I ordered the Shoyu Ramen (chicken stock, straight noodles, chicken, soft-boiled egg, bamboo shoots, scallions, nori). Honestly? It was just okay. On paper, all the right elements are there, but the execution was incredibly average. The broth lacked real depth, and the whole bowl was just pretty forgettable. Nothing to write home about. If you're in the area and need a quick, straightforward bite, it does the job. Just don't expect to be blown away.

The ramen was ordered and 8 minutes later delivered to my table. I loved how the servers easily made me comfortable with room temperature water, my menu and personal space to look through the menu. I ordered green tea which is not on the menu and this ramen. The egg is one of my favorite parts of ramen. The deluxe comes with five pieces of pork with two eggs. I felt satisfied with this versus ordering additional egg with the classic. They provided to go jar for me to take the broth home. Perfect.

Ambiance/Atmosphere Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon for…read morelunch with a friend. It's a small, cute spot right next to Central Park, with a fun mural on the wall telling the legend of Crossing-Bridge Rice Noodles. Cozy and easy for a casual midday meal. Appetizers The rainbow dumplings were the visual highlight, five colors lined up on the plate with a nice chili dipping sauce. Fun to look at and solid, though more eye-catching than memorable on flavor. Mains We went with the dan dan-style noodles and the spicy ramen hot pot. The noodles came topped with peanuts, sesame, and scallions in a savory sauce, and the hot pot arrived bubbling with a rich red broth, egg, cabbage, and tofu. Both were pretty good and satisfying, but nothing quite jumped out, mostly because there are so many bold, flavorful ramen places nearby setting a high bar. Drinks Decent range on the menu, including non-carbonated options like Calpico, Wong Lo Kat, and Arctic Ocean orange soda alongside the usual teas and sodas. Service Fast and efficient. We were seated, served, and taken care of quickly with no wait. Verdict Four stars. A cute, convenient spot by the park with quick service and pretty good food. It doesn't stand out from the strong ramen competition in the area, but it's a solid, reliable choice for a casual lunch.

We only had to wait about 15 minutes before getting seated. They definitely get crowded though, so it's best to have a reservation! During "lunch" hours, the place is brightly light. Once "dinner" hours comes around, they set out candles on the tables and dim the lights for a different ambiance. The service was a bit off at first, since we waited a while to get our appetizers. This might have been due to the change in staff between lunch and dinner. The hostess noticed and checked on our appetizers, and got them right out. Afterwards, we had different waiter and he was very friendly and attentive. We did the Pick 3 appetizers: -Kyuri (cucumber): love the mix of flavors with the onions, vinegar and salt. The kyuri has a good bite to them -Kimchi Mushroom: the mushrooms also had a good bite to them. Not too spicy of a kimchi sauce, which I liked as it did bot overpower the mushrooms. -Shishito: I enjoyed the saltiness of the kelp with the char of the shishito. I went for the Tsukemen, which I loved at the Brooklyn location. This was just as good! The noodles had a good bite and the right thickness for the rich broth. I like the lemon on the side to help cut some of the richness. The egg is well marinated and perfectly jammy. The Hassaku Grapefruit Juice is a nice non alcoholic option. Very grapefruity and too sweet. We ended with the Tokyo Banana, which had a deliciously bruleed banana. They wrote Happy Birthday on the plate and had a little candle on the side. We only put it in the reservation, so it was nice of them to do. Overall, a great ramen spot to check out!

I really debated which one I liked more!

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.
