Nestled in the heart of the Financial District in NYC, Kuu Ramen stands out as a cozy sanctuary for those seeking refuge from the biting winds of the city. After a chilly ferry ride, my family and I sought solace in a warm bowl of ramen, and Kuu Ramen did not disappoint. Despite the brisk weather, we were swiftly greeted as we waited in line outside, and within moments, we were ushered in and seated at one of the few tables in the intimate space. The ambiance of the establishment exuded warmth, with its snug interior and friendly staff. With only a handful of tables, Kuu Ramen offered an inviting atmosphere, accommodating no more than 20 patrons at a time. As we perused the menu, our anticipation grew, and we were not let down. My husband opted for the Kuu Chili Ramen, a spicy and aromatic delight that packed a flavorful punch. While it was a tad too spicy for his palate, he swiftly traded bowls with me, and I happily indulged in the Spicy Tonkotsu Miso, a rich and savory broth that left me thoroughly impressed. The portion size was generous, offering excellent value for the price - we were all very happy and had a lovely time whilst there. Meanwhile, our son savored every bite of his Tonkotsu Shoyu, complete with all the accoutrements on the side. The attentive staff ensured that our dining experience was nothing short of delightful, adding to the overall charm of Kuu Ramen. Kuu Ramen surpassed our expectations, providing not only delectable fare but also a cozy respite from the chilly winds of the city. Without a doubt, we will eagerly return on our next visit to NYC, eager to indulge in the warmth and flavor that Kuu Ramen has to offer. read more

I recently visited Kuu Ramen in New York and was blown away by the delicious food and cozy atmosphere. The ramen was some of the best I've ever had - the broth was rich and flavorful, and the noodles were perfectly cooked. I also really enjoyed the fries as well! The service was top-notch - the staff were friendly and attentive, and made sure our experience was enjoyable. The restaurant itself was clean and welcoming, with a warm and inviting decor. Overall, I highly recommend Kuu Ramen for anyone looking for a delicious and authentic Japanese dining experience. Whether you're a ramen enthusiast or just want to try something new, you won't be disappointed read more

Terrible terrible experience! The short man server is really bad! We four people got there at 9:30pm, he told us have to wait 30 mins. Then 2 other American guests arrived, he told them wait only 5 mins!! The attitudes are totally different! Then there were 3 seats I asked if could let 3 of my friends sit first, we can separate he said no! When cleaned my table, poured last customers water on the table, almost on my coat! I said your service is really bad. Guess what? He said: yes, I know. What makes he so rude to customers? Never never be there again! Watch out Asian, you have to wait longer than white! read more

I'm fairly new to ramen outside of the old poor college student grocery store variety. This place is leaps and bounds beyond that experience. My friend and I stopped in during peak lunch hours, but were able to find space at a large shared table right away. The waiter arrived promptly and was friendly. There was a slightly longer wait than we expected for the food to arrive, but it was all delicious and we felt it was well worth the wait to have the food come freshly prepared. I'm not a ramen expert, but this place seems very good to me! read more

Tasting hot ramen in the freezing cold would warm any palate. The place is cozy and small so expect to share a table with other hungry eating patrons. I got the miso pork, a signature dish at any ramen shop. This way I can distinguish the have's and have not's. The broth with a mix of chicken and fish was good but not stellar. The noodle looked like ramen but tasted more like Chinese noodle. Full disclosure I'm Chinese. Plus the bowl was quite small, maybe to accommodate the lack of space and elbow room. The place and food is ok. read more

My first time here and It was completely amazing! The broth is perfect for different levels of spiciness to choose from I got a 4 which is pretty decent. The noodles are to die for nothing short of perfection. They're well-cooked and not starchy at all. I've had that problem with other noodles but not here. Also, a pretty good variety of toppings to add on. I would highly recommend their pork belly buns because it was so good as well. The service is a bit slow but the overall experience was still great! read more

Kuu Ramen is one of my favorite places to eat! It's right by my office so I'll often go during my lunch break or stop by after work. It's a smaller restaurant but super clean and has AMAZING ramen and appetizers. My personal favorite is the miso ramen! They also have excellent sushi that is so fresh, along with all their other food. I've dined in and taken out and it's delicious either way. I recommend this spot to all of my friends and I would definitely put this ramen up against Ippudo! read more

Pretty rude staff, got hustled in and out before I could relax. That being said, the Ramyun seems to be inconsistent here. I had their signature chili and thought it was OK, pales in comparison to my experience at Jeju on the same day. Everyone else seemed to not be enjoying their meals either. Not sure how this ended up on an Eater list? Definitely better Ramyun out there. read more

Great location and an awesome atmosphere. Definitely not the location for a formal dinner but regardless the prices are great (10-13 dollars). Came in on a Friday night at 8pm and it was roughly a 15 minute wait but took closer to 5 minutes. It is a very small hole in the wall shop so I wouldn't recommend any parties larger then 6 at most. Will definitely be back again! read more

The space is very cozy so you may have to wait if you come at a busy time, but they do carry out if you don't want to wait. The Kuu Chili Chili Ramen was delicious. If you really like spicy, I recommend getting it hot. I got medium and it wasn't very spicy for my taste. The gyoza was crispy on the outside and so tasty. My boyfriend got the Shoyu Ramen and he love it. read more

Delicious spicy super and super ramen may be found here! The meat and garnishes are incredibly fresh. The flavorful flavor of the pork buns is excellent. It's a kid-friendly restaurant, and our waitress was happy to offer suggestions. The cutlery I received had hair in it, and the service was a little delayed, which is why I awarded it four stars. read more

I had high hopes coming here because this food joint is pretty most of the time. Such a disappointing experience that was. I ordered an ordinary chili Ramen which tasted horrible. The broth was too salty and the other ingredients were too small. The egg tasted like crap, I think it was not freshly cooked. I am so not coming again!! read more

My friend and I has been coming and dining in here since it opened and it never disappoints. The staff and manager are very friendly and helpful. The food is always amazing and getting better and better! I really love Spicy Kuu Chili...the broth is so tasty with the perfect amount of spice. This the best ramen ever! read more

I highly recommend Kuu for an unforgettable Japanese dining experience. The restaurant's aesthetics create a cozy atmosphere, Don't miss out on their varieties drinks on the shelf , which perfectly complement the authentic flavors of their cuisine. Kuu is truly a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. read more

A hole in the wall gem. Place is small and ideal for fast and easy. Not the place to socialize and linger. So if you want some good old fashion ramen dish as you scurry on to your next errand, Kuu Ramen is a really yummy spot! Will have to come back and try a different yummy dish. Happy belly! read more

Frequent this place when craving a good bowl of ramen in lower Manhattan. Great bowl of Tonkotsu Shoyu and the chicken Karaage is really solid. Pretty basic Izakaya fare done very VERY well. I've been here early in the night and had to wait outside until a seat opened up! It is worth it. read more

Brilliant food. Brilliant service. Brilliant setting. We ordered the Siracha Chicken to start, spicy but extremely tasty. Followed were the house ramen and the chicken teriyaki- both outstanding- and washed down with some Japanese soda ( Calpico original). Pricing was excellent as well read more

This would be my favorite Place to buy ramen! it's affordable and their food is just great! As well as their service, their really fast at getting your food to you, and I always order on Uber eats when I'm feeling I want ramen! I highly highly recommend eating at this place! read more

Highly recommend Kuu Ramen I stopped by there last Wednesday with my friend. This place is small but cozy and staff very polite, friendly. They have so many items. I need to try it all. But we are so full. I will stop by there to try another bowl of the ramen again. read more
