Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen + Sapporo Miso Ramen
Eric H.

Late night in SoHo... when most people are sleeping, I'm out here making serious ramen decisions Walked into Kyuramen and got seated faster than I can decide what to watch on Netflix. Food came out quick too -- always a good sign when you're hungry enough to consider eating the menu. First up: the Yinyang Bowl. Two ramens. One bowl. Tonkotsu Shoyu + Sapporo Miso... basically the ramen version of having your cake and eating it too. Loaded with braised pork, chashu, shrimp tempura, marinated egg, bamboo shoots, corn, zucchini, scallions... this bowl had more going on than my group chat. Pro tip: get it mild/spicy. That little kick? Home run. No notes. Then came the Omurice... cooked perfectly. Fluffy eggs, rich flavor, and honestly you can't lose with either curry or demi glaze. I sat there like... "I came for ramen... now I'm emotionally attached to eggs." Atmosphere was great too -- cozy, warm, and perfect for late-night food missions. Quiet enough to relax... but lively enough to remind you you're in SoHo. Late night ramen hits different. And Kyuramen? Definitely worth losing sleep over.

I am very pleased to see a ramen spot open past 11PM! My service dog was welcome and it closes at 1am. Big shout out to Lu our server! Clean, cozy and very quick service. This place is super cute and super efficient. Nothing better than a weekend place that makes sure to get people in and out. I already love this brand of ramen but this spot in particular is nice because of the location. Lively people and amazing options all around. The food is spot on! Cooked to perfection. I love that the staff made exceptions to specific things we wanted in our ramen. I also loved that each table had an outlet because you never know when you're in need of a charger. This might be my favorite location now.

6. Kyushu Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen

Great service and good ramen :) Friendly staff and the ramen was amazing! We will come back for more

The new veggie 'men
Akiko I.

I get that they are a high volume spot. But they need to clean their plastic tabletop signage more regularly: There was alot of crud at the base of the advertisement about their ramen bowl contest. (Winners happen several times a week I was told by a server but do the math: The odds come down to a 1 percent chance of winning anything.) Yum-wise I'd appreciate an expansion of the vegetarian offerings. We are in the East Village for heaven's sakes! The skewers are kewl but my Japanese parents would *NOT* be cool with all the sauce and oil all over the handles-- this is where Kyu belies their Chinese ownership (why not just stir-fry?) No criticism in the servers. They are perfection.

8. Vegetarian Ramen
Chandni D.

I got the vegetable miso ramen (vegetarian) and it was just ok. Not the most flavorful broth but the quantity was pretty generous! Overall, as a vegetarian, I'd probably pass on this place.

Creamy udon
Juliette S.

Live the creamy udon with shrimp tempura. Very quick service. Delicious! Chill atmosphere.

Curry Omurice (so good!)
Renata G.

I was craving omurice and saw Kuyramen had it on the menu so I headed there for early lunch. No wait and half empty restaurant, it was great. I was seated at the counter and given two menus - one for food, another for drinks. The server lacked interest in his job and overall courtesy skills. He kept grabbing things from under my hands and I felt rushed. Omurice was only offered as a combo with a drink. You can't order it on its own so I had to get a lemonade with my order which was too sweet and didn't even go with the omurice dish.. Weird!! I chose the plain omurice with curry. You can also get it with pork tonkatsu on top and with a Demi glace sauce instead of curry. The curry sauce was delicious and a little spicy kick. Overall very filling and tasty. I'm glad I didn't get pork..it would have been too much food for me.

Entry
Hank C.

Smaller version of the one we went to in Wichita, and at lunch they don't have the same lunch special as the one in Wichita, unfortunately. (for the price of a ramen in Wichita, you get ramen + small app + thai iced tea). The menu otherwise is mostly the same here, a small wall with drawings on the little bamboo hanging tokens, and egg surcharges as a note on the entry due to the cost of eggs.

Food was mid but 18% tip?!!! The ramen came out after like 6 min, it was definitely pre prepared like all restaurants. The udon was in a cool looking pot but it wasn't super fantastic either. The chicken wings were as expected of regular chicken wings, it's hard to get chicken wings wrong. Plus the wings were so so small like only 2 bites! 4 super small wings for $9! This is probably a direction all of Manhattan and NYC is heading, but damn our order of $60 was required $11 in tips and $5 in taxes!!

thai iced tea
Pitcha S.

Ate in 2024: This was my second time having Japanese ramen and I don't know if I just haven't found a good ramen place yet or if I just don't like ramen. The ramen I've had so far just has one flavor: saltiness. Maybe I'm more used to eating southeast asian noodle dishes but I kind of wished that there was more of a flavor profile to ramen because all I remember from kyuramen is that their ramen tasted salty. Like yeah, there was a bit of spiciness to it but that didn't really enhance the flavor profile. Even my friend who went with me thought the ramen was mid. However, the appetizers we got were pretty yummy! We got their gyoza, spring rolls, and takoyaki and I have no complaints for those dishes. The thai iced tea didn't taste authentic so that was a letdown. Would I come here again? Maybe. My friends have said positive things about their omurice and I would love to try that.

Pork Tonkatsu
Cathy V.

First time here and can definitely say it won't be my last. Staff is super friendly. Service is excellent. Ordered the braised pork don and pork tonkotsu. Pork don had a nice kick to it. Bold flavors. Feeling warm and cozy in every bite. Ramen craving fulfilled.

View from inside the booth!!
Stephanie S.

Delicious! They even have a button for service and everything arrived so fast! Such a cute dining experience we were tucked away in our own private booth. Definitely will be coming back here. I got the classic tonkatsu ramen, popcorn chicken, dumplings, and edamame.

Bar area
Anthony O.

Great yummy ramen noodle. The tonkotsu ramen with black garlic is a must try. They are very understanding and service was very quick. Great casual ambiance and clean.

See all

Reviews are largely positive. Many highlight the flavorful ramen, fast and friendly service, and cozy and clean atmosphere, along with wide menu options.

Ask the Community - Kyuramen - Union Square

Is this a Japanese owned or Korean owned restaurant? As the dishes I see are not traditional Japanese methods of preparations.

Well, let's put it this way - their franchising location is in Flushing/College point within T-Baar's offices (a bubble tea chain). They are Chinese franchisees off a Taiwanese noodle chain.

Are they able to set tables larger then 4 people?

Yeah is 1) you seat yourselves at the long side of the bar or 2) you go when it's less busy. I can't imagine them turning anyone away.

Is this place halal?

Let's see...they put pork in their ramen noodles, serves sake and are not on Zabidah. Gonna take a stab in the dark and say....no.

Is this place byob?

No, they have an alcohol menu (including sake)
