Vegetarian ramen
Lily L.

I sat at the counter with a friend and we had such a nice experience! It's a really cute little spot and the service was great. I got a vegetarian ramen and it was perfectly spicy and delicious. Definitely worth braving the cold and the snow!

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.

Hoji cha flan

Tasty food, good cocktails, and a unique setting. All the seats are bar/counter in the front, and there's a small enclosed back seating area--they can accommodate about 20 people at once indoors, which is impressive in the space. Varied menu with assorted options of soba and ramen. Lots of vegetarian options. The lychee cocktail was nice. People seemed to like the canned Hi Chus, too. The ramen and soba both had a good amount of noodles and were filling. The flan was nice, not super sweet with strong cha flavor. Friendly staff. There were some people hanging out for quite a while and they didn't rush anyone out.

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)

Shrimp shumai , Veggie Gyoza
Chelsea P.

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.

Veggie Gyoza

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.

Surprised I haven't been to this ramen spot earlier since it seems to be a pretty popular…read morerestaurant and staple in the Park Slope neighborhood. It's quite busy but the turnover rate is quick. The restaurant is small but has a good amount of tables and counter seating. But I've got to say I am disappointed by my overall experience based on how popular this spot is. You order from a menu you can write on, which allows you to customize your ramen selections (noodle thickness, broth, add-ons, etc). I ordered the tonkotsu ramen with spicy added. While the broth is pretty good, I think the overall ramen is a bit lacking compared to other ramen spots. I did not realize the ramen did not come with any ingredients besides the chashu meat and some scallions sprinkled on top. So this spot really requires you to customize and add on toppings. Usually other ramen spots already have selection of toppings in each type of bowl. So overall, my ramen was pretty standard and nothing outstanding. I do appreciate that you can add half or full serving of extra noodles for $1-2 if you want more. Also, like others mentioned, Ramen Danbo received a C health code rating. I didn't see this until halfway through my meal, but I probably would not have ate here if I saw it beforehand. Quite appalling for a restaurant that doesn't even have an extensive menu. Overall, the service is okay... I can't say I had any particular issues BUT I just felt like all the servers gave off the vibe that they just hated their jobs or something. It was just the vibe I got but it could just be me.

Ichiran Ramen is a famous Japanese ramen chain known for its tonkotsu ramen and unique solo dining…read moresetup. We walked into the Times Square location, which brings the same experience found in Japan, with individual booths, customizable orders, and a streamlined ordering system. The restaurant is designed around efficiency and focus, where the setup lets you enjoy your ramen without distractions. The interior is clean and functional, with the signature booth layout that creates a sense of privacy and concentration on the meal. The main appeal is the consistency of the ramen and the experience itself. We ordered a few bowls and found the tonkotsu broth had the rich, creamy flavor that Ichiran is known for, with a depth that came through clearly in each spoonful. The thin noodles had a good texture that paired well with the soup, and the ability to customize things like noodle firmness, spice level, and toppings made it easy to adjust the bowl to our preference. The chashu was tender and well seasoned, and the egg was cooked to that perfect jammy consistency that added richness to the bowl. The matcha pudding is also a nice addition if you want something sweet after the meal, with a smooth, creamy texture and a balanced matcha flavor that served as a light finish. The individual booths are what make Ichiran stand out compared to most ramen shops. It creates a very different dining experience where the focus is entirely on the food, and we found it worked especially well for a focused meal where you can truly appreciate each component of the bowl. Groups can still sit together by adjusting the dividers, though the solo dining setup is clearly the defining feature of the experience. The ordering process is simple, with kiosks making it easy to customize your meal before being seated, and the staff guide you through the process without any friction. The biggest downside is the price. While the ramen is good and the experience is unique, the cost is noticeably higher than many other ramen options in New York. The portion sizes and overall meal do not always justify the premium, especially if you are comparing it to other high-quality ramen shops in the city. The quality is consistent, but the value feels less competitive given the price point. Ichiran is worth visiting if you specifically want to try the famous Japanese chain and experience the individual booth concept. The ramen is consistent and the atmosphere is memorable, but the higher price makes it more of a one-time experience rather than an everyday ramen spot. It offers a distinct, focused way to enjoy a bowl of ramen, and for those curious about the brand, it delivers exactly what it promises.

Ichiran Brooklyn is my favorite location across all their shops. The experience is so much more…read morepleasant--fewer tourists, and easier street parking. The seating options where you can choose traditional tables with good company or their signature ramen booths, which offers space to focus entirely on your bowl and nothing else. Also kids eat free with dine-in, which is a nice touch if you're bringing family. If you're in Brooklyn and craving authentic ramen, this location delivers.

The base price of the Ramen is $20 (protein is not included in the price), then they charge for egg and 1 slice of pork ($5 each), so you could really be paying an upwards of $30-$35...God forbid I want 2 slices of pork!! This is a HUGE turn off for me, especially considering the competition. For example if you go to Tonchin, the pork and egg are included in the price ($23) and the ramen is amazing!!...and it's a Michelin star restaurant on top of that. I prefer more bang for my buck, so I don't think I'd order from here again.
