[[HIGHLIGHT]]This tiny restaurant was crowded on the weekend.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was served fast, we didn't wait that long for our spicy ramen, the pork buns, pickled cucumbers. Ramen and the pickled cucumbers were good but not so much with the pork buns, it was a bit bland to our taste. read more

This is for the chicken curry platter (~$20) - very flavorful and great portion size for the price! Leaves you full and satisfied. We have gotten this for take out quite a few times as we live nearby. I haven't dined in yet but the take out has been consistent. The ramen is decent (nothing wrong with it but just wish the meat was prob fresher, etc.) but I recommend the chicken curry! read more

Naruto Ramen - Ramen Near Me - New York, New York

I came to Naruto Ramen after a bad experience at another Ramen restaurant because I was really craving Ramen and I had a feeling I could rely on this spot for a nice in-restaurant experience. I was instantly given a good seat by the window and when I made my order of Tonkotsu Ramen and Vegetable Gyoza the food came out really fast. The prices were also great for the amount of food that I got, and I didn't leave the restaurant hungry. The flavors in the broth combined with how perfectly the pork belly was cooked and the amount of noodles and vegetables made it perfect. This was also my first time really trying gyoza and while I prefer buns, shumai, or dumplings, they were still really good. I think next time I'll try shrimp gyoza if they have it and will probably add extra vegetables. So excited to come back. read more

I went full Ichiraku mode and ordered the classic Naruto ramen. Have I had better ramen before? Believe it! But did I enjoy this spot? Perhaps... My bestie--who's currently grinding in law school like she's training for the Chunin Exams--wanted to try this place because she loves Naruto. [[HIGHLIGHT]]So, major points for the theme![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But the food? Just okay. It didn't quite hit like a warm bowl of ramen after an S-rank mission. Would I return? Probably not.

This place is amazing. Its very small,but the most incredible waitress there is so on top of keeping the service top notch,not only is she kind,friendly,knows the menu inside out...she remembers you from last time,and your order!!! She makes the whole place turn over quickly with expert efficiency and ease. Im sure the cooks,who you can see behind the counter,have something to do with all of it as well! Lol The food is sooo good that I dream of it,always craving the soup and gyoza and going back often ..I love the Tan Tan ground pork noodle soup and fried pan pork gyoza. All of the dishes I see come out look so delicious! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I see people on dates there,families with kids,single people..they can handle it all.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Go! Enjoy!!!! read more

Ordered two of the chicken shoyu ramens for my boyfriend and I let me just say this is a 1 out of 5 absolutely disgusting especially for the amount I paid definitely not worth going here. Don't waste your time way better Ramen places out there The food was cold and taste very spicy. Not like it was last time I ordered this other than that, however the vegetable spring rolls and the seaweed salad was really good. read more

So I ordered Naruto Ramen for delivery today through Uber Eats. I honestly couldn't remember if I liked this place or not, so my siblings and I decided to give it another shot. I got the Spicy Miso Ramen with chicken instead of pork belly, my brother got the Curry Ramen with chicken, and my sister got what I think was the Seafood Ramen. They both enjoyed theirs, but unfortunately, I didn't love mine. The spicy miso broth tasted a lot like buffalo sauce, which was kind of strange for ramen--it just didn't hit the right flavor notes for me. I ate it, but I wouldn't order that again. We also tried the crab rangoon, and it tasted a little stale--not super fresh, which was a bit disappointing. Delivery itself was smooth and on time, and the restaurant does have lots of good reviews, so maybe I just picked the wrong dish. I don't eat beef or pork, so finding good chicken ramen can be tricky. I might give Naruto Ramen another try with a different option, but this round was just okay. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This place was amazing. From the decor to the food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The best ramen I ever had I don't think I could go back to store bought. The curry ramen is so amazing so flavorful it was so tasty. The chicken in it is seasoned so well everything was exceptional. The service is great they have one waitress but she gets it done. I did pick up my food but next time I am definitely eating here. Bowls are 19 each and I had fried rice it was also good at 9 dollars. read more

I could've sworn I wrote a review for this place earlier this year. Anyway, it's anime themed, as its name implies, and the walls and shelves feature a myriad of anime characters. Honestly though, it's less Naruto and more DBZ and One Piece, not that it matters. Food-wise, the Naruto ramen (with added spice) is my favorite, and they do make chicken karaage well here too. Both are good value for the money. I've tried the Curry ramen and tantan ramen and would pass on both. Prices are fair. There's not a ton of seating for large parties, but any party around 4 people should be fine. I've been coming here for a while as my go-to ramen nearby and I don't regret it. read more

Probably the most disappointing ramen I've had. I had the Miso ramen and it lacked flavor. The noodles weren't fresh everything was just ok. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is small not many seats available.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

A delicious ramen place is rare on the upper east side. One dish here is about $20, so it's not cheap, but not expensive either. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is very limited seating space so it's best to take one or two people max with you.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If there is a line, you will be standing on the sidewalk for a while. I've eaten there probably a score of times in the last 7 years. The ramen is excellent. The classic naruto and the tom yum are my favorites in their own ways. A major downside to me is when restaurants push for tips on pickup/takeout orders. Tipping in general is out of control, but this leaves a bad taste in your mouth no matter how your meal is prepared. Naruto Ramen has started doing this recently and I really wish they wouldn't. read more

Had a lunch today at Naruto on Broadway. I'm very much fan of shoyu ramen and not many shoyu ramen places in New York. Many tonkotsu base or thick chicken broth. I had a gyoza and Naruto ramen today and I enjoyed very much. Gyoza was good but for us Japanese should be with vinegar soy sauce with hot chili oil witch we call raayu. They had hot sauce but different from raayu. That was only what I point out but otherwise great everything else including their wait staff. House made gyoza and nothing special but great plain shoyu ramen. Only a few such a great shoyu ramen place in New York after "Kitakata Ban-Nai " closed. I also point out great waiter today. read more

A solid bowl of ramen given this is the UWS. I was really happy with my Naruto ramen. I got it spicy and there was a good amount of spice with some nice chunks of meat. My party of two was seated pretty much immediately on a weekday for dinner. Service was smooth and they checked in with us pretty regularly to refill drinks/ask how things were. This Naruto ramen location is definitely one of the better ones in the city. I'll be back. read more

Naruto Ramen - Spicy Naruto - Ramen Near Me - New York, New York

Walked in 40 mins before closing and they were still taking walk-ins but they had completed cleaned the bar area. I was seated at a table on my own. There was one other table being occupied. My server came back a few times after dropping off the menu to take my order. I was reading yelp reviews but didnt take more than 5 minutes so i knew they were rushing to close up. 1/5 Cilantro bomb (Tom yum ramen) - i ate it bc i was hungry. The broth didn't have depth and did not taste like it was tom yum inspired. It had a bit of a kick and there were 3 lemon slices dropped directly into the soup which seemed like the extent of the tom yum influence. On the menu it is also called cilantro ramen. There is a lot of cilantro on it but that did not translate to the broth. There were only a few pieces of chicken and small pieces at that. Pretty disappointing bowl. 2/5 Karaage - i saw someone's review say it was too crispy. What i got wasnt very crispy. Perhaps they were trying to get the food out quickly. It was very hot- too hot actually but I'm glad it was fresh. The chicken was tender and easy to eat once it was cool enough but not what i was expecting for karaage and the portion was smaller than i thought it would be. Both items were so disappointing that i am not even interested in trying other items here. I had heard a lot of good things about Naruto Ramen but after trying it i do not understand the hype. Presentation of the food and service were good but beyond that was pretty disappointing. read more

I came here after reading the reviews. I got off work later and wanted something hot, fast and not too heavy on my stomach. I order the cilantro bomb and it was pretty good.

Very delicious, no frills ramen. The spicy Naruto ramen had great flavor without being overtly spicy. A great option when you need a big bowl of ramen to just help you get thru the day. Unlike other local spots the noodles don't stand out probably because they are not handmade. It's a small shop with friendly staff. The anime decor and toys make you feel like it's after school in front of your tv free of worries. Will define my be back! read more

Naruto Ramen - Naruto Ramen Spicy Naruto - Ramen Near Me - New York, New York

I rarely give out 5 stars, but after much consideration (if I could give partial stars I would say this is a 4.7 star), I have given it the highest accolades that yelp will allow. This is my go-to ramen joint being cheap and easily accessible. They also have a Naruto Ramen in the UES which I frequent more often than the one here. Note, this is a Soy Sauce based broth/soup so if you don't like light and some what watery, you won't be able to fully enjoy the ramen. While the ramen used to only be $8-$9 for their regular bowl, it is now $11-$12 for the regular. Still though, after adding in and requesting super super spicy, this ramen always hits the spot. Don't forget to also order the Fried Rice which while unhealthy is a great to-go meal after a long night out. read more

Eat in, if you can find space, or take it to go or order delivery. This place is pretty spot on when it comes to ramen, veggies and a kick-ass broth. The portions are ample and flavors are spot on. The service is quick and friendly. They have a customer wall where you can ask to have your picture taken, in-store, and they will put it up. This location hosted a number of events-- at least pre-COVID. A great staple to this neighborhood that really doesn't get enough credit or fanfare. The food is good and they know how to handle spice levels if you request it. If you're not into ramen, they make decent dumplings, buns, fried rice, platters and other light bites. It may not be a destination with lots of frills but it's definitely worth checking out when you're in the area. Check them out! read more

Lazy, unprofessional and offensive. I came in wanting just a quick, simple serving of ramen on a rainy evening but was hassled and told that I'd need to take it to go because of the late hour. When I pointed out it was more than 40 min til close and that I just wanted a quick meal, and the other guests sitting in the restaurant looked up, the woman gave me the biggest eye roll and pointed me to a table behind her back very disrespectfully without looking at me. If looks could kill! Shame on this establishment. read more

I have to admit that I prefer the east side location. But the Ramen is delicious and better than other Ramen places in the upper west side. My only complaint is that the service can be slow. They seem to always be understaffed. read more

You have to try the tom yum ramen. You must. Every drop of broth is delightful and the noodles are nice and chewy, soak up the broth nicely, and the plating is also cute. I didn't try any of their other ramen yet but I will be coming back. The takoyaki is alright, I've had better. The karaage is a bit on the hard/oily side so not my fav but Tom yum yamen y'all. If you try one thing u gotta try that. The place is decked with anime posters, figurines, and art, really cute tbh. It's also pretty small. There are about 4-5 small tables I saw last time I went, but there are also single seats along the counter, bar style. Great place to come with your friends to chill. Our server was also really sweet and helped us decide what to order :) read more

Their signature Ramen was quite good the broth was light and tasty. And everything that accompanied it with it was pretty good. The char Sui tender and tasty , and the egg was well seasoned but a little overcooked. Overall if you're looking for a backstreet style Tokyo Ramen shop this is it ! I will be returning!

Naruto is my fave Japanese Ramen place in NYC. My Go To location is in Park Slope. I was in the Upper West Side visiting my friend so we choose this location. My friend had a baby carriage and the waitress was nice to accommodate us. The restaurant is very narrow. She suggested to return in 10 mins. We came back but my friend's baby was crying like crazy and had to go. I ended up eating on my own which is just fine. Food was great. Will came back again and try the other ramen versions.

Excellent eggy firm ramen noodles, anime drawings & figurines, & fast service makes this a real worthwhile trip for Naruto fans, anime fans & ramen fans who like eggy noodles. 5* We all ordered the namesake Naruto Ramen which, according to my Naruto fans in tow, is how the ramen looks like in the Naruto anime. Apparently Naruto (the anime character) eats this ramen in every episode. They were happy to have Naruto's ramen. They approve! 5*. The waitress said some fans even come to eat here in anime costumes. How fun! Wished there was even more Naruto related decor. These eggy ramen noodles are exactly how I like it in ramens. Prefer them over wheat noodles. Toppings and broth are basic and good (much better than initial expectations which was it must be subpar if using anime to lure people in. Instead was so glad to have come in!) 4.5* = $13 Lunch Special 1 ramen (A. Naruto, B. miso, C. curry) + 1 appetizer (1. 4piece gyoza, 2. 1/2fried rice, 3. 1/2 curry & fried chicken plate, 4. daily rice bowl) Lunch special is a good $ deal with portions good for the appetizers but better to lower expectations for quality of the appetizers to 3*. Check out their menu for other specials and offerings. One improvement request is for less sticky tables. Know gets wiped down and cleaned but perhaps using a different cleaning solution or even changing to new tables because it feels old and slightly sticky. 2* Located -near the SE corner of Broadway & 100th St on the Upper Westside read more

For true ramen lovers, stay away. I had the MEGA Naruto bowl, which is supposed to be a large version of their signature noodle bowl. It was probably one of the worst ramen bowls I've had in my life - the broth was very cloudy and lacked the richness and depth of flavor that you usually get when it's done right. They also added sautéed cabbage and carrots in the ramen - I've never experienced this in my life. The staff and service were great but the food was very subpar. read more

It's fair to say that this place is very busy secondary to the compactness of dining in. It takes a while for the servers to reach you as well which is surprising for how small this diner is. The ramen I ordered was substituted for veggie broth and it was good. But my friends and I came to the conclusion that they rely on the spice to overcompensate the flavor of the broth. Otherwise without the spice the broth was mediocre. The other issue was that the noodles were over cooked and that took away from the taste of the ramen. The serving size is huge for your money and that's a positive because you will leave full. Moreover, our waiter forgot to bring us the gyoza and edamame we ordered, so I can't really review that. So the service here did lack a little bit. Additionally, there were a lot of flies in the shop and that was annoying as you would swat and eat. All in all, most likely will order here again but it will be for takeout. It was nice eating with a community of people who all enjoyed watching the show Naruto although there was more DBZ and Jujutsu Kaizen merch spread around the shop. read more
