    New Tokyo Style Shoyu Ramen
    Tyler M.

    Countertop seating in a very small location. If you want a sit down experience you should check out their chelsea location. I would describe this as a quick solid tokyo style ramen with a twist as they add truffle. Good noodle chew and great broth.

    I've tried a good amount of ramen, and the ramen here is definitely unique! We got the Tokyo style shoyu ramen and shio ramen. I enjoyed the shoyu ramen more, but they were both good. I liked the yuzu bits in the shio ramen. The meat in both of them were tender and clean. I enjoyed how light yet flavorful these bowls were since sometimes I can feel bloated after a bowl of ramen. The store is tiny with about 8-10 bar seats. We arrived close to the time they opened so fortunately there was no wait. Service was quick and friendly.

    Had an enjoyable meal at ramen Ishida recently. I came alone on a relatively warm weeknight, and was met with about a 15 minute wait which wasn't too bad since it was warmer out. As others have noted, the space inside is pretty small with only about 8 seats. Once seated, I placed my order of a drink, an app, and a bowl of ramen. The sake was delicious and the crab croquettes came out fresh and hot. They were quite creamy on the inside, overall really enjoyed them. My ramen came out while I was still eating my appetizer. The broth itself was flavorful and there were plenty of noodles, but I was hoping for more of the pork at that price point (there were two thin slices of chashu). I felt a bit rushed, as they handed me my receipt while I still had over half my bowl of ramen left (they have a policy that they may ask you to leave 20 minutes after serving the ramen). I get that it's a small establishment, and they didn't outright ask me to leave, I just thought there would be a little more leeway given I was also rushed through the appetizer. Food is good though, and service was friendly!

    Recently came home from Japan and seeking out some good ramen. They have vegetarian options here which is nice. I had the spicy tofu ramen. It wasn't too spicy and was enjoyable. I liked the way they cooked the tofu. Next time I would try the plant based miso ramen. I sat at the bar seating. Service was generally attentive. Prices were standard for New York (I miss Japanese prices so much). Restaurant and bathroom were very clean. I would come back.

    A real sleeper in the NYC ramen scene. This is the OG location, a tiny counter service spot with bar seating only, but great vibes and serving the more rarely found Tokyo-style chicken broth ramen. Typically not too much of a wait despite the cramped premises. Great option for an impromptu dinner.

    It was a cold and cloudy day in NYC after a night out drinking with friends and the way this ramen healed me, it warmed my soul. The broth was the highlight for me, it was clean, flavorful and well balanced - the truffle flavor was light and not overpowering. I typically don't finish ramen broths since they can be heavy but my broth was gone by the end of the meal. Overall I really enjoyed the ramen, definitely a lighter-style than what I'm used to but I was here for it. Service was good, they definitely were busy when we got there, luckily our group has reservations. Very cozy ambiance!

    Vegan Spicy Mushroom Ramen with Tofu

    I had the spicy mushroom tofu ramen. The best part of was the perfectly chewy noodles. However, I felt that the dish was too rich and savory without any contrasting elements. I'd really recommend adding some kind of pickled topping, though I wish this came standard. I added an egg, which was intensely salty, and only came with one half. My total came to almost $30 after tax and tip. It's hard to justify the cost, especially when the dish needs more toppings at additional cost to get the right balance.

    Finally got to try this ramen spot. It's a tiny little place with maybe 10 seats, no bathroom, but the ramen here is gourmet! I tried the shoyu ramen and it was amazing! The soft boiled egg was the best ramen egg I've ever had and the charred pork was delicious. It comes with truffle paste so there's a truffle aroma while eating the ramen. Service is quick but you are also expected to eat quickly, just like a ramen shop in Japan. Can't wait to go back!

    This may just be my favorite ramen spot in the city. Their shoyu ramen with the truffle broth is so exquisite and checks every box that you want out of a quality bowl of ramen. Savory, umami, rich, flavorful and satiating. Need to start coming here more often for my fix!

    The venue was pretty cozy with a few tables, a bar and a large table in the back for bigger groups. The menu had some great options with different styles of ramen as well as they were offering a set menu which composed of a ramen of your choice (new Tokyo ramen), an appetizer (kaarage) and a drink. The service was quite fast! Kaarage didnt look traditional but hit the spot with the drink. The main ramen took the spotlight. I mixed the truffle with the soup which made the broth outstanding and flavorful. This was a pretty good combo with the noodles that carried the soup well and the meat was prepared very well. Empty bowl was left but a full stomach was achieved. Would come back!

    Unique ramen spot in NYC! If you're looking for a typical tonkotsu ramen, don't come here. But if you love a tokyo ramen with hint of truffle then come ! It's really really small and you gotta be out in 20min, so it's pretty rushed. Would say it's more of an eat and go spot. There were very few seats, I think 8 at most. Overall open window and kitchen concept

    The ramen was good and the service was good as well. The staff was really nice. Only downside is the space because there aren't lot of sittings and so if you do decide come during busy hours, definitely need to wait long time. Karages were okay.

    Do you offer gluten free noodles?

    How clean is the restaurant? 2/100 health score seems off putting.

    A 2 is a nigh perfect health score in NY (essentially an A+). NY health grades are based on a points system where you accrue points based on the number and types of infractions they find during inspection. The closer you are to 0, the better. So… 

    Can you pay in cash? I know some ramen stores only accept card so I'll like to know!

Menu looked good with a wide selection of apps, salads, ramen and a few desserts. And doesn't hurt that it's got a bib gourmand reco from Michelin. The front door is crazy heavy- so pull hard when you enter. The interior is dark modern decor with music playing. Feels like a hushed night club. It's a very narrow space with limited seating so reservations in advance is a must! They will seat large parties if half show up. We were seated at a long table with 8 seats along the side and 1 at each end. The table had a great view of the kitchen which was fun. We ordered a range of apps- small bites (good for vegetarians), apps (wings, bao, riceballs) and ordered ramen. They had a good selection of non alcoholic and alcoholic drinks. For dessert, we all saw the kitchen preparing shaved ice. Gigantic snowball of ice and syrup topped with whipped cream. We knew that we had to order it for dessert. We got 2 kakigori for the table- one mango and one matcha with red bean. Each person got a small bowl to take a serving from the huge shaved ice ball. Everyone enjoyed the food. Good ambiance and good food. We left paying $63 each including taxes.

    The first time my friend brought me here, I thought the ramen didn't impress me the way a Michelin…read morerestaurant should have. But maybe because I tried the Smoke Dashi Ramen and the smoked fish oil did not appeal to me at all. I used to make it a requirement to visit Ichiran every time I came to New York, but this time I'm so glad I decided to revisit Tonchin. The noodles were thick and perfectly chewy the way I like it. And the broth was rich in a way that was almost milky, and not just a bowl of broth and salt like your typical American ramen chain restaurants. It barely knocks Ichiran off the top of my list for ramen in the US. However, as good as the chashu was, it wasn't as delicate as Ichiran does it. Nevertheless, I haven't had such an enjoyable meal in a while. #384

After reading all the glowing reviews, I had to try it for myself and Kohoku-Ku did not disappoint! Walking in, my first impression was small but cute, simple, and cozy. Since I dined early, it was delightfully peaceful. My server was incredibly warm and friendly, and the food came out impressively fast. I ordered a bowl of their signature Kohoku-Ku Ramen and an order of Takoyaki. The Kohoku-Ku Ramen was packed with flavor, totally unique, and deeply comforting. It completely hit the spot. The Takoyaki was cooked perfectly! A huge plus was that it wasn't buried under a mountain of bonito flakes like at many other places. As the evening went on and the dinner crowd rolled in, the atmosphere picked up a pleasant energy, but the noise level stayed remarkably comfortable that you can actually have a normal conversation without shouting across the table. I am so happy I chose this spot. It was the perfect ending to a long trip to NYC, and I already can't wait to come back for another meal!

The sweet potato tempura was really well done, one of my favorite appetizers not too oily but good with beer. The namesake ramen is loaded! So much tempura with soft shelled crab, shrimp, and even the enoki mushrooms! If you're a spice head you'll love it, because it's on the spicier side of ramens in NYC. If not... well good luck at the end. It's a pretty cozy place, so not a lot of seats. Service was good albeit a bit sparse, think 1 person was waiting every table so it was a bit slow at times. It's not my favorite ramen in NY but given the distance to my hotel it was a solid option for party members who want other stuff besides ramen.

We started with the pork belly appetizer which was recommended and stated on the menu indicating it's their featured dish. It was the biggest disappointment as it was extremely fatty with large chunks of fat, while the lean portions were dry. It didn't look very appetizing. The dumplings were just okay--they had decent flavor but I was hoping for a crispier texture. I ordered the Zebra Ramen. The noodles were cooked perfectly al dente, but the broth was much saltier than I would have preferred. The pat of butter felt unnecessary and made the broth overly rich without adding much depth. The chashu was on the small side and also quite fatty and I assume it's the same as the appetizer but was sliced instead of in large chunks. The marinated egg had good flavor, although the yolk was a little more cooked than I typically like. Another thing is the pork belly appetizer came with an egg. I wish the server would tell us so we didn't have to add it to our ramen with an extra charge. The nori was also completely soggy by the time it reached our table. Overall, the noodles were the only highlight of the meal and the rest were very underwhelming. It's definitely not a place I would recommend.
