My son always orders the same things, Karaage, pork belly bao and tonkatsu ramen and never eats corns and ground pork floating in the rich broth in it. He says he does not want to cause the lady doubt her cooking is less than perfect lol. Instead he packs it back to home. He does enjoys the pork belly buns every time. Today's fat/lean ration on the pork belly is a bit off. The flavor remains tasty however. The Karaage is somewhat dry. Not sure is because different coating used or over cooked. Over all is a pleasant ramen spot to visit. I think sometimes people like some places is not Soly for food but for what other reasons make you feel good welcoming

Tldr: just okay. Not really any better or worse than most ramen spots. Nothing really stood out…read more Friend told me to check it out so I did. For appetizers we got the karaage. It's flavor was okay but texture was great.It tastes like any other karaage. The outside was super crispy, inside really juicy and soft. We also got the fries to share and the fries tasted decent. I don't like truffle normally but this was good and not too heavy on that flavor. Taste like the seaweed flavored potato chips. It also came with cod roe mayo and I'd say it was good with and without the mayo. The texture could be a bit better though. It didn't have enough of a crispy bite. A Black garlic ramen is one of my go tos at a ramen spot but this was a bit lacking. I definitely was expecting more black garlic flavor to it but I was barely tasting any at all. And despite not having much black garlic flavor, the ramen was very oily and if they did add a good amount of black garlic oil so all I could say would be that maybe their black garlic oil is a bit like on the garlic. Im not even sure if I would've wanted more black garlic oil just bc it was already so oily. The noodle texture was pretty good, a little on the thin side but was nice and firm. The Chicken ramen was nice and light. Not oily like the others not too salty and the broth as lots of flavor. It felt very refreshing compared to the black garlic ramen

The particular weekend we went (July 5), the air conditioning unit was broken so we were melting inside. Wooden benches and stools with no backs were not comfortable. Service (4/5): There was only one server bustling back and forth. She did a great job in getting orders, refilling waters, and closing out for just her. There were times we had to flag her down. Spicy chicken wings (5/5): Perfect exterior skin crunch with not too much breading. The sauce was light and not overpowering. Deluxe (5/5) and TanTan (5/5) were both very flavorful. Slightly preferred the Tan Tan more because it had a kick and more spice. I requested some extra chili oil for the Deluxe to give it a little more flavor. However, I felt like the broth was too salty. Pork slices were thin was flavored through with not too much fat to the pieces, so it wasn't tender or rich. I love the bounce and chew of the noodles. Definitely one of the better ramen shops in the neighborhood.

Susuru Ramen (located just over the Long Island City border in Astoria) is a gem for its rich,…read moresimmered-for-hours chicken paitan broths, perfect noodles, and vibrant black garlic oil. However, its tiny dining room often means long wait times and limited seating. The signature chicken paitan broth is slow-cooked for 8 hours to create a rich, creamy, and flavorful milky soup. Locals highly recommend the Kuro ramen (featuring rich black garlic oil) and the Deluxe ramen. They also serve a highly rated Veggie Miso. Appetizers shine here. The Garlic Edamame and Takoyaki are fan favorites, and the Chicken Karaage is a must-try. Authentic and cozy. The space is incredibly small with limited seating and does not offer outdoor dining. Expect long wait times for a table during peak dinner and weekend hours. This food place that offers delicious savory broth paired with springy, bouncy noodles is definitely worth a try.

Though according to my hubby, the pork buns were the star of this meal. Be sure to try them! Overall a wonderful experience and we'd come back should the opportunity present itself.

UPDATED (for 2 additional visits) - It is our fav ramen spot in LIC/Astoria!…read moreAmbiance (5/5): The establishment has a very sleek interior with an open, welcoming layout. Although close to other tables, when I dined there was no one nearby. There is also bar seating in the front. Service (5/5): I came on a weekend night at 7:30p and there was no wait. Tonkotsu ramen (5/5): Pro move: ask for the thicker noodles (pic is original dish of thin noodles) This was a superb bowl of ramen! The broth is very umami with tons of depth, flavors, and creaminess. Noodles are the straight kind which has a little less bounce than I usually like but still plenty portioned to enjoy. The bowl comes with a lovely half soft boiled egg. The two large pieces of pork char sui were great--tender and flavorful. Reasonably priced bowl at $18 with some additional toppings like wood ear mushrooms, bamboo, green onions, and narutomaki. Definitely coming back here again to try their other bowls!! Pork belly buns (5/5): If you are already getting the pork belly in the ramen, this can be skipped since it's the same meat. However, the sauce was good and the meat is tender. Crab croquette (4/5): It tasted fresh and consistency of a normal croquette-- crunchy on the outside with a softness from potato on the inside. The light panko seasoning was a nice touch. It also comes with a small side of salad. Wagyu (5/5) - thin pieces of wagyu were very fresh and flavorful. The broth feels very soothing and lighter as it was but not as rich as the tonkotsu. I loved the pickled cucumber and cabbage. The thick noodles are perfectly bouncy and chewy. Shoyu Duck (4/5) - Light broth as I did not taste the undertones of duck in the broth.

Cuisine: 8 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 6 Overall: 7 Ramen shops are everywhere in NYC nowadays. However, most of them are average at best. Looking for a quick bite last week in LIC right in the heart of court square, I found this little restaurant. Walking in, it's quite spacious and nicely decorated. Two of us were seated promptly and given menu and water immediately. After a quick look through, we settled on an appetizer to share and two ramen bowls. The Popcorn Shrimp was unfortunately not made very well. Many of the pieces of shrimps were stuck to each other's batter. It didn't taste horrible, just not preferable. On the other hand, the ramens were made extremely well. The Chicken Paitan Ramen has a savory but clean chicken broth that would be perfect when feeling under the weather. The chicken was super tender and the egg was delightfully yolky, while the chewy noodles were a great match for the dish. With that said, my favorite item of the evening had to be the Toriniku Ramen. It had a rich and deep pork flavor that completely elevates my senses to another level. The pork jowl was thick cut and very delicious. Last but not least, the straight firm thin noodles were the perfect accompaniment. I don't look for ramen as often as I use to any more due to the climbing cost of a bowl of these noodles, this place included. However, if I'm in the mood, and don't feel like trekking to Manhattan, then I may just very well end up here.

On a Saturday evening, we were able to get a table and it's a spacious but cozy dining room with lots of dark wood accents. It's a casual tavernesque spot and I think it's comfortable for families and friend groups alike, although I saw a few date nights happening around us. An all-around good vibe and expect swift and friendly service. They have one veggie option and normally that would be a little disappointing but when the one veggie option is THAT good, who cares? The broth is out of this world and there's generous amounts of bok choy, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, spinach vermicelli noodles and tofu. I added on a fire bomb because hot & spicy is life and I'll leave it at this: this is perfect giant bowl of ramen. Slurp, slurp away!
