first time trying kyuramen and it did not disappoint! the atmosphere was clean and very bright aesthetic. food was super good! for someone who doesnt usually stomach a full bowl, the portions were perfect! the red bowl is the spicy tonkotsu (#6) and the white bowl is the tokyo tonkotsu (#1) with black garlic. we got the #1 with a meal that we got with gyoza, lemonade, and a matcha crepe cake which were all delicious! service was alright but i didnt mind as it was pretty busy at the time. would love to come back! read more

We were looking to grab a late dinner in midtown and my friends recommended Kyuramen. The restaurant was pretty busy at 10PM on a Tuesday, but we were seated right away in a private little room. It was cozy and I liked the convenient button to call a server. For drinks, I ordered a Passionfruit Iced Tea, which was tasty but a little too sweet for me. For food, I got the Chicken Bao Bun and Chicken Shoyu Ramen. The Bao Bun was just okay, but the ramen was very tasty. The broth was flavorful and the portion size was generous. Service was lukewarm but very efficient! Overall, solid for dinner on Restaurant Row. read more

Anything ramen gets a green light from me! But this place particularly is cool because of their unique drink menu. I also felt that everything was given to us quickly and that day I appreciated that because I was in a sort of rush. The place is clean, well decorated and what you would expect of your everyday ramen place. I appreciate having one around! read more

This place was recommended by one hotel staff. Perfect on a cold pre-blizzard night. We got there early enough and was relieved to get a table even though we didn't have a reservation. Ordered hot green tea and was a bit surprised to be asked if I wanted sweetened or unsweetened. I guess some New Yorkers drink add sugar to their green tea. Straight up traditional green tea for me please! We had: YinYang bowl - a bowl with a divider in the middle, on one side Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen and on the other side Sapporo Miso Ramen. Served with Braised Pork, Chashu Pork, Shrimp Tempura, Half Marinated Egg, Bamboo Shoots, Corn, Zucchini, and scallions. I had this one and found the Tonkotsu Shoyu a tad spicy than my liking. The Sapporo Miso was bland compared to the Tonkotsu Shoyu. Super bowl Ramen - served with Braised Pork Belly, Shrimp Tempura, Fried Chicken, Fried Tofu, Zucchini, Half Marinated Egg, Bamboo Shoots, Corn, Scallions, and Wakame in Pork Broth. This broth was more flavorful than the YinYang bowl. I recommend this dish and wished had ordered it myself. Next time. I would go back and try their other ramen. Seems like a local favorite too. read more

I've been wanting to try Kyuramen for a long time and finally had the opportunity for an early dinner before a show near Times Square. While I certainly appreciate the numerous vegetarian offerings on the menu, the vegan ramen was pretty disappointing. Almost nothing other than the two pieces of tofu had any flavor, and while the broth was labelled as miso, I couldn't really detect that in the base at all. The zucchini skewers were decent. If I were to return, I'd probably stick more to the izakaya-style small plates. read more

This was my second visit to this location, and unfortunately the customer service really ruined the experience. I arrived around 12:00 pm to meet a friend who wasn't getting there until 1:30 pm. The restaurant was practically empty -- only one table was occupied. I asked politely if I could just wait at the bar until my friend arrived. I made it very clear that I wasn't ordering anything until she got there. The waiter immediately told me they "don't normally let customers wait," especially for over an hour, because there's a time limit on dining. I explained multiple times that since I wasn't ordering yet, the dining time could simply start once my friend arrived -- and that if the place got busy, I'd gladly step outside. He just kept repeating the same scripted response without actually listening or offering a solution. Finally, I asked (still politely), "So what would you like me to do? Do you want me to leave?" He said no... and then repeated again that it's "not normal to wait." At that point, it was honestly just frustrating. The restaurant was empty, I was being respectful, and I even offered to leave if it became busy. I ended up joking, "Okay, then I'll be the first," just to break the awkwardness -- but wow. I'm a huge Kyuramen fan and regularly visit multiple Queens locations, so I know the food and usually enjoy the experience. But this specific location's customer service was disappointing and unnecessarily rigid. The attitude and lack of flexibility really left a bad impression. Love the food, hate the service here. read more

I came here with three teenagers -- two of them very picky eaters who swore they weren't going to eat anything. Fast forward 15 minutes later, everyone was happily digging in and raving about the food! We loved the whole vibe -- those cozy private booths make it feel like you've stepped into a little slice of Japan. The call button for service is genius! Every time we pressed it, someone came right away with a smile. The staff was kind, fast, and made our mostly Latina crew feel totally at home. The food? Absolutely amazing. We ordered rice bowls, chicken ramen, and dumplings (they call them something else on the menu, but they were the best pot stickers we've ever had!). Every bite was flavorful and fresh -- truly some of the best food we've had on our NYC trip. If you're in Midtown and want a place that's fun, welcoming, and beyond delicious, Kyuramen on 46th Street is the spot. We'll definitely be back next time we're in the city! Close the theater so no stress 5 minute walk after dinner. Night to remember with the crew. read more

Unfortunately, my experience at here at Kyuramen was disappointing. I was looking forward to trying the Yin Yang ramen, but the service really overshadowed the meal. I have a shrimp allergy and politely asked if the shrimp tempura could be substituted. The server immediately said no, without offering any alternative or showing much concern. He said I can remove it myself. I said so let the shrimp inside the bowl for me to remove? WTH. For a restaurant, especially one serving customizable ramen dishes, with a allergy list post on the wall by the counter where I sat at B1, a little flexibility or empathy toward food allergies would go a long way. The interaction felt dismissive and unwelcoming, which made the overall dining experience uncomfortable. Customer service matters just as much as the food, and sadly this visit fell short. The smashed cucumber was good. Spicy dumpling was good. Ramen broth was light, not as rich or flavorful as others. There are so many good ramen places in NYC, this Chinese Ramen place has lot of room to improve. read more

Just got back from Japan less than a week ago, so ramen was freshly on my mind. Had the #1 on their menu, shoyu tonkotsu ramen with a negima yakitori stick. Ramen was good, medium depth and flavor from the broth. Tender thinly sliced chashu, bamboo shoots, soft boiled egg were great but I think the flavor adder to the bowl was the wakame as that added the umami to each slurp of the noodles. I couldn't get enough of it and wished I had more after I had eaten all of it. I added some togarashi to it and that added some nice flavor for the 2nd half of my bowl. Negima was good, wished they had an option for that as an option with a bowl of ramen, like 2 sticks and $1 off the reg price of 2 of them, then I would definitely have ordered 2 instead of 1. Drank the entire bowl of soup and smirked as I saw the ありがとう at the bottom of the bowl (see picture). People shouldn't put cayenne pepper in ramen.‍ Service was ok, nothing spectacular or bad in any way. read more

We were all staying in Times Square, so I chose a place that was easy to walk to as he had to head back to his hotel afterwards to leave the city. The restaurant wasn't very busy when we arrived. We walked in and easily grabbed a table for 3. For apps, I wanted the chicken and the balls. The octopus balls were tasty with a nice chewy. I wish the chicken pieces were meatier, but I reminded myself this was popcorn chicken and not karaage. I got the spicy ramen. It could have used more heat as I ordered the spiciest level, but the broth wasn't too rich and had a nice savoriness. I like drinking the soup, so I tend to like lighter blander broths. Service was fine. Tho the corn took forever to arrive. I think they may have forgotten? It showed up at the end of our meal, so it turned into takeaway. They do have a game where if your bowl says free whatever, you get that item on your next visit. I don't think the split one qualifies tho. I lost, one in our party won free dessert. No one drinks all the soup, so you need a throw away bowl to play this game. Or just pour the soup, etc, between two different bowls. Quick easy lunch if you are craving noodle soup in Times Square.

Turns out I'm a Kyuramen regular! I love the Park Slope location, and this one didn't disappoint! The consistency is great between the two. I love the vegetable miso ramen. It was pretty packed, but we didn't end up having much of a wait. Which was impressive for a Friday night. It was, however, a bit early for dinner. Great location close to Broadway and Times Square. read more

There's a quite a few ramen choices in town, so it can be hard to differentiate. Their Yinyang Bowl is just that gimmick, allowing you to enjoy two different ramen flavors at once. I'm a big fan of variety, so this was a hit with me. Yinyang Bowl (Tonkotsu + Spicy Miso): The tonkotsu was pretty standard; that's my go to ramen benchmark. Creamy broth and firm noodles. Odd choice to add some shrimp tempura, but I like shrimp tempura, so it was fine. The Spicy Miso was a nice amped up contrast to the mellow Tonkotsu. It's Japanese spicy, not like Korean Spicy or Szechuan Spicy, so only a little tang. Still quite flavorful. read more

This feels like a sort of restaurant chain (I'm not sure if it is?). Sort of the olive garden of ramen. It was fine. I certainly liked it more than EAK, which is across the street. The ramen quality itself was probably a 7/10, and the ambience was an 8/10. I liked the bar seating, and they definitely had nice presentation of the menu and various fun drinks or appetizers that are available. read more

I was not a fan of this place. The ramen lacked flavor and I actually found a knat in mine which wasn't ideal. The noodles weren't particularly good and I thought they were rather basic. The Takoyaki was excellent and that was probably my favorite part, as was the dessert. The bubble tea was good, pretty standard. Service was fine. Attentive but nothing to write home about. Ambiance is fine. I sat at the bar counter. I probably wouldn't return. While you get a lot for your money, there are many other better quality restaurants in NYC. read more

My dinner here was OK but not quite as expected. I opted for the only vegetarian combo - chili garlic edamame and vegetable miso ramen - and a matcha pudding with red bean. The edamame had nice but inconsistent bite from the chili oil. The ramen broth had some depth but could have been richer; it benefitted from adding shichimi tōgarashi but I added too much (my fault). The ramen noodles had a mushier consistency than I like. The matcha pudding was mildly sweet as expected, improved by the accompanying dollop of fresh milk. Since most of the beverage choices were sweet, I opted for green tea served hot. Big mistake. The tea had a spiciness I have never experienced (I've had green tea many times, including in Japan). That spice combined with the tea's thermal heat made it almost undrinkable, casting a pall over my meal. I had to wait a while before my server came back and I could get the bill. I would have welcomed more attention. read more

I visited here in the fall and just remembered to post about my group's comedically bad experience here. The food was good, especially my hot stone pot rice dish, but our server was so rude, it was unbelievable. Our server, I assume a college-aged kid, seemed to hate working here. I'm not sure why or how he got into the service industry because had a sullen RBF the whole time, from the moment we were seated until the very end. My friends and I speculated if he works here because he is related to the owners. Who knows. He disappeared for some time, forgot an order, told us we couldn't split our bill, never smiled, and didn't seem to care AT ALL. Fortunately, another server was swapped in at the end. She was much better! I usually have terrific service in NYC, but this has to be the worst I've experienced in a decade. The other servers were friendly, but this guy was miserable. It was laughably bad. Truly. read more

I've been to Kyuramen in Dallas before and was excited to bring my family to the NY spot, which came before the Dallas one. The restaurant is bigger than it looks and bigger groups are sat in the back, in semi-private rooms, which is really nice for conversations and coziness. There's a call button you can use to order and pay, but sometimes you had to press it multiple times. Maybe they were really busy and couldn't hear it? Otherwise they were pretty quick to come over once the bell was rung (and heard). The food was good! The set combinations definitely set it apart from other ramen joints since the ramen didn't feel particularly unique to them (but I also just got a standard tonkotsu base). read more

I met an old colleague here for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. Ramen is always touch and go but this place hit the spot for quality and flavor factor! I ordered the combo 1 ( ramen chicken soup , bao and machta pudding) for $25. The ramen dish was super flavorful and for an extra $1 they added spicy noodles which wasn't that spicy actually. I had the chicken and the soup was delicious - I prefer it to be more temperature hot but it was hot enough. Prior to that I had the beef bao roll which was tasty and a great appetizer! Unfortunately I was t crazy about the dessert and pretty much left it alone I'd come back and order the popcorn chicken as well as a different type of ramen - Overall I was happy with the meal and the service read more

Great place for ramen in this cold weather while you eat something warm and delicious before going to a Broadway matinee show.

It's getting chilly now, which is the perfect time to get ramen! You have prob seen Kyuramen all over the city, so no reason to not check them out. The interior of each location is well decorated. I opted for the Times Square one. We ordered: Classic Japanese omurice combo (demi-glazed sauce and Thai iced tea) Toyko tonkotsu shouyu Eel avocado burger Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything from their menu. But it's not a place to wow a date. It's more a casual, let's catch up over a bowl of ramen vibe. read more

Terrible! They served cold and not fresh food! The popcorn chicken was already cooked maybe at morning and they try to reheated!!!

The food was mid. Ordered the miso ramen and it didn't taste like miso at all, but overpowering Chinese 5 spice, and even then there was no depth of flavor. Also ordered the yakitori platter which was not good. Like they cooked it earlier in the day and reheated it but it was dried out and rubbery. Overall the price was cheaper than others and the noodles were not overcooked and the staff was nice so that's something. I'd consider it fast food quality though. read more

I had been here before a year ago and came back since it is one of the few ramen places in Hell's Kitchen. The ramen was satisfying. I actually decided to go to try the Japanese fluffy style omurice and it was served as promised. It is by no means cheap (17 dollars for ramen and 22 ish for omurice) but it was fun to see the Japanese style omurice in Manhattan. The waiter seated us in a table and not at the bar as requested and I appreciated it. They also had an event where we could win a free item to consume during our next visit (we won a free dessert coupon). One thing I did notice was that the omurice had to be bought as a combo (food and drink). I would have preferred to purchase the omurice as a stand alone item instead of bundled with a milk tea. Overall would comeback and recommend. read more

My favorite aspect of this restaurant are the booths (for parties of 4 or more) near the back of the restaurant, which provide a bit of privacy with shaded curtains. You can ping the staff with a buzzer to avoid leaving the table, and they also come by to check on you periodically. Bathrooms are small but clean. I liked the spicy tonkotsu ramen and the fried squid; the ramen bowls seem smaller at first glance, but are deeper than usual, meaning you do get a good amount of food for your buck. The noodles were chewy and the broth was flavorful. Probably wouldn't get the rice crab "burger" again. The rice was too hot to handle (it was made extremely fresh at least) even with the gloves they provide you, and after deconstructing the burger, it was only so-so. One pro tip is to check in on Yelp for a free red bean matcha pudding. They're actually pretty nice looking, and not too sweet (it's more on the bitter side). They don't skimp on the matcha. Was a great way to finish off the meal. The last thing to note is that while it's indeed a Japanese restaurant, there's a distinct Chinese flair to Kyuramen. The staff all spoke Cantonese, the music was C-pop, and even the ramen had a Chinese food feel to it. Didn't bother me since I myself am Canto, but just something to keep in mind. read more

Did a take out from this establishment and everything is packed so well. Noodles are on a second tier above the soup. All other ingredients are on a separate container. Extra egg order is also separate. Service is also fast. I think I got my lunch within 10 minutes of ordering. Ramen is yummy delicious, hits the right spot when you're not feeling 100%. Such comfort food. Run by Chinese owners but authenticity is quite close to real Japanese ramen. Restaurant looks clean and bright. Only thing is that I checked in on Yelp and supposed to receive a dessert but didn't because it's only for dine in. Oh well... read more
