Five stars for their vegetarian ramen, which was one of the most flavorful I have had. I appreciate any resturant offering a vegitarian or vegan ramen, as I know it is not traditional to do so. That said, Shinjuku's veggie ramen broth was extremely flavorful and I really enjoyed it! The noodles were also very fresh and they provided a big ass wooden spoon which I deftly used to shovel noodles and broth into my mouth. Service was great and the decor was very old school traditional. My fella got the chicken curry and really enjoyed that and it was a huge portion. read more

Shinjuku Ramen - Inaka Vegetable Ramen with added egg - Ramen Near Me - New York, New York

Stopped by Shinjuku Ramen and had a great meal! We ordered ramen, sweet potato fries, and chicken karaage, and everything was delicious. The ramen was flavorful and comforting, the sweet potato fries were perfectly crispy, and the chicken karaage was juicy with a nice crunchy coating. The service was prompt and friendly, and our food came out quickly. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd definitely come back the next time I'm craving ramen! read more

Such a scrumptious ramen we had in the city! Something about being in NYC requires a hot bowl of fresh ramen in December- I don't make up the rules! Seating was prompt when we arrived around 1:30pm, service was hospitable and also decently quick considering the hot steaming bowl of food served. We started off by ordering some appetizers. I ordered the Shishito peppers, a couple buns, one with pork belly, and one with shrimp and the spicy wontons. I also ordered the lycheetini and the hot green tea. We really enjoyed the appetizers!! I really love Shishido peppers and none of them were too hot so that it wasn't enjoyable. They were charged perfectly with some flavor full flakes. The buns were absolutely delicious as well. I have to say the pork one was my favorite. The shrimp tempura was very crunchy, which was delicious, but the flavor of the pork was just Worth highlighting. I ordered the tan tan Ramen and added corn on the side. My husband got the same, and we both absolutely devoured our bowl left nothing behind. In fact, my husband actually ordered an extra order of the delicious egg noodles that came with our soup. The heat level was perfect. My brother ordered the Takatsu Ramen and he also really enjoyed it. Although at the table, we did not note any chilly oil or anything to add a little heat to his liking so I think if anything he would've preferred the Tantan Ramen. I have to say the lycheetini was not as flavorful as I am used to. My brother's girlfriend ordered the pineapple alcoholic beverage and we all agreed that that was much better. I liked how the restaurant also offers plenty flavors of Japanese fizzy sodas in the glass bottle with the glass marble. I thought the hot green tea was complementary. It wasn't but for four dollars it definitely helped keep us warm and the green tea utilized appear to be very high-quality. The only thing I could possibly mention was that it appears that the restaurants sanitation rating is still being reviewed. I did not witness or experience anything that made the sanitation concerning. Only one bathroom, which is not the restaurant's fault but just worth noting because after Long walks in the city sometimes all you need is a quick restroom break in a hot bowl of Ramen This restaurant is absolutely worth the high ratings that YELP provided it and I'm really happy that I found it and we were able to enjoy one of the classic meals we look forward to during our city trip. read more

5 stars - Good I ate here by myself while my friends were at the NY Open (8/26). I had never been to a ramen house. I loved the layout of the restaurant and the decor. The food itself was very good. The staff were friendly and helped me determine what ramen would be best. I would go here again if I was in NYC. read more

Shinjuku Ramen - Ramen Near Me - New York, New York

I enjoyed Shinjuku for a relaxed, casual dinner experience. The exterior is unassuming, and the interior is minimally decorated but has a warm, inviting ambiance. The service was not too memorable, which is exactly what I wanted for a more casual, cozy spot. The Tonkotsu ramen was solid, featuring an umami broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and savory pork slices. This wasn't the most memorable bowl of ramen I've ever had, but it was undeniably delicious and had all the right components. It's hard to stand out amongst NYC's fantastic restaurant selection. I wouldn't consider this place the flashiest, but I did enjoy my experience here and would visit again to try other ramen options. read more

I was unimpressed by the food and service here Food: we got the edamame and I got the ton ton ramen. The edamame had a really weird taste and smell and felt very soggy. I would not recommend. The ton ton ramen was fine but compared to other ramen in the city I would not come back. The one thing about their menu is that they have veggie and chicken options which is nice Service: we had to wait a lot for them to take our order. They were not very attentive even when it wasn't super busy for dinner on Wednesday night Ambience: fine spot with a lot of seats Price: reasonable read more

First off, I recommend you make reservations for this Ramen spot. My cousin made reservations for five people for 2pm. I came here with my family for our reservation and this place was packed on a Saturday afternoon. So I recommend a reservation because there was a small wait even with a reservation. Also this restaurant is small and a bit cramped so it isn't very spacious. The service at this ramen spot was okay and could have been a little better. As for the food it also wasn't too bad. I got the Mapo Don with extra udon and miso soup. I feel like the Mapo Don would have been better with a side of rice instead of the udon. read more

Midtown (and just NYC in general) is a saturated market for good eats, yet Shinjuku Ramen stands out as a great option for complex broths and great noodles in the area. Form the outside, it's modest and unassuming façade: the entrance is marked by a simple sign, and large windows offer passersby a glimpse into the inviting interior. Stepping inside, guests are welcomed into a warm and intimate setting that evokes the ambiance of a traditional Japanese ramen shop, featuring wooden furnishings, cozy booths, and subtle lighting, creating a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. At around 2:45pm on Memorial Day Monday, my dad and I stopped in for a late lunch, and we were immediately seated. The restaurant was about half-full, with most of the working professionals in the area being gone for the holiday weekend. The menu is simple, with multiple ramen options spanning different types of broths, noodles, and proteins. Additionally, there are options for appetizers such as edamame and skewers, as well as rice bowls and fried foods if you aren't feeling noodles. My dad opted for the TanTan Ramen ($17.25), which consists of a spicy tonkotsu broth, your choice of chicken/pork/tofu, green onion, spicy minced pork, bok-choy, and half a boiled egg. The broth is perfectly spicy and flavorful, obviously boiled for hours to achieve a well-rounded, umami richness. The spicy minced pork contrasts nicely with the lean pork chashu, and the bok choy and green onion add a nice crunch and acidity to the dish. The egg was perfectly soft-boiled, with a gooey yolk that practically oozed out into the broth. The thick noodles were toothsome and al dente, with the curly contours soaking up the savory broth. I ordered the Shoyu King Shinjuku Ramen ($17.25), as I was craving a slightly lighter broth. This was a soy-sauce based broth that had a lovely depth with a slight sweetness to it, though with this broth, I found myself craving a fattier pork chashu as opposed to the lean, loin-like two pieces they gave me. Additionally, this ramen comes with thin ramen noodles, which we enjoyed the al dente texture of, but weren't nearly as delicious nor flavor-absorbing as the thick noodles. However, I did quite enjoy the addition of the kikurage mushrooms, green onion, toothsome bamboo shoots, and sweet corn, as well as the perfect soft-boiled half egg. Both ramen dishes had fantastic broth, but both of us found ourselves craving a larger portion of meat (beyond just two thin slices), as well as a full boiled egg as opposed to a half. But compared to the sky-high prices of ramen in Seattle, this was much better flavor-wise, as well as a larger portion of great noodles, and the service was fast and friendly. While I'm not sure I would return here with so many other tasty ramen options in the city, this was a great stop to cure a noodle soup fix, and I can highly recommend it to those in the Midtown area! read more

I just had lunch here with my family. I ordered their tonkatsu with black garlic oil and the broth was pretty good. The pork belly, however, was dry and chewy. I had nothing else, so I can't speak for anything else in the menu. I tasted the broth of the normal tonkatsu and it was solid. Too bad the meat wasn't as succulent as you'd expect it to be.

Came in on a Friday night looking for a quick meal on a cold night. Place relatively busy but we were seated quickly. Waiter came fast to take our order, bring the drinks. The food came out relatively fast and we ate and enjoyed. We had gyoza, the fried chicken which was amazing, and I had the ramen. It was delicious. The place was very cozy, the company was great, the only downside was the waiter took so long to come and check on us with the bill. read more

Six of us came here for lunch today. The meals were Pretty hardy. My fiends ordered ramen that was medium spicy and it was too spicy. I ordered chicken curry katsu and it was yummy. My hubby had the chicken kaarage - it was yummy. I didn't realize the green tea is $8 per person so be very careful when you order it. For 5 of us it was $40 extra. read more

Service was just Norm nothing out of the ordinary. They get your order they serve you and they leave you alone. The ambiance is mild. Lots of movement but you can have a conversation The Food well, The gyoza not my fav, it was soggy and really oily. For the Ramen they give you lots of broth but not enough noodles. The noodles and ingredients are hidden In all the broth. I have to admit that the broth has good taste but that's about it. Happy ramen hunting, I hope these honest review helps read more

This place is nice. Good service and a nicely decorated place. Near the MOMA museum. We were hungry, so we looked up a place on Yelp after visiting the museum. Sure enough, I was able to find a place within walking distance. We arrived on Saturday around noon and managed to get a seat right away. We ordered a noodle dish and a curry rice dish. Both were nice, would definitely return and order the same items again. I enjoyed Curry rice with Pork cutlet. I recommend. read more

If yelp had ten stars, I would give this place an eleven star rating. I absolutely loved dining here! The service was amazing! The waiter was very helpful when it came to helping me with the menu and I loved how many options I could choose from. I started off with seaweed salad which was..... chefs kiss! It was cold and flavorful, loved it. Then I had the chicken bao bun. I love how sweet a bao bun is and the chicken complimented it very well! Last, I had the ramen, which was perfection! I'm in love with any kind of flavorful ramen with variety! This place has so much variety when it came to the meat, broth, add on, and more. Im slightly picky and the waiter helped me pick the perfect ramen that had spice and the toppings that I want and could add on. I'm so sad I don't live in New York, I wanted to take this place home with me lol. I will definitely be back!! read more

I stopped by this place to try out the ramen here. Overall experience was decent! The inside of the restaurant was kind of darker than I expected. I don't mind that, but it was also a bit too hot indoors as well. Service was good and fast. The workers there were polite and patient with me. I ordered the Miso King Ramen with the original flavor instead of spicy. The food came out pretty quick. The ramen noodles were a nice thick and slightly chewy texture, and toppings tasted good as well. But what slightly bothered me was the broth. It was really salty, saltier than I expected. Usually I like to drink a lot of the soup with the rest of the ramen, but in this case, I only drank a little of it before deciding to stop. I ended up drinking a lot of water because of the salt. read more

Had dinner here last night by seeing higher rating on yelp. I was un-lucky or different point of view with other fellow yelpers, I can't rate this high. I thought this is a Japanese ramen and Izakaya restaurant and so expected. They serve gyoza and ramen at same time when I just started beer. They must understand that ramen should serve a little after beer and appetizer. Not many want to drink beer and big soup noodle at the same time. Ramen should be at the end of meal with drinking. *My glass of beer was not cold *Gyoza was not fried crispy but mushy and on shredded cabbage and sweet sticky sauce on it. Though the gyoza filling were house made I think, way to cook and serve need to be better. Price was $11.50 and my expectation was high. *Syoyu ramen look good and was similar looking to Tokyo style but soup stock was lousy. It needs ramen stock, not just soup base(soy sauce base) with hot water. ++= $46. Is not out of ramen dinner range but needs satisfaction for that. I hope they up grade some cooking and serving skills before I comeback. read more

This place honestly blew my mind. The ramen was great, I've had a lot of ramen in my life but this place is top tier. It's a little pricey but it was actually really authentic and rich broth which I adored. The atmosphere is incredible. From the outside, it's a lot of wood and when you walk inside, you're transported to a stunning shop in Japan. 10/10 for the ambiance alone. The staff were super helpful with helping choose what to order and they have a great selection of drinks as well. read more

A solid Midtown ramen spot! Inside is very cozy and quite quiet but very reminiscent of traditional ramen shacks. We ordered a set of takoyaki, Shoyu King ramen and Miso King ramen with a glass of green tea umeshu to wash it down. The umeshu was lovely. Sweet but had an earthiness to it. The takoyaki was plush and tender. Hot af, like any good takoyaki should be. The sauce on top was a bit too salty but overall a good app. The Shoyu King ramen had a wonderful broth and tender noodles. My only complaint and the complaint of my friend with her dish: the meat was cut too thick so it was dry. But still, we enjoyed our offerings on a bone chilling day. Service was serviceable and we left satisfied. Not the best ramen in the city, but well worth a stop by if you're craving ramen in the area! read more

Got marine king ramen $23 was very good flavor broth and shrimp peeled in a great way. Highly recommend this ramen! The other ramens were $17-$22 which was normal price and seemed okay as well. Main issue here is reallyyy slow service, had to wait a long time to get our food. And the servers were beyond stingy with napkins. Only 1 napkin given per person and had to ask multiple times to get napkins as they never came with it. When asked another server, the first server proceeded to scold us saying napkins are on the way but it's been like 10 minutes. And they came with 1 napkin. After awhile, when asked for another, they pointed to the used napkin on the table and said "this not enough?!" I'm like no..? Just strangest empathy of the experience. The seating is also very crowded. Decent place to get ramen although they definitely increased prices since last time I came and service has never been the best here so don't expect too much there read more

Really nice ramen joint for this area. Has a very nice wooden Izakaya vibe as you walk in. Very Japanese decor. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. They have around 8 ramen options all very ornate and a good blend of food combinations and creations. The soup based are all different combinations of pork, chicken, duck, miso and squid ink so a different twist than your straight up pork broth. Therr are several appetizers so great place to chill over some beers and small plates with friends. Would recommend if youre in the area and craving some new creation ramen options. read more

Lunch on a Tuesday afternoon before my medical appointment to calm my hunger pangs with Ramen noodle soup. Noodle soup always comforts my heart. Shinjuku Ramen has been on my Yelp bookmark for sometime and I am now making progress as when you try, you have to try. The business name reminisce fond memories and my longing for another return visit to Shinjuku City, a prefecture in Tokyo, Japan. Shinjuku Ramen's atmospheric environment is small restaurant, but very traditional Japanese and very cozy beautiful carpentry. It contains a lot of Japanese alcohol advertisements prominently displayed which is the first thing visibility seen. Matcha green tea is not offered in a cup, but only upon request. Matcha green tea is served in a small pot for a $8.00 charge which the waitress properly informed, but in the interest of time and limited cash on hand I politely declined opting for the essential entree. The waitress offered and provided hot water as reasonable accommodation for replacement of Matcha green tea. Customer service is attentive as I was served satisfactory. The menu consists of a lot of spicy foods. I made a big fat mistake of ordering a very high heat index on the Scoville scale despite of requesting "less spicy" as spicy foods can trigger or worsen hot flashes and night sweats. I was profusely sweating during the entire meal consumption. All in all, aside from the high heat index of spicy food my Ramen noodle was enjoyable. I did eat my fill to sustain my hunger for the afternoon. After exiting this business into the cool April New York afternoon my body was able to cool down. Tantan Ramen $19.00 Pork spicy base broth with thick sliced pork char siu, (caa1 siu1 叉燒), green onion, spicy minced pork, Chinese vegetable bok choy, and half soft boiled brown egg. The minced pork bits were annoying. The pork was soft, I did enjoyed the green onion and vegetable bok choy. I am not a fan of brown egg, but considering the current national egg crisis caused by H5N1 bird flu to result in high prices, it is inevitable. Stagflation. The spicy base broth was flavorful. The noodles were tender. Shinjuku Ramen is accessible via MTA NYC Transit in Midtown West. There is one facility located on the premise. It is wide with a lot of space and (I believe ADA compliant) which contains a Dyson hand dryer. Business cards are available upon request for grabs. read more

Went here for lunch with my son. We had eaten here before but this time was much more memorable. I had the Mabo Don, and it reminded me of the delicious Mabo Don I used to get at another Japanese favorite, Sapporo, which closed several years ago. Service is wonderful, fast and attentive. The decor is casual and nice. My son had the chicken katsu curry, and it was quite tasty. For dessert, we shared the matcha crepe cake, and although not the same as Lady M's, it was satisfying. We will be going back. read more

My date and I were in desperate need of ramen after the recent super cold day and he decided to take me to Shinjuku Ramen. BEST DECISION EVER! I've never been to Japan (trip pending) but stepping in there felt like I was immediately transported there, even more so once our food arrived. Service was quick, attentive and everything that arrived at our table was SUPER FRESH! We ordered an app of shishito peppers to share which were super well seasoned (but not as spicy as I was expecting!). My date got the Miso King with chicken and I got the Marine King Honestly, my only issues with the Raman is that it didn't come with more mussels. I love the way the shrimp was prepared for this seafood Ramen but really te highlighted for me was the mussels and I just wish there was more of em in the dish itself. Otherwise the portions were great, I had some leftover even to take home. When we were seated there weren't too many people in there but by the time we left it was pretty packed, though not so much so that it made it hard to have conversation. Would highly recc this spot for a date or even as a hang out spot with friends after a super chilly day. The warmth of both the staff and the food is sure to heat you right up! read more

Ordered delivery from Shinjuku Ramen last month. The food was good! I got the black ink tonkotsu, and a mushroom bun. Both were delicious! Can't comment on the ambience, as I ordered it delivered to my house, but the delivery bag was typical classic brown. The delivery service was interesting. It came early, but when I received a photo text saying it had been delivered, it was of the service entrance, not with the doorman/by my door. Luckily, I called the doorman downstairs, and he said it was safely in hand, and that they had given it to him directly. read more

I wish we could give half stars bc they really deserve 4 1/2 stars. This ramen is as good as the one we had in Tokyo two years ago. The broth had a lot of depth and flavor. My teenage son had the Tonkatsu ramen while my husband and I had the spicy Tan Tan. The ramen at Shinjuku transported us back to this small ramen place near the Pokémon store in Tokyo. We had so many different ramen restaurants in Japan (Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka), but the best one was in Tokyo. This one was on par, except the noodles aren't as good as the Tokyo one. Hence, the 4 1/2 star rating. It comes very close, though. Whenever we're in NYC, you better believe we'd make a special stop to this place! read more

Solid 3 for a non- Japanese ramen shop. Somehow the broth is just not as rich as say (Ichiran, ippudo, even the Totto chicken bone broth)... Got 2 classic tonkatsu ramen (very standard - white noodles - as my Gen Alpha kid goes... mid.) also got the gyoza, ok. Spicy miso - yellow wavy noodles - also ok. Total $82 (w/ tip) Feels like this spot might be catering to tourists more than locals... service is good, ensures you have all your necessities - bottle of water for self refill, utensils w the big wooden spoon (unnecessary), and decor is trying too hard with Japanese street theme... like Hoppy street. If you need food and around the area, it's a sure bet. read more

The aesthetics of this restaurant was cute and had a significant nod to Japan. It is quite small inside and space is limited so reservations are highly suggested. The service was alright but the food was quite tasty. I had the mapo tofu which was 8.5/10. I loved the spicy flavor of the broth and that it was a thick. I even added udon noodles. My cousin got the tan tan ramen and my aunt got the marine king. Let's just say they both thoroughly enjoyed it. 10/10. read more

The weather has been getting cold, so for dinner, I thought it was perfect to get a hot bowl of ramen. I stopped in before 5 pm, not thinking that it would be crowded. I was a bit surprised to see the place packed. I supposed everyone else had the same idea. After about a 15 min wait, I was seated at one of the small tables near the entrance. Since this place serves Hakata style ramen, I went with their tonkotsu ramen. I went with the usual pork chashu, but you can get it with chicken breast. I also ordered edamame. It was a good bowl of ramen and definitely hit the spot. Service was friendly, however a little slow. It was understandable as there appeared to be only 2 waitresses. Not sure that they could add more staff as the place was small with barely any space for waiting customers. read more
