    Miso
    Juan S.

    Went in on their soft opening. Service is still a bit slow but that's normal. Ordered the miso and tonkasu ramen. Miso was good. Not to salty. Meat was good. Noodles done right. Same with the tonkasu broth. Not too salty. Well made. Glad they are part of the hood! I love the Naruto and One Piece decorations and figurines. They get a recommendation.

    Me and partner needed some lunch and walked Aron's the neighborhood as we were indecisive. Decided to give Ku Ramen a try and loved it! We didn't expect the food to remind of us out neigborhood Chinese spot back in NYC and definitely said we would come back. I had the lychee ice tea and I don't think I would have that again left a weird after taste for me. We ate at the location and service was good but some mistake was made with serving but there was only one server. The place gets busy and have the option to sit down or take out here,. Like I said good spot and would come back!

    Who knew this was so close to home. It was a good experience. Chk teriyaki like I read in other reviews sauce is good. I like Panda Express better. Portions are good but still pricy. I would recommend still. Scallion pancakes was too oily I guess that's how they are.... I get kawan paratha from grocery store and they match a bit to it... other than oily They were ok not my fav. Miso Ramen had good flavors spicy side gave a kick. Presentation was good. I recommend to try and see it yourself. Lastly brown sugar milk tea was a disappointment it was watery and didn't like it. Overall was a good experience!!!!

    New ramen spot that just opened up. Everything is so clean. Not many bubble tea options in this area so happy that there is now a bubble tea place

    Black Garlic Ramen ($14.50) and Scallion Pancakes ($4.50)
    Matt C.

    Don't let looks fool you!! We stopped by at 9p on a Thursday night, and though there's not too much to say on ambiance (seems most like a takeout place for now), if you like One Piece or Naruto, it's definitely decked out. Note that though this markets as a ramen place, it's Chinese-run, and they do offer some other dishes. My wife and I ordered from a Kiosk (available in English or Chinese) to put our order through and pay. Note that their online menu differs a little from the kiosk - seems there's some extra items available with in-store ordering (but I'll explain in a bit) We ordered the Black Garlic Ramen ($14.50), a Szechuan-style beef dish (think it was around $15?), and some scallion pancakes Black Garlic Ramen - I know $14.50 might be steep, but it's GOOD. Ramen comes filled with nicely chewy ramen noodles, 2 (yes, 2) well marinated soft-boiled eggs, bamboo shoots, mushroom, fish cake, scallion, pickled ginger, and 3 (!!!) pieces of charsiu. The charsiu was on point, and this is coming from someone who's eaten A TON of ramen in NYC. The flavor and texture were different in that the pork was fall-apart (not completely though, so you can pick it up) and less tough than what I've been having lately. The broth also had really good garlic flavor. Scallion Pancakes ($4.50) - For the price, it's very good! 8 pieces of scallion pancake (looks like the pieces were about 3" long, for reference) that were very crunchy and flavored well. Szechuan Beef - This was also a favorite. The beef came out in a metal bowl with those heating cans underneath, and is served with well-cooked white rice. The flavor had numbing spice but was not overwhelming (I have normal spice tolerance), and comes served with onions, peppers, and zucchini. We brought some home and used the oil to stir fry more food, so it's a good sized portion! Will be back for some late night cravings!

    Peach ice tea

    Anime and Asian Food might be a dream come true in Jersey City. The One Piece Art is what attracted me. Top 2 best Anime ever. Not a fan of Asian flavors but I wont be bias ? & let my wife review with me. When you walk in you have enough seats to sit down and the server come take care of you. For appetizer we had the steam gyoza. I didn't like it but my wife enjoyed it with the sauce. My wife had the Miso Chicken ramen. She gave it an 8.7/10. The perfect spiciness in the broth, egg was super delicious and noodles was perfectly cooked. She didn't rlly like the chicken. I had the chicken teriyaki with rice. I didnt like the chicken teriyaki at all but enjoyed the sauce of it with my rice yum. Wife thinks chicken teriyaki is tender and juicy. She also loved the sauce. I had a peach ice tea which was delicious

    Kumamoto fries

    Paid 9.50 for an appetizer of fries before deciding if I wanted to get ramen. Absolutely worst appetizer. 1. There was no pork on them, 2. It took 15 minutes to get them 3. They were terrible! They tasted like frozen fries with some sweet and sour sauce that I could e made better at home!

    Beef skewer
    Marc d.

    I've been to several anime themed spots in Miami and Edison. So I was happy to see one in my backyard of Jersey City. Been to it twice and tried the Miso Ramen soup, spring roll and chicken skewer. And on my next trip I tried the Teriyaki chicken rice dish and beef skewer. Left both times satisfied. I'll try the bubble tea next time. Nice good spot in the Square. Love the One Piece anime theme.

    We had lunch special & good portion. Food was good. Street parking but from Path Journal Sq is about 10 mins walk.

Specialized ramen menu with appetizer options. Started off with marbled pork bun . It was decent but didn't care for the mayo. Then ordered the chasu ramen. The Chasu was decent as well, allot of fresh in-house noodles and light creamy broth. Restroom located even of corridor past kitchen. To add, this can be a year round ramen eatery because hot and cold ramen options.

    (Dined 07/17/23 MO @ 6:00pm): I missed me some ramen!…read more I wanted something I hadn't eaten yet on my recent trips to Jersey City, so my friend recommended Miso Ramen. She'd been there once before with friends and liked it, so she wanted to try it again. I loved ramen and it's been awhile since I had a big brothy bowl of this comfort dish, so I was excited to give them a shot. Would this ramen joint be a hit or miss for me!? PURCHASE Canada Dry Ginger Ale 16.9floz Bottle ($2.50): My friend opted for this settling drink which I also enjoyed especially on a flight. We both initially wanted some alcohol; unfortunately, they didn't sell any here. Ito En Golden Oolong Tea 11.5floz Can ($3.00): Another non-alcoholic drink that safely paired well with our food. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=U6jGurKaT1QUpkJN-aPhgQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw 6pc Scallion Pancake w/Oyster Sauce ($6.00): Large thick slices with a ton of scallions that looked like quesadillas, this simple dish was great with or without the oyster sauce. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=6UFfVPTcEYUhgttT0pP49g&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw 2pc Crispy Chicken Bun ($7.00): Fluffy absorbent buns filled with a scant amount of crunchy cabbage and mayonnaise with spicy sauce, the chicken had a nice crisp but I wished the sauce was spicier. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=P_nGwfAc_higAPonrdJaGQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw Mushroom Ramen ($15.50): A large bowl filled with chicken broth (that also contained tonkatsu sauce) with golden mushrooms, wild ear mushrooms, mushrooms, sesame seeds, bamboo shoots, scallions, black garlic oil, and a soft-boiled seasoned egg, the broth was creamy and thick, the noodles chewy and plentiful, and the various mushrooms was limitless. This was top-notch. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=4_S-RJkMw1mh9hqYwQt52A&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw Chashu Ramen ($15.50): A large bowl filled with pork broth, four medium slices of chashu pork, sesame seeds, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, scallions, black garlic oil, red ginger, and a soft-boiled seasoned egg, the broth had some creaminess and viscosity to it (I preferred that to being thin and watery), the chashu was flavorful and tender, and the rest of the ingredients were standard and complemented well. I wished there were more noodles. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=O2ELoqFLci4csRPQPiET_g&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw SERVICE We were greeted by a young host with menus in hand who also ended up being our server, so maybe they were short-staffed. As we looked over the menu, he provided glasses of water. Once we ordered, our drinks came out immediately while the rest of the food came out in perfect procession. He occasionally checked on us, refilled our water glasses, and settled our tab once we were done. All was chill and straightforward - arigato! PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance) My friend and I took the 20 minute walk from her place, so parking wasn't an issue for us. Otherwise, the business was located in a pedestrian-only section of Downtown Jersey City, so the only feasible parking I saw was either street parking away from the location, you rode a bike, took public transportation, or used some sort of driver service - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A clean spacious floorplan https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=8J1iJLYHUKpCYyrpMsQuqQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw with a modern Asian motif mixed with several chairs/tables throughout along with long counter seating. There were very minimal decorations with the exception of some foliage https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=dTiIRzbAvfuw8UtDuWNALw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw at the entrance. Plenty of natural lighting entered through the large glass windows while a ton of electric lights hung from the ceiling filled in the rest. There were no TVs while music played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=5vkXaIk6bON63OHcyB0Wzw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I was happy to finally have my first ramen experience in Jersey City at Miso Ramen and would consider another visit to try more of their menu. I wouldn't say their ramen was on-par with what I've had in Los Angeles and Japan, but it was good with nothing else to compare to in the area. The menu had enough options, the prices were comparable, we enjoyed the food, and the service was adequate. And, whenever possible I liked to support small family-owned and/or local businesses. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $53.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS
