Enjoyed the miso ramen. It was rich and had full body flavor! Dining area is also comfortable.
This place was really good and the portions were huge! We tried a fun peach sparkling cocktail that was delicious. Also the service was so fast, we were surprised by how quickly our food came! Also was not busy at all during a weekday dinner time, easily got a table. The bibimbap was delicious, and they were able to modify it to be vegetarian and add tofu instead of pork! It was so hot and fresh I loved it, as well as the bonus miso soup that came with it! Will definitely come back :D
A really solid place for ramen, sushi, and rice bowls. The ramen was the best part. The noodles were appropriately soft, the tan tan broth was nice and spicy with a rich flavor, and the garnishes were well balanced. The veggie tempura was weaker - I wasn't sure what veggie I was getting when I bit into it! Just seemed like fried dough. The agedashi tofu was also something of a disappointment; not enough lightness fried texture on the outside, and only 2 pieces of tofu, with way too much ginger and scallion. The caterpillar roll, eel and avocado, was quite decent. In short, I'd say focus on the ramen! But it's still a good place for other items as well.
Totally fine ramen spot by NYU. Super appreciate that the hot tea is free and the service is friendly and prompt. The ramen can be heavy on the scallions and onion, yes. Just let it cook in the broth so they soften. Broth is mild, which I preferred. I guess the full egg in your bowl is not a thing anymore based on the half egg I got and the photos I'm seeing lol.
Food is consistently good, very close and homely, they greet you when you enter and service is always nice.
