    Bao buns
    Binoy V.

    Delicious Ramen stop for a no-frills, comforting experience. The Bao buns are fire & their ramen is perfectly slurpy goodness. The ambiance is ok & lighting could've been better but food service is quick. This should be the stop for your next craving.

    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.

    Dining experience was great - you order on your phone and pay on the app as well. The food comes quickly and served to you. My ramen was delicious and the staff was friendly.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I really like this place. I went here yesterday and I like the aesthetic. They have great customer service and food.

    Always very quick with their service Food is always tasty Tempura buns were a lot better this go around. Shio koji chicken (not pictured) was a couple pieces of chicken breast smothered in sauce. While they were very tender, I am not sure I would order again. Thai green curry ramen was delightful and would definitely order again.

    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!

    Ordered delivery! Pretty good actually for Ramen delivery. We ordered the Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen, an order of tempura (2) and pork bao buns(2), fried chicken appetizer and pork dumplings. Yum! Everything was packed nicely and arrived warm - would like to try it again soon!

    .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.

The waiters and everyone were so extremely nice and attentive but I felt like the ramen itself was okay. I ordered the Red Tonkotsu Ramen and I was a bit disappointed. The meat had a lot of the fatty bits attached to it and the broth felt a little bit too dense and almost had this gummy feeling to it. I couldn't really taste the black garlic flavor unfortunately as well. I will say that their soft boiled egg was probably the most well done I've had out of any ramen eggs I've had in New York as the egg yolk was perfectly runny alongside the very soft egg whites. Not sure if I would come back again due to the flavor of the ramen but the staff was absolutely wonderful!

Asked up front if we had a reservation, which we didn't, but were still seated immediately at their "bar seating" which was really quite cozy and perfect for our group of 3. The aesthetic here is clean and minimalistic, which I loved, right down to the menu itself. Normally my go-to is tonkatsu ramen, but this isn't the place for that, so we all opted for the New Tokyo Style Shoyu. I loved that you get both chicken and chashu slices together. This ramen was simplicity done well, clean flavor, and I even polished off the broth. It was also somehow my friend's first time having real authentic Japanese ramen in a restaurant (and not grabbed from the package in the bodega) and now he may have a new addiction. Also, if you come here, GET THE PORK BUNS. I have not experienced pork buns this delicious since my first time having Ippudo's. After the first bite, we ALL knew they were worth every penny. My first-time-ramen-eating friend ordered THREE sets. Once again, these buns were simplicity PACKED with flavor: pillowy soft dough clouds of wonder folded over juicy, tender EXTREMELY well-seasoned pork strips in a heavenly sauce and two extremely thin cucumber slices (which I pulled off). No extra lettuce or whatever they normally put on pork buns. Even the waitress had to comment "Your friend loves the pork buns". His face held a look of ecstasy with each bite. I warned him that he will encounter a ton of Japanese restaurants sporting pork buns on the menu: they will not be this good. The Karaage Chicken Rice also deserves an honorable mention. Perfectly crispy outside juicy inside bite-sized chicken pieces atop a small bed of fluffy white rice with some kind of spicy mayo drizzle and a tiny sprinkle of scallions. Smaller portion than expected, but a tiny bowl of happiness. Waitstaff was overattentive almost, but friendly. Only adding plum wine to the menu could elevate the experience here. DEFINITELY recommend you drop in if you're thinking about it.

I won't comment on its "authenticity" because I haven't been to Japan, but it was definitely way better than other ramen shops I've been to. The space itself is small and narrow; a standard ramen bar vibe with stools at the bar and at the scattered tables. My friend and I decided to split the tsukemono appetizer to start. Their pickles were delicious, and came in three different varieties. We had lightly pickled Napa cabbage with some red chili, shibazuke which was a dark and acidic purple eggplant pickled with perilla leaves, and my favorite- sweet pickled scallion bulbs. All of these worked perfectly as a palate cleanser and fresh crunchy accompaniment to the rich soup we ordered. I got the shoyu signature ramen with pork, it had chicken broth, ground pork, char siu, scallions, seaweed, and additional pork back fat. I think I missed the pork fat when I read it on the menu, and wouldn't have ordered it if I'd known how rich it was. Definitely something to get if you like really rich and decadent ramen but not for me, I couldn't finish it and didn't drink any of the broth because of how much fat congealed on the top. So anyway, apart from that I would consider going back, just will get something else if I do!

First - Tonkotsu (pork) ramen was perfectly balanced. The broth was deeply flavorful but not heavy, almost like an 80/20 hybrid of tonkotsu and shoyu (soy sauce) ramen. Noodles were springy and not overcooked, and the roasted pork had a slightly smoky flavor and was flavorful itself, not just protein and texture like many other ramen joints. We also had the edamame appetizer - super flavorful and addictive, and we wound up ordering a second one (for our party of four) after devouring the first one. Now here's why it's my favorite ramen restaurant- my favorite dessert is banana pudding, and Tonchin's signature Tokyo banana dessert is an elevated banana pudding that makes magnolia bakery look like amateur hour. Plenty of fresh banana and a carmelized banana on the side with a balanced pudding that's not too heavy - this is peak banana pudding. So it has my favorite ramen and favorite dessert. But can it do better? Yes. It can also have...my second favorite dessert! Tonchin has excellent shave ice desserts that reminded me of Korean bingsu.

I've had them before so I knew what to expect but it was way too salty, less flavorful. Had a very nice flavor, the salt overpowered it though. I tasted mushroom. The sauce stuck to the noodles well and the noodles were delicious. My daughter and husband ordered the spicy ramen and they said it was very very good. Couldn't decipher distinctly from other top notch ramen so it wasn't knock your socks off. From now on I'll order the base dish when I go places so I can judge better. The gyoza was cooked very nicely, came sizzling and the bun with meat was a little ugly, it looked boiled and unappetizing. The taste was just okay. The topping on it was notable. The waitress didn't help us at all when ordering. We weren't bowled over with the food, although it was noted the meat in the ramen was high level. It hit the spot but I will try other places in the search for our "return forever" ramen place.

The last thing we tried was the Wagyu Ramyun, and honestly this is the only reason I'm giving Jeju 4/5 stars instead of 5. Given all the awards and hype, I expected a little more depth and flavor from the broth/ramen itself. That said, the wagyu was melt-in-your-mouth delicious and beautifully cooked. Overall, still a really memorable meal and definitely worth trying if you can get a reservation.
