Menya Ramen House caught my eye with pics of its clear broth, so i paid a visit for a quick lunch on a Sunday. It's a small restaurant located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. For lunch, I tried the shoyu ramen with a soft boiled egg and side of spicy oil. The broth was light and flavorful. The chashu was very tender and seared nicely. The shoyu came with straight noodles instead of wavy, but it was still good. The bowl had menma, as well as red and green onions. I enjoyed the bowl so much, we went back for dinner the same day. For dinner, I tried the shio ramen, which was basically the same thing, but with a sea salt tare instead of soy sauce. I also got wavy noodles this time and I definitely prefer the wavy noodles. Once again, it came with red and green onion, which i think is a bit overpowering. I would get just green onion next time. The family/couple sets seem to be a great deal. I would definitely return. read more

I've been to Menya a number of times and they are consistently high quality, fast, and a good value. My mouth is literally watering as I write at 5a. In fact, if they were open now I might grab some breakfast. They are located outside of the main downtown in the plaza with Greenway. That's a good thing as downtown can be a logistical nightmare to park and grab a quick bite. Menya has a small, comfortable seating area. The menu is simple with a few delicious broth bases and a wider variety of noodle, protein or veggie ingredients. Service is quick and friendly, and you'll wonder how you got that bowl full of goodness in your tummy so quickly! read more

Omg !!!! The pork kimchi Gyoza was to die for ! The ramen was soo good but I would enjoyed it better if it was mushrooms instead of the corn. The corn taste like it was straight off the cob without it being cooked. I will definitely get my shrimp instead. I got more pork belly & 2 eggs. It's a lunch special. The service was quick. read more

Very good ramen spot. I was surprised about how much protein was in my ramen. Typically it's thinly sliced, but not here! This spot is not that big, so during busy times you might find yourself waiting to be seated. I would definitely come back for more. read more

Came here for lunch with my husband on a Saturday and got seated right away. The restaurant is small with only a few tables, and the atmosphere is laid back and very casual, but the food is excellent. We got the Couple Set, where you pay $50 and get to pick three appetizers to share, and two entrees. It was very reasonable. We ordered the edamame, which had a unique seaweed seasoning on it that was very good, the kimchi gyoza that also had pork and was delicious, and the Chicken Karaage, (fried boneless chicken). For the entree, I had the Spicy Miso Tonkotsu which had pork and my husband had the Tonkotsu- we both liked our dishes very much. The service was quick and the prices were good, so if you are looking for a fast meal that is comforting and satisfying, try this place out. read more

Great location - it was in the same plaza as Kings grocery store so there was ample parking. Service was friendly. The actual ramen itself was okay, not the best I've had. I wish there was more broth & something tasted like it was missing something additional to make it a little better. The actual restaurant was very spacious & had ample seating. read more

Excellent value and food in a very nice, welcoming environment with great service. The atmosphere is very conducive to eating delicious, rich ramen and the menu has a lot of great options. Highly recommend this spot. read more

Food: 8/10 For the spicy miso broth, was really spicy and I think they really use a lot of chili oil for the spicy Ramen option, but the broth was pretty rich, and the chashu was well cooked. They have enough veggies and toppings, even without adding extra, but it's only one piece of Chashu. The karage and gyoza was also really nice appetizers had a great crunch to both of them and they fry it immediately after you order it. Atmosphere: 7/10 honestly, a bit cramped, if you are sitting in one of the tables it's so small that it's easy to drop silverware and stuff. Service: 8/10 Tips: it gets busy during lunchtime, it's a fairly recent addition to Ridgewood Roman shops read more

Once again, Menya Ramen in Ridgewood delivers a knockout with their Spicy Tonkatsu ramen. I ordered through Uber Eats, and it hit the spot like always. The quality of the ramen was amazing--every detail was on point. I requested the spice on the side, which allowed me to control the heat perfectly. The pork was tender, just the way I like it, and the flavors were incredible. This is my third time reviewing them, and I have to admit--I think I'm officially addicted. If you're a ramen lover, Menya Ramen is a must-try. Highly recommend! read more

Great ramen, casual atmosphere. Good for kids. Highlights are obviously the ramen and fried chicken wings. The ramen soup can be altered to your desired level of spiciness. I got level 2 and I was SWEATING. It was delicious but just beware they're not kidding about spicy. We'll definitely be back for dine in and take out. read more

Best ramen joint in the area. Friendly staffs. Clean cozy place. Highly recommended if you are craving for ramen.

It's really hard to find a good ramen in Bergen County --- for the most part, you have to take a drive down to Edgewater or Fort Lee to find an authentic bowl of ramen. Menya Ramen is an unassuming ramen shop in Ridgewood, and judging by the ratings both on Yelp & Google, I was intrigued because many reviewers stated their ramen was top-tier. The inside probably can fit 25-30pp total, it's not that big. The kitchen is open so you can see the chefs moving around and doing what they do best. There was one server; she was quiet, but very proficient at her duties as server. For the food: I got the lunch kit ($17), which included a choice of any of there ramens (excluding, I believe the Spicy Kaisen), plus 4 fried gyoza. My lunch kit included the Spicy Miso Tonkatsu Ramen (added an egg for $2) + 4 kimchi gyoza, and and order of the Fried Karaage ($8). First the Karaage: Delicious off the bat; plump, savory, seasoned pieces of popcorn chicken, topped with a seaweed sprinkle garnish + kewpie mayo. Was it the best karaage? No, but it was damn good karaage. Second, the lunch kit: The ramen, off the bat, looked pretty decent. It looked put together, cohesive, and the broth looked rich. All the flavors were amazing....my only complaint? The noodles, for me, were not the right consistency. They were too short, a bit too undercooked; I was looking for those long, chewy noodles...these weren't it. Besides the underwhelming noods - which were still good - , everything else was absolutely DELICIOUS. I would definitely come back again, and maybe if they're open to some of my criticism: possibly explore different ramen noodles for the best consistency. 4/5 read more

Always good. Service is exceptional. Ramen is consistently good. When we crave ramen this is where we go.

I didn't have much expectations when going to Menya Ramen but came out wanting to return once I left. We had the honey butter wings shishito pepper, gyoza and takoyaki as apps. They were very tasty. We also ordered from the couples menu which is very unique. This allows the couple to order their own main and each an app. I ordered the tonkotsu ramen which is served with garlic oil. It was amazing, how amazing? I ordered extra broth. It was goooiod. My wife got the spicy kaisen, she enjoyed it but don't think as much as I enjoyed my tonkotsu. Service was friendly and quick, come early as they get busy and packed. If you like ramen, you can't go wrong visiting Menya. Enjoy!!!!! read more

Nice ramen spot with good appetizer menu. Service was super quick and reasonably priced. Convenient parking. Only complaint is that the chairs are very hard. Maybe they do not want you to sit around too long so they can turn the tables over. read more

Perfect meal for a cold wintery night, or a savory yummy treat any day of the year. The Spirit Lifter Ramen bowl was true to its name. The vegan miso broth was flavorful. You can pick between spicy levels from 1 to 3. I asked for 2, but this resulted in a rather mild spicing. So, if you like a bit of a kick like me, you should ask for level 3. The owner was very welcoming and friendly. The dishes came out all together even though we were a party of 6. The ambience is not that of a tablecloth restaurant, but modern, clean, and minimalistic. It made for a pleasant dining experience. There are a few tables and they all filled up while we were there. I suspect it won't take to long for them to outgrow their breeches. This Ramen joint is recommended both for vegans, and non-vegans alike. read more

Ramen is terrific here. I'm spoiled living in NJ and working in NYC. So I've had great Ramen. This is the real deal without having to drive to palisades park or Fort Lee. Noodles are perfection. They get them from Sun. Broth is layered and so rich. Pork is done perfectly with the finishing of the blow torch. Spice is perfect. Your nose will be slightly running when you're done. The vegetables are added at the end so they remain so fresh and crunchy. I love the chefs understanding of why that important. Great people. Can't recommend enough as there is no good Ramen in the area. I get the spicy miso tonkatsu here. Again it's perfect you won't be disappointed. They get 4 star only because I expected amazing Fried Chocken as it's kind of a thing right now in the Asian food scene. It was overdone and dry unfortunately. However...their Ramen! read more

Fantastic ramen, excellent service and super relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommend this place!

Was so good! I got the miso ramen, pork was falling apart and amazing. Can't wait to come back! read more

Great spot for solid ramen! The tonkatsu was amazing. Friendly service, small spot so might be a wait but worth it! And they even have gluten free noodles read more

Solid option for a casual experience. Lighting very bright. "New car" feel. Open kitchen. Bathroom clean. Best ramen in Ridgewood. Broth game strong. Truffle Chicken . Also tried the Miso which was . Apps were all fried-not impressed-tasted the oil way more than I would have wanted to. BYOB. But again bright lights, and decor unimpressive-not conducive to optimal drinking ambiance. Polite staff. Good deal. $50 = 2 ramens + 3 apps. But again oily. Would def repeat with bridled expectations. Bc ramen is on point. BYOB. Good $$ deal. read more

Our whole family (especially our kids) really love that we have a ramen specialty shop in Ridgewood downtown, and really enjoyed the food and experience. The food was authentic and great, we ordered various ramen dishes as a family - Tonkatsu, Shoyu, Truffle Shio and Spicy Kaisen - and all were great in their own ways, with each of our family member preferring different ones. Staff is friendly and helpful too. The Takoyaki (octopus puff balls) was surprisingly really good as well, which wasn't expected at a ramen shop, which I would order again also. Definitely will be coming back more to enjoy some good ramen! read more

Great local ramen spot, reminded me of ramen spots I enjoyed back in the NYC and missed. Also they have a nice vegan ramen option, and a tasty chicken broth option as well. read more

We ordered takeout from Menya and to start, the turnaround was so quick!! For an order for 6 people, it was ready in 15 min. The food was very flavorful and offerings for the family and couple sets was more than enough food, and well worth it too! We'll also note that the Kaisen had a decent amount of seafood in proportion to the rest of the ingredients. They were very nice upon pick up and also gave us an extra dessert (we were so excited that they offered mochi from Mochidoki in NYC)! I highly recommend and will definitely return. read more

This place has just opened up and I cannot wait to try them again when they are more up to speed. Three stars only because they do not have their full menu yet, so I cannot grade them on everything. They have no appetizers as of yet. Will update once I go back. I had the truffle shio and it was good. Egg was a bit cold though. Added some chili crunch and it was another level. Definitely what you need on a cold rainy day. The place is really small and it's no thrills which doesn't matter if you focus on the food. The service was great and the owner is beyond polite. Staff seems to be just as polite. read more

The spicy kaisen is amazing! Better than 5 stars! It's the only thing we have tried and we keep going back for it! It's one of the best things I've ever eaten. If you try it I recommend getting the spicy sauce on the side so you can control the heat level. read more

Food and service were both amazing. We both got the Spicy Miso Tonkotsu ramen which had a super flavorful brother, great noodles to match, and perfectly charred chashu.

Very very good ramen! 1. Broth - not too salty, perfectly balanced and not too much oil. Their spicy broths are not over top hot, just right and really full of flavor. 2. Spicy Kaisen Ramen- excellent! One of the best seafood ramens I've had, and I've had many. It's definitely the only place I've been that's featured fresh whole scallops. One jumbo shrimp, deelish! A true delight! 3. Noodles - egg with excellent firmness, really would love to know how they're made. 4. Vegetables - overall good balance... they love red onion, maybe a bit too much but was a nice change up. Personally I'd prefer scallion. The marinated shitakes are in one word - phenomenal. 5. Chashu Pork - without a doubt the best you can find in this area of Ridgewood. Really nice hard sear, tender, and not too fatty. Get yourself an extra slice ! Owners are super nice and check in with each table. Hats off to these guys, they clearly know what they are doing and are now my favorite ramen house in this area. We'll be back! read more

Delicious, the food is amazing. The service is excellent. We order the spicy ramen, and is a little too spicy for us, but it was amazing. I recommend pouring more broth in the ramen read more

Crazy Good! Definitely the best in NJ and maybe in NY too. Authentic and beautifully balanced broth is to die for. I have been to way too many ramen places and Menya is my current favorite. Excellent service and top notch food. Forget Ippudo... Menya is on a different level. read more
