Beautiful bowl of ramen with a rich, flavorful broth and perfectly cooked toppings. The hot sauce was especially impressive. The balance of oil and spices allowed the heat to spread evenly across the top of the broth instead of overpowering it, which really elevated the overall flavor of the dish. The atmosphere was cozy, the presentation was great, and it's definitely a spot worth checking out if you enjoy a solid bowl of ramen. I was also the first customer of the day, and the owner was extremely welcoming. He mentioned they've been in business for over a decade, and honestly, you can taste the experience and care in the flavors. Definitely feels like a place that takes pride in what they serve. read more

Food and service was good, wish they had more ramen options without meat. And the spicy can be more spicy

Sometimes you just need a quiet, neat place to enjoy a wholesome meal to remind yourself about life's simple pleasures. Nana Ramen is one of those places. My wife and I came here on a blustery winter night looking for some comfort food. We sat in the wooden seating and felt very relaxed. Instrumental guitar music played quietly above while we ordered hot and sparkling sakes. The sparkling was the star here. I'm not sure what Nana means in Japanese but the vibe is very homey. The tables are fairly close together, prompting lower volume speaking levels. We ordered the Karaage and the ramen featuring kimchi and tofu, and another with chasu chicken. The Karaage fried chicken was ok. It lacked salt and seasoning but came with this sauce that had some component that my palate wasn't feeling, maybe miso. My wife loved the sauce, and she loves miso so there you go. We each enjoyed our ramen, especially the rich flavorful broths. The noodles were nicely al dente, but otherwise didn't have much flavor, nor did they absorb the flavors of the broth. As they are usually my favorite part of ramen, I was pleasantly surprised that the broth was the real star of the dish. But that's usually the case with good ramen. Our server was on quietly on point, and I got the sense that she was an/the owner. It's a cozy place to come a read a good book while enjoying a warming bowl of ramen. read more

I love the ramen here! Such a cute little spot. Bring cash! We ordered two orders of the gyoza and the Black Tonkotsu ramen to go. You can't go wrong with these. A perfectly jammy egg in the ramen, bits of meat in the broth and generous meat inside. The ramen in the fridge did solidify a bit, not sure why, but was just as good once I reheated it the next day. The gyoza comes 4 at a time and they were fried to crispy perfection and accompanied by a long green pepper. My goal is to eventually try their entire menu. The inside of this spot is super cozy and perfect for a winter date night. read more

Wow! quaint lil ramen spot in Brooklyn! The seaweed salad was so fresh and my dad wanted something spicy to go with it and they offered mustard that had a hint of wasabi. The best mustard ever and i dont even like mustard! I also ordered the japanese seafood pancake with scallions and kewpie sauce and loved the texture and flavor. I had the nana curry ramen and it was so tasteful and matched the right combination of curry flavor. I will definitely come back here and try the other apps the server recommended. Only thing i didn't check when coming here was that it was cash only but they also have a atm machine on site with $1+ fee read more

Nana Ramen - nana curry ramen - Ramen Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

One of the neighborhood's best spots- I'd eat ramen here any day of the week, any season. Their broth is exceptional (not too salty) and their noodles and ingredients are always extremely fresh. We were so full, but I am still dying to try their gyoza, as we had order envy at the table to our left. The black Tonkotsu is to die for! read more

Okay came here on 7/19 randomly for dinner and didn't see Irene working here. I was starving, so we ordered the gyoza even if I am not a fan of their filling and I ordered 2 extra bowls of noodles. The other waitress asked if we wanted egg noodles the one that comes with my spicy miso or the other noodles that came with the tonkotsu. I have never been asked this before, so it threw me off but I appreciated it. I ended up asking for both versions and L got the egg noodles and A and I shared the other lm bowl. When the gyoza came, A bit into it first and said they changed the feeling they must've heard your complaints. When I saw the filling, I noticed it did come with more greens and it's better than the previous version, but it's still something that's not worth praising. Once the Tonkotsu arrived, I immediately saw a difference in the egg. This egg yolk wasn't gooey. It was a firm yolk and presentation didn't look the same. Once I tasted my Spicy Miso, I knew something was up. It didn't have any kick or flavour. I was like wait did they change chefs? I asked and the owner's daughter said he's on vacation and her dad is cooking. I am sorry, even if he's the one that came up with the recipe, the other chef perfected it. Even A said tonkotsu lacked flavour as well. I wish I took a picture of both of the ramens to show the side by side difference, but I didn't because I come here way too much to be documenting the same Spicy Miso and Tonkotsu and gyoza. I need that chef to come back ASAP and next time he goes on vacay, show the owner how it's done. I was highly disappointed and the other chef was so personable too. read more

Not sure if there was a change in ownership or menu but went back after 6 months and got even better than the last time. Would have given a 4 star then and 5 now due to the flavors, noodle bounciness, service, ambiance, and overall dining experience. Limited seating and a bit hard to get seating on weekends but highly recommend for an after work dinner and happy hour! Or a date night, will have anyone impressed. Cash only!!

Hate the cash only- but love Nana Ramen. If you want a cozy bowl of ramen this is your jam- I always get the black Tonkotsu. I also love that they'll whip up plain noodles and broth for the littles. read more

Excellent food, excellent service, clean and warm ambiance. Will be back for more soon!

Black Tonkotsu was amazing! The music was great, the vibes were sweet and the staff was so kind!

The only place in the area with area with Okonomiyaki.& it's phenomenal *drools* I don't know how I can always put back so much food when I come here but it's alll so good and I've never had a problem finishing my meals. I also like the tan tan ramen, pork gyoza, the tako yaki & other menu items. I don't think you can go wrong here with anything. read more

My favorite ramen in all of Brooklyn. I particularly like their Tan Tan with added bok choy. Absolutely perfect flavor and consistency. Broth is flavorful, spicy (not too spicy), not too salty. And the ramen has the perfectly dense consistency. Nice selection of appetizers as well. 10 out of 10. I only wish I can get it delivered! read more

For my last sit-down meal in Brooklyn, my sister took me to her local ramen spot which is Nana Ramen. It's a small and cozy restaurant with plenty of ramen options to choose from. I decided on the kimchi ramen (added minced pork) and the sausage appetizer. The sausage and karaage (that my sister ordered) were great! A meal could easily be made from these two apps alone. The kimchi ramen was perfect. Soup tasted mildly like kimchi chigae but a much lighter version. I enjoyed all of the toppings in the ramen, too (corn, seaweed. Bok choy, kimchi). It wasn't overwhelming and there were plenty of noodles, too! Service was fine, albeit a little slow at times but there seems to be only one lady that is overseeing the FOH. Also - this place is CASH ONLY. read more

Stopped by with two friends after some indoor, hungry ofc. Ordered the karaage, takoyaki, & gyozas to start. The chicken was fried perfectly, the best of the three in our opinion. Takoyaki was good but the tako was chewier than I've had before. Gyozas solid. Black tonkastsu ramen with an extra egg and made spicy - 10/10. The spicy-level was perfect for me and had me sweating, broth was a beautiful watercolor-looking swirl of black with cream & noodles were yum - uff it was chef's kiss and tasted way better than my friend's regular black tonkatsu if you can handle the heat. Industrial decor/lighting inside was different for this kind of cuisine, but friends and myself liked it. Would happily come back again! read more

Was craving ramen again and decided to grab a bowl here for take out during lunch hour. I ordered the Black Tonkotsu ramen and it was packaged nicely with the soup in a separate pint. It hit the spot - nice springy noodles, Japanese wood ear, two slices of chashu, a soft boiled egg in a flavorful broth. Restaurant was very quiet during a weekday lunch hour and service was friendly. Cash only though - $17.40 in total. read more

Nana Ramen - Black Tonkotsu Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Good solid food that tastes fresh and delicious every time! The ambiance is nice with the low lighting and lots of little creative decoration choices that make the space feel warm and comfortable. The service is nice but they only have 1 person running the cash register, delivering food, and taking orders so things take a little bit. I wouldn't recommend this place for authentic Japanese food/Ramen but it's still great! Also it's CASH ONLY! But there is an atm in the building. read more

I think Nana Ramen is not very authentic Japanese? Curry ramen has coconut milk in it, so it definitely has a Thai-influence. I was expecting the brown Japanese curry flavor, so that was a bit disappointing. There's also bokchoy in it, so it's confusing. I don't hate the black tonkatsu, but the soft-boiled egg doesn't work in ramen like this. And there's only 1/2 of it. Again, I expected the soy-marinated one. The chicken karaage is good, and I like the crispy batter with the skin on. Overall, Nana Ramen's food gets 3.5/5. Decent prices for nyc! Staff mask, and service is fast for a Fri night dine-in. Interior is nice and modern, and I like the industrial light fixtures! CASH ONLY! If you're hungry, it's a decent spot for Asian food in the area. I don't think I will be back. read more

3.5 is my overall score. Went for lunch during the week and sat outside. The karaage was delicious! Especially with the sauce but the portion size was small. My friend ordered the Paitan Ramen. I sampled a bit and I loved the chicken. I ordered the Tan Tan Ramen which came with minced pork. It wasn't bad at all but it wasn't the flavor that I'm used to. I added the hot chilli oil and all was well. read more

Use to be 10/10 but May be my last time here as the food has changed. Used to be my fav ramen in nyc now it's more like mid. Always watered down and I literally can't taste the broth anymore. :-( I can tell it's a new cook even goyza are huge now. Minor changes but huge taste change. Sorry because the staff is so kind but I can't be spending $50 on stuff I'm not in love with read more

What can I say about good ramen? It's freaking good. Spicy miso had a good kick but honestly wasn't too spicy, could've had more heat. But the broth was really flavorful, I didn't let a single drop go to waste! Nice small ramen spot! Cash only though!! But luckily there is an ATM inside the shop in case you need it. read more

I am jealous that my friend lives across the street from one of the best ramen spots I have had to date! It was a chillier day so it was perfect for ramen. My eyes lit up when I saw takoyaki on the menu, and I was surprised to be the only one in the party familiar with it. I quickly ordered some for the table, and everyone enjoyed! Takoyaki is one of those treats I wish I could have more often. So enjoyable! Every aspect of the ramen I got was great, from the texture of the noodles and flavor of the broth to all of the extras that were in there. As always, I love the ramen bowls themselves. They always have such delightful designs and make the whole experience all the more worth it. If you like ramen, I recommend stopping by here. Or, be like my friend and move across the street from here so you can have it for breakfast! One thing to note is that they're cash only, so make sure you're prepared! read more

Casual and easy neighborhood ramen spot. Love the cold ramen! Great for take out or a quick bite. Cash only! Nice team.

Spicy miso ramen I passed out after an hour from excruciating abdominal pain, sweating like pouring rain, vomitting, diarrhea. Being unconscious in a bathroom for hours, when collapsing, I hit my head and one side of the face somehwere and it is truly a horrendous nightmare. Damage still going on - Both internal and external. Ingredients are not clean and ramen is very cheap and low quality for the price. (I have no food allergy, it's about unclean food) Never again. read more

The ramen taste was good for the broth, but the pork was dry and the soft boiled egg was undercooked and was flavorless. When I bit into it the white part underneath the yolk it showed that it needed a minute more and I would've preferred an over cooked not a runny middle than under cooked especially with someone of these reviews showing food poisoning. read more

They only take cash, the food was not that great. The service was nice. If you're into Ramen you will likely enjoy but for a newbie like me it didn't make me feel like I'm missing anything. read more

Nana Ramen - Chicken dumpling ramen - Ramen Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Really saddens me to write this because I really do enjoy the ramen here. I won't name the reason because I honestly don't know. I'll just share my experience and let you come to your own conclusion. I walked in this evening and was seated at a two seater. I spent about 30-35 minutes in the restaurant before departing. During that time 7 people who were seated after me that made up 3 different parties were served with alcohol, water, and/or had their orders taken. Before the waitress got to the second party seated after me I raised my hand silently to signal to her that I was patiently to be served. If you've been here, then you know it is a pretty small space, so a hand raise is hard to miss. At one point the server and I made eye contact. When I saw her serve the third party that was seated after me, I silently began packing my things. One of the two patrons next to me who were dining before I arrived noticed me leaving and in an attempt to bring comfort I guess said "I think she is the only one working." I calmly replied that "I've been coming here for years (cause there's usually only one person working the floor), and that I was seated before all of these people," while pointing to the each party. He didn't deny what I said and simply replied "oh." The black woman who was having dinner with him nodded in agreement as I am sure she also had her own thoughts as to what she observed. In the 30-35 minutes I was there, I never received a glass of water, had my order taken, or even a check-in/update. I walked a few doors to the Trad Room and was served within 5-6 minutes of being there and checked on multiple times. I was the only black woman dining at Nana Ramen during the time that I was there that did not have a non-black companion. Just poor service I guess. read more

It's true, I make a lot of bad life decisions. You'd think eating hot ramen in 75 degree summer would be one of them, but it isn't! Thankfully, Nana blasts their air conditioning. Plus they have a super cute backyard with separated booths (like Japan, duh). They also take social distancing really seriously. When I went, they were going out of their way to not seat people at tables next to each other (within reason). They have a great Japanese beer selection. I got a bottle I'd never heard of before - a Kyoto Yamadinishiki Ale (try saying that 3x fast). It was very tasty. For my ramen, I went with the black tonkotsu. It was pretty basic, with a few hunks of chasu and mushrooms. It was filling, but I think the black tonkotsu at Setagaya is way better. Not a place I'd go out of my way to go to, but if you're in the area, go for it! read more

Food ALLERGIES please BEWARE!!! I had the black tonkotsu ramen for the 5th time, and had a horrible, scary allergic reaction! I come here often, but the last time I came, I had an extreme severe reaction. I am only allergic to milk protein (milk, whey, butter), and carry an epi pen, as it can be fatal. When calling the restaurant to figure out what happened, the owner, two chefs, and even the server completely denied it. (There was cross contamination, in the very least.) If you have a severe allergy, sadly I have to warn you to please, please avoid this business at all cost. It was literally my favorite restaurant in my neighborhood, but not anymore. I will never go back and put my life at risk-especially when the Owner and chefs denied it! Again, if you have severe food allergies PLEASE take caution, as Nana ramen did not, and I wound up extremely ill. Thank goodness we caught it soon. read more

If you're looking for ramen broth with deep flavor that first spoonful, this isn't it. I think it's a nice spot for locals, but for $15 a bowl I don't think broth is worth it because it tastes just like a packet ramen. It is worth noting that the restaurant makes effort with presentation which is nice. 1) Had the kaki fry or fried oysters which was on a bed of greens with tonkatsu sauce over it and I think some sort of dressing. It was yummy but a Tartar sauce would have been nice. 2) Shoyu ramen I think was better of the two. It came with 3 tiny poor flavored tsukune chicken (meatballs). The noodles were poor quality. 3) Paitan ramen simply shouldn't be called that because paitan broth are supposed to be deeply rich and flavorful. Again poor quality noodles. Note that they give you boiled egg and not soy sauce egg. I thought the chicken chashu was good though! Overall, I think it's nice to have a ramen spot in the neighborhood. It had a pretty interior and lighting overall good vibe However, if you want quality ramen there's so many others in the city. read more

This place was good but it wasn't the best. The service is excellent which is why I didn't knock off too many stars. However, the broth lacks in flavor. It's good if you're new to ramen but I've been to many places and this just doesn't have the flavor profile to be Tonkotsu ramen. Also, the Agedashi tofu was okay. It didn't have a crispy texture that I'm used to having but the dashi broth was very flavorful. read more

I really enjoyed this place. I loved the customer service. It was small and cute. I enjoy that vibe. I would have liked more non pork options for the Ramen but I think that's how ramen is typically made so I might just be a bit of a brat. Overall I thought it was a nice place, it was a rainy day so perfect for Ramen. They also had a green tea crème Brulee which I thought was really cool. I love crème brûlée. I'm sometimey about green tea flavored food so I didn't love the taste but I'm biased. I think it's def worth a try and if you enjoy green tea as a flavor I'm sure it'll be a hit! I also had the shrimp shumai which was really tasty! There were small shrimp on the top of the shumai which I thought was a nice touch read more
