    Lovely open air spot by the water in Williamsburg. Was able to get seated right away on the weekend. Ordered two small appetizers (crispy egg & crispy bok choy) which were fantastic & one entree, which I forgot what it was called but it was a cold broth with noodles, char sui and veggies (don't recommend as it had a rather bland taste to it). I would give this spot another try, but maybe for the ramen next time around lol

    I went back to Afuri Ramen, and even with the snowstorm brewing, the place was busy. Due to that we weren't seated right away. However, didn't have to wait long. We ended up sitting in the back at an elevated tabletop with high top seats near the bar. We asked if they could put the basketball game on and they were accommodating. We were very appreciative. Also noticed how the menu had changed since our last visit. Since they added the Wagyu Ramen, Yuzu Edamame, Buta Gyoza and Tori Karaage had to get those. The standout dish for me was the edamame. It was very flavorful. The ramen, was disappointing and underwhelming. The broth tasted very meaty and game, which wasn't what I expected. Everything else was fine. Regarding the service it was a bit slow, due to how busy the place was and the large party seated in the room behind us. Overall, it wasnt a bad experience, but definitely different from the last visit.

    The hazelnut tan tan (plant based) is still my favorite from here and sometimes I'd order delivery to have it! Really creamy and flavorful I was surprised to see the sports bar theme here because it's totally different from the vibes in Japan. Looks like it's blending in with the local culture, though!

    Crispy Ramen Egg
    Olivia C.

    The space is large and the atmosphere is lively but cozy. Karaage - this was nice. There was a sauce on the side but not sure if it really helped compliment the dish but it was ok Egg - I liked it. The sauce was super flavorful. We asked our waiter if we could get both cut in half and they made a note but they forgot to do it Ramen - I like the hint of yuzu , gives it almost a seafood like taste. Feels less oily / fatty because it's not the pork based broth but at the same time it isn't at rich. It is nice though to have - contrasted from typical creamier ramen.

    This place specializes in yuzu- I ordered the yuzu shio ramen and it tasted light and refreshing. I do wish they gave more slices of protein. There was a good amount of noodles though. This restaurant is huge so I think it'd be a place for large parties. They also have private seating if needed.

    Spicy crispy gyoza
    Mark S.

    The food here was good, but I was a little disappointed. I felt like the broth was just lacking flavor. I was expecting it to have a little bit more of a punch to it. I did think the spicy crispy gyoza were pretty good, though. Considering all the great ramen options in the area, I wouldn't rush back here. I do like the atmosphere. It is very spacious and comfortable, and the service was good. I just felt like the food was lacking.

    Afuri Roll
    Jacky C.

    Came here for dinner on a weekday. I am amazed by how massive this space is for a ramen shop. They can probably host two/three different events if they wanted to. I got to try a bit of everything with a few friends. What I would not recommend are the hand rolls as they only give you one sliver of fish and the rest is rice for $9. For appetizers, I enjoyed the Hamachi Tartare ($23), essentially instead of tuna tartare, with yellowtail instead. I also recommend the Hamachi Carpaccio ($20) Since it was a ramen shop, we felt obligated to order one ramen dish, although they had soo many other offerings. We decided on the Tonkotsu Shio ($19). You can watch them made your ramen, if you're interested in that as it's an open kitchen concept. It's as good as you would expect. Not really advertised in their store name is that they also sell sushi. Unlike the hand roll, these are more worth it. We ordered the Soft Shell Crab Roll ($19) and the Afuri Roll ($20), both were great. And if you're not really interested in eating, maybe you want to catch a sports game, they have a bar in this warehouse turned restaurant space. Plenty to TV screens and they have a very extensive cocktail, sake, and wine menu. You can even get a flight of sake or Japanese whiskey ($25) if you fancy that. So yeah....there's something for everybody, hopefully. If you're looking for comments on the dumplings, unfortunately out of everything we tried, the dumplings was one thing we failed to order. :(

    Tonkotsu Tantan
    Alana K.

    My friend and I came here for dinner on a Thursday night. We made reservations, but they weren't really necessary. It's a huge restaurant! I had the tonkotsu tantan, which was made with tonkatsu broth. It was topped with pork (I subbed the pork crumbles for pork chashu), bok choy, mushrooms, and chili oil, and the noodles were quite thick. It was delicious, especially the broth.

    Poke Salmon Tacos
    Alexander R.

    Came here on a hot day given the nice selection of cold options on their menu - the salmon poke tacos were a 10/10, perfect flavors and texture! I could eat a dozen of these. The yuzu tsukemen was decent, but the broth could've used a bit more balance - super heavy on the citrus flavor. I'd probably recommend trying one of the other ramen options. This place has a massive interior, probably one of the biggest restaurant I've seen in NYC. Service was fast and friendly, and I loved the free yuzu gummies!

    CRISPY.RAMEN.EGGS. DELICIOUS!!
    Quandra T.

    I rate this place a solid 4.5, only because it is a bit pricey, but SUCH a lovely experience. I write this review as a I consume my leftover Yuzu-Tsuyu. Because a 90-degree day is not stopping me from getting ramen if I wanna, and this was my first time trying tsukemen! Now the heavenly tastebud experience you'll have here is with the CRISPY RAMEN EGGS. My Lord, do not pass this up. It's basically deep-fried eggs with a crispy coating, but with that same "over-medium" yolky inside you get with ramen eggs. So simple, yet so PHENOMENAL. And they come in this WIZARD SAUCE (they call it "spicy aioli" but this might be some of the top aioli I've ever had). You MUST get this starter if you come here. The Tsukune (pork meatballs) is also an interesting flavor experience, and quite tender. Now a glass of plum wine would have made a fantastic addition to this meal, in my opinion, but they don't have that here. :( I don't see a drink menu on their website, but there's this blueberry cocktail at the top of the list that I found delicious, so go for that one. Also, I failed to take pictures of the incredible space; this place is spacious (there's a whole 2nd bar in the back), aesthetically-pleasing, kind of a modern-industrial vibe going on, ridiculously high ceilings, and the front of the restaurant was simply open, so we got the table DIRECTLY next to the outside seating for the best of both worlds on a warm summer night. Also, our waitress VANESSA was the SWEETEST person, SO so helpful as we narrowed down our picky options, just such a good vibe, you need to give her whatever waitress-of-the-month/year/whatever trophy or something. HIGHLY recommend you come here!

    solid ramen spot in the hood with plenty of space! we came on a holiday weekend and were seated without an issue. tonkatsu ramen was super flavorful. the broth was rich and creamy and doesn't leave that sticky feeling afterwards like some other places. however the best thing we ate was actually the spicy karaage! don't skip out on the chicken!!!! our waitress was also excellent. she was attentive and cracked a few jokes with us. looking forward to returning!

    I can't believe there is an afuri here in New York now! The last time I tried this place was in Portland and I can't believe they finally made mark in NYC. This is actually one of my fave places to take vegans because their hazelnut ramen is very good (saying as a meat eater). I love that this place is below superior ingredients. After a day party in sweltering heat all I wanna do is sit in Air conditioner and eat cold noodles and this place did the trick for me. Their yuzu cold noodles hit the spot and my girlfriend ate hot noodles but I think they gave her wavy noodles instead of straight noodles but I think we were so hungry we didn't really think to change it. It shows thin noodles on their menu but oh well. It seems like they didn't realize. The service was good and nothing amazing but nothing out of the blue. I'm glad I tried it and it seems super convenient- I know I'll be back next time I go to Superior Ingredients!

    The ambience and service of this restaurant were 10/10. That said, the food was not particularly special in my opinion. Perhaps I'm not a big fan of yuzu ramen but it wasn't for me.

It's quite busy but the turnover rate is quick. The restaurant is small but has a good amount of tables and counter seating. But I've got to say I am disappointed by my overall experience based on how popular this spot is. You order from a menu you can write on, which allows you to customize your ramen selections (noodle thickness, broth, add-ons, etc). I ordered the tonkotsu ramen with spicy added. While the broth is pretty good, I think the overall ramen is a bit lacking compared to other ramen spots. I did not realize the ramen did not come with any ingredients besides the chashu meat and some scallions sprinkled on top. So this spot really requires you to customize and add on toppings. Usually other ramen spots already have selection of toppings in each type of bowl. So overall, my ramen was pretty standard and nothing outstanding. I do appreciate that you can add half or full serving of extra noodles for $1-2 if you want more. Also, like others mentioned, Ramen Danbo received a C health code rating. I didn't see this until halfway through my meal, but I probably would not have ate here if I saw it beforehand. Quite appalling for a restaurant that doesn't even have an extensive menu. Overall, the service is okay... I can't say I had any particular issues BUT I just felt like all the servers gave off the vibe that they just hated their jobs or something. It was just the vibe I got but it could just be me.

We searched Yelp and came across Konoba Yakitori, and it absolutely hit the spot.

Everything we ordered was fresh, cooked to perfection, and reasonably priced. We had the gyoza, edamame, Hamachi Lover, Ebi Shu Mai, and the $15 Beef Set (three beef skewers), accompanied by hot tea and Ramune. The beef skewers were a highlight--tender meat with seasoning that was spot-on. Warm, welcoming, prompt, and super efficient. The entire staff was friendly and accommodating, and our waiter was extremely helpful in guiding us through the menu. Top-tier service all around. The space is small and cozy with a simple, comfortable design. Seating is a bit tight and close to neighboring tables, but there's nothing wrong with being snug, rght? It gets busy, but customers tend to eat quickly, so even without reservations, the wait moves well. Most importantly, despite it being a intimate spot, we never felt rushed at all.

The tables are a bit small and tight though, so they brought out our food in courses. We started off with the Kaishin Don ($45), which was perfectly plated over a bed of rice. This one came with a good amount of uni, which was much appreciated. Then we had the Ozakaya Donburi Set ($49), which is such a fun one. You have a raw egg to mix into your seafood bowl accompanied with some pickled veggies and sliced sashimi. Once you've ate more than half your bowl, you can get a broth that finished cooking your fish and turning the rice into porridge. The broth is savory and tangy, which gives it such a nice and refreshing flavor. We enjoyed both of these dishes a lot and it was fun to make your own handrolls. Then came the Mentai Pasta ($19), which is sadly one of the worst things I've ever ate. Not only was there barely any Mentai flavor, but the mayonnaise completely overpowered everything. I couldn't get over how I might as well have ate a spoonful of mayo on its own; that's how rich and heavy this dish was. The bacon was overcooked as well but somewhat cut all the mayo. I even tried to add some soy sauce but there was no saving this pasta. We ended up tossing the rest of the dish and I am not one to waste food. I even tried to complain to the waitress but she just ignored it. It was unfortunate because the other dishes we had were amazing. Luckily we were still able to end on a good note as we ordered the Oshiruko ($12) for dessert. This came with two scoops of matcha ice cream, grilled mochi, and red bean. Everything went well together and the matcha was strong. It's wild how good and bad some of the dishes were here. Definitely stick to the sushi and rice bowl dishes and whatever you do, DO NOT order the mentai pasta unless you love mayo.

First: got combo B which was the perfect amount for 2 people since it included an appetizer, 2 ramens, 2 desserts and 2 drinks. Left very filled and happy.

The tonkotsu and miso ramens were good, but not particularly notable. Kyuramen is a chain after all, so the food quality gives that same vibe as comforting when you're just craving some. Second: Got the yakitori platter, beef ramen (seasonal) and curry ramen and I'd personally pass on all of them. Their meats are over cooked which makes them tough. Both times the service was fine, I appreciate the call button so both don't have to wait for awkward timing issues. I do like the aesthetic of the place, especially with the privacy of the room shades/dividers. p.s. don't forget their slurp and win program! When you drink all the broth, there's a word on the bottom (or not) where you can get a free popcorn chicken/drink/etc for your next visit. I thought the chances would be pretty slim, but I got a drink voucher my second time!

The rosemary oil was very subtle (cool presentation as it was provided in a dropper!) The noodles were perfect--chewy and bouncy. I thought the 2 slices of pork were thin but tender, also more lean and not fatty (not as ideal so did not melt in your mouth). Expensive for a bowl with little meat ($23). I did not use the miso paste as I did not love the aftertaste, which admittedly could be why the broth lacked flavor to me! Nagoya Miso Katsu-Don (N/A): I tried a little of the dish.

    The food here is amazing! I come here regularly and the waiters and service are always so attentive…read moreand quick to anything. The price for the bowl is also amazing, I ordered the Ajimi UWO and it was $13.50. It was so flavorful and the cha siu is so tender. The ajimi fries are also pretty good. I liked the purple yam fries since i've never had that before and the chew and texture and flavor was different from the usual fry. The ambiance is also very good it can fit parties more than 10 and they have a free pool table you can play with! There's great lighting and the bathroom is super clean and pretty as well!

    Everything before the ramen and beers feel kind of pricey and this place is cash only and the broth…read morebase is not the usual pork base but chicken base. The amount of noodles is decent and the toppings are pretty good the egg actually come with both half's rather than one like some places so that's good, my only gripe is that the cha siu isn't heated through after being served which tells me that they didn't torch it for long enough before serving. That usually also makes it less tender as the middle is still a little coagulated from being chilled prior. I would also assume that chicken broth is less calorie dense than pork so I also felt less guilty drinking it all. The staff is friendly and quick enough with the service and they also have rotation test menu items which is nice but there's a few items on their regular menu they are always out of like their oyster pancake

    This was our second visit, and both times delivered a great meal. It is an intimate spot, and…read morewalking in on a weekday morning meant we had the place entirely to ourselves. Soft Japanese music played in the background, creating a calm, relaxing setting. They started us off with hot tea while we looked over the morning menu. Breakfast keeps things simple with a single set meal where you choose your fish, select how many vegetable sides you want, and add optional extras. Our cook was friendly and skilled at the counter. Our set included roasted cod, white rice, miso soup, tamagoyaki, tsukemono, and seasoned vegetables. Every single item tasted fresh and well-balanced. Between the quiet setting and the quality of the cooking, it was a standout morning.

    Came here a long time ago bc I heard how good their sushi sets are. If you are a sushi lover and…read morewant something homey you will definitely like Okonomi. It's nonfussy, and although not the cheapest sushi, it's definitely not super expensive/omakase level. It's a small space with a giant bar for seating and maybe a few tables - the owners are definitely passionate about Japanese cuisine and you can definitely feel that as you chat with them a bit. The menu is small, but dedicated to quality, and you will make your choice quite quickly. All the fish was fresh, large pieces, and really really clean tasting. The soup was delightful and paired wonderfully and everything was presented quite nicely. The grilled fish was also tasty and really tender.
