    Gyoza
    Miranda M.

    I love the ramen here! Such a cute little spot. Bring cash! We ordered two orders of the gyoza and the Black Tonkotsu ramen to go. You can't go wrong with these. A perfectly jammy egg in the ramen, bits of meat in the broth and generous meat inside. The ramen in the fridge did solidify a bit, not sure why, but was just as good once I reheated it the next day. The gyoza comes 4 at a time and they were fried to crispy perfection and accompanied by a long green pepper. My goal is to eventually try their entire menu. The inside of this spot is super cozy and perfect for a winter date night.

    Wow! quaint lil ramen spot in Brooklyn! The seaweed salad was so fresh and my dad wanted something spicy to go with it and they offered mustard that had a hint of wasabi. The best mustard ever and i dont even like mustard! I also ordered the japanese seafood pancake with scallions and kewpie sauce and loved the texture and flavor. I had the nana curry ramen and it was so tasteful and matched the right combination of curry flavor. I will definitely come back here and try the other apps the server recommended. Only thing i didn't check when coming here was that it was cash only but they also have a atm machine on site with $1+ fee

    Kimchi and spicy miso

    Okay came here on 7/19 randomly for dinner and didn't see Irene working here. I was starving, so we ordered the gyoza even if I am not a fan of their filling and I ordered 2 extra bowls of noodles. The other waitress asked if we wanted egg noodles the one that comes with my spicy miso or the other noodles that came with the tonkotsu. I have never been asked this before, so it threw me off but I appreciated it. I ended up asking for both versions and L got the egg noodles and A and I shared the other lm bowl. When the gyoza came, A bit into it first and said they changed the feeling they must've heard your complaints. When I saw the filling, I noticed it did come with more greens and it's better than the previous version, but it's still something that's not worth praising. Once the Tonkotsu arrived, I immediately saw a difference in the egg. This egg yolk wasn't gooey. It was a firm yolk and presentation didn't look the same. Once I tasted my Spicy Miso, I knew something was up. It didn't have any kick or flavour. I was like wait did they change chefs? I asked and the owner's daughter said he's on vacation and her dad is cooking. I am sorry, even if he's the one that came up with the recipe, the other chef perfected it. Even A said tonkotsu lacked flavour as well. I wish I took a picture of both of the ramens to show the side by side difference, but I didn't because I come here way too much to be documenting the same Spicy Miso and Tonkotsu and gyoza. I need that chef to come back ASAP and next time he goes on vacay, show the owner how it's done. I was highly disappointed and the other chef was so personable too.

    Not sure if there was a change in ownership or menu but went back after 6 months and got even better than the last time. Would have given a 4 star then and 5 now due to the flavors, noodle bounciness, service, ambiance, and overall dining experience. Limited seating and a bit hard to get seating on weekends but highly recommend for an after work dinner and happy hour! Or a date night, will have anyone impressed. Cash only!! (ATM on site too)

    Okonomiyaki

    The only place in the area with area with Okonomiyaki.& it's phenomenal *drools* I don't know how I can always put back so much food when I come here but it's alll so good and I've never had a problem finishing my meals. I also like the tan tan ramen, pork gyoza, the tako yaki & other menu items. I don't think you can go wrong here with anything.

    For my last sit-down meal in Brooklyn, my sister took me to her local ramen spot which is Nana Ramen. It's a small and cozy restaurant with plenty of ramen options to choose from. I decided on the kimchi ramen (added minced pork) and the sausage appetizer. The sausage and karaage (that my sister ordered) were great! A meal could easily be made from these two apps alone. The kimchi ramen was perfect. Soup tasted mildly like kimchi chigae but a much lighter version. I enjoyed all of the toppings in the ramen, too (corn, seaweed. Bok choy, kimchi). It wasn't overwhelming and there were plenty of noodles, too! Service was fine, albeit a little slow at times but there seems to be only one lady that is overseeing the FOH. Also - this place is CASH ONLY.

    Black Tonkotsu Ramen
    Helen H.

    Was craving ramen again and decided to grab a bowl here for take out during lunch hour. I ordered the Black Tonkotsu ramen and it was packaged nicely with the soup in a separate pint. It hit the spot - nice springy noodles, Japanese wood ear, two slices of chashu, a soft boiled egg in a flavorful broth. Restaurant was very quiet during a weekday lunch hour and service was friendly. Cash only though - $17.40 in total.

    Shoyu Ramen

    Good solid food that tastes fresh and delicious every time! The ambiance is nice with the low lighting and lots of little creative decoration choices that make the space feel warm and comfortable. The service is nice but they only have 1 person running the cash register, delivering food, and taking orders so things take a little bit. I wouldn't recommend this place for authentic Japanese food/Ramen but it's still great! Also it's CASH ONLY! But there is an atm in the building.

    black tonkatsu (front) and curry ramen (back)

    I think Nana Ramen is not very authentic Japanese? Curry ramen has coconut milk in it, so it definitely has a Thai-influence. I was expecting the brown Japanese curry flavor, so that was a bit disappointing. There's also bokchoy in it, so it's confusing. I don't hate the black tonkatsu, but the soft-boiled egg doesn't work in ramen like this. And there's only 1/2 of it. Again, I expected the soy-marinated one. The chicken karaage is good, and I like the crispy batter with the skin on. Overall, Nana Ramen's food gets 3.5/5. Decent prices for nyc! Staff mask, and service is fast for a Fri night dine-in. Interior is nice and modern, and I like the industrial light fixtures! CASH ONLY! If you're hungry, it's a decent spot for Asian food in the area. I don't think I will be back.

To start, I ordered their matcha lemonade, which was super refreshing with a well-balanced matcha flavor. We also had the cucumbers with onion dressing, and they were delicious -- the dressing paired perfectly with the crisp cucumbers. The fingerling potatoes were buttery and flavorful, and we also ordered the curry wings, which were very good. The curry flavor was subtle and paired really well with the parmesan cheese, giving them a savory depth without being overpowering. For my main, I had their steak ramen, which was a collaboration they were featuring at the time, and it's probably one of the best bowls of ramen I've ever had. The broth was incredibly flavorful, the steak was cooked perfectly, the egg was beautifully seasoned, and the shoestring potatoes added such a great crunch. I'm honestly going to be dreaming about that ramen. I'd highly recommend making a reservation. This place is absolutely worth it.

My husband had the kaishin don, I had the Ozakaya donburi set and our girls shared the shoyu tonkatsu ramen. The fish was so incredibly fresh here and the rice was seasoned perfectly. My donburi set also came with dashi broth that the waitress later brought over to pour on top of the leftover rice in my bowl to be enjoyed at the end of the meal. The broth and rice combination was really comforting and satisfying. This dish was something I wanted to try in Japan but did not get a chance to experience when there, so I was excited to try it at Ozakaya. I was really pleasantly surprised by the ramen here as well. Although the pork could have been better/more tender, the broth was rich and seasoned so well and not too salty like other places. Last but not least, the service here was excellent and efficient.

Overall, the quality was excellent. A couple of pieces were a little on the flavorless side, but nothing that ruined the experience. I'd still give it a solid 9/10 and would definitely come back if I'm in the area again.
