Solid experience at Muteki Ramen. I was recommended this spot and craving ramen so I decided to check it out on a Sunday. It was pretty empty so we were seated fast. It's a very casual place. You order through your phone. We ordered sodas to drink and karaage chicken and shrimp shumai dumplings. The apps were delicious. Our ramen arrived fast. I had the Tonkotsu ramen and my gf had the shoyu ramen. I prefer the thin noodles and pork broth so I was happy with my choice. We both finished as much as we could. It was a good portion size. Overall it's a good spot. read more

Found this ramen place close to our Hoboken AirBnB as it was walking distance. Easy to find and some street parking if you drive in. The restaurant was decent. Plenty of tables and good for groups. There are some outdoor seating as well if it's crowded or nice outside. My family tried the below: -Miso Ramen - broth was ok, not my favorite. -Tonkotsu Ramen - broth is ok, not my favorite. I guess I like to have a little spiciness in my soup and we didn't choose the spicy Tonkotsu instead. -Pan-fried Vegetable Gyoza - I thought it was good but my kids said it was ok. -Chicken Katsu Curry Rice plate - my son said it was ok but he didn't finish it. -Tan Tan Ramen - broth was very good and plenty of ingredients The one thing I don't like is thin ramen noodles but that's me. Everyone has their favorites. Sometimes Japanese ramen places like it thin. Service was friendly, attentive and maybe our server was the owner but he was funny. [109R,2025] read more

Got the black tonkatsu ramen and it was ok. I think both the noodle and the broth could use some improvement. I prefer the noodle texture to be more chewy, and was hoping that the broth would be more flavorful. read more

Truly one of the most aesthetically pleasing and best priced ramen places I have been too! This spot on Washington St serves up authentic Japanese ramen and bao buns. I ordered the Muteki Ramen and for $18, the bowl was bigger than my head! It was loaded with toppings such as bean sprouts, cabbage, mushrooms, bamboo, scallions, eggs and more. We also ordered the Karaage Chicken Buns and Chasu Pork Buns and they were so delicious - the perfect addition to this amazing comfort meal. The style of this restaurant made me feel like I was back in Japan with the seating arrangement and open kitchen - it was so cool being able to see the cooks preparing the dishes. Truly an amazing find and recommend trying your next night out in Hoboken. read more

perfect spot to get all warmed up and satisfied especially during these cold winter days! we started off with their takoyakis and cucumber salad and they definitely worked up our appetites! i thoroughly enjoyed the cucumber salad-perfect dressing and very good crunch! All the ramens we ordered had delicious broth, chewy noodles and savory meat! Portions were perfect too. I appreciate the space and that we were comfy enough to bring our baby's stroller in without feeling so tight. Service was timely and efficient too! overall a very good experience! read more

One good ramen place in Hoboken! Have been here multiple times. Went for my usual vegetarian creamy ramen- loved the texture of broth. Less salt but overall good. The veggie tempura buns were out of the world . Loved the sauce and the crunchy spring onion topping on the tempura. My husband ordered the spicy tonkotsu. It wasn't hot enough and had a bland taste. However, he enjoyed his karage buns! We ordered a lychee sparkling drink- yummy loved it! They are a byob place and their service has always been impeccable. Will definitely go here again just for my veggie ramen. read more

Pretty bad broth. The ambiance and service were great, the food was just not good. I got the Muteki Ramen and it was really bad. Noodles were good, but that was some very unbalanced broth. Out of respect, I try to finish what I order, but this was one really bad bowl. The garnishes were good too, but bad broth = bad ramen. It's my first time leaving a ramen place without finishing from flavor alone. read more

Cozy little spot on Washington. It was a freezing cold day and a hot steamy bowl of delicious ramen was just what we needed to nourish our body and mind. There are many restaurants and Asian dining selections in town, but this place got exceptional ratings for their ramen. It did not disappoint in the quality and creativity with their selections. Service was prompt and friendly. read more

4.5* Wanted ramen on a cold night and this was one of the options! Partner and I walked in and there were only 2 groups. As the night went on it definitely got more crowded and there's not too much seating so I think there ended up being a bit of a wait. Started out with ordering the chicken karage which was alright! Not the best thing ever, but tasted decent. Then I ordered the kimchi ramen which was AMAZING. Super rich broth & the pork was super good. Noodles were a bit thinner than I'm used to but still tasted good. Great and hearty and so yummy. Loved their ramen! Definitely would be back to try more of their menu. Definitely a great spot to check out! read more

.Came in town from LA and love ramen so of course I had to find ramen while on vacation. Cute Ramen place in Hoboken with good service, kind staff and yummy food. Close walking distance to lots of shops Love the flavor of the broth and meat. I love noodles and thought the portion of noodles was perfect with option to pick thin or thick. Goyza was super delicious too. Not many people on a Monday night at the time we went but steady flow of people coming in for their to go orders! Would definitely come back if I'm in town. read more

Great ramen place with all the essential foods being delicious. I feel like you need to have the staples right to be considered a delicious ramen place. The place has plenty of seating; I was surprised when I saw the isolated slots where I believe you can order and just eat by yourself at a booth so you don't feel bad for taking the whole table. I'm terms of food, we got 3 appetizers: bao buns, karaage fried chicken, and takoyaki. All there were great; the takoyaki I felt like could be a bit hotter in temp (indicated by the fish flakes dance usually when steaming). The bao buns were balanced but nothing to blow my mind. The karaage chicken was the best; the sauce was on point. The ramen all around was great; I got the Volcano Miso Ramen and it was slightly salty but I didn't mind that. You can always ask for the spicy sauce on side fyi. Overall good place to go if you're feeling ramen read more

Reviewing based on 2 separate things. 1. Food - 3 stars - food was OK. There was a good taste to broth. But other items could use improvement. Ordered the Miso Ramen, muteki Ramen and chicken Ramen.. all were just a few bites but really was not thrilled. 2. Service - 1 star - we got sat down and asked to do a QR code to view menu. App qas a pain to deal with. Ordering was cumbersome and once ordered, had to pay via same app, which ended up erroring out and needed to go through order placing again. If additional items were needed from first order, we would need to go through all ordeal again.Staff was very little help. Maybe it could be a better experience and ours was a one off, but will not go again. read more

(Unagi Don: 62.5% | D) - The dish has every component you would want in a dish, but yet somehow manages to be underwhelming across the board. The pickles need to be pickled more aggressively, the spinach needs seasoning, and the egg could benefit from a few less seconds of cooking. (Black Garlic Tonkotsu Ramen: 87.5% | B) - This dish has a good variety of everything but not much of anything -- there was only one piece of pork for example. That being said, the broth tasted reasonable and was decent overall. IG: @amei.eats read more

Ramen is one of my favorite dishes, so I was super excited to give Muteki Ramen in Hoboken a try! I previously had tried their Jersey City location, so the Hoboken location was a fun surprise. Their noodles are even made IN HOUSE. The Kimchi Buns were AMAZING and definitely a must order when you go. The staff are all extremely friendly and attentive-- and the restaurant is located right on the main road so easy to get to. The interior is nice and cozy with plenty of seating available. Definitely need to visit again soon! read more

I want to start by saying that Muteki does many things right. The vibe, service, and menu options are all there. My three star rating is mainly for the ramen (I ordered tonkotsu and my boyfriend ordered miso) and I will break it down even further: Noodles: 5/5 The tonkotsu came with straight noodles which I prefer. It was cooked perfectly with a slight chew. Toppings: 5/5 Char siew was beautifully browned with a layer of delicious fat. The egg was marinated nicely with just the right amount of jammy-ness. Broth: 1/5 Now this is where the ramen fell short. The tonkotsu broth was not rich at all. It tasted watered down. I know some people don't mind a lighter broth, but I prefer a deeper, more flavorful soup. Maybe they can consider adding a richer option? Also, the miso broth had no miso flavor... read more

My new go to when ordering ramen in on a cold night. Uber Eats came through with a hot and fresh delivery. The delivery was quick and by separating the broth and the contents of the ramen bowl, texturally everything was as one would expect....crunchy veggies, medium soft noodles, perfectly thinly sliced pork. This is not served in a style which cooks the meat in the broth, like you'd see in something like Pho. For delivery, I prefer this and it also allowed me to add as much or as little broth as I wanted. The packaging on the bag is very clever and I also enjoy the edible branding on the bao buns. We've convinced my friend that she actually likes ramen! Thanks Muteki for expanding her world of food choices! I went safe on my friend's meal and ordered her the karaage ramen ($20) with the karaage bao buns ($9.75). I love the light breading on fried karaage. It gives you the satisfying crunch without the heavy grease. I was impressed by the number of soft drinks offered. We ordered a sparkling lychee drink ($4.50) to go with the meal. But in the end, since we could only finish half, my friend decided to repurpose it for her lychee martinis and leftover ramen the next day. They also had a sparkling mango drink and some Japanese glass bottle sodas which have the fun ball that you push in to drink. The karaage bao buns had the classic soft and slightly sweet bun. The inside was packed with crunchy veggies and a crisp piece of karaage chicken. I was hesitant by the inclusion of pickle, but this is more like a Japanese pickled radish. Kosher dill pickle from a jar, this is not. Uber Eats has a 2 for 1 offer right now. We ended up getting 2 orders or 4 bao buns, which gave us one more to have the next day with our leftover ramen! My volcano ramen ($20) was packed full of veggies as any good ramen should be. The bowl was filled with bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, buttered corn, scallions, cabbage, kikurage mushrooms, and the pièce de résistance - half of a creamy soft boiled egg, all nestled on a bed of fresh ramen noodles. The grilled sliced pork on top was flavorful and had a perfect pull-apart texture. I ended up going half way in on the broth to control how spicy this dish was. As soon as I opened the broth, the spicy aroma filled the room. The salty and buttery miso combined well with the red chilies. I have a medium heat tolerance and this was perfect for me. read more

They set the standard for Ramen in the neighborhood. The dishes are prepared and well balanced no flavor overwhelms any other flavor. Every mouthful is a Palate Party.

Purple sweet potato tempura- loved that it came out hot. Good with the sauce but not something I would get again. Volcano ramen- not that spicy. It was okay but wouldn't get it again Service- mediocre Not sure why there are so many stars. My friend doesn't think the ramen isn't as good. I'm not a huge ramen person so I had to ask my friend his thoughts. read more

My fiance and I got a Vegetarian Creamy Ramen, Volcano Ramen and Okonomiyaki. Everything was delicious! The Volcano Ramen was quite spicy so beware.

Whenever the temperature drops an extra bit, I immediately start craving ramen. It is my cold weather weakness. I realllyyyyy miss going out to my favorite spots and I've tried a lot of Hoboken ramen gems of the years. Since quarantine started, I've been able to see how one of my favorite foods comes to go or via delivery. Muteki is officially a front runner! I know getting ramen delivered can be a little daunting, but most places I've tried have truly mastered it, including Muteki. I got the Tonkatsu Ramen and the hot broth comes separate from the ramen and the fixings, so nothing is soggy or over cooked. You can see from the photos I uploaded that all of the veggies look so crisp and fresh, and the same for the rest of the ingredients. All I had to do was combine it all into the bowl they delivered it in and I was good to go. Everything was delicious and looking back at the photos is making me crave another bowl ASAP. Delivery came very quickly and they have such a low minimum, I didn't need to order anything but the ramen I was craving. I cannot wait until my next Muteki Ramen order! read more

My husband and I ordered delivery from Muteki Ramen a few nights ago and were really impressed! Ordering ramen for delivery seemed a little risky; I was worried it would arrive cold or the ingredients would be soggy, but it tasted just as good as I'd expect it to be in a restaurant. I tried the Muteki Ramen bowl, which came with tender pieces of pork and chicken chasu, veggies, noodles, egg and a fish cake in a flavorful chicken and pork broth. It was a big enough portion for two servings, which is always a plus! We also tried the shrimp shumai dumplings. I order this dish fairly often and Muteki's version was a standout. It came with big pieces of shrimp (hate when a shumai is mushy or barely has any shrimp inside). We'll definitely order from Muteki again, and I'd love to dine in-house soon! read more

Great food and solid service. Ramen, udon, buns= all good! Our noodle-loving kid loves this place.

The staff were very friendly, I wanted to nibble on something real fast before I went on a long trip back home lol. I was reading the reviews and wanted to stop by since they had good reviews. To be very honest, my favorite thing was definitely the thai tea it was sooo freaking good, the ramen was alright to me, but it was still good and it was very filling. I ate half of it and took the other half back home. The lights inside was very dim, I wasn't sure if they were open to be honest haha, but I saw customers inside so I knew they were open. It was very clean inside and lots of spacious seating. It's very fast pace too, I ordered like 5 mins and it came out. I was like whoa, impressive read more

I love the steamy bowl of ramen they have in the window displayed. It's cute and catches your attention. Ordered delivery from here. We ordered the black tonkotsu ramen, seafood ramen, 4pc pork chashu, and kimchi salad. Delivery arrived pretty quick. It was still warm. The black tonkotsu was okay. The seafood ramen we wouldn't get again. It's better at South Street. The scallops were so tiny. There's barely any seafood. And at $20? Way overpriced for what it is. The tonkotsu was $18. Also pricey for small portion. Lacked the flavor I wanted. The kimchi was not good. We tried one bite and threw it away. Waste of $7. Don't recommend. The pork chashu was small for $7.50. It was also okay. We've had better. The noodles were cooked perfectly. Overall, we weren't satisfied and wouldn't order from here again. read more
