The noodles here are ! Great ramen options I had the uni mushroom ramen (which is dry / no broth) and it was beyond delicious - was incredibly impressed. They served a good portion (which felt needed given the $24 price tag) so I had left overs to take home as well. If you're a mushroom pasta lover - this hits all the right notes in the same way. Super umami and rich, definitely on the heavier side but it's a nice treat. I also tried the broth if my friend's pork bone ramen and it was legit - exactly what you would want/expect read more

This is my first experience at Jun-Men Ramen Bar and I would say it was pretty good. The space is not big, but still fit a good amount of people. Luckily the time I went (early Thursday evening) wasn't too busy and packed. My friend and I ordered two sake-tails to start and they were refreshing and had a good amount of sake. As appetizers, we ordered the pork buns and crunchy shrimp. One order of pork bun comes with 2, so it was perfect - one per person. There was more than one piece of pork belly in it and combining it with the bag and pickles made it so good. The crunchy shrimp was crispy and flavorful despite it being drenched in sauce. The sauce did get overwhelming at one point, but was still good. We then shared the Uni Mushroom Mazemen and it was delicious. I do wish there were more pieces of Uni compared to the noodles. There was definitely a lot of the mushroom umami flavor throughout. To end the meal, we had the matcha cheesecake, which was just okay. Not the best I've had. The texture wasn't as smooth as I expected and the slices were pretty small. The meal overall was satisfying. A little on the expensive side, but no surprise there since it is located in the city. read more

I really enjoyed the spicy chicken ramen. The noodles were perfect and the broth was savory and delicious. The right amount of chili oil made it perfectly spicy. The service in wonderful and food came out nice and hot. read more

Let's cut to the chase. It was an acceptable bowl of ramen but didn't really distinguish itself. The toppings and noodle were above average but the broth which pulls it all together was one dimensional. The flavors were monotone and did not properly fused together. I understand inflation is getting out of hand but for $21 I expect it to beat out a majority of $15 ramen bowls which it did not. I thought the seats were uncomfortable. The service was great though. I had higher expectations based on reviews but maybe things has changed. read more

Came by this place after visiting the vessel. A very small and cozy ramen restaurant. There was limited seatings. When we were seated, there was people waiting outside for a table. Good variety of options but it is very pricey.. I got the spicy pork bone and I loved it but wish it was spicer. The broth was super favorable and it is not too salty. I might come back and try something else cause of the pricing. Also this is not a restaurant where you can sit and chat for hours with your friends because it is so busy and with limited seatings. People are waiting outside for a table. read more

This is one of my favorite ramen places for pork bone broth. I got the spicy pork bone broth and as always, it's light unlike other pork broths which is why it's one of my favorites. My friends enjoyed their pork bone ramen and poke bowl as well. We came in on a Friday evening, and there was no wait which was great. Waitress was also attentive. Quality is still on par with when I came here prior to the pandemic. read more

Pretty solid ramen spot in the Chelsea area. We had the spicy pork broth which I think is basically a tungkatsu. The fried rice was also solid.

The wait staff seem to rush people in and out and didn't let someone use the bathroom without buying I felt the service was a bit prickly.

Jin-Men Ramen Bar is one of the best spots for ramen in the city. On 9th Avenue in Chelsea, it is a small and very attractive ramen shop with some of the best ramen I've had outside of Japan.

Ramen is great for a chilly fall day in NYC. Found this place thru Yelpers and discovered it's a "50 must try in NYC". We had the pork buns, they were flavorful. The sweet Potato fries had a sweet glazed that gave them an amazing twist to flavor. The pork bone ramen broth was sufficiently fatty, not too heavy like I like it, and flavored perfectly, and all other ingredients paired well w the ramen overall. The noodles were slightly over cooked but otherwise a great meal on a chilly day. read more

I liked this ramen bar, but I've had better at other places in NYC. The spot is small and cute. They also have outdoor seating so that's nice if you're not comfortable eating indoors. The staff was very welcoming, but service wasn't that great. For me it's really the small things that mean a lot. I was seated and nobody came to pour me a glass of water - the bottle was just sat on my table and then next time the waiter came back was to take my order. I ordered a sake (which came in a can that was difficult to open) and had to call someone over to help. I just felt like nobody was really attentive, but when it came time to tip - they lowest pre-selected option was 20% -.- I barely got 10% service. Anyways, the food was okay. The spicy pork bone ramen taste good, not too spicy. The pork was dry though and the ramen lacked veggies, which I like. It was scallions more than anything. I asked for extra veggies like the ones that come in the veggie ramen and didn't get those (still was charged the extra $1 tho). The sake is okay. They don't have any hot sake. And it is a lot of sake for an order, but I don't think the sake is strong. Anyways, good for a quick lunch I guess, but not impressed. read more

Jun-Men Ramen Bar - Spicy Pork Bone - Ramen Near Me - New York, New York

tl;dr this is a solid ramen location that serves satisfactory pork bone ramen and a highly unique noodle dish that you won't find anywhere else. The ambience is cozy and an overall great restaurant to visit if you're looking for a homey, lowkey meal. My party and I arrived here after an exhausting leg day workout. We were famished and were met with a small, intimate setting that was Jun-Men Ramen Bar. In terms of the food, the pork bone ramen was your typical tonkotsu ramen in the city and got the job done. Simple as that. However, the real showstopper was their dry uni mushroom ramen served with uni, roasted pancetta, porcini butter, truffle oil, fried shallots, scallion, parmesan cheese. This was something I'd never tasted before and was packed with umami richness. read more

Food was okay. I didn't like the broth. It was pretty mediocre. I wish there was more protein or veggies in it. The noodle texture was great though. Pretty average place.

The food really exceeded my expectations. Pork Bone Ramen- Perfect taste and texture. The pork belly was so delicious and tender! Definitely one of the best ramen I've ever had. ($16) Uni Mushroom Mazemen- I was really hesitant to try this because I've had negative experiences with sea urchin before, but my cousin convinced me to try it. What a great decision. The uni was creamy and tasty. The truffle scent and taste was light and enjoyable. It was an extremely flavorful dish. ($19) read more

I got the spicy pork ramen ($19) for lunch. The broth is moderately strong, but hope it could be stronger. The service was really great. It was decent and great, but pricey, but considering it is in Chelsea which is what the price in this neighborhood. The noodles are not al dente, but more wheat like which I also like. The portion size was small so if you are trying to lose weight or want a smaller lunch, it would be perfect to come here. read more

I've been here 3 times - each time a pretty different experience depending on the time of day. If you're here for dinner on a weekend it can be pretty packed, but I've never had to wait longer than 5 minutes for a table. Lunch time on a Saturday isn't busy at all, so you don't feel rushed and you could go with a small group. We tried the fries that everyone raves about, it was very interesting and I was a huge fan of the sauce. It can be a bit much, and split among 3 of us it was more than enough. Their ramen broth has a nice heartiness to it without being too salty. Service is quick, and quality has been consistent throughout my visits. I'd recommend a visit! read more

In the Chelsea area, at the late lunch hour, stumbled onto Jun-Men and discovered an excellent lunch spot. Stepped inside this small Ramen Bar and we were greeted and immediately seated. Water was brought and I ordered a Junmai sake. Started with an order of the Chicken Wings. 4 pieces of double fried chicken wings glazed with jun-men sauce. Excellent. Wings were salty & crispy, but that glaze added sweetness. Jun-Men Fried Rice. Chinese sausage, kimchi, fried egg, tobiko, micro basil. I loved this fried rice. Inhaled. Pork Bone Ramen. Chashu, kikurage, menma, egg, scallion, black oil. I was a fan of the Ramen, too! Alternating bites between the fried rice and ramen. Service was friendly and efficient. Food exceeded my expectations and wish I could have ordered more food, but alas, was too full. read more

We ate outdoors for dinner on a Friday evening. They've got a few beers and a few cold sakes. We started with the pork bao and the cucumber salad. Unfortunately, the pork was a bit dry and tough and the cucumber salad was quite salty. I'd skip the appetizers. The ramen was good. I had the spicy pork bone ramen. It was mildly spicy. It was a more liquidy broth with balanced flavor. I liked it but the pork slices were too dry and tough just like with the bao. The service was ultra quick and the outdoor seating was set up comfortable with sufficient barriers and heating. read more

Came here on a cold night so it was perfect ramen weather, this restaurant currently only does outdoor dining but they built a booth for it that's enclosed, feels pretty warm and it also has a heater overhead so it provides plenty of warmth. Food: Pork buns- the buns were soft and there was good amount of meat but for me it was a little bit strong on the vinegar note. Spicy pork ramen- this soup was so creamy and spicy (the spice is a little bit of a mala spice so builds over time). The egg comes with the ramen, there's a good amount of pork and very hearty to eat when it's cold outside. Green tea cheesecake- BIG fan of the green tea cheesecake. This cheesecake is strongly flavored with green tea / matcha. It's also not super sweet, only lightly sweet and it's very creamy. If you want dessert but you don't like anything super sugary, this is the best dessert for you. read more

Delicious meal! Their outdoor dining setup is fully enclosed with space heaters, but each enclosure has a door that you can prop open if you'd like air flow. The heaters were the perfect intensity, so I was able to eat without my jacket but also wasn't being directly blasted with hot hair. They have four 4 tops and two 2 tops, and don't take reservations. Classic rock was coming directly from the restaurant itself: Jack & Diane, Oh What a Night, Come On Eileen. $8 umami cucumber bite: thin sliced cucumbers with yuzu aioli, sesame seed, radish. I loved this because of the refreshing/savory balance going on. The aioli didn't seem like an aioli at all, but was more of a thin dressing, which I thought worked well. The $18 spicy pork bone ramen was perfect, quintessential thick pork broth. Not quite as rich as I like but still delicious. I also like my wood ear mushrooms cut thicker, these were thinner and so got lost in the richness. The $11 yuzu sake-tail was so delicious I ordered two. Light and refreshing, with a bit of real yuzu right on top - no relying on mixers and flavorings! Service was incredibly sweet and attentive, my waitress checked on me frequently and always had a smile beneath her mask. Definitely recommend! read more

Came here for a break from the rain. Got here just after 6pm and the restaurant was half empty. The space of the restaurant is pretty small when one was lugging a stroller and two munchkins in tow. Nevertheless the waitress was happy enough to accommodate us and placed the stroller near their working area. We sat ourselves by the kitchen. The kids enjoyed seeing the chefs making noodles and buns. The service was attentive and we promptly ordered a bowl of pork ramen with extra noodles and chicken karaage bun. The waitress and also chef pointed out the mayo is spicy jalapeño and might be too spicy. They suggested normal mayo which was good thinking! The ramen's broth was tasty especially with the miserable rain outside. It came with the standard egg, shallots, mushrooms and bamboo shoots. The bowl was $17 but I asked for extra noodles for additional $2. The chicken karaage bun was also nice and tasty. Chicken came straight out of the deep fryer and the buns itself was nice and soft. One of the nicer buns I've had. Total bill for the two ended up being $37 with tax and tip. Much better than enduring the rain outside I'd say! read more

The pork was extremely tender and delicious as was the toppings. Broth was definitely flavorful and umami. My noodles were still pretty hard but my sister said hers were fine. Unfortunately, there was something missing all in all and we thought it might have been the broth. Both my sister and I were hopeful for something better. The service was spot on though as the restaurant is pretty tiny. I would come back to try the other dishes if given the chance. read more

Come here if you want to test the limits of your girls stomach. ;P Came here on a Wednesday night on Halloween at 9pm after a party and another noodle joint in Chelsea. Went with the girl and we were immediately seated. We ordered the Tonkotsu, Jun-men fried rice, and a matcha-cheese cake. Total bill amounted to $40. Pretty standard for dinner for two in the city. AMBIANCE: Casual, lowkey ramen bar. Does get pretty loud, expected from a ramen joint. PROS: Tonkotsu was hella thick, rich, creamy, and flavorful! Definitely tasted the labors of love that went into making the broth. Gotta be hands down one of the better tasting pork-bone broths that I've had in the city! Good amount of garlic to stink your breath away (jk, but good enough to make it delicious without too overpowering), the noodles were firm and not too soft. Chasiu was BOMB - I was afraid of them overcooking the pork to dryness but these were decadent and melts right in your mouth! Good smoky flavor from the pork too since they use a blow torch to quickly sear the meat. Menma and seaweed shoots added a nice crunchy texture which overall made the experience enjoyable. Matcha cheese cake was nice and fluffy. Didn't had too much of it, but for $8 they give you two slices. Homegirl ate both of them and seemed to enjoy it lol. CONS: Wasn't a huge fan of the fried rice. Was a little bland for my tastes, and could definitely use more heat from spices and sausages to the dish. Kimchi was rather acidic and I thought was quite overpowering. OVERALL: Come here for the pork tonkotsu! Definitely one of the best bowls of pork bone ramen I've had here. Wouldn't recommend their fried rice, but knowing this primarily a ramen restaurant wouldn't hold them up to high for their fried rice. read more

Good ambiance and good sides. Uni pasta is best, and service is good with positive waiters.

This is the top bun spot in the neighborhood - the baos are insanely good. You've gotta get the pork bun and especially the fried shiitake mushroom bun, which is the greatest veggie bun we've had. The sweet potato fries with maple syrup and honey are so delicious too. Grab a seat at the counter, where you can watch the chefs perfectly sear the pork for all the ramens and stir the pork bones in these massive pots. The chefs here are meticulous with their cooking, and the open kitchen reveals how talented they are. Our server Mary was so kind - really thoughtful throughout our meal, giving us new napkins and tasty recommendations. We also had the uni ramen noodles and the spicy pork born ramen, preferring the pork ramen. The appetizers here are better than the entrees, but all are great. We left stuffed and so satisfied. 5 Stars!!!!! read more

2.5/5 Could be that ramen as takeout (Mealpal) just doesn't do the place justice, but very underwhelmed by this place. Noodles: super bouncy, and my favorite component! Broth: bitter aftertaste, doesn't overpower that much, but also just quite average Chashu: DRY. Tasted like the cured/dried pork belly meats that you see hanging off the racks at the Chinese meat restaurants. read more

Definitely order the crispy shrimp! My niece ordered it and I could have easily swiped her whole plate and inhaled it. The kimchi ramen is generously sized and can be shared (if you're ordering other items on the menu). It probably wasn't the smartest choice for me to pick a piping hot bowl of ramen on a hot & humid summer day but I still enjoyed in nonetheless. It's loaded with roasted pork shoulder, kimchi, scallion, egg and a handful of other things to round it out. What was very refreshing was the strawberry sake. Yum! The BBQ pork buns had lettuce and I think mayo in it? I'd probably just get the regular pork buns next time. I wish there were more seating options. It's basically row or communal seating if you're ok with that. read more

Came with a group of 3 on a Saturday night and we were seated immediately. The apps here were splendid. The sweet potato fries and shiitake buns were so tasty and certainly worth a try. Sweet potato fries are pretty sweet cause it's covered in maple. Shiitake mushrooms were succulent and almost tasted like meat cause it was so good. I opted for the pork bone ramen, which is also known as tonkatsu. The noodles are thin and surprisingly not starchy. Chashu is extremely fat and flavorful. Ramen was solid, but not the best I've had in NYC. Honestly, I felt the bites here are more ingenious than the ramen itself and it's worth coming to this restaurant just for that. read more

Bad food bad service bad experience. Chaotic seating system made it hard to get a table our food on time. Seems like management is disorganized and doesn't know what they're doing. The owner was yelling at staff in clear audible range of guests, and the food was overhyped and underseasoned. We got three different ramen bowls and were sat before our table even had silverware. Servers also seemed like they were disorganized. read more

I have had hundreds of bowls of Ramen. So i don't say thing next sentence lightly... this is the Best bowl of ramen I have ever had in my life. And it's vegan! The vegetarian miso broth is not patronizing. Itt has the depth and character of Shakespear: light, salty, with just the perfect amount of black garlic oil. The texture of the noodles is nothing less than perfection and the oyster mushroom is battered and lightly fried giving the texture of tempura bUt more fluffy. I am blown away. I'd give the chef a hug if i could. Additionally the service here is also amazing. The host identified that i was allergic to seafood and advised against the egg and chachu. Which was the only reason i chose the vegetarian option. And boy am I glad Ii did. read more

I came into Jun-Men around 5:30pm on a random Tuesday night with a friend and we were seated right away. There were probably maybe 2-3 other tables for two left and some spots at the bar. Parties came in and out during our time there, so it can get pretty crowded. I had their Pork Ramen and my friend had their Spicy Pork Ramen. The broth was SO good. Rich, milky, and smooth. I thought it was one of the best bowls of ramen that I've had in NYC. We also split an order of their shrimp and it was also really good. Crispy and crunchy and just a small kick from the spicy mayo. Service was pretty attentive and our ramen came out very quickly. We sat and chatted for a bit and they didn't rush us to leave. When the table next to us filled up (it was empty for maybe 20 minutes), we decided to call it and give our table back out in case anyone was coming in. But they never rushed us to leave at all. read more

I came here about a year ago during one bitter cold winter, in search of some heart warming soup (hopefully ramen). The school that I started going to was nearby, and I had to find a good comforting ramen joint to soothe my studying stresses. Then I found this place. The ramen is great! But what I was amazed to discover was their pork belly baos (steamed buns). These were the best pork belly baos I had ever tasted! The crisp of the pork belly + the sweet/tangy/ refreshing cucumber + hoisin sauce was the perfect combination that took me to Nirvana. I left the place dreaming of it! Although, I didn't feel the same, the second time I had their baos on a different day, I discovered I only experience the awesomeness of the baos when I get there as soon as they open for dinner at 5pm. Now I try to go there only around this time haha. Also, I tried their Tsukemen... completely started eating it the wrong way. Thankfully one of the waitresses gave me some instructions. I should've asked how to properly eat it before starting, or research before how to eat before eating. Epic! read more

TLDR: This is a solid ramen spot if you happen to be in the neighborhood, with outdoor seating as well. Generally speaking, the flavor of the broth and the texture of the ramen noodles really make or break this dish for me, and in my experience, there have been more misses than hits after trying a few ramen spots in NYC. With that in mind, I'd say the pork bone ramen I tried here was solid (4 stars). The broth was the right amount of flavor. However, I wish the noodles were not as overcooked and more chewy, but that's a personal preference. I visited on a weekend for dinner and there was no wait and plenty of outdoor seating. It's on a fairly quiet block in Chelsea and gives a warm neighborhood vibe that's perfect for a casual meal out. read more
