best authentic ramen!! unlike the new trendy places popping up everywhere. and yes of course if you're going to get 'kimchee ramen', it's gonna be gross, it's gross everywhere. stick to the traditional, pork, soy based, etc... delicious food, not really cheap, but i'd highly recommend this place!

i don't usually stop by a restaurant without reading reviews but didn't even think twice about going to this one. what looked like a promising noodle spot due to the constant flow of customers immediately turned to an understanding as to why so many people were leaving SO QUICKLY. This hits the top of the list for subpar food in nyc! I'd rather starve than eat at that place! we ordered three dishes, all failures!! service was nice... but that's a small token for what they're feeding you.

I was craving ramen one evening. I ordered the Kimchee Miso and my friend, the Experimental dish. Let me tell you, The soup base was very unappetizing. It tastes like the drainage of the pork that was in the soup, not flavorful but bland and thick. The only thing that kept me at it was the Kimchee but after a couple of bites, I couldnt eat anymore. It tasted too much like pork! The ramen itself is of decent quality, but again, the soup base just ruins the overall taste. The instant ramen u buy at supermarkets taste way better~ at a fraction of the price. My friend was not too pleased w his dish by the way. Never again...

I'm not sure what the other reviewers had, but my food was bland. The broth was too watery and didn't leave much of an impression. I had the same problem as another reviewer, the waitress expected to keep all the change for the tip after providing rather lousy service.

I went to Minca during the winter and I've been wanting to go back since then. When I went, I ordered the Shoyu Ramen with pork and it was really delicious. The soup base might be a little too garlicy for some, but I thought it was just right. The meat was where the dish shined. The pork melted in my mouth. The one thing that lacks in this restaurant is the atmosphere. It feels somewhat like a fast food place, but I think this fact is forgiven by the taste of the ramen.

Miso ramen with chilled Sapporo beer on a warm summer evening. One of the best ramen I've had so far. The ramen was springy and the soup had just the right amount of sesame oil. Service was attentive. Only drawback was the egg was hard-boiled, but will request for it to be poached next time. Will be returning!

I've tried two different dishes and they both had an overpowering garlic flavor too them. The pork was great but the broth and noodles were lost in garlic. It's not that I don't like garlic...just in reasonable amounts.
