Love the lunch specials, tasty tasty ramen, yakisoba is especially good. Nom nom nom highly recommended!

Highly recommended. I've been here twice - once to their 45th St location and once to 55th Street. If you like japanese noodle soups, you'll love this place. The soba is extremely fresh and the soups are packed with so much flavor.

Don't know what the other review was about. Bad luck maybe? I've been going to this place for more than 8 years and I have never been disappointed. Actually, once. I had special ramen with spicy pork dipping sauce on the side and the sauce was very salty. But come on! ONE salty bowl of noodles in nearly a decade? That's totally forgivable. The noodles are always delicious, the appetizers are really authentic and service is consistently on point. Ramen portion is so generous I can never finish it all. The place is so close to Fifth Avenue I'm surprised it hasn't become a tourist trap by now, but I'm REALLY glad for that.

I ordered (takeout) Chanpon with thin ramen noodles. I waited about 5-7 minutes as the place was bustling with the lunch-crowd. This place is not fancy, but it is decent and efficient. First off, although the place was very busy, I didn't wait long for my order. Second, it was so piping hot, that even when I got back to my desk 7 blocks away, it was still steaming hot...and very good. My only gripe would be that the noodles are already in the soup (as opposed to being served separate and you pour soup over the noodles) and one piece of pork out of my whole pot was a little chewier than appreciated. But all in all, I'd say yum, yum, delish!

I eat here almost once a week. The service is fantastic all the waiters are very attentive. The noodles are great! And the special and regular appetizers are a must.

I couldn't disagree more with the below reviewers. The service is great. I’ve been four times and our waiter has been attentive and polite. The noodles are amazing. Try a rice ball they are a great accompaniment to any noodle dish. They have beer and a large select]on of sake. The prices are great. Menchanko is an oasis in the nexus of horrible and overpriced food which is midtown. If you think Menchanko is pricey then head over to Yips on 52nd and get some affordable “noodles.”

My friends and I came here for an early dinner before a show and were sorely disappointed with their service. We had to ask 3 times just to get water. We ordered some appetizers that were really small and they forgot to give them to us until after we were done with our ramen. Also, when we were waiting to get our credit card back someone came over and said, "could you leave now because other people are waiting for this table." He was apologetic when we told him we hadn't gotten our bill back yet but STILL - that was so rude! I would have come back again since the ramen is pretty good but not with crappy service like this.
