This is a great little spot, especially if you're near Adventureland and Farmingdale university! The inside has charming Japanese-style décor that gives it a cozy, authentic feel without being over the top. We went before the dinner rush and were seated right away. They also offer bubble tea and a nice selection of beers, which is a fun bonus. We started with edamame and shrimp shumai to share, both simple and tasty. I had the seafood ramen, which was packed with flavor and loaded with shrimp, scallops, and clams--comforting and delicious, especially on a cold night. My husband had the shrimp donburi and really loved the grilled shrimp, which were cooked and seasoned perfectly. The service was great, definitely a great place to warm up on a cold winter night. read more

We got delivery from here last night and it was amazing! My sister, her fiancé, my husband, and I (finally) decided on ramen for dinner. We were about to order from Oh! Ramen, but I remembered this place tucked away on 110 near Costco that I've passed 100 times and suggested it. When everyone saw the menu and their more unique offerings, we immediately pivoted and ordered from here. My husband picked the vegan curry tofu ramen, my future brother-in-law picked the spicy wonton ramen, and my sister picked the wild pepper ramen. Everyone loved theirs! I sampled the curry broth and it was delicious. I had dental work last week so I've been cautious of what I can eat so I picked just the miso broth with noodles and added a side of egg and a side of the beef shank. The beef shank was able to be cut with a plastic spoon with how tender and delicious it was. The eggs were perfectly gooey in the middle, and the broth was exceptional. We all agreed we wished there was a bit more broth in their bowls but that's our only complaint. I need to come back here to eat in the restaurant next time! read more

Kokyou Ramen - Chicken bross ramen - Japanese Near Me - Farmingdale, New York

Ive seen this place when I came here once for 5 guys. Theres a parking lot but its shared with a dollar tree and a few other stores so it's alwaya packed. The inside is very nice and they had soothing sounds playing, good atmosphere tp relax and dine. My waitress was very nice and I was seated quickly. I started with a veggie gyoza pan fried which was very good! Very flavorful. Then next came my miso soup that I asked for spicy. The broth tasted a bit off, I cant put my finger on it exactly but it smelled and tasted very fishy like. I know some miso broths are made with fish flakes but this smelled and tasted extra fishy to me, wasnt a huge fan. Not sure if ill be back. read more

My friend and I met up for an early dinner. The restaurant is very clean and the staff is super friendly. The restaurant is very welcoming. There is a parking lot and I'm not so sure how packed it can get during the week as we went on a Sunday. The menu is simple: starters, ramen, donburi, beverages. Even though I wanted to try their ramen, my friend and I ordered donburi. My friend ordered the curry chicken katsu donburi and I ordered the beef donburi. We asked for the curry on the side and that was delicious! The food was very filling. We couldn't finish it and had to take the leftovers home. My friend bought a passionfruit jasmine fruit tea to take home. She told me that was delicious and wasn't too sweet. I was impressed that the food wasn't salty at all. However, I will say that the beef donburi was on the sweeter side. It reminded me of Yoshinoya (if you know, you know). All it was missing was a side of ginger! I'll definitely be going back to Kokyou Ramen to try out the ramen. Give them a try! read more

Curry chicken katsu donburi was zesty, crispy, and not oily--straight to the point! While not the most authentic in flavor, it definitely hits the spot. Would love a bit more curry sauce and a deeper authentic flavor, but overall a solid meal. The restaurant was clean, great ambiance, service was great, and there's plenty of parking. Can try if you are in the area. read more

I really struggled to like my ramen here. The broth was very watery, lacked the depth of flavor, and frankly was not salty... which is odd for a miso base. The fixins also were mostly slightly undercooked. The woodear mushrooms were slightly bitter. The corn was too crunchy. Pork was tender. Bamboo shoots were cooked well. The service was reasonable though, boba was tasty, and the staff brought chili oil yo customize the flavors. I guess its a good place for a low sodium ramen but it didnt taste like any of the ingredients had any flavor permeated into them. They all seemed plainly boiled and unseasoned. Works for some but not for all. read more

Extremely happy I was able to find a local place that has chicken katsu curry! The price was fair and the restaurant seemed like a mix of a carry out and eat in spot. So either or is welcomed. Service was quick and prices were standard for this type of meal. Only complaint I have is that they could have given a lot more curry. I'm not sure if less is traditional but at the other spot near my job, they have half the bowl in curry. Will be coming back if I'm in the area! read more

This has been my go-to spot for an after work dinner for a few months now, ever since I started working in the Farmingdale area. What you see is that you're getting: a nice, quaint, little ramen shop. Good food, good atmosphere, good service. Nothing much to complain about, it's just a nice little spot for a good, warm meal. Bonus points for having a chicken ramen with a chicken-based broth. Highly recommend this place if you want a nice bowl of ramen. read more

Came in today for soup. I ordered Tonkatsu and it was good, not the best in LI and considering I spent 3 weeks in Japan this summer on vacation. I would had come back since this place is not far from my job. However, after experiencing the not so welcome greeting and the serious attitude towards me, no I'm not coming back. I noticed how the host/waitress was friendly with others, including a gentlemen who came after me, who was also dining alone except me. I know people can have a bad day but when the bad day is only reflected towards me. That's an issue with me. This was my experience, hope nobody experience the same. Food=Good, Service= not so good. read more

This place is so underrated and I'm kicking myself for not coming here sooner. There are so many ramen shops popping up, but this one stands out not just for how delicious the food is but the options. They have a great rice bowl section and a ramen section, so there's something for everyone. One thing I have to point out is how unique the ramen selection is here! They have a kalbi and a bulgogi ramen option which I was blown away by. Haven't seen options like that else where and their menu was definitely unique. I went with the kalbi spicy ramen and it was awesome! So much so that i can't wait to come back. Portions are a great size, the broth on the tonkotsu and kalbi were delicious. I wish it was a little bit of a richer broth but it was still so good, so flavorful, and I can't wait to come back and try everything else they have to offer. The ambiance of the restaurant is super cute and so aesthetically pleasing. The staff is super friendly, very attentive, and the restaurant itself is pretty clean. Very happy, so pleasantly surprised, and I can't wait to come back again! read more

First time coming here today. Had a beer. Family had char sui donburi and tonkatsu ramen. My beef donburi bowl was delayed due to a kitchen error. They were kind enough to give me a 20 percent discount. Food was delicious. Also had the takoyaki. It was good too, with a drizzle of wasabi oil. Will come again. read more

You know the ramen is good when it taste great as take out! (Ramen connoisseurs know lol). I was in the mood to try a new ramen spot and decided to take a chance on this establishment. I called in my order and received great service both over the phone and when I went to pick it up. The inside is definitely Instagram story worthy with a very modern/minimal ambiance. I got the tonkotsu ramen (gotta keep it causal on the first try lol) and the pork buns. Both were delicious, but the broth could have been a bit tastier. I had to spruce it up when I got home lol. I see comments saying that their ramen is not like the ones in the boroughs and....it's not lol. But I feel like you ~can't~ have that expectation with ramen on Long Island unfortunately. However, in comparison to other places I've tried, this one was consistent enough to what I am accustomed to and that was fine with me. read more

- Ambiance Very modern scenery. There was cute lantern decor as well. - Food Food came very quick and was not disappointed. I ordered a coconut milk tea with regular sugar and ice. Though, I would reccomend less sugar next time. The coconut flavor was pretty strong in my opinion. I ordered kaarage chicken for an appitizer, and it was crispy and came with a side of honey mustard sauce. Appetizer was pretty filling, so I would reccomend ordering only if you're super hungry or with a friend. For the entreé I had Tori Paiten Ramen, their newest menu item. The soft-boiled egg was kinda cold, but did not bother me much. It came with corn, scallion, 4-6 pieces of thin-sliced chicken seasoned with pepper, half of a soft-boiled egg, salty chicken broth, and noodles. I reccomend having a glass of water with this one since it was really salty. -Service Great service, waitress came to check up on us a few times and refilled our water too. Definitely reccomend for a chill, lunch spot to enjoy! read more

I'm trying to wrap my brain around what people are raving about with this place. Maybe they've never had good ramen before, maybe they think it's supposed to resemble the "ramen" you find in those supermarket plastic packages, I don't know. All I know is this is some of the most disappointing food I've ever tried. Line by line: -Takoyaki...bland and mushy -pork buns...mostly bun, and lousy bun at that, no flavor. Small piece of rubbery pork slathered in some sort of mayo. Sad attempt at what's usually one of my favorite things -tonkatsu ramen...guys, this ain't ramen. not good ramen anyway - the noodles were almost identical to the supermarket crap, the broth was way off flavor wise and the eggs had a funk to them. Also, who the hell puts raw onion in soup? not caramelized, not even sweated, just straight raw white onion with all the burn you'd expect if you were to bite into one. idk maybe the college kids across the way are into this stuff, i remember thinking domino's was solid after late nights at the bars back then but if you've had legit ramen you're not going to leave this place satisfied. Sorry not sorry, this is a fail from start to finish. read more

Kokyou Ramen is delicious! I was introduced to this place by my neighbor and have been there 3x since. Kokyou Ramen is located in the same parking lot as dollar tree right off 110. My neighbor ordered the Miso ramen and I get the Kalbi ramen (I love the kick!). I think the portion size, presentation and restaurant ambiance is lovely. The service here as well is great! I am glad to have a delicious ramen spot near my home and wishing the continued success for this business! read more

This place is the best! The food is delicious. The miso ramen was outstanding with every element a dish needs. I recommend 2 chicken buns as well. The service slightly lacks politeness, but for the most part, it was fine. The food is also affordable for the quality of it. The atmosphere feels like you are in Japan with lanterns on the ceiling. I go here all the time with my extended family and everyone finds something great to order. I hope this review helped you decide whats for dinner/lunch! read more

The food was really great. Definitely good quality ramen. However the service sucked. We waited forever for our server to bring us our check we were calling across the restaurant for him for over 10 minutes trying to grab his attention while he sat on his phone at the counter. Would definitely be 5 stars if it wasn't for the service. read more

My daughter and I ordered some delivery from Ramen . Food was hot and very flavorful. We ordered spicy beef and the chicken . Both wrrr very good but the beef was exceptional. Everything was fresh and portions were plenty. Will dine in next time read more

Typical Chinese owned and run ramen restaurant. Ramen didn't have rich savory flavors but instead Chinese flavors. The food we got was good but it certainly wasn't the flavor profile I was expecting when I wanted ramen. We tried the tonkatsu and the miso which had somewhat muted flavors and the braised beef which tasted like a bowl from a Chinese hand pulled noodles shop. The fruit drinks and bubble tea were pretty good from here though. read more

The servers, Joanie and Selina, were very sweet and friendly and answered our questions about the things we order. They are very helpful. We Ordered the sweet potato tempura starter which was delicious. The chicken katsu was excellent. Both coatings were very light and perfectly fried. My husband got the chicken wings and Tori Paitan Ramen which were excellent also. This is the 5th time we've been here and the quality is always consistently excellent. read more

So I'll say this much, the service, location, and decor are all all great. They do a good job with that. The ramen is another story altogether. I had the tonkotsu, which is my customary order at most ramen spots. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't particularly good. The chashu was fairly minimal, almost no flavor other than char, just no marinade to speak of. The ajitama was okay, would have preferred a full egg, but for the price and location, I get it. The noodles, standard Sun noodles I can pick up at the store, not offensive, just not good. On to the broth, with tonkotsu I'm expecting a very pork forward broth, and I just did not get that. Not sure what they're using as a base, it's just not a hearty, thick, stick to your lips, broth. It was almost a little watery. It was edible, just nothing to write home about. Frankly I'm glad work picked up the tab on this one read more

After spotting it near my usual Costco stop, I decided to give Kokyo Ramen a try and was genuinely impressed. The restaurant has a clean, simple interior that feels welcoming without trying too hard. I ordered the tonkotsu ramen and it was excellent! The broth was rich and flavorful without being too salty, the noodles were perfectly cooked with just the right amount of chew, and the chashu pork was incredibly tender. The soft-boiled egg added a nice touch and balanced everything out. What really stood out was how well they handle takeout, carefully packaging the soup and noodles separately so nothing gets soggy by the time you eat. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure everything was to my liking. I also tried the chicken wings and they were crispy and juicy with a flavorful marinade that didn't overpower the meat. It's the kind of spot that hits the sweet spot between quality and convenience! read more

Great ramen place! Service was fast and friendly. I got the miso ramen and my boyfriend got the shoyu paitan ramen. We enjoyed the ramen but we both found the miso ramen to be tastier. Also got the pork bun as an appetizer which was also tasty. Overall a solid ramen place and we'll be back to try more of their menu items! read more

My first time here. I got the Tonkatsu Ramen. It was totally satisfying. I've had better roast pork slices. They were almost flavorless. Could be an off day. The soup and ramen noodles were very good. Tons of scallions so that is a huge plus. My companion got the seafood ramen. He enjoyed that a lot. They charge for tea. Come in a cup with a tea bag. That's kind of a minus. Service is good so at least they were attentive in coming with the hot water to refill the tea cup. read more

If you dine in, they made very good ramen to be honest with you. But if you are planning to order takeout, I dont know what to say but it was disappointing! Ordered Two ramen for take out And literally both ramen dont have any meat at all. It was mostly noodles And egg. I was disappointed because it was very expensive. read more

Definitely a more earthy and unique flavor than most ramen places. Place is clean and bright and the staff is friendly.

Just happen see this place as I was driving on 110 and popped in, glad I did. Only open four months the aesthetics are nice and food was delish. Service was prompt and very courteous Will be coming back!! read more
