    Solid place for ramen! They have a huge, open space with lots of seating. You order at the counter and then pick up your food when they call your number. Although it's self-serve, the restaurant still has an elegant feel to it. Shrimp tempura ramen and tonkotsu ramen were both delicious. The broth was very flavorful, and the noodle texture was amazing. It was filling, but I would have liked it to have bigger portions considering the price.

    Very satisfying ramen made using store-made noodles. Cost-wise Menya Sandaime is pretty expensive, but it is definitely worth at least one visit. Location: Located across the street from Newport Center and minutes away from the Newport Path station, Menya Sandaime is centrally located and easy to access for people living in Jersey City or Newport. Food: I order the Tonkotsu ramen - the Tonkotsu ramen came in a large bowl and contained the ramen, broth, a few pieces of chashu pork, the boiled egg and several pieces of spinach. Although not a traditional ramen ingredient, the spinach added a lot of color to the ramen and much-needed vegetables to the dish. The tonkotsu ramen broth and noodles were both very satisfying. Overall, I thought the tonkotsu ramen was definitely better than what I would expect for a small, local ramen store, and it definitely rivals the flavors I have tasted at larger name brands, like Ippudo. Service: The service was good enough in my book, especially for a ramen restaurant. Cost: The ramen and a bottle of green tea came to around $20. Because of this, I must admit that Menya Sandaime is a little steep for your dollar. Verdict: Worth a visit for the ramen made with store-made noodles.

    I think this is definitely more of a lunch place because when I came for a weekday dinner, there was essentially no one there. I was kind of weirded out on how dirty the place was but never mind that. Essentially you order at the counter and then they'll call your number out and you get the ramen yourself. - Tonkotsu Ramen - Honestly, very disappointing ramen. The broth was very heavy and dense and the noodles seemed like they were out of a ramen packet that you can buy from an Asian supermarket. I did appreciate the thick cut pork belly slices but they were also kind of heavy as well. I was confused about the vegetables they put on top as they seemed kind of like a salad for the ramen. - Gyoza - But why was this the best thing there? I haven't had gyoza for awhile, so I decided to order it and it was honestly so good. The crispy and oily dough that barely touches the grill is my favorite. The filling was incredibly juicy and when you bit into it, it's like drinking soup. If I had to come back, maybe I would just order gyoza haha. - Karage - Their karage is pretty dang good. They give you a ton of pieces in each order (if you order large) and the outside is very crispy while the inside of the chicken is very tender. I like when you can "peel" the chicken bit by bit and you can do just that with this karage. Not quite sure about the cabbage they had on the side that wasn't pickled, but overall very good dish. Overall, it's a very okay ramen place - good for a quick lunch, not great if you're trying to indulge for dinner. Would come back for the gyoza but the ramen is quite atypical.

    This is the WORST ramen I ever had!! Never saw anywhere else put carrots in miso ramen, baboon shoots taste very weird, worst thing is, this is not the right type of ramen for miso ramen. Plz do NOT go, waste of your money and your time!!

    This place is a lot better for dine in than takeout. However, the prices are Manhattan prices and the food is just ok so no wonder this place is always empty. They do have very nice workers but the quality in food is just lacking for how over priced it is.

    Went for Lunch Food - 5/5. Ramen noodles had wonderful texture with just the right amount of springiness in every bite. Broth was rich in pork flavor yet very light with a thin consistency. Vegetables added a refreshing freshness and the pork was meaty with fantastic charring. Bun was soft with the same delicious pork that was in the ramen. The meat to bun ratio was great and the sauce added a nice kick to liven up the taste. Service - 4/5. Friendly and quick. Value - 5/5. The ramen's portion is great and comes with two fat slabs of pork. Buns were of good size as well. Prices are very fair with the basic tonkotsu being $11.50 and buns being $4 a piece. Parking - Street (Metered)

    Holy Ramen deliciousness! I really didn't expect much and was pleasantly surprised. Walk up to the counter and place your order then sit and wait about 10 minutes for your order number to be called, then walk back up to the counter and retrieve your giant bowl of deliciousness! I ordered the Veggie Miso Ramen (one of the three vegetarian selections). I also requested for them to make it spicy. When I walked back to the counter after hearing my order number shouted out I was surprised to see it sitting on a tray in an authentic ceramic ramen bowl and not a plastic container. The first thing that hit me as I sunk my chopsticks to the bottom of the bowl to fish out some noodles was the amazing aroma which was a real treat on a bitter cold day. The noodles were done perfectly, slightly chewy and delicious. Next, I scooped up some broth in the black plastic ladle that was resting in my bowl and took a sip. I was immediately hooked! I tasted such a great variety of flavors...sesame, miso, cabbage, onions...amazing. The soup also contained a lot of veggies that were still crisp. All this for $13. My friend ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen which was a traditional pork broth with pork belly. He said it was one of the best he's had. It seems we have a long winter ahead and with a 10 minute brisk walk from my office I have a feeling I will be coming back often. If only it was easier to remember the name of this place :)

    I had take out here recently with a few family members that visited. I usually like noodles that are made in house but this one in particular does not give that nice chewy and bouncy texture that you would expect from ramen. This noodle resembles more like somen noodles. The broth was decent, not bad but not worth bragging about either. The pork slices are really good. I would most likely not visit this place again as there are many ramen shops within short driving distance that offers better ramen.

    Not far away from Newark Ave's dueling ramen spots (Miso Ramen and Ani Ramen), Menya Sandaime offers up counter service bowls of noodles and rice dishes. I walked in on a Friday evening and nabbed a bowl of karakuchi (spicy pork broth), an order of gyoza, and some green tea. The food was prepped quickly and came out steaming hot. The gyoza had a nicely crisp crust, but the filling could've used more assertive seasoning. The same held true of the ramen: while the noodles were fantastic and the ingredients were well prepared (this bowl came with spinach, sprouts, a marinated egg, and a thick strip of grilled pork belly)...the broth had little flavour. Splashing on some sesame oil helped, though.

    Finally tried this place today, ordered numbe 1 tonkotsu ramen. Not the best ramen I had, but it's good. I love the noodle, I think they make their own noodle, you could see the machine on the right hand side when you walked in. Ramen came with 3 thick slice of pork belly, and raw spinach, and scallion. Both broth and the pork belly need more seasoning in my opinion, need to be improve I love the how spacious this place is, and how it's self served, it's great place to have easy and quick lunch.

    I really like their thick noodles! I ordered it as a delivery and their packaging was done property so that noodles stayed fresh. Their shoyu broth was a little too on the sweet side but overall pretty good. I would order again!

    Shrimp Tempura Don

    Hand made noodles with good taste. Chicken and shrimp don are very fresh, with good original flavor of ingredients

    A Decade of Love on a Plate: A Local Favorite That Punches Above Its Weight…read more This place is the definition of a neighborhood gem--the kind you almost want to keep secret, yet can't stop yourself from praising. Cheap and cheerful on the surface, it punches way above its weight class, delivering inventive, clean, Asian-inspired food that's masterfully cooked by clearly skilled hands--and made with real love. I've been coming back year after year for most of this restaurant's 10-year lifespan, and that consistency is no accident. Every dish tastes intentional, thoughtful, and deeply satisfying, with a clear goal: to feed people love on a plate. It's a super veggie/vegan friendly that easily wins over even my "meat and potatoes" husband--who happily cleans his plate every time. In an era where genuine hospitality feels increasingly rare, Perry single-handedly restored my faith that quality service is not extinct. Warm, attentive, and authentically kind, Perry makes every guest feel seen, welcome, and cared for--without pretense or attitude. This is food that nourishes, service that uplifts, and a place that keeps you coming back not just for the flavors, but for how it makes you feel. A true neighborhood treasure.

The service was quite slow, almost waited 1 hour for entrees to be brought to the table. It's a small place with limited staff working everything. The food was fairly basic. The fried rice seemed to be bland and below par despite ordering the spicy version. My friend who ordered the ramen liked the soup but the meat was not fully cooked and felt chewy.
