Unoriginal Noodles

the owner malcolm puts so much care and heart into all of the dishes. the food is all from scratch, but very reliable and consistent. the portions are healthy but not overwhelming. the dining room is comfortable and not overwhelming. such a delightful neighbourhood spot and well worth the trek to dine at. the food stays so good after multiple visits. the day after i dine here i crave it again! highly recommend. so many vegan and vegetarian and gluten free options! food for everyone and multiple options for all eating styles.

Unexpectedly amazing ramen! We had been meaning to stop by for awhile, but now that we have visited, we will be sure to go back soon. We got the mochi fried tofu at the recommendation of the server and it was delicious. And for ramen we both got the chicken ramen which came with a whole chicken leg with meat that literally just fell off the bone just by using chopsticks. The drinks were really good too! Will be back to try the tonkotsu ramen soon!

We had a wonderful experience at Unoriginal Noodles! We ordered the mochi fried tofu, spicy pickles, sweet and spicy duck wings, chicken ramen, seafood ramen, and spicy Taiwanese beef noodle soup. All dishes were excellent (esp the mochi fried tofu and each of the ramen bowls! 🍜🔥). Malcolm, the chef/owner, couldn’t be nicer or more hospitable. The ambience of the restaurant was very pleasant and the restaurant is kid-friendly (which I appreciate with a 6 month-old baby!). Came here with family and friends and we will all be back again soon — make sure you don’t miss out!

The ramen noodle with confit chicken was so ORIGINAL despite the name of the place. Confit chicken is rarely on a menu and this one was particularly delicious. The flavors were so rich and complex. I will return and it is going to be hard to order anything else as I keep thinking how good and restorative is this dish. The tofu appetizer was also outstanding; so delicate. The light crunch of the crust and the silkiness were delightful. Can’t wait to go back!

Fantastic food that is both authentic and innovative! All the ramen dishes my group tried were terrific, and the appetizers are great too, particularly the duck wings and the mochi fried tofu. Ambiance and service are great as well, just a really nice place to hang out!

Unoriginal Noodles is really a master class in doing ramen the right way. Many times, I’ve left ramen restaurants feeling like I just had fast food. The food is either too rich or too salty, and they don’t use high-quality ingredients. Unoriginal noodles feel like you’re sitting in someone’s living room, and they've slaved away in the kitchen to make you the freshest and most delicious ramen from scratch. If you have not been here, you should really try it. Not to mention, they have lots of other delicious things on the menu. If your kids are picky eaters, they also have pretty simple ramen for kids, with just broth and noodles. This restaurant is on a quiet street on Sixth Avenue and can easily be overlooked, but you should not miss it. It's a neighborhood gem that really should be supported since the quality of its food is superb! The service is also excellent! 

The chef, Malcolm was wonderful to begin with. We ordered taiwanese beef noodle soup as well as the spicy duck wings as an appetizer. We also got the Shirley Temple to drink, and all the parts of the meal were absolutely wonderful. We stumbled upon this place by accident and will definitely be coming back whenever in town. The chef along with the waiter were super welcoming and even spent time talking with us.

Unoriginal noodles is a humble name for an absolutely brag worthy bowl of noodles. I had the tonkatsu and the pork was some of the best I’ve had in a bowl of soup. The noodles were perfectly chewy and the broth was rich yet delicate. A great bowl! But don’t sleep on the apps. The duck wings were a knockout and the fried tofu was an incredible surprise. It almost chewed like a light mozzarella stick. I can’t wait to go back for the signature beef noodle bowl. Def a top noodle spot for my book.

I only have had their Spicy Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup but it was AWESOME. Noodles were a perfect consistency and the broth was wonderful - spicy for sure but not overpowering. I was underwhelmed by one of their rice beer cans, but next time I'll try a cocktail instead. It's a neighborhood vibe: there may be people on dates and there may be kids with their parents. Service was friendly, and there seemed to be a bunch of regulars. Definitely give this place a try after a winter walk through Green-Wood!

Really loved the decode and vibe of this place. The food was so good! The chicken ramen was out of this world and the spicy lotus pickles were really tasty. Even though there was a little hold up with our order the staff was kind and helpful. Really happy to have it in the neighborhood and looking forward to returning.

Amazing new spot in the neighborhood. We did takeout tonight but will be back for a visit soon! The spicy beef noodle soup has a bit of a kick and plenty of meat. Lots of chicken in the chicken ramen as well. Both dishes had high quality noodles and robust broths. Delicious flavor and textures!

We loved our ramen, this seems like a hidden gem - excited to come again... the food and service and Brooklyn vibes +++

If you are looking for quality ingredients, great dining experience at a fair price, look no further. My partner and I had been wanting to try this place, and we were instantly blown away by the unique combination of authenticity and creativity. We tried the Taiwanese beef noodle soup and the chicken ramen. The broth and noodles complemented each other so well. The meat, combined with other toppings, created a solid feast. Malcom, the owner, and Ahmed, the waiter, made the space warm and welcoming. They treated us with a mochi fried tofu appetizer, which is beyond delicious (the texture of mochi and tofu creates such an pleasant contrast, and the sauce is so good that we keep dipping the noddles in it after we finished the mochi tofu). We greatly appreciate the efforts they put into uploading their high standards (their broth is made from high-quality organic ingredients sourced from upstate). We feel very grateful to have such a quality place in our neighborhood. Highly recommend checking out this spot for a great dinning experience.

Went for the 1st time and the seafood Raman was delicious! You can really taste the fresh ingredients. The staff was super friendly, and the owner, Malcolm, just moved to the neighborhood. Definitely worth a visit!
