Spacious place, nice vibe and great options on the menu. The gyoza was juicy and flavorful. Got the oh so hot ramen. The broth was heavenly, very soothing in winter. The ground chicken and pork were well made and tasted great. Over all a great spot.

Our family had dinner here during our trip to NYC. We picked it based on the good reviews and we happened to be nearby. Our service was good and the food was excellent! I ordered the special of the day ramen(forgot the name). The broth was so flavorful! We also ordered a few other ramen, the Salmon Poke bowl(recommended by our server) and some appetizers. We'll definitely be back whenever we're in NYC again!

My favorite ramen spot in the city. Perfect for a late meal after a Broadway show. I’ve tried almost every ramen on the menu — including the vegan options — and they’re all packed with flavor. The broth is consistently rich and delicious. My top pick is the Zebra Shio. I usually get the gyoza too — super juicy and yummy. Highly recommended!

After exploring numerous ramen spots in NYC, this has likely secured a top spot on my list. The Zebra ramen is amazing. The broth has this creaminess that is clean and flavorful. The chashu perfectly complements the broth. While I generally prefer thin noodles, these are not overly thick and still pretty good!

We really love this restaurant. It’s on a really cute blog and the restaurant is beautifully decorated. We ordered a bunch of things, including the oh so spicy miso Ramen, the wasabi marinated raw octopus, chicken carriage, and the poke bowl. Everything was really really good and just hit the spot!

One of the top notch ramen near theater district. Their appetizers were amazing as well. The ramen broth is flavorful. We had 6:30 pm reservation but we were early. They sat our family early. Highly recommended for ramen lovers.

This is some amazing ramen, but make sure to read the descriptions as you will get what they say. We got the EAK and the umami mushroom with the chicken boa. The boa was a little lackluster, but we did just come from the Christmas market and had some tasty boa there. The ramens each had very distinct profiles. The EAK was heavy and salty, almost like taking the drippings and mixing them with butter, a salty creamy broth. The mushroom was a rabbit's delight it tasted like a salad had been juiced then strained. Both were good in their own ways.

This is the second time I’ve eaten here when visiting New York. This time we had a late lunch, the place was nice and quiet, perfect for a pre flight meal. My colleague had the Oh so hot with a seasoned egg. And I had the vegan ramen with a spice bomb. I love that this place does the toppers for free. So full of flavour, a rich broth with perfectly cooked noodles and veg. I also tried the agedashi tofu which was soo tasty, the tofu was soft with a light batter and the sauce kind of sweet and buttery. The lychee soda was also soft with a refreshing and delicious. The staff are so helpful with menu and it’s a speedy service.
