    Veggie Shoyu Ramen
    Jianna R.

    I enjoyed the veggie ramen here, the broth was flavorful and the toppings were fresh. The space was cozy and service was good. I would come back!

    Gyoza
    Nate L.

    TLDR: get the ramen and the gyudon ( beef bowl) but can avoid the gyoza. I have been coming here for my ramen fix since at least 2015. The flavors of the ramen broth are always spot on, noodles are always cooked perfectly and the chat siu (pork belly) always is a nice balance of meat and fat. The gyudon(beef bowl) is always packed with beef and flavor. Service is always great and you can tell all the customers are there to get a quick bowl of ramen and proceed with their day. It can get extremely busy during peak lunch hours. The only thing that's been consistently "bad" is the gyoza. Although they have undoubtedly perfected the outer shell and the cornstarch crisp, the filling is always extremely mushy. I am not sure why this may be the case but from a texture standpoint, it's no good for me.

    Karakuchi ramen

    A cute ramen chain, Menya is a small, homey restaurant that seats about 12 on tables and 4-6 at the sushi bar. Service is friendly and bathroom is relatively clean. There isn't anywhere to park besides an unmarked spot or two directly outside the restaurant though. We really enjoyed the gyoza, but the ramen (karakuchi and black) were about average. The prices are very affordable ($12-15 per bowl) and the portions filling, meaning it's an inexpensive way to have some ramen outside of the city. Overall, while I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here, I think I'd return to Menya if I were in the area.

    Tsukemen and Black Ramen
    Linda L.

    The best Tsukemen in NJ! It comes with lots of vegetables, meat, and a soft-boiled egg -- great value! The staff are always friendly, and I really love this restaurant. If you like Tsukemen, I highly recommend this place!

    Good hangover cure when you want some broth with noodles. Got a miso ramen which was tasty and it had a lot of vegetables in it. They give you a lot of noodles too. The service was great and the waiter was attentive. They also have combo options where you can pick a ramen with a side such as gyozas. Recommend if you want to enjoy a simple Japanese ramen!

    Came here for lunch and ordered the Tsukemen, which is the dipping noodles with a bowl of smoky seafood flavor tonkotus broth with side of thick noodles, topped with scallions, spinach, marinated egg, & grilled pork belly. Loved the dipping sauce, pretty flavorful. I also got to try out another ramen in broth (forgot the name) and the broth was flavorful and natural. I liked it The ambiance was enjoyable and well decorated. Space might be a bit limited. I guess to 5-6 tables and additional seating by the prep station I would come back again to this place in the future to explore more its menu

    Tonkotsu Ramen
    Jessica N.

    My large group of 9-10 people came spontaneously to this place on a week day evening. They were so accommodating and prepared a side room for us to be at. I got the tonkotsu broth was rich but not too thick, not the creamy type but still very flavorful. I was impressed by the house made noodles! It has great chewy, and not soggy. The char on the pork belly was quite fresh and aromatic. The portion is great, especially for the price. It's a great value! Definitely would come back again.

    This restaurant is underrated; im a big fan of ramen. I have been trying ramen in many different places and so far this place making the best ramen. Service is friendly and attentive. I have no complaints but just that long drive from NY to come here. Please come to NYC.

    Andrew C.

    I had a great experience at this place! Looked like it had some awesome reviews and a good menu. I love ramen so it was the perfect spot. I got some pretty tasty ramen. Decent noodles and delicious egg. I wasn't too big of a fan of all the veggies and found them to be overwhelming, but if you like veggies and a nice crunch this is the spot. The beef bowl and gyoza were also very tasty and done well. I didn't wait long and we got a nice seat. The place was comfortable and warm. Definitely a solid ramen spot! I would definitely recommend this place. In a nice area and friendly staff!

    Tonkotsu Ramen
    Vincent F.

    Came around 7PM and the restaurant was very quaint and small. Menu was very small which is what I like in ramen shops. I ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen and Gyoza. Tonkotsu ramen broth was very rich and flavorful. Served with chasu pork, mung bean sprouts, scallions, soft boiled egg, and spinach. Gyoza were pan-fried pretty well. Overall, it was a cozy and quaint place to eat. Experience was okay and not bad.

    We dropped by on a rather busy night. It was my first time trying this chain, and it definitely delivered. This Menya is a little small ramen join, so we had to wait a bit for a table for our party of 4. The staff was super nice and provided us with water and hot tea upon our request for both. We ordered the popular gyoza, some tonkotsu ramen, miso ramen, and black ramen. The gyoza had a nice crisp, and the black ramen I ordered for myself was very good. I liked how they added baby spinach to my black ramen. The table next to us had a baby, and apparently there is a hidden kids menu if you have a child in your party. Portions were quite filling. Although the miso ramen seemed more filled to the brim than the others, each ramen filled us up. A great place for a great ramen!

    Tonkotsu Ramen
    Nehal A.

    A decent ramen place. The restaurant is pretty small, so feels somewhat cramped inside. Parking is available in the back. Menu consists mostly Pork broth based Ramen. Few vegetarian options available as well. They also have some side dishes like Gyoza and rice bowls with beef or pork. The shrimp is my Shoyu Ramen was blend, no real flavor. The broth was also okay, the bamboo shoots or marinated egg didn't really enhance the dish, they were also average. I have had better ones in other places. I liked the noodles in the ramen though. Food taste - 3/5 Food prep time - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Price - $$

    SHOYU RAMEN, YASAI-ITAME, gyoza
    Aizabil A.

    This ramen spot was everything I wanted and more. seating area is limited, but cozy. Fast service. The menu has 8 ramen options and 3 sides. Japanese soda. Let me just say, some of the best ramen I've had in a long time. I ordered the SHOYU RAMEN added shrimp, AMAZING!! My friend ordered YASAI-ITAME, also amazing !!! Also pleaseeee do yourself a favor and order the GYOZA. Out of this world, I ordered 3 to go after trying. Will definitely be coming back.

I got the yubu unagi and my friend got the yubu ikura. Both were really good, the rice used was very flavorful. It was a great appetizer. My friend loves fish roe and she said hers was very good. They are known for dipping ramen, but I didn't get that. I got the tonkotsu broth Ajitama because I didn't want that much meat and I wanted to make sure I got an egg. The broth was delicious, not too salty but very rich and umami in flavor. I love the addition of wood ear mushroom and the noodles had a great chewy texture. They have some claw machines in the front, it's $5 minimum spend which gets you 5 coins, each machine is one coin and there is one machine that gives you two tries for one coin. I ended up getting a prize! Not the one I wanted but was happy.

I would definitely come back again to try their spicy tonkotsu ramen!

I ordered the Unagi Don Gozen ($42)- it came with a whole tray of different delicious items, with the star of the show being a generous amount of unagi (eel) over rice. The eel was cooked very well and the rice was flavorful with a bit of sweetness. There was also a small bowl of udon noodles, some sashimi, a crispy tempura shrimp in a yummy creamy sauce, flavorful edamame, mashed potato with corn, and some pickled veggies - quite the diverse array, all of which was tasty. The restaurant itself has a rather simple yet elegant Japanese wooden design. The prices suggest it's a more high end place, but the vibe is actually rather casual. The staff are very attentive and the service speed is pretty quick. Overall, I would definitely give Moru 4.5 stars if I could. I think it's great for most types of occasions, and the only reasons it's not getting 5 stars is because I do think the prices are a tad higher than I would've hoped and I think they could've done a bit more in terms of designing the place to match the price point. That being said, I still highly recommend Moru, especially for a nice lunch.

Herbal chicken soup - fantastic (10 stars as a soup lover it was delicious and hearty) General Tso's - more on the sweet than spicy side which is my preference but may not be everyone's (very crispy and good in my opinion if you value texture over spice it was great -4/5 stars) Beef with scallion - my fam loves scallions so it was absolutely delish, and I tried some and thought so too! (5/5 stars) Eggplant in garlic sauce - delicious, was cooked very well, a perfect balance of spices and texture.

I think the service was very good, they were very kind, very attentive, now that could be because we ordered half the menu idk - but *I*** think it's SUCH a great place where you really get a bang for your buck. I also want to say the portion sizes are LARGE we definitely ended up taking things to go just because we didn't expect to order so much and for the portions to be so large. I think I may have forgotten another dish or two but overall the food is really really good. Only qualm really was just the size of the restaurant (which they can't really help) wasn't too big. The ambiance was very nice - though I think my party was unfortunately a bit more boisterous than the rest of the people around, it's family friendly so any one of all ages can come and enjoy something. Saw plenty of parents with strollers, elderly people, and everyone in between like my group. It's pretty good vibes. Big portions, great food, good people, good vibes! I have to come back here sometime! I usually go to Fort Lee for Korean food but I think I've found a new place to hit up when I'm in town. Lovely lovely place!
