That ramen was delicious! I'm so glad I finally stopped in to give this place a try. The service was excellent, and my waitress was fantastic from start to finish. This time I ordered the spicy soy ramen instead of my usual creamy broth, and I'm so glad I switched it up--it was absolutely top-notch. My boyfriend is obsessed with the Japanese buns (mostly because of the sauce). Overall, it's a great spot for a casual lunch, and I'll definitely be back. .
A good local fave! The most efficient and authentic feeling Menu ranges from takoyaki to ramen to curry, as well as a selection of beers Service is quick and efficient but there can be a long wait The space feels lively
The person I'm with is a huge anime fan so when we were looking for places to eat, of course we had to stop through just based off the name alone. The restaurant is nice but it is a tight squeeze. There is sitting around the grill so you can good look at them cooking and preparing the meals. Our waitress was sweet and seated us as soon as we walked in. I ordered the fried chicken platter with curry and with fried rice ($3 up charge) instead of white rice and a can of ginger ale. The food came out fast but they gave me white rice instead of the fried rice. It's all good. The platter was delicious! It is a little pricy but I highly recommend visiting this place for lunch.
Still a good spot to get a freshly made hot bowl of ramen prepared right in front of your. Hit the spot just right in a cold Sunday afternoon. As its a small narrow place with mainly counter seating sometimes there is a waiting list for a seat. Worth a few minutes wait.
Ramen was fine, nothing too special. The price is good, $15 for a regular miso bowl. Service was a bit unorganized. There's a waiting list outside but in two columns and people do not fill out in order, and the employees end up just calling whoever they see has been waiting the longest. Inside, there's a long hall bar table and you can watch the chefs prepare your ramen.
Was so excited to try this place. My fiancé's ramen was good. Here's the katsu curry I received vs. what's pictured on the menu. And the restaurant doesn't answer the phone no matter how many times you call. I wouldn't recommend for delivery.
Naruto has been around for decades so I thought this has to be good. I went for lunch and got the lunch special which is basically a regular dish/ priced ramen bowl and if you add $3 on top you get a app (which is an option of fried rice, gyoza, chicken teriyaki bowl or chicken curry bowl). I opted to get the chicken teriyaki bowl. Honestly so not worth it. It was literally a little bowl of rice with a few pieces of chicken. Could've skipped this. I also ordered the miso ramen. While the ramen is bouncy and cooked well, the toppings were just so lacking. I felt it was just a very minimal cheap portion. I barely got any bamboo shoots. And I opted for chicken instead of pork. And sadly the chicken was quite dry. Overall for $20 lunch meal it was so not worth it. I wouldn't be craving ramen anymore!
I went specifically for the ramen- it did not disappoint. So delicious and nicely plated. It's pretty small and busy especially prime time dinner. It's an L shaped counter setting. It was nice literally watching my food being prepared. The host/ waitress was really nice so that's a plus. Can get hot with all the stoves and fires on. Be prepared to wait a bit depending on what time you go. The food is worth it tho.
This is a cute little hidden gem, a small shop and it seems to be always busy. They have a list outside for you to put your name and get called, I went with my friend so we were seated quickly. Inside it's a bar style seating, and of course with the name like Naruto, they had to have pictures of Sufi anime (if you are familiar) alongside other anime posters (Japanese cartoons). They also have hooks for your coats/purses which is super convenient! They have slow music with the lights to medium so it's not super bright but not super low (so probably not the best romantic spot) . The host that greeted us was nice, she showed us our seats in a friendly manner. They have the tangible menus, and pretty easy to follow along, which is nice because I feel like food menus can get overwhelming sometimes. I got the original Naruto ramen and for an extra cost, I added a few more things so you do have that option if you like some ingredients more than others. I did get some chili oil and got charged extra for that which I found weird because every other ramen spot I've been to, usually the spices are there for your convenience at no extra charge, it wasn't a lot more (only $1) but still, I only needed a little bit so I had a little container of chili oil left over lol. For drinks they have Japanese sodas, and coke products as well, as for alcohol, they have beer. The bowl is pretty generous and the ramen is delish, the price is on the higher end but that's in the normal scale for NYC prices. The place is chill and clean, the food is really good and the staff is nice. I really enjoy this place which is why I keep coming back, if you are around this area, I definitely recommend you check out this spot ^_^!
You poor Upper East Siders standing in line to eat at this Naruto don't know that the Upper West Side has a much better Naruto. Yesterday, I got the Cilantro Bomb at this Naruto. Absolutely no taste, I had to send it back. When I got it back, it was ok, but not as bomb as the one on UWS. One time I ate Cilantro Bomb three times in one week on UWS. Do yourself a favor and go to UWS for Cilantro Bomb, tastebuds awakened for life. The Tom Yum Gyoza is pretty good though, lots of flavor. Get the pork one. Also, this place is too small and too crowded.
This place was very cute and they made the food quickly quickly. The woman behind the counter was so sweet and she gave us free sodas with our meal. The Tonkatsu Ramen was delicious and better than Kiko Ramen. We also got the pork Gyoza and that was very good and we got the crab Rangoon. Everything was delicious and we are happy. I would definitely come back here.
I had big hopes for this ramen place given its indoor atmosphere, bustling lines outside on a nightly basis, and menu of dedicated soups. But to be honest, the food fell a bit flat. The soup didn't have much taste even though the ingredients appeared mostly fresh. There was not much tofu inside the soup itself and substitutions were quite tricky when ordering from a few delibery apps like Seamless and Uber. The food was processed quickly which is good- and the hostess was kind for pickup - but many of the ingredients were missing either spices, salt, or all of the above. Would I return? Maybe although its unlikely given the confluence of other options available in the neighborhood.
We arrived at the restaurant around 5PM and dinner had just started so we were seated quickly. The waitress quickly took our drinks & orders. The place is small with just a counter bar. Its focuse is on Ramen and a few appetizers, and some entrees. We decided to started with takoyaki. The octopus was tender, the dough was a little mushy but overall good starter. We then got to watch the sous chefs prepare our Ramen with craft from behind the counter. Shortly we were served the hot bowls of Ramen! The noodles had a nice chew, the char siu was balanced with right amount of fat and meat. It was tender with 1/2 of soft boiled soy sauce egg. My broth was spicy Naruto and it was with depth and just right amount of spicy kick. Fair size bowl just enough for one. The bill came out to be around $40 with tax not including tip. For upper Manhattan locations, it is a good place for Ramen.
I came on a Wednesday night, and there was no wait because I sat at the bar for a party of 1. It is a really small space, so it did feel a little cramped and there aren't many tables. I got the chicken katsu curry ramen but unfortunately it wasn't that good. It satisfied the ramen craving, but I feel like there are a lot of better options. The breading on the chicken katsu just fell right off and the chicken wasn't juicy. The broth was also pretty thin for a curry ramen. And the toppings were cold :/ Noodles were alright, but nothing special. The server was very nice tho! read more
I love Naruto Ramen. Inside Naruto Ramen lies a massive counter full of single seats, inviting you into the kitchen. Music played is anime or Japanese based, which is fun. The ramen is great, the broth is warm and hearty. The appetizers they have are equally delicious. read more

+.5 for service Pretty good ramen place overall, but given the competition of ramen superiority in NYC I have to knock it down a level. The "Naruto" part of Naruto Ramen is actually the ingredient, however they play a lot of anime theme songs and there are lots of Naruto-themed pictures throughout the restaurant. I had the Miso Ramen, which include a generous serving of noodles, two pieces of chashu, and some butter among other things. For $15 this is definitely one of the more affordable ramen places in Manhattan, and I'd definitely recommend it for a neighbourhood joint. It's not the best ramen I've had, but again good value for what you get here. Service is good. I'd recommend for someone who lives nearby, but for tourists I wouldn't tell them to go out of their way for here. read more
I love this place because I can sit alone and listen to music while enjoying yummy ramen. The broth was so good and the ramen was done so well. WAIT THE EGG. THE EGG ??? I've had many many many jammy eggs in my lifetime but this one ?? Perfect. It was sweet, flavorful, and overwhelmingly comforting. Amazing. Amazing. The waiter was also really nice and I didn't wait extremely long for my meal. Just long enough to know that it was being carefully prepared :) read more

Naruto Ramen is solid. It's a small space so I'm sure it fills up quick. I went in at 4 on a Thursday so I was fortunate to score a seat at the bar. It's an open kitchen which always puts my mind at ease. While waiting I think I discovered some tips and tricks for Ramen making. I definitely could up my Ramen game. It was very good not the best I've ever had (I've had a lot, not to brag;). Overall good. Good ambience, good ramen at a fair price. read more

Whenever we walked past this place, there was always a lot of people waiting outside of the restaurant. We were craving something warm today again, so we decided to eat some ramen. We didn't have to check in with a host/hostess because all you need to do to put your name down is write your name on the clipboard. We went for dinner on the weekend and the wait only took about 10-15 minutes. We were seated soon afterwards. I got the Tan-tan Ramen and the broth was rich/delicious. The noodles were chewy and they gave a very generous portion. I loved how there was a spicy kick to it because it unlocked all of my tastebuds. The server was very nice and took our orders when we were ready pretty quickly. The ambiance was alright...just a bit cramped because the venue is pretty small. Overall, I give it a 5-star rating because it was honestly a pretty solid & tasty ramen. Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 read more

The ramen and dumplings here is amazing I was very satisfied with the food and service! It was definitely worth the trip uptown. I ordered the Hells Kitchen kimchi ramen with the pork gyoza. Both the appetizer and noodles were very tasty and I'm looking forward to visiting again. read more
I have passed by this Ramen shop on the express bus since high school and I've always wanted to try out the ramen here! I've heard really great things about it, and when I saw the waiting list outside my expectations, rose with excitement. We were called in about 20 minutes on a Sunday night so we didn't wait too long. They have indoor and outdoor seating so that certainly helped we were seated inside and when we walked in anime music flooded the shop, which I loved because I'm a dork and know almost all of it. Ambience and atmosphere got a check in my book. Inside is pretty tight since it's a small hole in the wall but the sign outside definitely makes it stand out. The staff was one of the kinder stuff I've come across at restaurants in general, even when the girl next to me spilled all her water on the floor. They were so genuinely sweet! As for the ramen, I ordered the original Naruto ramen and was pleasantly happy with the pork. Sometimes ramen shops will only give you super inedible fatty pieces of pork but I had 2 decent pieces. As for the broth, it was just okay. The flavors didn't exactly punch but it was pretty good. Flavor wise is this spot my favorite? No. But I'd it a great spot in the Upper East Side to grab some ramen for the future winter months ahead oh most definitely. Don't come here expecting a lot as it is a "sit at the bar, eat and go" kind of spot. But waiting for your food while listening to anime music is a whole freaking vibe. On Site -Bathroom in the veryyyy back in the employee area (you may have to ask to go) -Hooks for your Jackets Tips -Wheelchair accessible outside (might be too cramped inside) read more

I have been to this ramen shop few times already but I'm assuming they changed their chief or management so ramen and soup base tasted so different now compared to 3-4 years ago. Their soup wasn't cooked with bones for hours like other local shop, I'm assuming it's from a central kitchen and they just buy as wholesale. Doesn't taste good anymore. Their appetizer, fried chicken, was the only tasty item but way too salty. And their service was not the best and not sure why they only check in with the customer toward the end of the dining and they don't offer nor provide any red pepper or fried garlic dressing anymore. Thumb down and do not recommend ppl to try. read more
If you're looking for some quick noodles to warm you up, I'd stop by here! I came here after going to the Guggenheim and was pleasantly surprised. It's an anime themes ramen restaurant with an anime playlist and different artwork. I didn't take a photo of the inside but it is a narrow space as you're just seated at a bar right in front of the kitchen. However, outdoor seating or takeout is an option too! I prefer watching the process of the cooking as it's quite interesting! The servers are really kind and enthusiastic. Even though it's a face paced eatery, the workers make it look like such a smooth process. I came here on a weekend afternoon and there wasn't much of a wait. As for the food, I ordered the Miso Ramen and Cheesy Pork Gyoza (forgot to take a photo). Starting with the cheesy gyoza, it was steamed and very soft. I thought the cheese was an interesting addition. I was however expecting it to be crunchier but the steamed version is nice too. Didn't leave a single piece of cheese or dumpling behind. Solid 9/10 The ramen itself, I was kind of expecting more. I think the broth could've used just a little more flavor, and the eggs were a bit over cooked than typical ramen eggs. The roast pork pieces were really tender which I liked. The noodles were also still a bit chewy but not too noticeable. The portion size however was great! I definitely was full after just 3/4 of the bowl and I'd come back here and recommend if you're looking for a quick bite (especially in this colder weather). read more

Solid spot for ramen on UES. No frills, sit at the bar/counter and you get your food very quickly! I got the miso ramen and enjoyed it. My boyfriend got the chicken katsu curry which he also liked. Only not giving 5 stars as the waitress forgot to put in our appetizer order of gyoza and karage. Hopefully would return back and would still want to try these appetizers. read more

Ordered Mega Naruto Ramen and Vegetable (Miso) Ramen. Standard Japanese ramen in a small, sit-down spot. Many options for sake (glass/bottle) and a couple appetizers. The open kitchen/bar seating gives off Japan hole-in-the wall local ramen shops - felt cozy and snug. Flavor-wise, nothing special but the price was fair and right. read more
This ramen hit the spot! I got the Tan Tan bowl and really enjoyed it. The broth was super good and I feel the portion was perfect. My friends and I shared the Kara-age and Takoyaki. Our server, Toshiya, was amazing! He was friendly and attentive. He recommended the Tan Tan and 3 of us ended up getting it! He also gave us Sake Jelly Shots! I would definitely come back! read more

Do i have to make a reservation?
They do not take reservation. It's first come first serve.
Can you order the ramen without any of the vegetables that it comes with?
Yes, you can! I've found it's best to order in person. It costs extra, but ask for extra broth. It's so worth it.
Does the restaurant name have anything to do with the show Naruto?
The ramen is showcased in the show.. but that’s about it!
