    egg salad
    Morlene C.

    I should've taken the "No Msg" sign to be a warning, because msg left and took all the flavor along with it. I occasionally make broth at home and know that flavor can be built with naturally occuring msg from both vegetable and meat, but somehow these flavors were absent here. All the more disappointing after waiting for a long time for a seat at this restaurant, which was packed on the cold night I visited. Chicken paitan is meant to be a light, thin soup for sure, but it's kind of surprising to have no umami in a soup made with meat. No amount of soy sauce I could add to the bowl would improve it. The egg salad was advertised as a special for the evening but was similarly bland, and topped with wonton crisps that I found a curious addition, particularly since there were only 5 of these chips. I don't think msg should be demonized and it's added to food for a reason.

    I had a great dinner here. Ordered 3 appetizers: Brussels sprouts, karage & veggie gyoza. Brussel sprouts were really good! I thought the karage lacked in flavor and taste and needed a sauce. The gyoza I didn't like either but my date enjoyed. We also ordered two canned alcoholic drinks. Very light and refreshing both were $8. The ramen was sooo good . Both broths were flavorful and filling. The sorbet was the perfect after dinner treat . I only wish it was bigger for the price. It came stuffed in a lemon which was cute but it was legit like 1 scoop of sorbet. Overall I recommend if you're out on a cold night and looking for a hotel meal

    Came here on a whim after visiting Samurai Mama. My bad for not checking the menu first but I thought they'd have udon as well. Anyway, was craving something on the lighter side, so I opted for the cold niku soba. Definitely hit the spot. The beef was just a tad bit too tough, but overall very good. The tsuyu was refreshing.

    While I was wandering Bed-stuy and craving ramen, I noticed this place had good reviews and even better pictures. So, I decided to give it a shot. Food: 5/5 I love ramen, so I have a pretty high standard. You will not be disappointed. My friend and I ordered drinks, pork buns, atsuage, tori nanban soba (sweet and sour chicken soba), tonbara ramen (cloudy pork broth), and dessert (chocolate and hoji puddings). Our total damage was ~$85, which is amazing for so much food. My favorites items were: 1. Tonbara Ramen: a creamy pork ramen with perfectly cooked noodles and a nice piece of charsu. 2. Atsuage: fried tofu garnished with a soy garlic paste, scallions, and bonito flakes. Service: 5/5 We got there early and sat at the bar. They were very patient in explaining the items they offer and helping us select our final entrées. Constantly kept our water glasses filled and amazing music pumping. It was a great experience. All in all, a great place to have shoyu ramen. As they take no reservations, it's first come first serve. But, they are incredibly attentive and make the experience great for ramen lover and novices.

    Great neighborhood ramen stop with delicious seasonal menu and a stocked bar! We ordered karaage and a lychee cocktail (forgot to take a photo ) The Karaage was perfectly crispy and not too thickly breaded. I am not a big drinker but I enjoyed the cocktail because it was refreshing. I got the abura seasonal summer chilled ramen sooooo good. The texture of the chilled noodles combined with the flavorful broth really completed the meal. My bf got the signature tonbara ramen and he really liked it. The staff was super sweet too. Overall 10/10 would go back! Aesthetic: Cute traditional style ramen counter with more seating in the back outdoors.

    The thrill of dining in Bed-Stuy is that your visual and taste palette will be honed for 2030, from your choice of sake (chilled), color of sea salt (Icelandic) and seats (e.g. auction acquired Dali bar stools)

    Went back for their delicious shrimp buns . And tomato vegan ramen both was delicious but I really enjoyed the shrimp buns soft from the buns and crispy from the fried shrimp and crunchy from the cabbage and that nice garlic aoli delicious . And the woman that was there yesterday was just so sweet and the music was banging . I enjoyed my time here will def be back

    My quest for the best vegan ramen continues. Found this place while craving ramen in one cold rainy day. The place was a little small, bar seating only. So I was sitting closer to Bae, which I have no problems with at all. Hehe We got the vegan ramen and some veggie dumplings as starters. The ramen was not bad. Not excellent but decent. They give you extra broth/hot water (not really sure what it was) to add to the ramen if you want more soup or to change consistency maybe? First time having a ramen with avocado. The avocado added a nice texture to the ramen. I also really liked sauce that they used for the dumplings. Actually added little bit of it to my ramen. The server was ok. Tried to get their attention but keep missing us for some reason. Not very approachable.

    The exterior is unassuming enough that I walked by it and had to turn around and come back, while the interior is a bar with maybe a dozen seats and no more. The food is Japanese, but unusually vegan-friendly. They also do lunch until 4:30 and are near a train stop, which are collectively why I picked them. The lunch special I ordered contained some very freshly grilled dumplings and a choice of noodles. The tomato ramen came with a cup of extra broth that I assume was the basic non-tomato broth; if so I'm glad I ordered as I did because the tomato was much more flavorful. Avocado, seaweed, and some sort of greens highlighted the toppings. It's a weird mix: tomato, corn, and avocado are all American plants, but I'm no Japanese traditionalist, and the mix of tastes and textures here worked for me. There seemed to be a lot of neighborhood regulars, and the oddly half-hearted service I got made me cognizant that I was not one of them. Then again, if I lived here, maybe I would be.

    Egan ramen, superb

    My family and I had the most amazing lunch here recently. We came on a weekday shortly after…read moreopening and were seated right away. My husband had the kaishin don, I had the Ozakaya donburi set and our girls shared the shoyu tonkatsu ramen. The fish was so incredibly fresh here and the rice was seasoned perfectly. My donburi set also came with dashi broth that the waitress later brought over to pour on top of the leftover rice in my bowl to be enjoyed at the end of the meal. The broth and rice combination was really comforting and satisfying. This dish was something I wanted to try in Japan but did not get a chance to experience when there, so I was excited to try it at Ozakaya. I was really pleasantly surprised by the ramen here as well. Although the pork could have been better/more tender, the broth was rich and seasoned so well and not too salty like other places. Last but not least, the service here was excellent and efficient. I would definitely come back here the next time I visit Brooklyn as there were many dishes on the menu I wanted to try!

    The sun was out, cherry blossoms were in full bloom, so we stopped by here after walking around the…read moreBrooklyn Botanic Garden, honestly perfect timing and vibes. This place is super popular and I get why. It was packed but the service was insanely quick and efficient, which I appreciated. We shared the chirashi (9/10) and a spicy tuna roll (7/10) and it was honestly more than enough food for both of us. The sashimi is chef's choice so you're getting whatever's freshest that day. Overall, the quality was excellent. A couple of pieces were a little on the flavorless side, but nothing that ruined the experience. I'd still give it a solid 9/10 and would definitely come back if I'm in the area again.
