I ordered this place for takeout and even when it arrived it was super hot and had a great texture. 1. UMAMI CUCUMBER BITE (7/10): The sauce did not taste like any special. It tasted like sesame oil and soy sauce. It felt a bit greasy but the cucumbers tasted fresh. I don't think I would order this again. 2. SPICY PORK BONE (8/10): This was delicious but lacked some of the richer flavors that ramen usually has. The egg was cooked perfectly and I really liked the bamboo in it. I would get this again if I was in the store. The delivery was fast and still delicious. I would definitely go to the restaurant to try it out in person.
(Overall: A) - Jun-Men Ramen is a ramen shop closer to the west side of Chelsea and I visited recently to try their take on a Pork Bone Ramen. I found their pork to be incredibly tender and adequately plentiful. The egg is beautifully marinated in soy, and the broth is very rich and well developed in that pork bone flavor. At $21, perhaps the ramen was a bit expensive, especially with no fresh vegetable besides scallions, but not too unreasonable for Chelsea standards. The atmosphere is very petite and cute and filled with a lovely aroma of truffle oil, that made me inclined to try their signature dry uni ramen next time. The staff are kind and overall, this was a pleasant experience! -- Food: +1 Presentation: E Price: E Atmosphere: +1 Service: +1 Menu: +1 Overall: +4 A IG: @amei.eats
Food (5/5) - I came here last 3 years ago and am happy to report that the quality has been just as good! Broth is rich but smooth / no residue, the chili oil / paste adds a savoury kick to the noodles. I'm a stickler for noodle texture and this was borderline soft, I usually prefer them with a fresher bite. Egg is soft-boiled, chashu has been marinated through and is melt in your mouth. Ambiance (4/5) - Cozy and cute, has nice yellow lights reminiscent of lantern light and a counter-serve Japanese restaurant. Tables can get a little close especially for larger groups. Service (5/5) - Prompt and polite, they came by a few times to check on our food. They aren't pushy but place does turn over quite quickly. Price (4/5) - 20+ for a bowl of noodles without additions, desserts are around 10, and sodas are 8-10. Portions were decent, I finished my bowl and was happily full.
Incredible ramen. Service was very good and fast, price was decent and food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended.
Solid, no frills ramen spot with quick service. I had the spicy pork bone ramen and my friend had the veggie ramen. I got the chili paste oil on the side to control the spice level. We both added it to our ramen and it was perfect. The broth was creamy and delicious. The pork seemed like very good quality meat. My friend thinks veggie ramen can be a hit or miss and said it was a hit here. The space is smaller with a few tables for two, bar/counter seating, and one longer table that seats either a larger group or serves as a communal table. Full table service but with a quick in and out vibe. They don't have a winter vestibule enclosure outside like most NYC restaurants and the place is small so every time the door opened, we felt a big rush of wind/cold air which overall was minor but pretty annoying. Would recommend!
The service was fantastic and vibes were super chill m but sadly the ramen didn't live up to the hype seems like a neighborhood spot if you're in a pinch but not a ramen destination spot.
Nice restaurant. Tried their ramen this time. It was good but a bit too rich for me. The sweet potato fries were reeally good, but just expected something more like roasted potato chunks. Overall I think I just really liked the uni mazemen I got in the past, and would probably stick to that.
The ramen itself is quite good. An indulgent delight of fatty, unctuous, meaty, and umami broth. The noodles are al dente perfection. Firm, chewy, and the ideal foil to the richness of the broth. Though as sumptuous as the ramen is, the service is begrudgingly rigid and unaccommodating. The ramen is as almost as good as Hide-Chan or Totto, but the service could use improvement.
My coworker and I came here for lunch on a Friday. It's right on 9th Ave, which was very close to our office and convenient. We were pleasantly surprised to see they had outside seating but it was pretty hot so we opted for indoor seating. They don't have many seats inside but it was fine since they weren't too busy at the time we went. We both opted for spicy ramen: I chose the spicy pork bone and my friend chose the spicy miso. They were both delicious and came out very quickly. I will definitely be stopping by next time I want some ramen at the office.
The Uni Mushroom Dry Ramen is truly an incredible bowl of noodles. The egg noodles were delicious and cooked to a perfect chewy consistency. All the other ingredients perfectly complemented each other and each was really tasty individually, especially the mushrooms and pancetta. The truffle oil added a great truffle flavor and sophistication to the dish, while the fried shallots added some crunchier texture. The parmesan added some creaminess and cheesiness to top things off. I also added chashu pork for $3 and it was tender and delicious as well. All of this is to say that I was in umami heaven. This was well worth the $27 ($24 + $3 for the chashu pork). My only complaint was that there was only one piece of uni there. I also tried a regular ramen bowl with broth, which was tasty as well. It's kind of a small place but there is a nice interior with seating both inside and outside. The service speed was fast and our waitress was friendly and attentive. Overall, if you have any interest in noodles, you simply must try this dry noodle dish at Jun-Men Ramen Bar - might be the best noodle bowl you will get in NYC.
Came here for quick dinner and got vegetarian ramen and it was delicious, the broth was creamy and loved the sour cabbage that gave it more flavor and ofc the giant fried mushroom. Service was friendly and food came fast, the space was intimate but had ample seating nice for small parties and couples
A cute place for casual meal with friends in Chelsea! I ordered a pork bone to try a classic and was pretty satisfied with it. The broth was flavorful without being too salty, which is something I take note of, as so many places have really salty broths and I always have to drink so much water while eating! The pork slices were kind of thin and I felt that there weren't enough when eating the ramen, and kind of wished they gave just... one.. more slice.. to make it perfectly balanced. The noodles were a bit more cooked than my usual preferences, but still pretty good overall. Pork buns were a littler overpriced but still enjoyed it! Tip: The bathroom inside is kind of camouflaged b/c of the wallpaper but it's at the LEFT of the kitchen! I made the mistake of just going to the open area and it was the kitchen...
This is the ultimate subtle flex spot. Like you eat ramen but I eat better ramen spot. All the ingredients are simple but executed perfectly, no fancy dress up of the food. The restaurant was small and only sits about 15 people at most with adds into the vibe of the spot. Service was extremely fast and they were attentive throughout the dinner. 3 noodles and 2 orders of pork buns came out to about $130.

My friends and I were starving when we came here at around 8:30pm and we were so glad there was no line! I got the spicy pork ramen and it was delicious-the broth is not as rich as other places but that was fine with me, as I wasn't in the mood for super rich broth. I really, really liked the chashu-it was moist, tender, a little fatty, and was well-seasoned. I just wish that the ramen was a little bit spicier. The egg was cooked perfectly soft boiled, and the noodles were thin noodles, which is my favorite kind of ramen noodles. The store was pretty cute and modernly decorated, and the service was friendly, nice, and fast. Would return if I'm ever in the area! read more

One of my favorite ramen spots in NYC! I have been here three times now and it never disappoints. I especially love: Sweet Potato Fries Crunchy Cauliflower Chicken Ramen The noodles in the ramen are my favorite because they're the thin kind and don't get overly soft/mushy. The inside has limited searing but thankfully seats seem to clear pretty quickly! Service is also very fast! It's great for either lunch or dinner, and it's so cozy and inviting inside. read more
This place is cozy, cute, and trendy. We stepped foot inside after visiting an art opening down the street. The weather was extremely cold so ramen is a must. We were greeted and sat immediately. For starters, we shared the fried rice and it was good but not memorable. I love how each one of us in the group ordered something different so we were able to depict each ramen. I got the spicy miso ramen and it felt so close to actually being back in Japan - the warmth of the rich broth and pork was benevolent together. The server was simultaneously flawless with managing all the tables in the restaurant. Speed to lead and remained calm scanning the room. I was very impressed with her dexterous manner. Even so much, we ordered dessert. The matcha creme brûlée, I was quite astonished of how pleasant it tasted. I am not a matcha person per se, that it doesn't take over my palate. It was sweet and light.. we should have ordered more hehe. read more

Fantastic spot with delicious food to satisfy your ramen craving! The crispy shrimp was a recommended appetizer and it did not disappoint with its flavor and crunch. The spicy pork bone ramen and spicy miso ramen were both delicious and hearty. Service is amazing and the ambiance is homey. Definitely recommend. read more
Stopped in for some quick ramen and service was very quick and attentive. It's a small place so the one waitress was serving everyone. Ramen was fresh and tasty. I have no complaints, I just wish there were more seafood options on the menu. Nonetheless great portion and clean atmosphere. Their spoons can def use an update but that's all. read more
Pricey, high quality but not exactly mind blowing. The ramen was surprisingly oily, like as in you can see nearly half a centimeter of clear liquid in top of the creamy broth. I ate nearly all of it and I fear looking at the scale. read more
Tried out this cute little ramen shop on a weekday night and it was surprisingly quite packed for 8PM on a Wednesday. They have lots of outdoor seating and the little booths are well-lit and even has heating for those chilly nights. We got seated right away and the service was speedy and efficient. I tried their classic Tonkotsu ramen (my go-to when it's my first time trying out a ramen shop) and was very happy with it. The broth was definitely the highlight of the bowl - it was flavorful without being too salty or making me want to drink a liter of water after. They are generous with most of their toppings (menma, green onions, wood ear mushroom) but the pork slices were very thin and small. The half egg was a pleasant surprise though! Last but not least, the noodles were thin and springy but just slightly too soft for my liking. Overall a good bowl of ramen that will satisfy your ramen cravings! read more
Came in Friday night. Had no reservations but we had no trouble getting a table. The service was quick and efficient. I enjoyed the decor and especially the music that was played. We both ordered vegetarian ramen with an egg. The egg was perfect, and the fried mushroom in it was delicious. Otherwise the ramen was pretty good, not the best, but still pretty decent. I also like that they have other options on the menu besides the ramen though we did not get to try them. Very good experience overall. read more

The ramen here was pretty solid! Like what many others have said, the soup is creamy but light and full of umami. The pork (although tinier pieces) was super tender and well seasoned. I like that this already has the addition of mushrooms, eggs and bamboo without any added cost. Certainly hits the spot ! The sweet potato fries were surprisingly tasty! Maple syrup was drizzled on the top which was a nice addition bc it tasted like a cozy dessert but then you have this mayo (mixed with something) that's savory and really good too. I don't know what it is but everything about these fries were fire. read more
Friend and I got the uni truffle and the spicy pork bone broth ramen. The uni truffle is a dry ramen, and packs a full truffle flavor. While it has a cream sauce, it's not overly rich and enjoyed this dish. The spicy pork bone ramen was good too, and the spices added to the deep meat flavor, rather than just making the broth spicy. I would get this ramen specifically for the spices, although it's not really spicy for anyone who's looking for high spice levels. The noodles were a bit thinner and more cooked than I ideally like though. read more

A cozy, friendly ramen spot. The place itself was very clean and airy, didn't feel too crowded. The service was efficient and food came out quickly. We felt the food was good, but not memorable. We ordered the pork bone ramen, veggie ramen, and the crunchy shrimp. The veggie ramen was one of the better vegetarian ramens I've had, but the pork bone ramen was pretty unremarkable. Walked in for lunch on a Saturday at 12:30 and had no wait for a party of 2, but as we left (around 1:30) there were a couple of parties waiting. read more
I came here yesterday for lunch at around 12pm and was seated immediately, there was only one other group in the restaurant when we sat down but it filled up fast at around 1pm. I got the spicy pork bone, and my girlfriend got the chicken ramen. I thought the pork bone tasted much better than the chicken. The spicy pork was a solid bowl of authentic tasting ramen, not the best but it's definitely up there on my list. The pork chashu is why I'm giving it 5 stars. It was absolutely the best i've had out of every ramen place I've been to in the city and it came with a good amount too. I would get extra chashu if I come back because it was that good. Totalled to about $50 for both including tip. read more
It was a chilly night. I really wanted ramen so a friend suggested this place and the Yelp reviews seemed honest enough. I had the spicy pork bone ramen (not spicy). Super rich delicious mouth watering everything ramen should taste like ramen. Super tender pork and it warmed me up right away Lol. Very delicious and the outside eating area blocks the wind, which is a big plus. Contactless menu and payments. read more
One of the best ramen in new york. We ordered the pork bone. Taste good. Definitely will comeback to this place. The service was good. Staffs were friendly. I like the ambience of the restaurant. Not recommended for big party because the place is quite small. CONCLUSION = RECOMMENDED!!! read more
There was always a wait prior to the pandemic. While I do wish the long wait would return for the restaurant industry in NYC, I am glad to be the beneficiary of this impact. Came here on a cold Friday night for some ramens and we decided to sit indoor. Temperature was taken and contact tracing step was performed (good) and everyone was wearing masks and gloves. We shared an order of chicken bun and ordered a spicy pork and spicy miso each. Both ramens were of good portion and flavorful- I guess it really depends on what you are in the mood for. We then ordered all the sakes on the menu and spent about 4 hours there. Where can you really go these days when everything closes at 10pm? Definitely a nice neighbor gem! read more

We visited the Edge and were hungry afterwards. I did a quick search for Ramen and this place came up. I'm so glad we walked there and tried it. Super delish! We hesitated for a sec because the place was empty, but realized there were closing soon. It's a small place but well organized and it actually AU's a lot of seating. The server was very very nice and attentive. I'll definitely eat there again a soon! read more
Good neighborhood ramen spot. I usually like my noodles a little bit thicker than here but that's just my personal preference. Otherwise, good flavors, tender meat, nice customer service, and always has availability when I stop by! (The other option nearby, Kame, sometimes has a wait.) read more

Huge huge thank you to the host who let us in near closing time and lets us stay to finish our food! We wanted to try this place and didn't realize it closed early. The miso ramen is really good and very flavorful! read more

The ramen: tasty, but didn't stand out. I had the "veggie ramen" which honestly should have been named "mushroom ramen," because wow - it was shroomy! It comes topped with a giant hunk of crispy fried maitake mushroom, and then the rest of the bowl has plenty of smaller pieces of kikurage mushroom. The mushrooms were admittedly tasty (even for someone who is not the biggest mushroom fan), but they did sort of dominate the bowl. The outdoor dining setup: top notch! I visited on February 15, and they were not doing indoor dining, but they had a bunch of completely walled-in structures that accommodate one party each. The heater on the ceiling was sufficient to keep us from shivering even in 35 degree weather. read more

OK... I'm in New York, and after a couple decades of not being in the city... And so everything is shining, bright, happy and delicious... That said, I still thought Jun-Men was great, and so did my son. Great broth, the noodles had bite, my spicy miso had serious kick... are the soft boiled egg were cooked perfectly. If I was going to kick anything at all... It's that the egg was cold. (clearly cooked well in advance), but I also could've let it sit in my soup a little bit longer... Lol Friendly/yum read more
Decent spot, and wasn't too busy on the Monday night I went. I tried the spicy miso ramen (broth: 3.5/5, noodz: 3/5, pork: 5/5, egg: 5/5), uni mushroom (decent and truffley in flavor), and the pork bun (meat was good but too much hoisin sauce) read more
