Tenichi Ramen

Im a ramen junkie, and love to try different ramen shops all over the world. I have decided to give it a shot after seeing all the high stars rating but........ Spoiler alert: Noodle grading Max 3-4/10 Appetizer: Karaage Fried Chicken Potion was small, breading too thick Taste: It's just ok, but it was juicy Ramen: Tenichi Ramen (pork bone broth) Soup: lacks richness/thickness and flavor Noodle: generic yellow wavy noodles 🤔 Topping: normal, chashiu is okay. Garlic oil was used to compensate for the lack of actual pork bone flavor... TanTan Ramen: lacks its suppose tantan taste and flavor. Soup is very, very thin again, not rich at all. Generic wavy noodles Topping: Naruto was present....a big minus for me 😔(strictly personal preference) Honest opinion: For people who have never tried rich and flavorful japanese ramen, this place can be good. However, if you are a ramen Junkie like myself, you will be very, very, very disappointed. You can usually tell if the shop spent the time preparing the soup base and the tare. The soup doesn't necessarily have to be thick and rich in all the shops but I didn't even taste any pork bone flavor other ppl stated either. So for all the Ramen Junkies just save yourself a trip and try other places. For the business owner There are many tutorials even on YouTube on how to cook up a proper pork bone soup base and Tare. If you really want ppl to have an authentic taste of ramen noodle. Please use the time and effort to make an actual rich and flavorful soup. I don't think it takes that much more time and money from what you are spending now already.

⭐ 1 Star — Gaslighted Over Ramen Ten-Ichi Ramen, Brooklyn, NY Brunch maybe? Sure. But lunch was unprofessional at scale. I ordered karaage and asked for lemon—basic, standard, respectful gesture toward flavor. The waitress looked at me like I’d asked for moon cheese. When I said I wanted it, she warned, “It’ll be sour.” As if I didn’t know what lemon was for. Then, the bigger issue: the ramen. The noodles were plies away from fully cooked—raw in the center, the kind of bite that makes your jaw do push-ups. When I said that, she flat-out confirmed, “Yeah, it’s undercooked…” then immediately backpedaled: “But that’s how it’s supposed to be.” No apology, no offer to fix it—just altitude of arrogance. I asked for it to be removed from my bill. She resisted. Eventually I said, “Fine—take it off. I’m done.” Checked out early, asked to pay only for what was acceptable—end of story. This isn’t earned irreverence. It’s careless contempt. A ramen place should serve food not philosophy. If you want ramen done right—and staff with basic courtesy—skip Ten-Ichi.

The server at Tenichi was very respectful and attentive. He always gave warnings for the spice level of the food or how certain drinks may taste. He told me that the matcha here was more bitter than elsewhere. I appreciated that so much. The food here is also amazing. I think my favorite is the miso salmon ramen. The broth had so much flavor and even the spice wasn’t too much. Would go here again with my friends.

First thing first! They are cash only (do take zelle and venmo tho) so be prepared. I ordered the Tenchi Ramen, and it tasted fine but not close to authentic taste. The broth is not as rich as I expected it to be, and the chasu on top didn’t have much of the chasu flavor. It really just tasted like an Americanized ramen that you will find in an Asian restaurant in some random town. Considering that there’s so many great ramen places around NYC, I recommend you trying other places instead if you are looking for authentic ramen. If you are looking for a quick bite around, it’s not too bad.

For the price, this ramen was fantastic. Delicious toppings with a broth that wasn’t too fatty, but still has that deep flavor. We also ordered a bun, which was pretty good. $16 bowl of ramen can’t be beat.

Food was amazing service was friendly fast and attentive 10/10 will be back

I've recently developed a new affection for ramen and have been exploring various places in New York and New Jersey. It's wonderful to have so many flavors to try and enjoy. On a particularly cold day, we decided to try some ramen in Brooklyn. We had read great reviews about a certain place, which was enough to entice us. I ordered the chicken ramen and tenichi ramen as appetizers, along with veggie gyoza and shrimp tempura. Unfortunately, the chicken ramen didn’t meet my expectations; it tasted more like chicken soup and lacked a deep flavor. However, the tenichi ramen was much better. The veggie gyoza and shrimp tempura were also quite good. We ordered some green tea, but it was just regular bagged tea. I wasn't a fan of it. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and the place had a cozy atmosphere. The bathroom was also clean. One important note: they only accept cash. You can use Venmo or Zelle, or there’s an ATM available if you need to withdraw cash for your meal.

Food was fantastic. The owner was our server and he was great. The food came out in a timely manner and was hot and good. The chicken curry was perfectly crunchy and the sauce was great. The pork and chicken buns were top notch. Their Ramen was wonderful and they were completely finished. Great food, presentation, and atmosphere. Would recommend

We picked this place for late lunch based on the reviews when we were in the area. We were seated right away. It was a cold day so perfect for a bowl of ramen. I ordered a Spicy beef ramen. The broth was beefy and flavorful. It came with sufficient toppings and beef. Our food was great. Just a note, only cash or Zelle. But you can use the ATM that is located inside the restaurant.

Went for lunch special. Ten ichi ramen was mid. Not a lot of soup and soup itself was bland. Pork gyoza was mind and soggy. Quick service though so a reasonable spot for quick lunch. Does not accept credit card. Only venmo, zelle, cash, etc.

I'm pretty sure the original owners sold this franchise after covid because the quality is just not the same as pre-covid. My original review was back in 2018 so I've been a regular here for years and can honestly say I taste the difference. Their signature broth is thinner now and quite oily not to mention the flavor is not as good. On top of that, the 2 slice of char sui I got before is now just 1 slice cut in half. Not even my bowl of ramen is safe from Shrinkflation! I'm not sure if it's a bad sign when a ramen place offers poke bowls and other stuff because it can feel like they are trying to expand their menu so the original dishes suffers from the lack of love and attention.

Best ramen in NYC. I had the Rayu Beef Ramen. It was so flavorful and delicious. Broth was made from scratch. Servers were friendly and attentive. Great ambiance too. Highly recommend if you're in the area. A must try ramen spot in Brooklyn.

Back at our favorite place in Brooklyn for traditional Japanese Ramen! Always a solid place and very consistent in both amazing food and amazing customer service experience. A nice cozy place for either a date or bring your whole family and the vibe is always great. Make your way to Park Slope if you haven't had the chance yet to experience their ramen bowls with very fresh ingredients and an amazing broth base that is all natural with no powders or pre-mixes!

10/10 Ramen, 10/10 service. Definitely will be returning soon, best ramen spot in NYC Super cute decor as well, loved their bowls

My favorite local ramen spot! It's so cozy in here and everyone is so nice. Delicious, flavorful ramen, pork buns, apps, poke. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

Dined here last Saturday and it was an absolutely great choice given the variety of ramen spots in the area. It's a very cozy ramen spot and our waiter (forgot his name unfortunately) was very charming. My party ordered the Rayu Beef Ramen and the Miso Pork Chashu Ramen - both were incredibly flavorful and satisfying!

Based on the service and the freshly made miso broth alone, you've got a dedicated new customer in me! After a couple nights of being stuck in the hospital with my ill partner, I went out to get him some miso from Ten-Ichi, as he was placed on a liquid diet but was sorely craving ramen, and I was impressed by how kind the cashier was on the phone and in person and how proud he was of their miso, which he told me they make fresh right there, not from paste. Once I got it back for dinner, I could attest to its freshness. It also had the perfect level of spice as opposed to being watered down. I drank all of mine faster even than my ravenous partner did, because it was so good, and I am not much of a "soup person" typically.

Food was so bland. The ramen had no authentic flavor. Tasted like they boiled water with salt and threw some noodles in it. My girl and i ordered a kani salad, ten ichi ramen, and the spicy beef ramen There was only 2 small slices of cha siu in the ten ichi ramen and the spicy beef was literally hot pot beef. Basically instant ramen. Could have just made this in the dorms. Service was good which is probably the only highlight of the experience. If i could, would have left this at a 0/5. But since they were at least nice, 1/5. Cant recommend.

We got the Tenichi ramen and the beef ramen. Both were amazing, you can taste the difference in their broth. The thin sliced beef on my beef ramen was so tender and well seasoned. Service was also great and we had an unexpectedly fun time.

Wanted to branch out from my classic go to spot Ramen Danbo and tried the Ten Ichi Ramen and the Rayu Beef Ramen. The ramens tasted good on a winter evening, but definitely not on par with Ramen Danbo. I did like the ambiance of the seats facing the window. The Ten Ichi Ramen: The broth was strong and tasty, though a little overpowered with the black pepper flavor. Loved the wood ear mushrooms and the bok choy, but there wasn't as much of them. The pork chashu was tasty and the egg was not cold. Overall, enjoyed this ramen. Rayu beef ramen: The broth was not too spicy and had a nice beef bone broth kick. The menma (bamboo shoots) were great, but wish there was more of this ingredient in the dish. The sliced beef was a little tough but flavorful, nevertheless. Overall, enjoyed it less than the Ten Ichi Ramen, but still a good pick! They don't ask which type of noodles you'd want or how firm you'd like your noodles, which would have been a nice touch. The noodles do come firm though, which luckily fit my preference.

I really like tenichi, the service has always been great. I don't know if it's a doordash thing but the portions have become ridiculous. it's a 2 half pieces of pork. then I paid $4 for extra and it was 2 tiny pieces. there are cheaper places that give you more food in the area. $25 for noodles and broth.

Average ramen served promptly in a clean environment. Will do in a pinch if you are in the area but not a destination restaurant.

4.5/5 Tenichi Ramen (22nd Bowl out of 100) Ten Nichi Ramen - $15. Broth: 4.5/5. Has a very nice black garlic and fatty taste, however just a little overly oily. Chashu: 5/5. Has a nice charred flavor, fatty chew with the meat falling apart. Noodles: 5/5. Wavy noodles. Has a very bouncy chew even after being submerged in the broth for four minutes. Side Note: Egg: The egg had that nice deep soy sauce flavor. Appetizers Aigamo Bun: $5. Duck bun. Tastes like if you were to have a Peking duck bun but instead of hoisin sauce, it's with spicy mayo. An interesting combo and twist. Buta Bun: $5. Pork bun. Slightly thicker slices of chashu compared to the ones you get from the ramen. It was very delicious, plus there was a lot of juice in the meat. Shishito and Rock Shrimp Tempura: $10. Baby shrimp and pepper covered in tempura batter. Average, nothing special. Too much batter on the shrimp, but then again it is baby shrimp. It was fun eating the shishito peppers to see if it was spicy or not. It was a hit or miss. Pork Gyoza Home Made: $9. This plate was the best appetizer out of the four ordered. Although, it was slightly overly oily but delicious nonetheless. Total: $47.91

Cool spot, decent ramen but small portions! Will give it another shot, but it's the only time I've had a bowl of ramen and was still hungry afterwards!

Nothing too special - if you want an easy quick dinner, this could be a good choice. The shishito & rock shrimp tempura was good. The duck and pork belly buns weren't my favorites as you could barely taste the meats. The beef ramen had a nice kick, but did not have much ingredients included unless you added them a la carte. The Ten Ichi Ramen was normal.

Spicy pork ramen was delicious. House-made hot pepper sauce was amazing. Service by Teak was jovial and friendly. Food came quickly.

Service was amazing! Teak was super friendly and made great recommendations. This was some of the best ramen I've ever had! Had the veggie ramen and shrimp bun, both were fantastic. The ramen was a perfect portion of soup to noodles.

We got the chicken ramen which was good but not fantastic. I've definitely had better, this was nothing special. The service was very good though. And it's a cute little place with nice seating and decor.

Amazing food and service, Teek was a great server and all of his suggestions were incredible. We'll be back again!

Great little ramen noodle shop that's reasonably priced and follows Covid protocols. The chicken broth flavor is very rich and tasty. Portion is not huge but it is satisfying.

Absolutely perfect. I have no other words to say, everything was perfect. I recommend the chicken ramen.

Their kitchen is open where you can see through chefs and they can see you. One chef was very creepily staring at my girlfriend throughout the whole dinner. Food is not even good, very small piece of meat. Usually ramen spots offer free egg but over here you have to pay for scallion and egg lol

Great recommendations, very friendly service, food came quickly, and all was delicious! Veggie bun and veggie ramen with lots of yummy topping options!

So happy to see Ten-Ichi Ramen back in [takeout] business! Right before all of this craziness happened I was going there with my sister rather consistently because they're easily the best ramen joint in Park Slope and what's better than some warm ramen in February? Well now that they're back in August turns out you can't beat a warm ramen in all seasons because I can't stop thinking about it even now. Flavor is still there and even as take out the ramen packs a punch. They also separate the soup and the noodles to guarantee NOODLE INTEGRITY, perfect for my not too long walk from pick up to home. Broth as flavorful as ever and all the normal ingredients still there, unlike some other restaurants (no shade, things are still weird I get it, but it's been the case). I hope they can keep up through these uncertain times because I definitely miss dining in but what can you do--Take out until then!

The best! Amazing ramen and incredible service. Our go to place for a great, relaxing vibe with the best ramen around.

Could be the best ramen I've ever had, and service was wonderful. Got the beef ramen and the broth that they make in house was killer. Definitely recommend.

The ramen here has completely changed. I used to go all the time but started noticing the broth in the ten Ichi ramen was not as rich and flavorful as past years. They also changed the kind of mushrooms, noodle type and the amount of scallions in the dish. I thought it was just me but now seeing another review about new ownership it makes sense. So disappointing because this was my go to spot in Brooklyn.

I love this Ramen place. Great vibe. Affordable. I would recommend their signature ramen noodles. Take note bring your cash. This place only accepts cash but there is ATM machine inside.. Very friendly atmosphere.

Absolute favorite ramen place! We will easily make the 15 minute walk to get the ten ichi ramen. The chicken katsu is also delicious. Super friendly service too!!

I've been craving ramen and Ten-Ichi was the closest to work so I decided to come for lunch one day. I definitely recommend stopping by for lunch because they have awesome lunch specials and its quieter. They offer poke or ramen lunch specials. I choose the ramen lunch set with Ten Ichi ramen and pork gyoza for $13. Since I was the only customer, service and prep time for my food was extremely quick. The gyoza skin was so crispy, and the pork was to tender. They tasted great with the spicy sauce on the side. The ramen came out shortly after. Everything in the ramen was great. The pork was one of the most tender one's I've ever had with ramen. The egg was made perfectly. The only thing I disliked with the bowl was the broth. However, broth is basically the ramen to me. Although the other ingredients were great, I couldn't enjoy them as much with the broth. I don't wish to ban a restaurant based on one dish they serve, so I'll be returning to try their other ramen options. FYI this is a CASH Only restaurant but they have an atm machine out front!

Great Ramen place with lunch special on Saturday. The pork bone broth on Ten Ichi Ramen was delicious and you get two beautifully grilled thick pork belly. Tan Tan Ramen is good too, love the thick Ramen. The Buta Bun is a good size and very tasty. The Ichi wings was a bit disappointing. The crusted fell off the wings and too oily. I would recommend the noodles and broth be separate. My Ramen got a little too soft at the bottom of the bowl.

I had always liked this place before but today they sent me a poke bowl with a metal staple in the food! That could be dangerous, I nearly swallowed it! Never ordering again.

I ordered I chi ramen and added extra egg...and then After eating, I got gastroenteritis whole afternoon. I was tortured until my facial features were distorted. I took a few painkillers to feel better

The soup base is rich and subtle. However, the taste is not as flavorful as the other ramen joints I have tried. The tempura, on the other hand, is a little surprise. The peppers are crispy and fresh. The taste of the shrimps also pops too. Recommended.

Just visited yesterday and I am impressed! The broth was delicious, noodles were a little tough but the egg was soooooooo good and flavorful! Cooked to perfection with beautiful seasoning. Also ordered a veggie bun, a fried soft egg, fresh avocado, and fried tofu. Will definitely eat here again! The place was fairly empty but the food came out promptly. Staff was super friendly!

Solid Ramen restaurant. Great service great food. But what is up with deadbeat Sammi G's review. He has a great meal, great service and gives them 3 stars because he's a brokeass and is called out and embarrassed for not tipping. Stay home. Service staff get paid less because they are expected to get tipped. https://www.yelp.com/biz/ten-ichi-ramen-park-slope?hrid=7QbNg9rthSQsWzLKdUa_Yw&utm_source=ishare&utm_content=review

Cash only! Come prepared! There's a vegetarian option with spinach, mushroom, tofu, noodles, etc and miso broth that's reasonably priced, and plenty of options for fish and meat eaters. They have that fun lychee soda where you have to push the top down to send the ball fizzing into the bottle. There's also a lactose free milk drink if you order something spicy and need to cool your mouth! The vegetarian option is too plain for that...

Came here on a Friday for lunch. It was empty when we arrived so I was a little suspicious at first. I figured it was probably too hot for people to want ramen. We both ordered the lunch special, which came with an appetizer and ramen. We got the gyoza and the ichi wings as appetizers and the classic ramen. The gyoza and chicken were both pretty good. The gyoza was crispy and the chicken had a nice sauce. The ramen itself had a rich, creamy broth that I enjoyed. I'm not always the biggest fan of ramen noodles(I prefer thicker noodles), but these were chewy and slightly al dente. The ramen came with half an egg of the perfect yolk consistency. I like my yolk as a thick gel consistency, and that's exactly how it was. It also came with bok choy, mushrooms, and thinly sliced pork. The pork was tender and fatty. There were a lot of noodles in this serving, and I couldn't finish it all. Overall, the food here was good, but there are so may restaurants in Brooklyn to try that I'm not sure it was good enough to go back to.

This review is for vegetarian and vegan people. Stopped by here on my quest to find the best vegetarian ramen. They only have one vegetarian ramen but its very good! One of the best veggie ramen bowls I have had. Only wish they had stronger hot sauce as thier housemade sauce was a bit bland. Also would be nice if they had more than one vegetarian option like I have seen at other ramen places. I recommend thier lunch deal where you can get ramen and and appetizer for $14. See below for more on each item we tried. Vegetarian / veggie ramen:The broth was what made this ramen stand out it was a very thick creamy smooth broth almost like coconut milk! Also I liked that the tofu added was fried and seasoned and not just bland cubes. Veggie bun: Was very flavorful and included avocado, tofu, and kimchi! Bao bun was also great. Highly recommend.

Ignore all the reviews! This is the newest and this place changed ownership. Walking in already something was off - it was the Ac. No more beers on tap either, you can get a warm bottle of Orion and if you are lucky the waitress will offer you a glass, which is even warm No water. I order one portion of gyoza, the recipe still the same, but the sauce is gone. The ramen is now something from a package that you can buy in the supermarket and prepare it at home. So sad that the owners changed. I used to go to this restaurant every week.

The food was really good. We went there tonight and they allow us in as the last table. The server was really nice and accomodating. The patio area was nice as well and the service was quick. The food was also really god and it was a good deal. We paid about $80 for a party of 3.

Great spot, great service, great food. You are not entitled to a tip, it's voluntary. A waitress ran to catch up with us when we were already down the block and around the corner. She wanted to remind me that I didn't tip..... First off, you doing your baseline job duties doesn't earn you a tip. I tip well when I feel the service was exceptionally unique and above average. Here's a tip: The workforce is stagnant and unemployment is the highest it's ever been. I spent almost $60 for a full meal for 2, instead of buying a weeks worth of groceries. I chose your establishment over many others, I chose your establishment over saving money/groceries. That was embarrassing and unappreciative, I'll say again...your service is your job and tips aren't entitled.

The duck buns as appetizers were good. We also got takoyaki and it was alright. I'm most disappointed about the ramen. I had higher expectations for the ramen. I love ramen and have tried many different places but this one is def not one that I wold come back to. The server who was serving us was extremely nice. Customer service was above and beyond.

I wasn't satisfied at all with my last visit here. There was nothing special about my miso salmon ramen. My order took close to half-an-hour to be prepared even though the restaurant was nowhere near full capacity. After waiting nearly half-an-hour for my food, I was expecting the best bowl of ramen that I've ever had in my life, but no. The miso salmon ramen came with miso-glazed salmon, spicy ground pork, kimchi, kikurage mushroom and menma pork bone broth. Despite being advertised as spicy, neither the brother nor the "spicy" ground pork was even remotely spicy. Everything was pretty much bland and tasteless even with the table side chili paste added into my broth. Normally, if I think the ramen is good, I would devour everything including the soup. That wasn't the case here. Overall, I would not recommend Ten-Ichi at all. There are far better ramen places in the city that you can get for the $18 after tip/tax I spent here. Also, they only accept cash, but there is an ATM on-site.

Pros: Clean Open kitchen Friendly staff Location Cons: Slightly overpriced for the quality and quantity Lacks specialty

Highly recommend this restaurant, everything is so great, especially the duck buns and takoyaki. The noodles are al dente in noodle soup way.

Ramen is supposed to be flavorful. Not the case. Chicken tasted like cardboard how over cooked it was. This was take out so I see the effort they put into those meals. Will take my business else where . I'm thoroughly disappointed
