Shuya

Amazing food, service as we remember when they had the restaurant in Astoria. We missed them so much so we had to go to the city and try them out. And yes, food is so delicious, fresh and on point as always! It was so good that we order another ramen to go. I wish they have the tantan dry ramen but it was not on the menu. We had the yellowtail sashimi, Brussels sprouts tempura (which is always one of my favorite), fried chicken, spicy miso ramen and shoyu ramen. All were so delicious and fresh. Keep up the amazing work. We will definitely be back again.

Update: 3.4.26- I got to try the classic shoyu ramen. It doesn’t come with corn and nori so I added them. The broth is nice but missing some flavor that the nori and corn definitely added. My chasu was fatty and slightly gummy. I wish it were more tender. The noodles were thin and tasty though. Overall a good bowl of ramen. Party of five and the food and service was great. The fried wings were so juice and crispy. The duck tsukemen was delicious. That duck was tender. The sake was smooth and dangerously good.

great food & really nice atmosphere! The servers weren’t the nicest because they were eager for us to rush, immediately giving the check and hurriedly asking if we were done with our plates. But, we were there at 9pm which was was close to their closing time which is understandable..! I got a clam based ramen and it was alright, I would definitely recommend the spicy miso ramen instead!! The wings were also delicious

A very fantastic experience. The most impressive parts are the yuzu ramen and hand roll. The yuzu broth is quite novel (my first time tasting it!) and its freshness is very compatible with the tender chicken breast and shellfish. The hand roll is both tasty and aesthetic just like an art collection. Will definitely recommend to friends who'd like to try ramen in New York!

After my first time at Shuya, I immediately wanted to go back! The food was phenomenal, including some of the best fried chicken and ramen I’ve had in the city. The space is very aesthetically pleasing- with the owner supposedly handcrafting much of the furniture! The plates, bowls and cups are also handmade and they sell them there. Overall, a great experience and will be back!

Came here for dinner a short while back and loved it! The ambience is nice and the service is fast - you have a QR code at your table and you can place your order, add items, and pay your tab all in one go. At the cost of being fast, though, we did feel a little rushed - we had a little less than 2 hours for our table which felt a little tight but maybe it was just a busy Friday night. In terms of food, highly recommend the wings, a hand roll (they seem to have two daily specials to choose from), and the shoyu ramen but there's many options that all look delightful. Also highly recommend the yuzu drink - tart and refreshing - as well as the pudding for dessert. I'll certainly be coming back here in the future!

notably delicious higher end ramen tasting experience. the duck tsukemen broth had a strong and well balanced taste (not overly salty). the thick noodles carried the broth but was also refreshing. finish with the hojicha pudding. each dish is worth savoring each bite. I will come again to try the other interesting seasonal ramen selections.

The Yuzu Ramen was an absolute delight, offering a unique and refreshing taste that I’ve never experienced before. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, fluent in both Japanese and English. Period.

The service is 10/10! Upon entering in my puffy winter coat, the waiter offered to take and hang it up. This was great since the chairs were rather small and my long coat would drag on the ground if hung on the back. He also bought me cold and hot water and refilled both without me asking a couple times! Food came out quickly as well. I got the shoyu ramen and my friend got yuzu shio. The portion size was filling and not overly so, just the right amount of chewy noodles with a good bite on them and a flavorful clean broth. Most times I get shoyu ramen, the pork is way too fatty for me to enjoy but the pork here was fairly lean which was nice. The yuzu shio broth had a light citrusy taste. Both were perfect for a cold winter day. Prices were reasonable at under $20 a bowl!

I love all of the ramen Shuya makes. I must say my favorite is vegetarian ramen and I'm not even vegetarian. It's that good. A must try dish here is fried chicken. He dips in the special sauce that I can't get enough of. My personal favorite is madai umeboshi appetizer. It's so refreshing. They have a high-tech menu, scan the QR code to order. Staff is friendly, you can sit at the beautiful counter to enjoy nice conversation with Shuya too. Oh, by the way, all of the dishes and ramen bowls are hand made by Shuya.

Needed something to warm us up on a cold winter day so we ventured into this ramen spot. While it wasn't the best ramen I've ever had, it did what it needed to do. I'm usually a shoyu guy through and through, but today I ventured into the spicy miso (we also got the classic shoyu, don't get me wrong). I really enjoyed the flavoring. Not too spicy (maybe could have been a skosh more?) but did build a nice sweat. I didn't think I would enjoy the minced meat aspect of it but I think it worked here. My only dislike was that I felt like the noodles weren't soft enough; I recognize this may be normal for this type of dish but I was expecting a smoother bite. The shoyu ramen was clean but maybe on the more boring side. Didn't come with a ton of meat. Pricy but probably simply by nature of where it is. The vibe of the place is cute. We sat at the counter and I enjoyed watching our dishes be made in a pretty meticulous fashion. I feel like if it were busier it would've taken quite a while to get food but it was really quiet on the Sunday afternoon we went, which was nice. And the dishware overall was nice: the chopsticks were interesting, spoon chic, water glasses huge, bowls cute. Overall worth the stop in.

This is more of a 4.5 star place, nothing was bad at all! The ambience was cozy and modern, the servers were kind although not the most attentive. The food was pretty solid, I am not an avid ramen eater so I don't have much to compare it to but I enjoyed my vegetable ramen, I found the broth very flavorful. The fried chicken was also very tasty and flavorful. The two sushi based dishes we tried were just okay, not bad but didn't pack a ton of flavor, I would probably skip that and stick to ramen here. I also wish they had a chicken based broth without clams ... overall would definitely come again on a chilly night

I live very close to Shuya and was very excited to check it out after it opened. I have now been here several times and am a huge fan. I have tried three of the ramens so far and all were very unique. I like that the broths are not your typical pork-based broths which, while delicious, can be very heavy and unhealthy. The broths here tend to be lighter and cleaner which I have come to appreciate. And the noodles, which are made in-house, are truly the star of the whole show. In addition to the ramen, they also have some temaki sushi (hand rolls) and appetizers like fried chicken. I tried the salmon temaki and fried chicken and both were also delicious. The restaurant itself is very modern and beautifully designed with really unique furniture. Service is always quick and friendly. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to being a regular here!

Menu is on QR code on the table. Reservations must be made 2 hours in advance, but the restaurant had plenty of seating when we got there around 2pm on a Sunday. - Fried chicken/tebasaki ($12, 4 pieces) was ok but too salty. The wings were huge. - Tried my friend's duck tsukemen (~$28), and it was pretty good. - Wagyu truffle ramen (~$40) didn't seem worth it. The wagyu was much too fatty and still tasted chewy. Has truffle flavor but overall not a great bowl of ramen. Not sure if I got unlucky and this was the one time the ramen didn't hit the mark, as other reviewers seemed to enjoy it. Bathroom in the back was clean.

Excellent ramen. I first found this gem as a recommendation in New York magazine. Made a reservation for lunch. The space is beautiful - it's like a furniture showroom. It's also very efficient you order and pay through the bar code but there's people around to help if needed. Got the ramen and don't skip out on the fried chicken - I love the 2 piece option so you don't overeat and still have room for dessert.

This ramen place is a hidden gem! I randomly stumbled upon it and was impressed by the elegant decor inside. It almost looked like a furniture store! They have a happy hour deal where their fried chicken wings (tebasaki chicken wings) were half priced. It was so delicious, crispy, and juicy that we ordered two servings. Might have been one of the best fried chicken I've had in the city. The ramen is pretty classic and you can't really go wrong. Tldr - come for their chicken wings during happy hour!

Heard about this new place from my friend who lives in the area and was surprised at how tasty it was! Started off with their happy hour special tebasaki ($4 for 2, $8 for 4). The batter was light and crunchy. The chicken was super tender and very juicy! I just loved how the meat was well-seasoned with a tasty and strong mirin flavor. I wish I got more, especially with the happy hour deal! The duck tsukemen surprised me! Their dipping broth was soy-sauced based with a touch of herbal flavors and a good orange citrus aroma, which was overall lighter than other traditional tsukemen ramens I've had that typically featured a heavier, fatty soup. The duck pieces were very tender and went really well with the slight sweetness from the orange zest. The ramen noodles were cooked al dente. They also have some fish powder in case you wanted any additional flavor combos. Just because of how nicely the flavors came together I felt like they deserved nothing less than a 5 star. Staff members were really nice and attentive. I like how they asked if I was familiar with tsukemen so they didn't have to explain the concept but readily available to answer questions. The minimalist Japanese decor made it a cute dining spot. I believe they also sell perfumes and lotions in the back.

Had lunch at the counter at Shuya. The room is beautiful. The food is delicious. The owner is warm and welcome. We will return to try more things on the menu.

New ramen spot in Murray Hill that really impresses, even just by the initial aesthetics when first stepping in but also the food itself. We tried the shoyu ramen, duck tsukemen, and a scallop handroll, with extra noodles ordered with both of the ramens. The noodle textures for both the regular ramen and the thicker tsukemen were on point al dente, just how I like it. The broth was also very high quality and remniscent of some of the good spots in Tokyo. The handroll was also pretty decent, flavored with yuzu to cut through the fatty seafood, so very well balanced. Will definitely be back!

Best ramen I ever had. We had the shoyu and the wagyu black truffle ramen. Both were 10/10, although the wagyu black truffle is def the better dish. The broths were different in both and were absolutely incredible. We also had some good hand rolls but the ramen is definitely the star of the show here. Can't wait to come back and try more.

Wow wow wowza. I'm definitely in love with this place. Beautiful restaurant in Murray Hill. The chef is working hard behind the bar. The chicken karaage is some of the best I've ever had with a spicy side sauce. They also have temaki starters and one roll is always on happy hour special weekdays before 7pm. I've been a few times now to try a few ramen. I'm a fan of the waygu ramen and duck tsukeman. The miso spicy tan tan is also a delight. You should definitely put this spot on your hit list now it's getting colder.

Don't sleep on this spot. The interior is gorgeous and modern. Beautiful marble countertops at the bar. Quality glassware, beautiful ceramic dishes elevate a delicious and tapered menu. It's cozy but comfortable inside - I sat at bar! Honestly I'd consider this a great first date spot- it's got an elegant feel with delicious food but can still feel casual. I had some temaki and ramen. The fish is insanely fresh. I could have made a meal of those! The Ingredients speak for themselves. It doesn't seem like they're in the business of over dressing & over marinating mediocre cuts of meat or vegetables. I will 100000% return.

Amazing ramen, I can't believe i didn't discover this earlier. Service is great. You order through the portal and can pay through that as well. The place has a nice cozy vibe and I interacted with the chef due to my big appetite for ramen! Would definitely come back for more!

Shuya is a solid ramen place. The interior is very modern and clean. Stick to the ramen on the menu.

This is probably one of my favorite ramen shops in the city. I had the vegan ramen with added ajitama and spicy sauce. The noodles had a perfect, chewy texture, and the broth was hearty and rich. I loved that there were a variety of vegetable toppings included: eggplant, tomatoes, cauliflower, squash, lotus root, kabocha, and more! That made for a different experience with each bite. The egg was a nice addition as well. The spicy sauce was an interesting touch as well, with mild heat and some tartness, but totally not necessary as the broth is plenty flavorful on its own. The restaurant itself is also a beautifully designed space, and the staff is so sweet. Definitely pay this one a visit.

I have to say the food here was delicious. I came here for dinner on Friday evening with some friends. I loved it they have happy hour on some of the food and select drinks. The service was great and the ambiance was relaxing. We had ordered the o toro tamaki sushi, the karage, the duck tsukemen and the A5 wagyu black truffle ramen. Everything was delicious! I would definitely love to come back again. The happy hour snacks for the night was the karage and the o toro tamaki.

Not my favorite ramen in the city but also not the worst. The broth is a mix of chicken and clam so it has a different richness to it the spicy miso was good the ground pork was better than the pieces and it was a good amount of noodles, I was satisfied but not stuffed. The citrus yuzu drink was very fresh and light. The ordering on your phone is nice so you can add things as needed and the inside was cute I didn't see seating accommodations for parties bigger than 4 but I also didn't really look. Not too expensive and overall a good meal!

Over the course of the past month or so, I've returned to Shuya several times to try most of the ramen as well as many other appetizer items (temaki, tebasaki, brussel sprouts, etc.). Every single ramen is exceptional, with character and depth of flavor. And unlike most of the other ramen shops in NYC (and Japan!), it's not heavy, fatty tonkotsu-based. Shuya sets itself apart with a lighter and definitely healthier approach with shoyu and/or clear-based broths, but with many, many incredible dimensions of flavor. The whole experience is casual, warm, and yet, exciting. The ramen bowls are made by Shuya, the owner and the person making every ramen order. The furniture is made by the other owner, also named Shuya. I usually sit at the counter. I watched Shuya preparing ingredients for the broth, roasting fish bones and vegetables. He makes the noodles in-house. The wagyu comes from Japan. Everything really is thoughtfully prepared. I ask questions about the ingredients, and Shuya answers--he's generous, warm, and fun. There are no shortcuts here. As a food-lover who has lived in NYC for many years, traveled around the world for food, and yet, rarely writes Yelp reviews, I want to support restaurants like Shuya because this is how it should be: honest and thoughtfully prepared food!

The Tebasaki and brussel sprouts were amazing! Assari yuzu ramen was also incredible -- big fan of the chicken broth based ramens! We also ordered the Dassai Blue Sake, 10/10 recommend. The restaurant itself was super cool, I wish had taken some photos. The furniture was very nice and there were different types of seating (counter, booth, tables). I loved sitting at the counter and seeing our food be made. Service was also great. You order through your phone which makes things easy. If you're in Murray Hill, I would definitely recommend stopping here for Ramen.

The journey of Shuya restaurant is as unique as the food they serve. The name 'Shuya' belongs to the two founders, who started their journey in Queens, pre-pandemic. One of them was a furniture designer, the other a chef, both sharing a vision to create a retail environment to showcase their art. Their small spot in Queens flourished for seven years, until they decided to launch a Kickstarter and bring their dream restaurant to life in Manhattan. Their Kickstarter campaign was a resounding success, with donations totaling $50K, enabling them to transform the space and custom-make all the furniture. You can tell from the moment you enter the restaurant that something unique is happening here. We ordered several things on our table so everyone could taste them. We started with the Onigiri, which are not dainty. Of course, the hero is the rice, which was cooked perfectly with a delicious filling that changes daily. Next were the chicken wings, which were gone as fast as they arrived. They come with a spicy paste on the side, which is not to be missed. From there on, we all diverged. I ordered the Duck Tsukemen, and the others all ordered ramen, a couple of classics, and one miso spicy. Feedback on the ramen was overwhelming: delicious noodles and tasty broth. The spicy miso ramen is true to its name, so you have been warned. The duck Tsukemen was awesome: slightly larger noodles with a better bite and deliciously tender duck breast sliced thin. The only uncommon part of the meal is the ordering. The restaurant uses the TOAST app, which invites you to order through their app using a QR code. This process works well for those eating together while paying separately but is slightly more complicated when four people are ordering through one person. That said, the staff is happy to accommodate and check in frequently, mainly when you think you ordered but forgot to hit the ORDER button, and there you sit and haven't ordered anything. My bad. I highly recommend trying this spot. Don't be intimidated by the lack of reservations; you can often walk in, and they are happy to accommodate.

Amazing food!! Every thing in this small and exceptionally clean restaurant turned out to be delicious. We tried the Duck with dipping noodles was an experience in itself. A few ingredients each with exceptional taste. Will be back in a couple of days to try some other ramen. The sake was also far superior than what you get in most restaurants. Each one of the plates and cups are hand made by one of the owners. The furniture is also handmade, by them second owner. They obviously care a great lot about their restaurant. You should definitely try it, you'll have an unusual and delicious experience

Amazing food - lots of care put into each and every dish (handmade by the chef himself in the back) as well as the customer service. We love the wagyu beef ramen, spicy miso ramen, duck, and chicken wings. Nice ambiance as well.

We had Asari Yuzu Shio, Duck Tsuke men and traditional shoyu. Each ramen bowl has different thickness of noodle and broth. Very delicate flavor.

I first experienced Shuya's Ramen when they were based in Astoria, Queens, and even then, the quality was exceptional. I didn't think it could get any better, but my recent visit to their new Manhattan location surpassed all expectations. I indulged in the "Classic Shuya Ramen," which was exquisitely topped with pork prepared in two distinct ways. The flavors were phenomenal, and a cold beer perfectly complemented the meal. I will definitely be returning soon!

Third time there! What a great restaurant! Best vegan ramen ever! Incredibly friendly. Plan to go there a lot this winter!

A new ramen restaurant with a sleek interior design. It reminds me of a Mejuri showroom for some reason. Nice spot for dates or friends. Ramen was ok. Fine but not noteworthy. I think ippudo is better. I probably wouldn't come again just for the ramen itself but the environment is very nice.

Second time coming here, still blown away. One of the top ramens I've had in NYC hands down. You will not be disappointed. You can tell the ramen noodles are handmade and the attention to every small detail is there. Each ramen is unique with its own taste but the Assari Yuzu Shio ramen is unlike anything I've had outside of Japan. Definitely check it out while reservations and seating is pretty available.

We stopped by for dinner yesterday for the first time. We ordered the chicken karaage (fried chicken) appetizer, a tuna avocado temaki sushi and ramen bowls for both of us. I had the spicy miso ramen which was amazing and my wife had the vegan ramen which wasn't all that great. It lacked flavor. The karaage was freshly cooked and perfectly crunchy and the tuna avocado temaki sushi was amazing.

I loved Shuya when it was in Astoria. I finally got to visit their new restaurant in Murray Hill and it does not disappoint. Their ramen is always on point and brings so much comfort and warmth in every bite. We got the Assari yuzu shio ramen which had a very good and interesting citrusy broth and Spicy miso ramen which was also delicious! We also tried their fried chicken that I would totally recommend.
