After my uncle & I visited the Museum of Moving Images, we decided to have lunch at this location…read moresince it was within walking distance. We arrived at a great time as walk-ins, a little before 12PM. There were still a few seats available. Immediately after getting our seat, the restaurant became packed and a waiting list began to form--so I definitely recommend coming a bit earlier to ensure a seat. The interior is small, but cozy. I enjoyed the cups they served us, which had a cute Susuru design. The broth of the ramen was very flavorful. The ramen noodles were a bit on the thicker side than what I'm used to at other locations, which perfectly soaked up the broth. A great gem in a convenient location!

However, its tiny dining room often means long wait times and limited seating. The signature chicken paitan broth is slow-cooked for 8 hours to create a rich, creamy, and flavorful milky soup. Locals highly recommend the Kuro ramen (featuring rich black garlic oil) and the Deluxe ramen. They also serve a highly rated Veggie Miso. Appetizers shine here. The Garlic Edamame and Takoyaki are fan favorites, and the Chicken Karaage is a must-try. Authentic and cozy. The space is incredibly small with limited seating and does not offer outdoor dining. Expect long wait times for a table during peak dinner and weekend hours. This food place that offers delicious savory broth paired with springy, bouncy noodles is definitely worth a try.

I loved that the inside was full of chunks of octopus. I ordered their miso ramen as my entree and I really enjoyed everything about it. The broth was very tasty, the noodles were cooked perfectly; next time I would just ordered extra meat since it only comes with 2 slices. It was such a big bowl I had to take some home. I tried their moshi Fuji apple sparking water and thought it was very refreshing. Our server was very attentive and friendly. I will definitely be returning when I'm in the mood for some good ramen.

I've had Mochiron Izakaya bookmarked for a while, so expectations were... not sky-high, but…read moredefinitely higher than what we got. We went all in on the skewers with the assorted combo (thigh, breast, meatball, pork belly, the whole lineup including bacon-wrapped everything), plus yaki ika, takoyaki, and fried oysters. On paper, this should've been a fun, izakaya-style spread. In reality, it all landed somewhere firmly in the "fine, I guess" category. The yakitori platter was the biggest letdown--nothing was outright bad, but everything felt a little lifeless. The meats leaned dry, the seasoning didn't quite hit, and even the bacon-wrapped items (which should be a guaranteed win) somehow came off underwhelming. The yaki ika was chewy without much depth beyond the sweet soy + mayo combo, and the takoyaki lacked that soft, almost molten center you want. Fried oysters were decent, but not enough to save the spread. Service matched the food: polite but forgettable. No major issues, just minimal engagement and a general "going through the motions" vibe.

I was craving carbonara and it was after midnight. I almost gave up hope thinking nothing would be…read moreopen and my cravings wouldn't go unfulfilled. But at last, as I searched on DoorDash I stumbled upon this glorious restaurant they call Izakaya Fuku. I was drawn to the adorable names for their sushi roll dishes like "Strawberry Fields" and their Italian Japanese fusion pasta dishes, "Creamy Mentaiko Bacon Pasta" with creamy mayonnaise, spicy cod roe and bacon like are you kidding me? It's a bummer I wasn't more hunger or that I didn't have more bucks in my wallet because I wanted all these dishes. And the Chirashi Don, god it looks so beautiful the way that it's arranged in the photos online. I finally decided on the carbonara. And I was drawn to the fact that it was udon based. Now, I've just been living in hawaii these past years so that Japanese twist on an Italian dish that I just love oh so much really brought me back to missing the islands and the Asian spins they had on cuisines. Now my food may have not come in a jiffy but for after midnight cravings I'd say it was well worth the wait. And my oh my the portion was huge!!!! I slurped that big boy up. It was SOOO delicious and savory. I love comfort food and this had me in carbonara heaven. I loved indulging into every single last bite. By the looks of the picture the restaurant looks lovely, I'd love to stop there and try it in person. Thank you. Thank you! My belly and my heart are very much satisfied.

The service was attentive yet not pushy. Knowledgeable and hospitable without being extra. Just chill and on point overall. They definitely read the room and that's my favorite kind of service. The food: Chicken curry katsu! Perfection! Carbonara udon! Delightful! Black garlic ramen! Delicious! Whatever you choose I'm sure you will not be disappointed! Honestly. And tbh, literally because of that, we're headed back today! lol. Like for real no joke haha

UPDATED (for 2 additional visits) - It is our fav ramen spot in LIC/Astoria!…read moreAmbiance (5/5): The establishment has a very sleek interior with an open, welcoming layout. Although close to other tables, when I dined there was no one nearby. There is also bar seating in the front. Service (5/5): I came on a weekend night at 7:30p and there was no wait. Tonkotsu ramen (5/5): Pro move: ask for the thicker noodles (pic is original dish of thin noodles) This was a superb bowl of ramen! The broth is very umami with tons of depth, flavors, and creaminess. Noodles are the straight kind which has a little less bounce than I usually like but still plenty portioned to enjoy. The bowl comes with a lovely half soft boiled egg. The two large pieces of pork char sui were great--tender and flavorful. Reasonably priced bowl at $18 with some additional toppings like wood ear mushrooms, bamboo, green onions, and narutomaki. Definitely coming back here again to try their other bowls!! Pork belly buns (5/5): If you are already getting the pork belly in the ramen, this can be skipped since it's the same meat. However, the sauce was good and the meat is tender. Crab croquette (4/5): It tasted fresh and consistency of a normal croquette-- crunchy on the outside with a softness from potato on the inside. The light panko seasoning was a nice touch. It also comes with a small side of salad. Wagyu (5/5) - thin pieces of wagyu were very fresh and flavorful. The broth feels very soothing and lighter as it was but not as rich as the tonkotsu. I loved the pickled cucumber and cabbage. The thick noodles are perfectly bouncy and chewy. Shoyu Duck (4/5) - Light broth as I did not taste the undertones of duck in the broth.

I found the Tantanmen a little overly salty but still pretty good. There are many other great items on their menu. Next time, I'd like to try their various buns, which looked terrific!
