    Tonkotsu Ramen
    Caitlin K.

    Pretty solid ramen place in Hoboken. The broth was so flavorful and delicious. The egg was perfectly soft boiled and the chashu was tender.

    Delicious Ramen stop for a no-frills, comforting experience. The Bao buns are fire & their ramen is perfectly slurpy goodness. The ambiance is ok & lighting could've been better but food service is quick. This should be the stop for your next craving.

    Got the black tonkatsu ramen and it was ok. I think both the noodle and the broth could use some improvement. I prefer the noodle texture to be more chewy, and was hoping that the broth would be more flavorful.

    Dining experience was great - you order on your phone and pay on the app as well. The food comes quickly and served to you. My ramen was delicious and the staff was friendly.

    Truly one of the most aesthetically pleasing and best priced ramen places I have been too! This spot on Washington St serves up authentic Japanese ramen and bao buns. I ordered the Muteki Ramen and for $18, the bowl was bigger than my head! It was loaded with toppings such as bean sprouts, cabbage, mushrooms, bamboo, scallions, eggs and more. We also ordered the Karaage Chicken Buns and Chasu Pork Buns and they were so delicious - the perfect addition to this amazing comfort meal. The style of this restaurant made me feel like I was back in Japan with the seating arrangement and open kitchen - it was so cool being able to see the cooks preparing the dishes. Truly an amazing find and recommend trying your next night out in Hoboken.

    perfect spot to get all warmed up and satisfied especially during these cold winter days! we started off with their takoyakis and cucumber salad and they definitely worked up our appetites! i thoroughly enjoyed the cucumber salad-perfect dressing and very good crunch! All the ramens we ordered had delicious broth, chewy noodles and savory meat! Portions were perfect too. I appreciate the space and that we were comfy enough to bring our baby's stroller in without feeling so tight. Service was timely and efficient too! overall a very good experience!

    One good ramen place in Hoboken! Have been here multiple times. Went for my usual vegetarian creamy ramen- loved the texture of broth. Less salt but overall good. The veggie tempura buns were out of the world . Loved the sauce and the crunchy spring onion topping on the tempura. My husband ordered the spicy tonkotsu. It wasn't hot enough and had a bland taste. However, he enjoyed his karage buns! We ordered a lychee sparkling drink- yummy loved it! They are a byob place and their service has always been impeccable. Will definitely go here again just for my veggie ramen.

    Pretty bad broth. The ambiance and service were great, the food was just not good. I got the Muteki Ramen and it was really bad. Noodles were good, but that was some very unbalanced broth. Out of respect, I try to finish what I order, but this was one really bad bowl. The garnishes were good too, but bad broth = bad ramen. It's my first time leaving a ramen place without finishing from flavor alone.

    Cozy little spot on Washington. It was a freezing cold day and a hot steamy bowl of delicious ramen was just what we needed to nourish our body and mind. There are many restaurants and Asian dining selections in town, but this place got exceptional ratings for their ramen. It did not disappoint in the quality and creativity with their selections. Service was prompt and friendly.

    I really like this place. I went here yesterday and I like the aesthetic. They have great customer service and food.

    4.5* Wanted ramen on a cold night and this was one of the options! Partner and I walked in and there were only 2 groups. As the night went on it definitely got more crowded and there's not too much seating so I think there ended up being a bit of a wait. Started out with ordering the chicken karage which was alright! Not the best thing ever, but tasted decent. Then I ordered the kimchi ramen which was AMAZING. Super rich broth & the pork was super good. Noodles were a bit thinner than I'm used to but still tasted good. Great and hearty and so yummy. Loved their ramen! Definitely would be back to try more of their menu. Definitely a great spot to check out!

    Always very quick with their service Food is always tasty Tempura buns were a lot better this go around. Shio koji chicken (not pictured) was a couple pieces of chicken breast smothered in sauce. While they were very tender, I am not sure I would order again. Thai green curry ramen was delightful and would definitely order again.

    .Came in town from LA and love ramen so of course I had to find ramen while on vacation. Cute Ramen place in Hoboken with good service, kind staff and yummy food. Close walking distance to lots of shops Love the flavor of the broth and meat. I love noodles and thought the portion of noodles was perfect with option to pick thin or thick. Goyza was super delicious too. Not many people on a Monday night at the time we went but steady flow of people coming in for their to go orders! Would definitely come back if I'm in town.

We arrived at 12pm on Sunday, when they opened and I was surprised to see that we were the first ones there. The ambiance was cozy and upscale. We loved the bench seating with our kids, very spacious ( i think 6 adults could squeeze). Small wooden bowls for the kids to share a ramen. My wife ordered the spicy miso, I ordered the special Yuzu ramen and the kids split the Shoyu ramen. We also ordered some chicken yakitori and sweet potato fries to share. Food came out quickly and everything tasted good. The yuzu takes a little getting used to (tangy but savory), but my wife loved it. I would definitely come back.

The ramen I received did not match the photo on the menu, so I mentioned it to the waiter. Instead of apologizing, he blamed me and said the ingredients were clearly written on the menu. He said he would let the restaurant know, but there was no apology at all, and I was still charged the full amount. I had been going there for over 10 years, since they were in the East Village, so this was really disappointing. Also, be aware that there is barely any cell signal inside the restaurant. Unfortunately, I will not be going back again, and I would not recommend this place anymore. I know this is a little harsh, but I believe it is fair feedback. I hope the restaurant takes it seriously, reflects on it, improves, and trains the staff better.

This was shocking and news to us. When we were here in Aug. 2025, my partner and I shared one ramen and an appetizer as we weren't too hungry and didn't encounter this weird rule. Our friend was highly insulted by this rule as she is gluten intolerance and couldn't eat ramen. But mind you, we all ordered a drink each and plan on ordering more drinks and other appetizers. I get it if we were dining during peak hours or sat at a table without ordering. However, we were there at 9:30pm, about 30 mins before closing. Was it necessary to force this weird rule? Lastly, none of the menus on their website mentioned this weird rule. And there were no fine prints in the Resy booking. The server did offer to speak to the manager for an exception. But the moment was ruined.

We walked into a casual space with the kind of atmosphere where you come in for a satisfying bowl of noodles rather than a long dining experience. The smell of the broth coming from the kitchen adds to the warmth, creating that cozy feeling you expect from a good ramen spot. The space is straightforward and functional, letting the food speak for itself. The ramen is the main reason to visit, and the bowls are built with a lot of care. The noodles have a nice firm texture and hold up well in the broth, giving each bite a good balance between the noodles and soup. The broths lean richer and more flavorful, especially for those who enjoy a deeper, heavier ramen style. The toppings are generous, with slices of pork, soft boiled egg, seaweed, bamboo shoots, and green onions adding different textures and flavors throughout the bowl. The pork is tender and well seasoned, and the egg is cooked to that perfect jammy consistency that ties the whole bowl together. The Spicy Miso Ramen stands out as one of the more popular choices, bringing heat while still keeping the savory depth of the miso base. The curry ramen is also worth considering if you want something different from the usual ramen options, offering a thicker, more aromatic broth that still feels comforting. Beyond ramen, the fried chicken, known locally as zangi, and fried rice make good additions to round out the meal, especially if you are looking for something more filling. The zangi is crisp on the outside and juicy inside, a solid complement to the heavier noodle bowls. Service is quick and friendly, and the food comes out efficiently even when the restaurant is busy. The staff handle the steady flow without losing the casual neighborhood feel, making it an easy place to stop by whether you are dining alone or with a group. The menu has enough variety without feeling overwhelming, and the focus stays clearly on the ramen. Menkoi Sao is a solid option for anyone looking for authentic feeling Hokkaido style ramen in New York. The portions are generous, the flavors are bold, and the bowls are the type of meal that feels especially satisfying on a colder day. While the richer broths may be heavier than what some people prefer, it works well for anyone who enjoys a more traditional, full-bodied ramen experience that delivers on warmth, depth, and comfort.

    Genuinely... no offense meant. But I miss the old ramen spot that used to be here a few years ago…read more I've been back twice since this new crew took over and it's decent, but it's not like the old spot. I always used to come here for chicken tantanmen ramen, especially in the winter months. I've tried their version... it's not bad but it's exceptionally spicer than the last owners. I personally love heat, but it's like overpowering, you lose the flavor of everything else. Which I understand is some people's thing, I just wish it was spicy, not SUPER spicy. Last time I came here I got the miso chicken, it was good, but lacked that punch I want in my ramen experience. I will say, however, that the fried chicken is to die for! Worth the $20. Also, the service is impeccable on. The people are very kind. Last time I came they gave me a bib because I was wearing a dress and she was so sweet about it. She even accommodated me at the window because I'm a larger person and sitting on those little stools is like sitting on a nail when you have a butt as big as mine. The environment is just like it was before and gives me fond memories of the years I spent in West Village working. Cozy, off the beaten path, and always busy. I guess I just miss my old Ramen and the memories attached to it. I'll be back again to try something new!

Buns were incredibly good - a close second to a joint in Chicago we ate at last weekend. Succulent meat, plenty of sauce, and just the usual pillowy bun. The edamame didn't seem spicy at first - then my face melted. Still good but a deep burning spiciness to them as advertised. For my entree I got the beef miso ramen, adding corn and an egg. The corn wasn't just a pile of kernels - but a side slice of a cob. Cool presentation. Beef was good and the broth soothed my soul. Top 10 ramen places I've been - well done.
