever had. The broth was seasoned perfectly as well (not too salty). The service was very fast and the waiter was very friendly. Would definitely come back next time I'm craving ramen!

Very very small place with maybe 6 tables but don't let that fool you. The drinks are good and strong and the food is on point I forgot to take my food. The bartender tonight was very attentive and food was great. A little expensive but worth it. 2 matcha mules, 4 ramen bowls and 2 soft drinks for $157 after taxes plus tip. It was walking distance from our hotel (Hotel 50 Bowery).

I LOVE THIS SPOT!!!! It's a hidden gem to me. It's located on the first floor of a hotel, but the ramen is SO GOOD. There is always seating, but sometimes just one seat left. I've been here tons of times and will keep coming back. HIGHLY recommend.

I recently came to Shinka last weekend with some of my good friends and the experience was awesome! The ambiance inside was great and a the staff was very friendly to us. We got the Edamame and Spicy Tuna Taco as some appetizers and they were way better than we expected. The Spicy Tuna Taco in particular was rich with flavor and a great crunch. For our entrees, we got Shinka Tonkatsu Ramen and Oyako Don, both coming out very quickly, the service was great the duration of our meal. These two dishes were excellent as the Oyako Don brought me back to my time in Japan with a great mix of flavors and the Shinka Tonkatsu Ramen had an amazing broth with some great ingredients blending together to form an excellent dish. All in all, me and my friends enjoyed this meal as everything was perfect and we will definitely be coming back in the future because it is one of my new favorite restaurants!

Shishito peppers were good. This time none of them were spicy. They're great! However the smashed cucumbers were very spicy. I don't remember them being this spicy though. I needed a couple of glasses of water. Lobster tacos were good too! Crunchy and thin taco shell . Pork baos were tasty. Didn't feel too oily or fatty. The bone marrow ramen is still the best! The broth is rich and so good! Get the marinated soft boil egg with it. The churros were hot and perfect. Dip it in the hot, dripping, chocolate sauce. It's finger-licking good! The rich bone marrow ramen broth is good on a cold night. It just warms your belly. Definitely will be back!

Omg. Walked in Sunday night and tried their bone marrow ramen and summer salmon dry ramen (hiyashi chuka) and was blown away! We initially came here since their bone marrow ramen won awards, but I personally loved the summer salmon dry ramen more. I'm so glad the waitress recommended it!! It was citrusy, light, and very flavorful. It was different, and I loved it. I'm sad I'm 3000 miles away otherwise I'd come back and get this all the time. The restaurant was also in the Bowery hotel. We went upstairs to the rooftop bar afterwards which made it a great date with my bestie. Absolutely would come back!

Hands down my favorite ramen spot in NYC! Their bone marrow ramen is rich, warm, and comforting. The birria ramen had me wishing I had bread to dip because the soup is so delicious. Tip: Instead of sitting at the beer garden, go through the hotel doors past the hotel lobby and on the left hand side in the back, sit at Shinka! It is a much more intimate space.

Came here as part of a Pulsd deal. Located inside the Wyndham hotel, it's a small hidden spot. Got the Beef Bone Marrow Ramen as the main course. The broth was very flavorful and beefy and the slices of beef were very tender. Not sure the bone really added much to the flavor or eating experience. The slices of daikon were a little out of place and I think the slices of garlic could have been crispy. Not a bad bowl of ramen, but not necessarily one I'd go out of my way for.

I came here with some friends for dinner while staying in Chinatown. The atmosphere is very loud and mimics that of a bar over a restaurant, but is not a problem. My group and I sat inside because outside seating was reservation only. In terms of the food, it was very delicious and flavorful. I had the bone marrow ramen and added chili oil and soy sauce. The broth was flavorful and rich. I would have preferred if the beef itself were season more, but I understand seasoning the soup and not individual ingredients. For an appetizer, I had the fried oysters which were also delicious. I would 5/5 recommend this place again!

Wow. This may have been the best ramen I've had. I ordered the Beef Bone Marrow since that was labeled as an award winner. It tasted phenomenal, the brisket was to die for! I'm also added an egg that was cooked perfectly. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for good ramen.

Came with two of my girlfriends for an overdue birthday dinner. The waitress let me get seated before they arrived so that was nice. However, I tried to order an appetizer to start first but she preferred if everyone was at the table to put in the order together, which I found a little odd. Nonetheless, I was able to place our orders in at once. I got the spicy tuna taco for an appetizer which was one piece for $5. It was pretty tasty but I probably wouldn't order it again since it was really small. The tuna is mashed up, just so you're aware - so don't expect small chopped bites of tuna. We ordered two Shinka Tonkotsu and one Spicy Tonkotsu. The portions were quite big and they give two big pieces of meat! I was pleasantly surprised. However, one of my pieces was quite tough and hard to chew. There was also too much onion in mine, and this is coming from someone who likes onion. There was a lot of scallion already in it so both combined was overkill. I did enjoy the broth as it was super flavorful. If you want to add an egg, it's $3 - it was cooked perfectly though with the center oozing out so definitely get it if you love an egg in your ramen! In all, we felt we have had better ramen and it is too overpriced for what you're getting. I believe all ramen were minimum of $18 from what I remembered. *The restaurant is located inside the Wyndam building so you have to go through the lobby to enter*

Worst dinning experience! Server was rude since the second we walked in. The fountain drinks had no carbonation and when asked to replace or changed we were given can drinks which were $4/ea w/no refills but this wasn't communicated. When taking our order she didn't ask additional questions, was rushed and unfriendly! Even rolled her eyes when asked for the additional menu. The tab included a mandatory 20% tip which she didn't deserve a single penny of! Will not recommend this establishment due to the poor customer service! Not to mentions she was rude and condescending when asked to split the bill which she failed to ask if we'd be doing when initially taking our order since she had a crappy attitude since the beginning! Again, terrible service!

Originally, I had this on the list for ramen, which I will come back to try. This time around, I got the oyakudon. The place is tucked in the back of the Wyndam Garden hotel lobby. Very dimmed area with a bar and high seats. It wasn't busy, and the server seemed bored and not paying attention. There were other servers who were kind and attentive. The food came out quick with a salad. The bowl wasn't too big, but it was deep. Had a lot of rice under the oyaku. There wasn't a whole lot of chicken. The flavor was good, but nothing wow stood out to me.

The bone marrow ramen was delicious. The broth was rich and really hit the spot on a cold evening. I added the soy sauce soft boiled egg and it complemented the flavors of the dish. I was disappointed that a ramen restaurant did not have green tea or surprisingly hot water. Maybe deserves a 4.75 because of that. Service was attentive and great. There was a speakeasy vibe since the main restaurant is tucked away in the back of the beer garden. On my previous visits, I ordered ramen in the sports bar section.

Shinka Ramen has some amazing ramen ranging from their spicy miso to their popular bone marrow. I opted for the latter since I get spicy miso all the time and I was not disappointed. The tempura cauliflower is also great. The only reason I knocked off a star is because the drinks were subpar.

A cute little spot hidden behind the beer hall. Enter through the hotel lobby. It wasn't too busy on a weeknight and the staff were very friendly and kind. The appetizers were okay, a 6/10 for both the lobster tacos and taki balls. The ramen Was good! Broth was flavorful and packed with noodles and vegetables. You are able to customize toppings as well to make it perfect for you.

Was looking for a bar on a Wednesday night for a quick drink and snack. My fiancé stumbled upon Shinka. The setup of the restaurant slightly confusing. Upon walking in, no server/waiter/host , just a couple tables full with a bartender. The bartender after a couple minutes realized we were there and cleared out a table for us. He was nice but service in general was not the best. We ordered the bone marrow ramen as it is listed as NYC Best and edamame. The ramen was okay, very beefy but I prefer the traditional miso/spicy miso tonkotsu ramen with chasu. The edamame was great portion and came out warm with a perfect amount of salt. It was $6. Overall it was okay. I'd come back for the yuzu margarita or to even try their other cocktails.

After being bookmarked for some time, I finally got to drop by for lunch on a Sunday. It's a small spot located in the back corner of a hotel. It has a bar and seating is rather limited, so I wouldn't recommend bringing a large group here. I'd seen the birria ramen mentioned on social media and had to come try it, as I enjoy birria in general. I was a little worried about it being combined with ramen, though. Fortunately, it was good! The meat was very tender and the broth had a savory combination of flavors. I would probably prefer birria on its own, but it was a nice little experiment to try a fusion version of it.

This restaurant is inside the Wyndham Garden Hotel in Chinatown. It's really small but quaint. There are only 7 tables along with a bar. The food was flavorful. We gave the nachos a try for the appetizer. It was a bit salty but the onions cut it down some. The award winning shinko tonkotsu was really good and rich in broth. The initial presentation appeared to only have one piece of pork but you find out there was another one hidden underneath which made the pricier price worth it because you normally only get one in many ramen dishes elsewhere. We also had a Shinka Birria ramen and that was very flavorful too with the lamb. A nice place for a sweet intimate dinner with someone special or low noise privacy. The staff was very attentive.

Arrived in NY on a rainy day so instead of eating out, I ordered delivery. The spicy tonkotsu ramen was the perfect choice for something warm & soothing on a cold day. Full of flavor, great portion size and the ramen was bagged in a way where there was no spillage! I also got the spicy tuna taco. It's a yummy app that's about the size of a potsticker and is also packed with flavor. I look forward to dining in next time.

Overpriced and not good. The Birria ramen is cool and unique but it lacked flavor. The nachos also just were bland as well. All of the food is just missing that extra something. Service is also not the best. The guy bringing out our food was not friendly at all and really not the best. Do NOT go here for ramen. There are so many better places in the city!

The bone marrow ramen was perfection. The bone marrow was delicious and the additional beef slices were soft and tender. The broth was also flavorful but not too heavy. This place is interesting because it also doubles as a beer garden / bar so you can also order various draft beers and bar food if you want. I'll definitely be back!

I've eaten here about 3 times now and each time the food and service has been good! I was here a couple weeks ago and it was my first time back Post-Covid. Ordered the Shinka pork ribs, nachos and the bone marrow gyukotsu. I was pretty satisfied with my meal! I'm more of a thick noodle type of person so I wish they had that as an option for the ramen, but other than that, I have no complaints!

The ramen here is absolutely phenomenal and honestly one of the best ramen I've ever had in NYC. We got the bone marrow and spicy tonkotsu ramen, both were incredible. The flavor of the broth explodes in your mouth, and the bone marrow was super rich and savory. I cant wait to come back.

Was in the mood for ramen and decided to give Shinka a try. We ordered the house chips for am appetizer and they were delicious. Perfect thickness, salted to perfection. I got their new lamb birria ramen was everything I didn't know I needed. The broth alone is something I will definitely be back for. The meat was super tender, noodles perfectly cooked, and the veggies were super fresh. Aside from the food, the overall experience was calm. Our waitress checked in periodically but for the most part we were left to enjoy our food and conversation without feeling rushed. The bathroom was a bit of an adventure to find but upon reaching the hallway all my frustrations melted away once I saw how cute the bathroom area was. Will definitely be back for the food.

Friendly waiters, terrible service and even worse food. I had to ask the waiters 3 times for water. And asked them 4 times to refill my glass. They're extremely kind and friendly, but the service is extremely lacking. The other frustrating thing is I waited 30 minutes for my ramen to come out. Everyone in my group got their food as did other tables. When I inquired, they said it was coming. The second time I inquired, they admitted they lost the ticket so I had to wait even longer. My 2 stars is based on the food alone. Waiting already was a bummer and the terrible food added insult to the injury. The flavors were very lacking, the noodles were not very good, and it was overall very disappointing. The price is high for something so disappointing. I wanted to love this place and the reviews seemed promising. I don't understand why people like it.

Came here given the "must try" beef Bold Beef bone marrow broth ramen. Inflation has brought this bowl of ramen up to $21 which is quite expensive given you can get AYCE KBBQ for close to the same price. Ramen took about 10-15 minutes to come out during a not very busy time. Note, Shinka and the bar appear to have melded together into one restaurant. There were no usual ramen toppings at the table and the waiter was more than happy to bring out some chili sauce for me. I was able to scoop out 2 very small bites of bone marrow off the bone. While small it was pretty delicious. When the bowl was brought out, I was worried that it was a little smaller than the usual portions I get from other ramen spots. However, upon digging in, there were lots of thin noodles and 3 very thick slices of beef (without too much fat on it which is how I like it). The daikon was a little weird and seemed undercooked and hard, however I understand why it is there (to cleanse your palette a bit). Overall 3.5/5 stars since price was a little steep vs other ramen places. However from just a food basis I would give this 4/5. Note, also getting to the bathrooms is like a labyrinth/maze given the various stairs, twists and turns you need to take to get there.

Came here with two other friends for lunch. We were looking for a spot in Chinatown with outdoor seating and heating lamps. Turns out this place is sharing the space with the beer garden in the hotel so we were able to stay warm in the open air dining area (enclosed with an outer artificial wall, no idea what they're called). I defaulted to their award winning Beef Bone Marrow Ramen ($18). It was something unique not offered at many, if any, ramen spots that I've encountered. It consisted of two pieces of braised beef brisket, daikon radish, scallion, garlic chives, bean sprout, crisped garlics chips, in a beef bone marrow broth. The noodles tasted amazing and consisted of a really nice texture. The bone marrow is super fatty, so I decided to mix it in with the broth. Overall, very impressed.

Got the most popular bone marrow ramen and their new Shinka Birria ramen with a tuna taco. The bone marrow ramen is to die for -- the broth is made so well and you can taste the depth in the soup. The pork is cooked to perfection and it is a standard size bowl of ramen. The Shinka Birria has such an interesting flavor. It has lamb but the soup reminds me of chili. The color is really red but it is not too spicy. The noodles in each ramen are different, this one is more thicker than the bone marrow one. The tuna taco was amazing, very flavorful. I could taste that there was some type of citrus/yuzu that was used in it which gave it a good touch. The taco is very small and an order only comes with one. Overall the food is very good. However, it can get a little pricey. You are looking to spend about $20 per bowl of ramen if you add an egg to it (which costs $3 to add; IMO ramen should always come with the egg) The restaurant was super busy when I went on Thursday night but we were seated fairly quickly. This place is also two restaurants in one -- there is also a menu for bar food that is not technically Shinka but you can order from both menus under the same bill.

Bold Beef bone marrow broth, charred marrow, tender braised beef brisket, refreshing daikon radish, scallion, garlic chives, umami explosive crisped garlic chips. The Ajitsuke Tamago (seasoned soft boiled egg) is phenomenal and better than ever! Kaedama (extra noodle) is a must and F the diet for a day!

The winter season is back and that means it is time to slurp some ramen! I was excited to try this place after hearing that they won 2019 ramen award in Spring! Also, where else would you be able to try Bone marrow ramen? The price of ramen ranges from $16-20, which may sound a little bit expensive,but the portion is generous and filling. The broth was savory and bone marrow meat was very tender. I wish the noodles were ramen noodles (personal taste though). Otherwise, I have no other complaints about the taste of this ramen :). Definitely recommend checking out this place especially in cold weather times like this. They offer dine-in (As of 1/2/2021

I've been wanting to try ramen for quite a while now, so I figured that a trip to NYC (and more specifically Chinatown) warranted the first time experience. I'm so glad we went here. I had their award-winning bone marrow ramen, and it was DELICIOUS. The broth, the meat, the egg (which you can add for additional $3) - it was all tasty. Side note that I thought we were in the wrong spot since it's connected to a beer garden and there is limited seating, but it didn't impact our experience at all.

My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this place on our way back to our Airbnb in New York. The vibe inside was quite chilled since we went on a week night, there were a couple of people eating and drinking there but it wasn't very busy. We both ordered the bone marrow ramen. The portion was good for the price. The bone marrow and ramen was delicious, and the atmosphere of the place was quite nice.

Closed one hour early out of the blue and our dinner plans were ruined. We ended up going to a couple of the hole in the wall places in Chinatown instead.

The service was phenomenal for being open so late. We were promptly seated and the food was amazing. I really enjoyed the spicy tonkatsu and kaki fry don. Definitely recommend checking this place out.

Ramen is the perfect comfort food in cold NY weather. It's a cute little spot inside the Wyndham hotel. I got the bone marrow ramen. But the ramen wasn't ramen-ing for me. It was missing a kick or the broth tasted a bit watered down. But the wing's definitely saved the day. They were crunchy on the outside but juicy on the inside. Definitely recommend the wings. Maybe skip the ramen.
