This is a popular ramen chain in NYC, and it's great to have a NJ location now so that we don't have to travel so far for good ramen. Not only that, this restaurant is spacious with a lively and trendy ambiance, and is conveniently connected with the bubble tea shop Tbar if you're craving a refreshing drink with or after your meal. Food came out pretty quickly. The shoyu black garlic ramen was a great classic bowl with nice, chewy noodles and a rich broth, and I loved seeing whether I won the hidden surprise promotion. If you get to the bottom of your ramen bowl and see a special red stamp, you can win a free drink/appetizer/dessert/ramen for your next visit. I actually won a free drink for next time! So fun.

Such an adorable Ramen restaurant! Love the honeycomb concept of the decor. The menu has limited GF options but the spicy cucumbers and Japanese French fries were Devine!!

My husband and I have been wanting to try this place out. I try not to expect. When you walk in you notice the hive wall, then the huge tree in the middle, and then the decor. Everything there was very eye catching we didn't even notice someone trying to signal to us. The host had us seated in the one of the higher bee hive things. It was so cool! Our waiter was super nice and if you need him/her you press the button on the wall. But, they are pretty attentive for the most part. Now, the food. OMG, the food. For an app - we order a sampler. It came with season edemame, tofu, shrimp tempura, takoyaki, and chicken. All were absolutely great and they paired well with their sauces. For entrees my husband got the Super Bowl, which had pretty much everything in it. The bowl was huge! I ended up getting the YingYang - 2 differ t ramens. Both were so good we didn't want the ramen to end! We also order drinks - hubs got the coconut smoothie and I got the dragon fruit tea. Both were refreshing and were too sweet! So, the tree they have in the middle is cool! You can write your own mag/draw a picture and the staff will put your msg on the tree! Absolutely a must go if you're around old bridge! We plan to go back soon and try other dishes

I feel gaslit by these reviews LOL. Guys, I really tried to like this place and even dined here twice to give it a 2nd chance. I always try to start with the good when writing a sad review. The ambiance is really nice and they are relatively accommodating if you want to be seated in a booth. Now for the bad and the ugly. The food was really dissapointing. The first time I dined here, I ordered the pork don and my husband ordered the miso ramen. The food came out suspiciously quick, and as suspected, it was not hot. The presentation for everything was beautiful, but the flavor was pretty standard and the temperature was luke warm. On my second visit, I wanted to try the omurice. However, it's a combo meal that comes with a dessert. When I asked if I could order the entreé alone, they wouldn't accommodate this request. They said I can pay for the entreé at the combo price point which I thought was so strange. They offer all the ramen a la carte, so why not the rice dishes too? I ended up ordering the chicken burger which was a total catfish. The sparse mole hill of "japanese fries" was amusing. Call me a hater, but Kyuramen is mid at best :(

We've had Kyuramen down in Cherry Hill, NJ and were so excited to learn that they opened one up closer to us. I love that they have both the private booth seating and the honeycomb seating. Unfortunately, it was crowded when we went on Sunday for lunch so we got a regular table. My husband and I always get the combo meal that comes with an appetizer, ramen, and dessert. However, we felt a little daring today and decided t get the yakitori platter as well. We shouldn't have because we were so full and had to take a lot of stuff home. I have also loved Kyuramen as the service is good, the food always comes out really fast (I mean like within 5 minutes of ordering fast), and everything I've ever tried was flavorful and cooked excellently. The Old Bridge location held up to these standards. I find that most of the time with chain restaurants consistency is very hard to achieve. Like I may order the same dish or item at two locations but it comes out vastly different. But I must say Kyuramen has nailed consistency, flavor, and service. We will definitely be coming back since it is so close!

Love the ramen here Very fragrant ramen and flavorful Service is great and mostly attentive I've been here a few times since opening and each time didn't disappoint. Only wish they asked me for my rewards card since they usually do and this time they didn't and I remember afterwards. I emailed in asking for the points to be added but never got a response. Other than that the food and beverage and desserts are extremely tasty and the price is very reasonable

New spot alert!! This place is absolutely gorgeous, seriously, such a vibe. I was excited when I saw they offer bubble tea and ramen... what more can you ask for? Unfortunately, the food fell a bit short for me. The service was amazing, they have a button at all the booths to call for your waiter (loved that concept). I started with their passion fruit green tea with bubble and that was good. As for the food I started with the crispy sweet chili wings and the flavor didn't make it into the meat. The outside was tasty, but the chicken itself was pretty bland. I also tried the Tokyo tonkotsu shoyu ramen with black garlic, and that was delicious , honestly the only thing I'd order again. I will say the portion is a little deceiving; the bowl makes it look like there's more in there than there actually is. I'd suggest adding more noodles because it just wasn't enough. Next up was the Kyushu spicy tonkotsu ramen , I ordered the mild version and wow, it was intensely spicy, like almost unbearable. Mind you I love spice! The flavor of the broth was good, but the heat needs to be toned way down. I couldn't finish it. I'd definitely go back to try other items because the place itself is stunning and has potential, I'm just hoping the rest of the menu hits better than what I had this time.

We've had Kyuramen in NYC before and were very excited to hear one opened up in my own town! Located in The Shopppes at Old Bridge, the place is very spacious and hosts their iconic honeycomb seating. Each booth comes with help buttons on the side to call your servers at any time. The servers were fantastic and very attentative, and the food was delicious. The edamame was fantastic and a great portion for its price. The ramen was definitely one of the better places anywhere near Old Bridge! Can't wait to try more dishes here. They also have a quick to-go dessert/snack/bubble tea store attached to the restaurant which is also great for Old Bridge. Great experience here!

What a great addition to the neighborhood! I'm always looking for a scrumptious ramen restaurant and what a perfect time of year to open! What a nice job they did on the atmosphere. The restaurant has a very cool vibe. The ramen was on point! I had the chicken ramen with chicken broth and it was very good. My husband loved his Yakitori... it was packed with flavor. Veggie dumplings were great too. Service was excellent and just have a little patience as they only just opened a couple of weeks ago. They're all doing a great job and we will definitely be back. There is also a large variety of all kinds of drinks ... you can just go to the adjacent drink bar and take a drink to go and also order it along with your meal. So good! We didn't have dessert but maybe next time!

It was me first time here, whole it was my wife's second time. The decor was nice. The Chairs were comfortable enough and the tables were spacious enough for our party of four. The servers were attentive and friendly. However, we didn't take knew who our server actually was because different people took our orders throughout our time there. The food was good. My wife found them too salty (and she usually likes hers food on the saltier side). That was surprising for me. I didn't find mine that salty, it was just enough. It's the food all hyped up to be? Not really. The ramen is good. I would put it slightly above Rai Rai Ramen in East Brunswick, just slightly. Kyuramen had better desserts, though. However, the matcha pudding was so-so. I liked the peach blossom jelly they offered with my combo. It was light and refreshing. The place is definitely worth going back to. I would like to try their Omirice next time.

I give my thanks to my husband, who actually bookmarked Kyuramen, but it was for the one in Cherry Hill, NJ. When we heard it opened up in the Shoppes at Old Bridge, we thought, It's right near Costco, where we shop, so let's go! Upon arriving, we noted how busy it was. We hit the all-time lunch crowd. To the left, there is a space where you type your name, and they will call you when a table is available. This gave us plenty of time to absorb the clean and fun aesthetics of the place. There is a huge wooden tree in the middle of the restaurant where you have access to wooden thin blocks and markers. You can write, draw, or add stickers if you so desire, and afterwards, you use a long stick to hang up your block on the tree. Then there are the unique seatings that are in honeycombs. We were lucky as we were seated in one. It gave us a more cozy and more intimate feeling as we dined. Now onto what we really came for...the food! Upon perusal, we saw many great deals, and they are connected to the boba shop next door, called TBaar. Here's what we ordered: - Pan Fried Gyoza Dumplings - 3.5/5 stars. The dumplings were a little soggy, and while the bottom was beautifully crisped up, the rest was not. - Honeycomb Platter - 4.5/5 stars. They had an adorable arrangement of street food snacks on a honeycomb platter, and they were all delicious! The dishes included Chili Garlic Edamame, Popcorn Chicken, Shrimp Tempura, Takoyaki (2pcs), and Agedashi Tofu. I must say, when I was in Japan, these dishes were spot on! Very impressed! The only thing I docked them for was the popcorn chicken being overly salty, with no other complexity. I recall that in Japan, their popcorn chicken was salty and savory. I would like to add that their Takoyaki Octopus Balls were outstanding! Big chunks of octopus were inside, and the accompanying sauce was the perfect pairing. I had that as my entrée. While it is under the appetizer selection, it is extremely filling. - Classic Japanese Omurice - 5/5 stars. The presentation was a showstopper in itself, but the taste brought my husband right back to Japan. Ah, the memories, which is what food should evoke in all of us. The sauce was savory and full of umami flavor. Sublime! - Tokyo Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen - 5/5 stars. My husband was supposed to share that with me, but he accidentally ate most of it. Luckily, I was able to have a little bit and agreed with his assessment. It was so warming to the heart and had a great broth. The bowl boasted of 3 nicely sliced pork bellies that were mouth-watering. - Matcha pudding with red beans - 5/5 stars. It is a thick, rich, and full-bodied dessert. The most flavorful of the two desserts. It came with condensed milk to make the matcha pudding even richer, and my husband could not get enough of it. - Cherry Blossom Jelly - 5/5 stars. It is the lightest, and the flavor profile is the brightest. My perfect ending for a very flavorful and satisfying meal. - Taro Milk Tea - 5/5 stars. This drink was heavenly! I requested 0% sugar. The natural sugar from the milk and the taro itself was sweet enough, and if you close your eyes, it tastes like vanilla. It is not starchy and just perfect when you are eating anything salty, as it balances the sodium nicely. We were exceptionally lucky as we had Jacky C as our highly attentive server. He went out of his way to ensure everything was exceptional. Considering the heavy trays he had to carry up the stairs and the constant bustling, he was constantly friendly, always ensuring we had our hot tea cups filled, and took time to chat with us, debunking my thoughts of the establishment having someone's o baa san and o jii san in the back preparing all the meals. Considering this place is a chain, their food truly does transport you to Japan without the airfare! We are hooked, and whenever we come back, we will be asking for Jacky C.
