Come here occasionally and this place never disappoints. My usual is the tonkotsu Ramen. Their hand made noodles... made perfectly and the pork broth, bursting with layers of flavor. This location also serves bao buns (the main reason I come to this location most). All of their three options are great but I LOVE their fried chicken buns with their house made spicy sauce! There is about 10 tables with bar seating as well. Depending on the day and time you come, you might have to wait a few minutes but it's worth the wait. Service is always friendly and the restaurant is located in a plaza so there is plenty of parking. read more

I used to go to the other location more in Fort Lee but lately I've been visiting this more recent offshoot by Bergen Blvd. It's generally less crowded than the original location and the service here is good. The owner or manager was also very kind and gave some free stuff for my kids. All in all it was what you'd expect from Menya - very good ramen that always hits in the right ways, especially on those cold days or nights when you've got a serious noodle craving. Their ramen is great and their gyoza is also top notch. The shoyu ramen here is right on point and is my favorite of the bunch. It's also got easy access to parking which is also an other plus as well. You can't go wrong if you want ramen in the area and come to this particular location. read more

Menya Sandaime - Ramen Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

We were searching for a ramen place while in Fort Lee and came across Menya. We were not disappointed. The ramen was delicious but it is pretty spicy which we were happy about. The gyoza came out crispier than I've had or seen in the past but it was still delicious. The service was great and attentive. I will be back! read more

Food is very good, however service not. Came on a Friday night and the place was managed by 2 college students. They forgot parts of my order and just shrugged it off. The only redeeming quality is the food is good, however not good enough for me to come back for the service. Cheers and hope for a brighter future for this place. read more

I would have given 4 stars because they've been pretty tasty in the past but damn today left a bad taste in my mouth. I walked in 12:35, ordered a vegetarian ramen, and the noodles came my way at 12:50. I understand food takes time to cook but I've seen with my eyes the server taking order stubs from Uber Eats/Grub Hub and handing them off to the chef AFTER my order went in, and half those same orders be prepared and packed first. If time wasn't a social construct and I didn't have places to be, fine I'd have no worry in the world at all. But I had 5 min left by the time I went out the door to get back to school so for this I'll be removing a star. Secondly, not sure why this purely vegetable dish cost more than a bowl of pork ramen. If it were to be prepared and packed with an abundant array of vegetables, I would've accepted it but all I had was a handful of sprouts mixed in with cabbage. An extra egg would have been nice, as there was no protein in this dish. Server is a good singer I guess he can have that. I'm annoyed and probably won't be back. read more

Menya Sandaime - Veggie Miso Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

I absolutely love this place for ramen, it's literally elite and the pork is always cooked to perfection. I've ordered and gotten pick up many times, never disappointed. The only thing is, I recommend only sticking to their ramen. I did order their fried chicken strips from here before & it was very very raw. They did provide me with a refund for half of my order (not just the chicken) so I appreciated that and taking it seriously. I know that may turn people off, but even after the incident, I continued to get their ramen and again, on point! read more

Nice small place. Has a few tables. The store was ever cool. There is a parking lot . This is not fast food. They prepare everything fresh. It comes out appetizing and additive. Lovely place to go alone or small group read more

Menya Sandaime is definitely one of my favorite ramen spots as of recently. Service and food are very consistent here. They'll do their best to seat you as quickly as possible despite how busy it sometimes get. They have counter seating and a few tables. As of last time I was in they also still have dividers up between the tables for Covid purposes but also makes it a more private dining experience which I kind of like! The ramen is just really good. Perfect umami levels, topping always compliment the broth and noodles nicely. The noodles are always cooked perfectly, not too underdone or soft and chewy. They have some good options and they are always open to adding and removing things as you please. The karaage chicken is also not be to missed! This chicken is juicy, crispy, and so flavorful. Huge portion size too. Food always is ready quickly but you don't feel rushed. This location also has a parking lot and is BYOB. Would recommend for consistently good ramen! read more

Menya Sandaime - Karage is amazing! Definitely get it!! - Ramen Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

With the cold weather, nothing is better than some hearty ramen. We decided that we wanted ramen for dinner and trusted good ol' Yelp and some awesome reviews and went to Menya Sandaime. We arrived and there was no wait and was seated immediately. The dining room is small and definitely had that ramen restaurant in Japan aesthetic. We were provided menus and now comes the hard part of deciding which one to order because they all sounded delicious! Plus they had the buns-- fried chicken, pork belly, and shrimp tempura--and they all sounded great as well. And yes we ordered all 3 buns and there was absolutely no regrets! All 3 buns were delish! I had the pork belly bun and the pork belly just literally melted in your mouth--that is how tender the meat was. The bun itself was steamed and very fluffy and accompanied the pork belly well. Each bun was topped with a little spicy Mayo. Our order altogether was brought out fairly quickly. We had ordered a different ramen and we all enjoyed the one we ordered. We ordered the karakuchi ramen, miso ramen, and tonkotsu ramen. We ate our ramen in silence. And you know when you no one speaks...the ramen was speaking for itself! It was delicious! The broth was creamy and with the noodles and pork belly...to die for!! We all were left with empty bowls and full stomachs! Overall we had a wonderful dinner! Service was quick and we received our order within 10 minutes of ordering...and you can't beat that! The waiters were all friendly and very helpful. There is plenty of parking out front. For my #ThankYouThursday2021 it goes to Menya Sandaime in Palisades Park. Thank you for the delicious dinner and I think I have found my new favorite ramen spot! I will definitely be back! read more

Average ramen and on the pricey side for what you get. We tried the tonkotsu ramen: flavor was bland, noodles were too cooked for my taste, and all you got was pretty much an egg and some bean sprouts. We also tried the bao buns- pork belly, fried shrimp, fried chicken and fried tofu. The pork belly was the best one and the worst one was the fried tofu which had no taste. read more

Had always wanted to try the ramen place and I was so glad to learn that a second location was opened recently in Fort Lee. Free parking lot in front. Restaurant is small like most other ramen places but luckily it wasn't busy when we were there for Sunday brunch. Prices were so much better than those in NYC! We opted for Tonkotsu ramen ($9.5!!), Karakuchi ramen (spicy version of Tonkotsu ramen), Black ramen and Shoyu ramen all for $10.5 each. Soup was very flavorful and wasn't greasy. Noodles were chewy which we loved. Read that all noodles were made fresh in the restaurant (at the original location). Each bowl came with three huge char siu pieces. The fried gyoza and pork belly buns were equally amazing. Service was quick and attentive. All the food actually came out pretty quickly at the same time. As we were walking out, the staff asked if it was our first time there. She then gave us a towel with the logo of the restaurant as souvenir. What a great hospitality. Thank you! The ramen was definitely one of the best ones we had and we have been to many places. It's now our favorite ramen place in the hood! read more

We highly recommend this ramen place and please try also the pork steamed buns and the karaage and all the ramen is all good read more

Menya Sandaime - Truffle Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

Slightly better than the original location. Broth is also bland here - just doesn't have the potency that ramen broth needs to have. Coupled with the fact that the veggies are always way overboard, it just doesn't do it for me here. It's more like hot pot / Shabu Shabu rather than ramen. The noodles are pretty good though, so that's a bump up. The pork was also cooked well but it was on the more bitter side... I had higher hopes because a few people had recommended I give it a try as they found it better than the original. It is indeed better but still same playing field. The service was super speedy like the other location, rushing you out. And though the parking situation is better, getting in/out can be a pain depending on the busyness of Bergen Blvd, the major road. read more

Menya Sandaime - Ramen Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

This is the a ramen chain from Korea. They offer flavorful Japanese ramen, probably they best in NJ. I use to frequent their first US location in Fort Lee on Parker Ave but they have since expanded to 3 more locations and this one is probably the newest. The restaurant is very small and intimate. They set up dividers between tables to prevent the spread of COVID. The staff is always friendly. My go to is their tonkotsu ramen with gyoza. The broth always has depth of flavor. They also offer seasonal items, I think currently they are offer two dripping noodles (tsukemen) for the summer. read more

My best friends and I love it here!!:) Everyone's been super nice and food tastes great! Cin is such a creative menu developer and Chef, coming up with a special Truffle Ramen during the winter time. It was DELICIOUS!!! They've got a lot more up their sleeve at this location and I can't wait to see what else they'll be coming up with! My best friend likes that she can request to have certain ingredients omitted (Ie. No eggs, no bean sprouts etc.)., and we like that there's options of trying out some Japanese beverages! read more

Everything was so delicious! I would highly recommend. Specifically this location offers these sides, I have yet to order from another location because of it. The fried chicken is so good! I don't know how they get the chicken to be that juicy and tender. I do wish there was a different dipping sauce though, I think right now they're serving spicy mayo. The pork bun was also really good. Pork was not dry at all, which is my complaint at most places. I really wish they offered desserts! I would give them a five but I really had a hard time understanding the person taking my order over the phone. Even when I got there and spoke to them in person, they just did not seem like they wanted to be there. read more

Great spot in NJ for ramen. We got the karaage bun and the pork belly bun for appetizer and both were well seasoned and tasted like they knew what to do. I especially like the sauce that came with them. I ordered the tonkatsu ramen and the spicy ramen and both were amazing. The broth was creamy, the ramen noodles had a nice chew to them and the chashu slices were, Oh, so tender! Wished they had kadanma "extra serving of noodles" on the menu as the broth was too good leave unused. Ps very friendly servers and they made our experience better than the ramen already was read more

Menya Sandaime - Ramen Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

We decided to give this place a shot while around the neighborhood. Ordered the karakuchi ramen and karaage. The portion is good. For me honestly the ramen is enough I don't need appetizers. The broth is not overwhelming spicy but not so spicy either. It tastes ok but not like I will go back. The size of the karaage is so big, it's more like a fried chicken instead of the nuggets. Therefore it tastes more meaty and oily. Wouldn't think it will be a good combination with ramen. read more

Menya Sandaime - Big chunk of the karaage - Ramen Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

A cute, small spot packing lots of flavor in their ramen. We came as a group of 4 and were able to sit right down. Its casual, and well set up with tables and an open view kitchen. We orderred pork, chicken, and shrimp buns for appetizers, however, they came out at the same time as our meal so we just ate them all together. The buns were really yummy; the pork was tender & came with a tasty sauce. The shrimp and chicken were fried well and very flavorful, too. As for the ramen, we all thoroughly enjoyed our bowls. The Tonkotsu and Karakuchi (spicy) broth had a rich flavor, that was delicious to sip on. The ramen noodles were cooked perfectly, and the accompaniments were delicious. It came with bean sprouts, a marinated egg, pork chashu, and we added bamboo shoots. As a suprise, they gave us a bubble tea ice cream bar at the end of our meal, too. Prices were more than reasonable. I would definitely go back! read more

still my favorite ramen spot in nj after all these years... most melty charred pork belly i've ever had. friendly customer service and quite a nice ambiance. read more

Tried different versions of the broth here and honestly just so so. The tonkotsu base just didn't have the intensity or smoothness that I was looking for. If I have to pick a favorite, it would probably be the black, which has some bonito broth mixed in with the tonkotsu base. Couldn't really taste the pork, but the bonito came through pretty well. On the up side, the donburi game and karaage (fried chicken) at this place are actually pretty decent. The teriyaki chicken don was loaded with really tender chicken chunks and the sauce was not overly sweet. I could actually see the cook in the kitchen stir frying the chicken with really high heat. The flavor and texture came through really well because of that intense heat. Fried chicken was served with perfectly crispy breading without making it too dense. Price point was pretty decent considering the portion size was pretty good. May come back for the donburi again if I'm in the mood. read more

Classic Japanese ramen shop. Always a good comfort food place. I'm really glad that one opened up so close to home. All the comfort foods seem to be located in that area, Wendy's, Dunkin', 7/11, and now Menya. Quality seems to be solid and food seems to be delicious. Got the chushu don cuz it was literally 100 degrees outside and too hot to eat ramen. But will be coming back so no worries!! read more

This new spot opened and we had to try it! Brought the family! We got the Tonkotsu ramen, Black ramen, gyoza and 2 pork buns. All delicious. The pork buns are new to the menu. If ordering gyoza, I recommend ordering it as you get seated. It takes a while to make! And we want to eat it before the ramen comes out. If you order it along with your ramen, you will most likely get the gyoza last and might be too full! We have gone to the other location in fort lee many times and the food is just as great and looks very similar. Best Ramen!! read more

Love this place! It's so delicious! I was sad they closed the Parker ave location so I checked this location out and it's just as good. I loved the spicy ramen and their gyoza is amazing. I finally tried the fried chicken and a small portion for $8 is more than enough for two people to share! The service is really good and they do a good job of putting dividers up for the pandemic! I will definitely be visiting again as this is one of the best ramen spots around! read more

Shoyu ramen: the broth & noodles, pork, everything was delicious. There's a toastiness that was great. Karaage chicken: light & crispy. The pieces are a bit big & it's quite hot so to bite it into smaller pieces is a little scary. I asked for scissors. Maybe a side of lemon to lift it. But good overall Gyoza: nice & crispy served with soy sauce. Overall we would come back for the ramen for sure! So yummy read more

This is the first time I have visited Menya at this location. We ordered the black, miso and karakuchi ramens with the gyoza appetizer. The gyoza is very tasty and crispy with a delicious dipping sauce to pair with! Black ramen broth is hearty and filling. The pork chashu in each dish was juicy and flavorful. The eggs were cooked perfectly. Overall, I would visit again though I thought the noodles could be better. Though it will not deter me from ordering the same dishes. There is a parking lot outside.
