Excellent in every way. We had short rib bao, duck confit, spicy scallop sushi, and salmon donburi, with sesame and matcha mochi at the end. Every single thing was original and fresh; even the items that were traditional were infused with a sense of considering it anew, as well as ingredients that were themselves wildly fresh (not always the case with sushi on a Sunday!) and superlative in quality. Service too was simply impeccable; genuinely polite, warm, helpful every one, while never being intrusive. And bill at the end totally reasonable. We will absolutely be back - realizing with a pang I didn't even try the ramen after which the restaurant is named! read more

I had the worst experience of my life here . As I was sitting here eating , I saw a rat run across the room . I am so traumatized by this . I would say do not eat here if you do not want to see rodents ! read more

I randomly walked into this place with some friends and it was a nice discovery. Ambiance: we were 4 and the restaurant was packed so I would say we were lucky we got a table honestly as everything else looked taken. Food: I got the spicy chicken and OMG it was indeed very spicy and delicious at the same time. I would definitely recommend to add the level of spice on the menu to give an idea on how spicy it could get. Luckily I can handle it but Im pretty sure someone else would def swnd it back. The broth was very rich and hot in this freezing weather so be ready for it, and the noodles were really soft and easy to get digest. The chicken was well seasoned aince it marinated well with all the spices, giving it a unique taste. Service: warm and friendly as the standard should be. I would def come back to try the Hot Appetizer as they look super delicious and yummy read more

Had a really nice spicy miso ramen for lunch. The broth was delicious and the chashu pork was *fantastic*. I didn't love the noodles, but they were solid. Service was very fast, and it had the vibe of a low key ramen/sushi place. Definitely check it out if you're in the neighborhood! read more

Food is very bland like someone never tried what real ramen tasted like. The AC also barely works

Best Lunch Special offering on 6th Ave especially when running around holiday shopping. They have a wide selection of sushi and ramen dishes. As well plenty of options for alcohol. The food comes out very quickly but they let you linger and take your time. As busy as this place gets it still seems quiet with its dim lighting. read more

Food is amazing! Service if good, ambiance is top notch. My go to ramen spot with my mother when we do our shopping in the area.

Dim lighting for ambiance. Friendly staff. Yummy food. Haven't eaten in Manhattan for a hot minute so I forgot how sky-high the prices are. Salmon Crispy Rice - $15 The salmon was raw so I didn't touch this, but everyone who did enjoyed it. Popcorn chicken - $15 Was a little disappointed because it didn't look or taste like the popcorn chicken I'm used to, which is not wet, very crunchy on the outside, and juicy on the inside. This dish resembled a wet karaage more, though they did have a karaage appetizer on the menu as well. The flavor was hot and spicy, which made it a little better, but the texture was not it. I wouldn't get this again! Spicy Miso Ramen - $19 Like any other miso ramen! It was decent but nothing particularly stood out. read more

Was in the area and was craving a warm soupy meal, so we landed on Oramen. The inside is well decorated with dim lighting. The service was great, the staff were attentive and ready to help us at all times. My friend and I both got the spicy tuna roll and the ramen set. The food tasted good, but not much more than that. It's not bad by any means, just nothing special. It works in a pinch, but I think there's probably better options if you're looking for sushi or ramen. read more

This is a great little spot around the Chelsea area with simple dishes and good serving sizes of main courses. The sushi rolls could have been bigger but were still just right and flavorful, fresh, appetizing. Their staff is fast and friendly and we got our food pretty quickly. I ordered a lemon cocktail and it wasn't strong at all so their bar drinks menu is just a refreshing alternative to soda/water. Good place for date night too! read more

This place was great! I went here out of the blue with some family and it was a good decision we made. We ate everything and had no issues. And it filled us!

We had no idea what to eat around chelsea/flatiron. We walked for a bit, but there's literally nothing in that area lol, but we did figure out that we wanted ramen, so that was a start. We popped in ramen in our maps/yelp and we both decided on Oramen. We both got the lunch special: one entree and one small app. We got the spicy veggie miso with vegetable gyoza. The gyoza lacked flavor and was mushy on one side while crispy on the other, so I wasn't a fan. My friend didn't mind it and enjoyed it. We both really liked the spicy veggie miso. It was super filling and tasty! Definitely worth the price! Great uf you want a fulfilling and warm meal! Price: $$ Rating: 7.5/10 read more

Went to Oramen for lunch couple of weeks ago. It's a nice restaurant, very cozy inside with a nice big bar. There's a shack style outdoor sitting area. Best part, it doesn't get crazy busy during lunch time. Their menu is huge, with all sort of Japanese dishes and drinks. We got to try the ramen, takoyaki, and my favorite chicken katsu curry. All of the dishes were delicious. The katsu curry is amazing, not spicy but has a hint of kick. The chicken cutlet was moist, not overcooked. Excellent ramen noodles and soup. The service is nice, plenty of servers sharing and taking care of all tables. Since our last visit, we have been there again for lunch. read more

Pretty well and tasty neighbourhood Japanese restaurant. Came here for a quick early dinner so seating was not an issue. Lots of options to choose from but we ended with the usual Japanese classics. All was pretty good and we swiftly finished it with no leftovers in sight. The crispy salmon seemed to be the star of the show. Service was pretty good and attentive albeit the restaurant wasn't that packed at the time. read more

Second time and always a solid meal. I highly advise coming here for something like a weekend lunch. They've got great specials running and the service is quick I ordered the Katsudon and it's absolutely going to become my go-to. The chicken was great, I might see if they could put just a little more sauce on it (if that's ok) because the rice wound up being a tad bit less flavorful than I wanted. I know I could also just add a dab of soy sauce but the curry on the chicken was so good... I also tried their matcha lemonade. Not something I'd get every time, but it hit the spot. The lunch deal on sake wasn't too bad either. read more

The restaurant is small but cute. I've passed it a few times and had the crispy rice once which was good but last night I got the ramen. The ramen is really good. Super flavorful and the egg was super flavorful. I got the pork ramen. The pork was a little tough but it was good. I really liked the broth. Super flavorful and a good size. The noodles are more of a thin spaghetti than a wavy noodle but it's still good. The service was good also. Staff was friendly. read more

On Oct. 6 I decided to try Oramen for lunch and arrived at 1:30. During my visit, the place was pretty empty, with only a couple of other customers. If I were to rate Oramen on the food and drink I had, I would give it 5 stars, but the atmosphere is zilch. The place is medium size with a bar area of about 6 seats and some tables. It is not a very comfortable place. I sat at the bar and the seats were terribly uncomfortable - no place to put your feet. The floor is cracked concrete and unbelievably ugly. (A new floor could make a vast improvement). This restaurant seems to be more conducive to take out than sit in. The restroom seemed to be clean. I ordered hot sake, salmon & avocado roll and pork gyoza. They were delicious - best I had in a long time. I'll definitely return for the food and try to ignore the environment. The service was excellent - very swift. read more

Here's the thing. It's a cute spot for Lunch. Went at 11:30 and was seated immediately. Unfortunately my salmon and broccoli and cauliflower was definitely not worth the price I paid. They didn't have sashimi options (fine). But I ordered the salmon lunch special ($18) asked for no rice, and he recommended the salmon appetizer ($13) but I wanted the vegetables. he asked if it was okay if paid full price without the rice and I said yes, that's fine, could they add more vegetables instead of the rice? "I got you".food was okay. Salmon was flavorful. Veggies weren't overcooked. My bill came and it said $21. I asked about it bc the menu said $18. He said we charged for extra vegetables. I don't mind being charged just would've wished he said that in the beginning. "Full price" does not equate to extra charges in my mind. read more

O'ramen continues to be a good place to grab lunch. The restaurant is always clean and simply decorated. They still offer a lunch menu which is great. They have rice bowls, ramen with appetizer and sushi rolls. Typically the food comes out 10 to 15 minutes later. The waiters are always friendly and attentive. During my last visit I got the Tonkotsu Ramen, which is the pork broth soup. It's consistently delicious and very rich in flavor. It comes with thin noodles, scallions, half of a soft-boiled egg, and two slices of pork belly. I also got the pork fried rice as the appetizer with my soup. This was my first time having the rice and it wasn't the best. There was a huge ginger flavor and then it's topped with more pickled ginger as opposed to another pickled vegetable like carrots. I've tried plenty of other items at this restaurant, such as the Crispy rice. It's amazing and I wish I could order it every time. I have also had the pork gyoza which are fried pork dumplings. Those are very good and a must try. Overall, I will continue to visit this restaurant. read more

We stopped by for the lunch menu and was not impressed. We were lured by the pictures of the menu outside the restaurant (big mistake!). Ordered the duck ramen and the lunch special of ramen and Karaage with a side of yu choy vegetables. The duck ramen was unimpressive. The pieces of duck were mainly fat and skin. The soup was a shoyu base, was salty. The lunch special ramen was the spicy miso, a little more spicy than what I would've liked. The karaage was delicious though! And the ramen was firm and good consistency. And the veggies were bland, it was steamed with shoyu base. Overall, unimpressed meal. And to top it off, I ordered hot water (instead of cold) and they charged $2 for this! How absurd! It was Not even tea! I have never been to a restaurant that charged for hot water. Could've skipped this meal. read more

Oramen is absolutely delicious! I had the pork katsu set and couldn't recommend it more!

I stopped in 8:45pm to order dinner to go. The sign on the front door posted that the hours were "10am-9:30om (kitchen closes 1/2 before) so I assumed it was safe to order some edamame and 2 orders of Ramen, but I was wrong. The kitchen had closed at 8:40 apparently. read more

I've been to this restaurant too many times to count. I've been alone and with friends and I can't recommend this place enough.

The meal specials are great too! 10/10 will always recommend. read more

An extremely pleasant surprise for the quality of food and the flavors they have here! I would definitely describe myself as a ramen focused diner and thought I knew most of the great spots that NYC has to offer, but Oramen exceeded expectations. Started with the chicken katsu sandwich, which was quite good. Great fry on the chicken, the sauce was very tangy, and the bread was soft and tasty! Really great sandwich. Now - the duck truffle ramen is quite possibly one of the more interesting and best ramen bowls I've ever had. Duck that is expertly tender, tons of umami flavor with the truffle broth, and delicious bok choy with the noodles. I would come back JUST for this ramen. I also tried the brisket ramen, which was another highlight. Plenty of beef and a yummy soft boiled egg. The broth flavor was very hearty and great on a cold day. Service here was fast and friendly, and I quite liked the dim lighting, neon vibe, and albeit kind of loud but groovy J-Pop synthwave vibe. Highly recommend if you're looking for interesting ramen! read more

Service was great. For the appetizer. I had the crispy rice with salmon and soft shell crab bao- both delicious. I had the tonkostu ramen and my friend has the spicy miso ramen. The broth on both were very flavorful. The noodles on the tonkostu ramen I didn't care for but the miso ramen noodles were thicker and chewy which makes for a better ramen. They also had a matcha ipa which was very interesting. Heavy on the matcha and I've never seen this beer anywhere else. read more
