    Yum!

    Had both the Hakata and Menchanko ramen. The Hakata was rich but not overwhelming. Seasoned perfectly. Nice firm noodle with plenty of bites. Pork was tender and melted in your mouth. They leave the shrimp heads in to flavor the soup in the mechanko ramen, which give it an extra seafood kick. The noodle was a bit more dense than i liked. Overall nicely done. I'm a noodle hopper and this just made my top 10.

    Great food, great prices and cheap drinks

    I have lived around the corner for 6months and always see a good amount of of traffic here, so I gave it a shot. I had no idea it was a japanese noodle and soup house. Place was great, there are three wines on sale for $3/$13 (glass/botl), beers are good prices and the food is overly reasonably priced. I highly recommend and will be returning this week without a doubt. Thanks guys. (plus they have a TV for sports games.)

    For a Cold & Rainy Day

    Went here with a friend when it was cold & rainy... what a good decision! These soups are really one-of-a-kind delicious! Huge portions, lots of options, and warming for the body & soul. Definitely going back!

    Good hot noodle soup

    I don't know from authentic Japanese, but I know I've been looking for a good hot bowl of ramen noodle soup since I started working in midtown 3 years ago, and I'm so glad to have finally found this place. I ate in once and took out once and had no problem with service, although when I ate in I could have done without the loud radio playing. The soups are slightly on the expensive side for lunch, but they are huge!

    Delicious

    This is a casual place to sit down, eat, and enjoy yourself after a long day at work (and you don't feel like getting your eardrums destroyed by the noise in the local bars). The food is very reasonably priced, especially given the area. Service is a bit on the weaker side, but that's expected given the casual atmosphere. I've gone a couple times after 9pm, so I can't speak to any lineups. But it's still lively then and there's no waiting lines. Definitely will go again!

    Disappointing ramen

    I tried the Hakata Ramen. Compared to the other NYC ramen shops, it just wasn't very good - no subtlety to the broth, chashu pork overcooked, not served hot enough, etc. My friend had the kimchi noodles and really enjoyed them, so I suppose this place is hit or miss. But why risk a miss when you can eat somewhere else?

    Best Noodles in Midtown

    Holy WOW!! These noodles are amazing! There is always a line out the doorfor tables or takeout. Had the shrimp gyoza and Hakata Ramen (pork ramen soup) my first timeso tasty! My second visit I had the Chicken Yakisoba, and I liked it even better. The noodles are tender, the veggies are fresh, hints of fresh ginger...delish. Trying the Menchenko next, and can't wait. Actually I am excited to taste everything at this gem of a spot.
