My friend introduced me to this place a long time ago and it was my first time trying mazemen noodles. It was a memorable meal, so much that I favorited the place on Google for whenever I'm in the area. I really like their noodle, it's not dry and it's saucy enough. I got the Yuzu Shio ramen last time I went and it's a good sized bowl. Comes w/ thick noodles, spring mix, braised cha siu, poached egg, garlic, onion, scallions, seaweed, and sprinkled with sesame seeds. After finishing the noodles, they give you a side of white rice that you can mix into the remaining sauce in your bowl. There's vinegar that you can add to it too, but it's optional. I would skip on the wings though, it's nothing special and there are better wings elsewhere. I got the sticky sweet sauce, but for some reason it tasted salty. I've gotten the banh mi fries in the past before too and I thought they were just okay. Overall decent place for mazemen, but sides are okay. Lots of seating, it was empty on a Friday afternoon.
Food was great, and service is quick. Have been here many times and always forget to take pics of the apps. Only downfall was that our party of 15 was separated into two different tables that were a bit apart, so it didn't feel like we were together.
I came here for dinner with a friend and had high expectations for Beat Mazesoba but the experience fell flat in my opinion. We both ordered the miso ramen and a chicken karaage appetizer. After taking our order and bringing the food to us, we never saw our waitress again and had to flag her down for the check. We were still contemplating whether or not to get drinks too but decided against it since nobody came to check on us. As for the food, the chicken karaage was decent but the broth for the ramen was super salty and made it difficult to enjoy. Perhaps my expectations are too high but I think there's better authentic ramen and Japanese spots in the area with a more pleasant dining experience.
Conveniently on Northern Blvd with no trouble finding street parking (metered and residential). It is a large space with nicely spaced out tables and some bar seating. It wasn't too crowded (4 filled tables) on a Saturday evening, though there were a few people coming in for delivery and takeout. They probably get more people during their weekday Happy Hour (3-6 PM). The staff was attentive and friendly. The Crispy Wings (Soy Nanban) was definitely crispy! I can really taste the marinade, which is balanced with the freshness of the lemon. The Beat Mazemen is their signature dish. Be sure to mix well! It is very flavorful, with tender meat, perfect thickness with the noodles, and a delicious marinated jammy egg. They have a container of yuzu vinegar, which lightens the heavier flavors. And once you reach the bottom of the bowl, you can add some rice (comes with the Mazemen in a small bowl) to soak up the remaining sauce, and gobble it up with the spoon! I was too full at this point, so I packed it to go. The Hot Matcha Tea comes in a small mug with the tea bag, so you can leave it in as long as you like. Pretty sure it's the ito en matcha tea bags, which I do enjoy. This helped refresh my palate from the strong flavors. Definitely the spot to checkout for the Mazemen! Seems to be good for groups and drinking!
Food taste was 9/10 you can definitely find great tasting food for cheaper than this place but this was also pretty good Service was good we were the only ones in at the time however. Ambiance was good as well the food felt real good on a freezing day in queens
Beat Mazesoba is SO UNDERRATED how come no one raves about this spot on social media??? It is such a hidden gem specialized in mazesoba in Flushing near the Broadway LIRR Station. I am so hyped and keep telling my friends how delicious their food are. THEY DESERVE MORE BUZZ!! ＊Beat Mazemen*** The signature mazemen itself deserves all the stars. It is a brothless hot soba topped with marinated ground pork, thickly cut pork belly, nori, onsen egg, and half ramen egg. I suggest mixing the ramen first and add the vinegar when you are halfway through. They serve a mini bowl of rice on the side for you to clean every drip of the flavorful sauce. ＊Tuna Yukke Bowl The tuna bowl is topped with hearty chunks of raw tuna, cucumber and shredded tamago. Shoyu on the side. It is like a giant poke bowl. ＊Shoyu Ramen Although they are more known for mazesoba, their ramen is also delicious. They have options like miso, shoyu, shio and kimchi ramen.
We went here on a Saturday afternoon right as they opened for lunch. We were the only table in the restaurant. Service was friendly. The presentation of the food was very nice. Everything was tasty, however, the meat from the skewers was just slightly over done and the unagi was a bit too salty. I would go back again to try the ramen.
I'm always down to trying any new form of Japanese cuisine. Tried the soba forms, ramen forms, noodles where you dip in a sauce before slurping, black garlic broth, noodles to keep dry on a mat. Honestly thought that would be the end of it. But Mazemen is a Japanese noodle dish that was intriguing. The dish itself is ramen but before the soup. This is meant to swirl in everything after adding an oil sauce to it. If there was a form of ugly but delicious eating, this was it. Any ramen enthusiast would be skeptical about trying it brothless. The oil sauce was a nice touch and it balanced all the items nicely. Only at this corner of Flushing can you find this specialty. I've had my fair share of 30 ramen spots in NYC and only hold 3 in my preferred list. This experience was worth the trip. Also enjoy the fun variations to your usual Japanese dishes: like the butter garlic edamame, the grilled corn cheese, and that sake infused red sangria. Nom nom nom to the max.
I came to Beat Mazesoba to try the burger here, I promise. But got tempted by Niku Soba. It's good. Biggest kept secret on Northern Blvd and 162nd St! I love ramen here, of course. But happy there are also other options, like the Niku Soba. Next time, I really do want to try the burger here!! lol
The restaurant was empty when we got there but it filled up by the time we left. This was a sign that this restaurant probably catered to patrons that eat later. We got there for a 7p reservation. Majority of the party ordered the different Madison's to try. Apparently there is a way to eat it so ask your server or maybe your server will ask if you need to be shown what to do. Overall, the food was good and everyone left happy in the tummy!
We stumbled into Beat Mazesoba earlier this week because we were starving. The spicy ramen we order was good but the rib eye steak we order was well done when we told the server that we wanted our steak medium rare. The gravy on top of the ribeye has a great taste to it. Overall the service was great. The food was decent.
Think I've been here over 10 times now. I love their mazemen. Especially more than Okonomi Yuji's. They'll give you a bowl of rice to scoop up the remaining sauce when you're done with the noodles. Some of their appetizers are lackluster, but their staple, the mazemen, is fantastic. Their fries are battered which are the best kind IMO.
My friends and I were in the area, so we decided to have dinner here. It had stellar reviews, plus I bookmarked it, so I had to check it out. We shared a few of the appetizers such as the sake tartar and the garlic butter edamame. Both were subpar. Since I was at beat mazesoba, I had to check out what their signature dish is, so I had that, and it was alright. It tasted and looked like a cross between a yakisoba and ramen without the broth. We asked the waitress how to eat it as there's a process. My friend who got the shio ramen was unimpressed. Overall, nothing wowed me here.

Went back recently on a Saturday night. Restaurant was dead but there was a kid screaming and running around. Honestly the place has changed a lot. Got the beat mazesoba, it was so salty and garlicy I felt it the next day. Honestly was so bad. The apps were pretty good tho. Got the fries and karage. Service was mid. Need some help on it. Ambiance was quiet, no music just voices echoing. Overall need some change I think or else they'll run out of business. read more

Great place to try ramen and soba. I would highly recommend the mazemen. Choose your type and it includes ramen noodles and a small dish of rice. I tried "best mazemen". Great experience of different flavors. Overall very flavorful. Soba buckwheat noodles are fresh but if you're gluten free diet, you should avoid it. The cold dipping sauce was refreshing but I personally would have enjoyed it with more flavor. The fried chicken was juicy and flavorful but still crispy. Worth trying. There's outdoor seating in the back and front of the store. It's spacious and even safe for rainy days. read more
If you like to have some fun with your foods this is the place where you should try their "Mazemen". "Maze" in Japanese means "mix" or "stir" and "men" means "noodles" so you have to mix/stir your noodles before eating them. We have ordered different kinds of mazemen for a few times now. One of the things I love in Mazemen is the poached eggs. However there was a time when we ordered out and we couldn't find full poached eggs in our orders so we called the restaurant and according to the owner, the poached eggs are very very soft and they could get broken during the delivery. Tip: In order to make sure it's really there, the owner has recommended us to ask them to put eggs on the side which is a pretty good suggestion. Aside from mazemen, we also ordered beat skewers and chicken karaage bites which are good for snacking. Note: I tried to post vdo of how I mixed the noodles but it seems they don't allow vdos. So I posted pictures instead. Hope they are helpful. read more
Are you stuck looking for a spot to celebrate an occasion and limited to outdoor seating? LOOK NO FURTHER- Beat Mazesoba has amazing drinks and super filling main courses. Was able to make a reservation a few days before for lunch to secure a table on their beautiful outdoor patio (most importantly there's shelter from the elements). The staff are all super friendly and made sure to have sanitizer readily available almost everywhere. They took all our temps at the door and our waitress was wonderful in guiding us through the menu. For the birthday occasion they were able to place a few balloons and our waitress was super sweet to offer to take pics. I never had mazemen before but this was super filling and tasted amazing. I personally didn't need vinegar but I added chili powder. The extra rice at the end is definitely welcomed for those with big appetites. The chicken nanban was by far my favorite - perfectly flavored and crispy. read more

My tastebuds had a partaaaay!!! So flavorful and so filling with noodles thick and chewy. Just perfection. Can't wait to come back! I was skeptical about having dry ramen bc soup is essential but...this has changed the game! Highly recommend! read more
A rare find in Queens with a good ramen without any soup call mazemen. There were few things that I liked and I will return for them. They had a good selection of local draft beers and a good flavor of maze noodle. Their Kara-age chicken($9) was a pretty good appetizer to go with the beer. It tasted very similar to Taiwanese popcorn chicken with mayonnaise mixed sriracha sauce on the side. Their sticky ribs($9) was also very good. Both appetizers were priced reasonably and highly recommended. If you feel like you want to try something new as well as save a few bucks, then go there on a Monday. They have special on all the Mazemens for $12. Great price! I got the Beat Mazemen which was combination of shoyu and yuzu. It also came with a tiny bowl of rice to go with the leftover. All that added up really filled me up. Overall it was a bit salty but great flavor. Definitely come back for the ramen. read more
My friends and I came here for a little get-together and to celebrate one of their birthdays. The staff was SO nice and accommodating. We didn't make a reservation ahead of time so when we arrived they initially said they didn't have space in their outdoor seating area, but then one of the staff members said they could move around some tables for the reservation coming in later, freeing up a table for us. They were so sweet and even offered to put the cake we brought in their fridge. The outdoor seating area is in the back of their restaurant and it's basically a small shed-like place. We each ordered a different entree and had some drinks to share. The Banh Mi French Fries were so good!! Such a unique twist on classic fries. I enjoyed my soba and the sangria was pretty good too. For my friend's birthday, the staff sang happy birthday as they brought out the cake and it was such a friendly environment. I'd definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a nice Japanese restaurant to grab a meal or a drink with some friends. Will come back again to try their mazesoba dish! read more

The staff were super kind and friendly. The curry and beat mazeman soba were delicious. The yuzu cheese cake was to DIE for so goood. I recommend everyone go and try this place. read more
I've wanted to try this place since my daughter tried it with some friends and raved about the food. So my friend and I decided to go for my birthday and we tried the mazemen for the very first time. Flavor was good, noodles were chewy and veggies were good! We didn't need to add much vinegar. The bahn mi fries and fish tacos were also tasty. Will have to come back to try some other things on the menu as we were too full. Wish they also offered some shrimp options on the menu. read more

Excellent food, service, and ambiance! 10/10 recommend the beat mazesoba signature, but everything was delicious read more
Been beating around the bush to try Beat Mazesoba because I really didn't know what to expect. I've heard nothing but good things though and my partner has been dying to try it so we finally made it out on a chill Friday date night. First off, I want to say, they have taken covid precautions. All the wait staff are wearing masks, they check your temperature, write down your information and they have tried to space out their seating to every other. They also have a back terrace space so that was really nice to see. Environment: My first impression of the space was modern, chic, an upscale Japanese-psuedo fine dining experience. Dim lighting, modern decor, you got to appreciate the effort they went through to spruce up the place. Food: Since we were here, we decided to try out their signature Beat Mazeman. I'm a ramen purist so it was a little hard for me to choose it, and I almost opted for their classic ramen soup based option which they also had on the menu. We also shared a beat sticky ribs. The sticky ribs were delicious, a great balance and blend of sweet and savory and sticky! By the time I finished, I just wanted more of it. Don't try to upscale this, it's finger food and just go full savage on it. lol. The main course Beat Mazeman came out, and my initial comment I have to say is - think ramen bibimbap. They explained how there were (3) parts to this process. First part is to mix everything and experience the taste. Second part is to add some vinegar if you want to change it up and cut through the salt. Optional in my opinion and not needed. Last part is to drop the rice into the end to soak up all the sauce. I have to say, the mixing of all the flavors and sauce was just SIMPLY AMAZING. I was shocked by all the flavor profiles happening in my mouth as I was eating it. The soaking of the rice at the end is a very common in many asian cultures like the Korean culture. It was a great finish to the course. The dish kind of reminded me of a mentai pasta dish with regards to the creaminess. Summary: All in all, a must try. Hands down. I would highly recommend both the Beat Mazeman and the Sticky Ribs as I don't think either will disappoint. Great for a date night or for a small group of friends. read more

Wonderful take on ramen and great beer! We got the Beat Mazemen, mussel pot, beat sticky ribs and a beer flight. The Beat Mazemen was definitely my favorite of all the things we ordered. It was interesting since it's ramen elements without the soup. It was very flavorful, not too salty and a solid amount of food. It comes with a side of rice, which was very helpful to soak up the rest of the sauce once we finished all the noodles. Unfortunately i didn't go on Monday, but I did see that the Mazemen is only $12 on Mondays! I also did love the beer flight! On happy hour even the beer flight was half off for all the beers on tap, which came out to $6 for the flight of 4. I especially liked the hazy pale ale since it paired really well with the food we got. I'll definitely be coming back to try the more of the menu. read more
Occasionally, I would get a strong craving for the yuzu shio mazemen. The pork belly is so flavorful and juicy. The noodles are just the right amount of chewy. And with the sauce remaining at the end, you add a small bowl of rice. TIt may look like not a lot of food, but I leave over-stuffed every time. My boyfriend got the shoyu mazemen which had minced meat. It was pretty good but the sauce remaining at the end, mixed with rice was pretty spicy. So I would be hesitant to choose this if your spice tolerance is low. Overall, the mazemen was good, but it was on the saltier side so plan to fill at least 1/4 of your stomach with water. The banh mi fries were decent but some fries were not as crispy as others. The flight was good. Out of the four that I tried, I like usimake(?) beats and nargansett. They have a lighter taste which I like. The allagash white had a very strong fruity taste. Overall, it is on the pricier side so would come if I have a strong craving or on special occasions. read more

Food was excellent portion sizes were large and the staff was friendly and attentive. The taste of my ramen was superb. In an area crowded with ramen spots give Beat Mazesoba a try and you won't be disappointed. read more
Ben wanting to try this place for a while and finally got my chance. Our party of 3 order a few items to share. The mussel pot with the curry sauce was delicious! Can just get a big bowl of rice to soak up the sauce. The fried were really crispy but too much sauce for me. The fish taco was surprisingly tasty. The only fault was they did not heat up the tortilla. If they did it would of been fantastic. The star was suppose to be the noodle dish but It was just ok for me. I did not pay attention to the instructions in the menu and totally forgotten to add the vinegar to the noodles. Maybe that was the problem? Guess I will have to go back again and do it right read more

Came her to celebrate an early Mother's Day with my mom. Glad I did cuz we really enjoyed Beat Mazesoba. The service was a bit slow but the food made up for it. The bao buns were DELICIOUS!!! I mean, they were sooooo yum that my mouth is watering from me just thinking about it. The chicken wings ... get the namban sauce!!! We asked the waitress for her suggestion on the sauce and she recommended the namban. We tried that and LOVED it so much that we decided to try another sauce ... the sticky sauce. Yeah ... we should have stopped while we were ahead. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't great either. Next time, I'll remember to stick with a waitstaff's recommendation instead of going rogue ... lol. The mazeramens that we ordered were the curry and yuku shio. My mom thought the curry was a bit salty for her taste but I tried it, and it was yum all the way. We also had the spicy miso ramen. After I questioned how spicy the spicy miso ramen was, the waitress suggested I have the spicy sauce on the side so I can add it to my liking. Good call! I added just enough spice where I was able to enjoy my food. Will I be returning?!? Hell yeah ... I want those damn baos and chicken wings again!!! Wishing Beat Mazesoba continued success in 2021!! read more
Came here for a weekend family lunch and absolutely loved it! The restaurant is clean, servers are so nice! Consrnstky asking us how we're doing and right there when we needed them. They were so accommodating and understood what kids would like and be. We got: 1. Mussel Pot - this is so so good- the broth is so flavorful with a hint of spicy. Even after all the mussels are done, you just want to soak up the broth in bread. 2. Kimchi Fries - my kids who generally hate anything spicy loved this and ate it all up! 3. Shoyu Ramen - I loved the flavoring, the broth is savory but not too salty, mixed with vegetables and egg and meat - this is a perfect meal. 4. Karage - my kids call these Korean chicken nuggets! crispy, crunchy with a meaty inside - a fav amongst the little ones. Overall I really love this find - close to home, tons of parking and open seating. The restaurant very well decorated and lit. I'll definitely be back here and over and over again. read more
Ordered through GH and food came on time, hot and fresh. Thoughtfully packaged with a little note on how to enjoy the mazesoba. Thai Mussel Pot (Large) - spicy, full of flavor and came with buttered, toasted baguette slices. It was a little saltier than what I had before but it still packed a lot of flavor. Chicken Karage - crispy and juicy but I think **they forgot the spicy mayo dipping sauce. Note that there was a little dash of red powder so it had a slight peppery kick. Beat Mazesoba - another yelped said they ate it plain (well mixed) and then added the vinegar and this was such a great idea! It does get a littlr rich so adding the vinegar halfway through changed the flavor profile and gave it a freshness. I like their menu because it's not your typical Japanese spot. Because of the Korean/New American fusion menu, flavors are bold and spicy. Definitely recommend to at least try even if you're not a fan of Japanese cuisine. read more

Orders like tonight make me wish I had 3 stomachs! We started the night with our appies, the Bahn Mi french fries and the Mussel Pot. The mussels were delightful with fragrant green curry taste and the toasted thin bread was so delicious dipped in the mussel sauce. Even my bf who tries to avoid carbs had to break his diet tonight for that perfect bite. The bahn mi french fries were rich in flavor. Even though it didn't taste so much like Bahn mi, despite having all the toppings present, we both really enjoyed this dish. Every fry was coated with the savory sauce and sliced radish, carrots, and cilantro. Yum! Both appies were hearty, and great comfort dishes after a long day. We ordered Nigori sake to go with our meal, and it came in the cutest porcelain vase thing with two cute drinking cups. Those on their own were enough to distract me from the strong taste of the sake, haha! The taste was definitely strong but had a tinge of light sweetness mixed in. We honestly would have been satisfied with the meal if it had ended there, but our main courses, the mazemens, arrived and we were a little too full to enjoy. But compared to my previous dining experiences, they were just as yummy as always. I got the curry flavor and he got the shoyu. Both delicious in flavor with or without the additional vinegar. We took about half of it to go. Next time, will bring more people with me so that I can enjoy more different dishes! read more

Meh. Hard to understand all these positive reviews. I came here expecting to be wowed by the bao bun and brothless mazemen and sad to report neither is of any good, not worthy of a try. We tried the pork belly bao bun, mussels, shuyou ramen and mazemen. The pork belly in the bao buns and the mazemen tasted like they were overnight/leftovers, I have made tastier pork belly than this sad thing. Nothing memorable about the dry noodle bowl or the ramen. Service was...barely existent? It wasn't busy at all for a weekend night (that should have been a clue for us). There were only two servers, only came to us once to take orders and served it. read more
I loved this place, and I still do. Just do yourself a favor and do not order the ramen. It was just subpar, and the price definitely didn't justify it. I ordered the spicy miso ramen and the broth has some odd fishy smell and the noodles were average at best. I wouldn't be opposed to coming again, but it definitely would solely be for their small plates. read more

Beat M.
Thank you. We will try our best. Hope to See you again soon.
Interesting spot to have lunch, meet a friend, hang out.... there is a bar in front where one can drink and dine, as well as several tables to eat. The noodles were quite interesting. No soup and lots of spices and items added to enhance the experience. The portions were large enough to share though I would try to eat it all!!! They also give you a bowl of rice to add to you remains. I had the signature dish - beat mazeman, which had a combo of the shoyu (mince pork) and the Yusu shio(pork belly), scallion, onion, arugula, garlic, poached egg.... We also had yummy appetizers too. We did the wings, fish tacos and ribs. The ribs lack taste but hubby loved the fish tacos! We were super full!!. Definitely coming back!!! read more

Great ramen place, especially on a cold day. Ordered the miso and shiso ramens. Both delicious and tasty. Miso much tastier. Daughter enjoyed a burger. Port belly baos were ok. It had a lot of pickled carrots and radish that were a bit too much for me. All in all, great food and would recommend. read more
This store is known for their mazemen (broth-less ramen mix). To be honest, I never knew or even heard of the whole concept of mazemen prior to eating here. I only initially came here because I just saw a new store front pop up on Northern Blvd amidst the pandemic (or maybe even earlier (?), but haven't noticed) and I've seen a couple of people I knew that also visited. To my surprise, I am now a fan of mazemen and wondered how I didn't know about this before. All this time, I've missed out... After the waiter mentioned that they specialize in mazemen and seen on the video that the owner tried to study and perfect the whole art of mazemen from Japan, I knew it seems legit and I had to get it for my first visit! I chose YUZU SHIO MAZEMEN simply because of the chashu (pork belly). There is a whole process to eating mazemen that I first learned which consists of first mixing the ingredients & tasting the flavor before adding the vinegar. I enjoyed every bit of the first process because it definitely allows you to appreciate every component of the dish that the chef took time to create. Between the soft pork belly, the nicely poached egg and the added toppings (scallion, arugula, onion, garlic), it really blended really well together. The part of adding the vinegar after also makes it also very unique. You can add as much or as little of the vinegar as you want, but definitely advise adding small amounts at first if you don't know how much you need/want. It has a tangy sour kick. It compliments the dish if added appropriately. Lastly, you mix the leftovers with rice. If the noodles didn't fill you up, they add a small side of rice. It tops off the stomach and leaves you full. All in all, I left really satisfied with all the appetizers and especially the mazemen experience that I had. read more

Beat Mazesoba is the kind of low-key bar and restaurant you want to become a regular at if you live in the area. A self-proclaimed destination for Japanese comfort food, you feel right at home as soon as you walk into their midcentury modern interior and take a seat. It's honestly just a great place to relax and grab a drink with someone, I'm personally a fan of their pomegranate sake sangria - perfectly balanced and tasty! Appetizers like their fish tacos and pork belly bao buns really hit the spot, too. If you're in the mood for something more filling, I recommend any of their mazemen (brothless ramen). The curry one is a personal favorite of mine, not too spicy yet still very savory, and comes in such a large portion size! Will definitely be returning. read more

Had dinner here Sunday night around 6pm. There wasn't too many people but definitely filled up by the time we left. We were a party of 4 and ordered a few dishes that came out pretty fast. For appetizers we ordered the mussels and the sticky ribs. The mussels were good and has a nice spice from the curry. The ribs were ok, a bit on the dry side. For dinner we ordered the mazemen, chashu don, and 2 classic ramen (one regular and one spicy). All the noodle dishes were pretty good but the chashu don was underwhelming. It was my first time having the mazemen and I was not disappointed. Its a little on the heavy side with the thick noodles and the rich sauce, but with was really tasty. The ramen, I was told by the others in my party, was pretty good. They both finished the whole bowl. Definitely stick to the noodle dishes if you go. read more
SO GOOD! Sheesh... my wife and I usually eat out on Fridays after work. It was my turn to pick the place & I chose to come here and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! Waiter greeted us & seated us immediately upon entering. There were so many tables open when we came at 6pm on a Friday night. She checked our vaccination cards, which was good. The menu was very simple & straightforward. I ordered 2 appetizers & 2 entrees: Kimchi Pork Baos, Banh Mi Fries, Beat Mazemen, and Yuzu Shio Mazemen. Omg 10/10 on the taste, presentation & service! The dishes came out literally lightning speed (~5 min after we ordered). The entrees came out about 5 mins after the appetizers as well! Everything was so damn delicious: the pork belly bao bun sandwiches (2pc) were so well balanced & such a delight to open up the meal with. The pork belly was sooo tender and moist, as if it's been slow cooking for days! The pickled vegetables on top were very nice & acidic.. the perfect fresh touch needed to balance the fatty pork belly. Easily everyone's favorites here in this store. The mazemens? BOMB. Both of them were excellent. I can't even fully describe the taste. It tastes like a perfect medley of Japanese & Korean flavors (premium soy sauce, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, sugar, and spices. They present it so nicely also! With a poached egg, some fresh chopped scallions & a seaweed paper on the side. To DIE for! The only 2 problems I saw were minor. 1 - the waiter/waitress never really came to our table to check in on us throughout our meal (they were, however, very attentive from a distance. I rose my hand once and they came right away without me trying hard to get their attention). 2 - they were all out of certain things on the menu tonight.. like yuzu white peach soda & the yuzu cheesecake with ice cream (which was their only dessert option). The last time my wife ordered takeout from here, they ran out of some items as well (different ones). I thought that was a bit odd that they ran out of stock so often. Overall, 5/5 stars and no real complaints from me. I'll DEF be back for sure! Make sure you go try this place NOW while it's not jam packed! read more
We made reservations for 6PM for our party of 7 on a Sunday Night. We were able to make reservations right before they opened & did not have to wait for our table! The outdoor dining space is super cute & they do have heaters but it still is a little cold. They do give you some warm water so that will help keep your hands warm while you wait! I've never heard Mazesoba before but I'm glad I tried it out! It is a dry noodle dish in which you mix all the ingredients, then add vinegar to your liking. After you finish the noodles, you add some rice in the leftover sauce & finish your meal that way! I had the Yuzu Shio Mazesoba & I highly recommend this one! The citrus complements the savoriness of the pork while the noodles themselves have the perfect amount of chewiness to them. My friends tried the Shio Mazeman & the Beat Mazeman. They said that their bowls were also delicious but a bit salty for them. We also had the Kimchi Pork Baos. I personally thought these were just okay. They tasted great & the pork was tender but it was nothing super special to me. If you've never had them before, I think they are worth trying. Service was also great. Our waitress was super sweet & explained everything thoroughly to us! If you're in Queens & looking for something a little different to ramen, I would highly recommend trying this place out! read more

WOW!!!!! Is that enough exclamations? This place is amazing! They are new to the area but they are already a top favorite for me. It was so good that we went 2 nights in a row. Covid compliance: Temperature reading at the door, contact tracing, supplied hand sanitizer at the door AND every table, actual sanitization of tables and chairs between customers, workers wear masks, workers wear gloves, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, they change gloves between interactions! Fresh glove applications! This is truly impressive because they understand actual hygiene practices! Restaurant & Decor: I'm a plant mom so I absolutely LOVED and admired all the live plants they have in the restaurant to block section off each table. I felt like I was in my own private dining space because not only were we distanced appropriately but we were surrounded by gorgeous plants. The decorations were lovely as well. Adorned on the back wall where the bar & beer on tap were located is the Seigaiha print- bold, beautiful, and classic. This motif extends to their plates and ups as well. I'm impressed by the continuity in theme. The restaurant has outdoor dining both in the front of the restaurant, and on a built patio in the back. We dined both inside and in the back. I loved the vibe of the back because of all the string lights and again, the plants. Food: I'm thoroughly impressed with the extensive flavor profiles that I experienced here. We obviously tried their signature mazeman and we were blown away by the depth of flavor! It was our first time with this experience and we loved the guidance of how to eat it from the menu and the dish itself. I loved their kimchi pork bao as well! They blend their flavors well in each dish they serve up. I was not disappointed by anything I ordered. Service: On our first night, the place was packed (as much as it could be with restrictions) an hour before closing and the guy who was serving was also the host, the bartender, and the food runner. I really admired how hard he worked the time that we were there and am impressed that he completed each role without us feeling like we had to wait too long for anything. On our second night, our waitress was amazing as well! What really stood out to me was how when she poured our beers, she took the time to pour as perfect of a pour as possible, then she displayed our cans so that the label and name was facing us. It was like a show! Overall, wow! read more
Been here a handful of times and it never disappoints. Their menus has changed a bit since they first opened but everything is still good! I have tried various ramens and mazemens here and I suggest trying the mazemen if you have never tried it! It's a dry- mix ramen and at the end you add rice to mix whatever sauce you have left. Their soba noddles are all made in-house as well. I also tried their yuzu matcha iced tea but it was a bit too powdery for my liking. read more

This was my first time eating here on recommendation by a friend. I have to say I am very impressed by the fries and the mazemen. Both are very very delicious and huge, HUGE portions. Definitely be ready to share the fries with another person. I don't recommend ordering the fries for takeout or to bring home as leftovers because I did that with the leftovers from today and it just doesn't taste the same. They go from amazingly crispy to sad and soggy. However, their mazemen and karaage hold well as leftovers or for takeout. So plan accordingly if you eat there in person vs takeout. Definitely will return again in the future and worth making the trip from Staten Island (75 minute drive one-way). There is plenty of street parking, paid and unpaid, depending on how far you are willing to walk. read more
A great hidden gem of a ramen spot. I am very picky when it comes to ramen and this is one of the few places that have perfected it! Their other dishes are great too. There are plenty of other great and flavorful dishes as well. Trying the Beat mazemen was a very pleasant surprise. Quiet local with hard to find parking but it is so worth it. And get bubble tea from Coco in 2 min since it's across the street. read more
