This place is super cute! I enjoyed the attentive, ease of ordering and service! I sat at the bar, and two different servers checked on me and made sure I was good! I got the takoyaki. I wouldn't order it again, as three pieces I ate were missing octopus. Covered in mayo and sauce. Just not the best takoyaki. I also got the Miso Chasu ramen! It was nice! All the toppings were great, especially the egg! The cause was a super chunky moist piece! I loved that! The noodles were lackluster. The broth was decent! A solid bowl of ramen! It still hit the spot for me! The neighborhood is lucky to have this special dive bar ish ramen joint! I would totally go back and try more stuff! read more

Quinn’s - Takoyaki. Eh. To small and missing the octopus - Japanese Near Me - Beacon, New York

3/5 stars this is for the food ONLY. They def skimp out on their portions and inflate their prices. One bao bun is like $6 or something....normally an order comes with two. We ordered shrimp katsu appetizer or whatever it's called literally just 3 small tiny shrimp lollipops. Their entrees are a little better. But the food is average, nothing to rave about. I could probably make it better at home if I had the ingredients and time lol. Some of their ramen taste like ocean water...i was underwhelmed every time. Now the atmosphere and nightlife aspect and drinks - yeah that's a 4/5. But food ? Eh. If I'm there and hungry sure, but I don't think I'd ever come here just for the food. They got a really nice Asian liquor selection tho! read more

The service at this place sucks. The bartenders are the worst I've ever encountered. The ramen was like hot dishwater. The health department concerns attached are probably an understatement of the actual filth of this place. I am just glad I didn't get food poisoning from the few sips I took of the ramen. read more

Cool spot on Beacon Main St. with good Japanese food, funky diner feel and live jazz. 4 of us went in around 7:30pm on a Monday night. The front was full but there were plenty of seats in the back so we were seated right away. It's a comfortable place that feels like a diner, which it apparently is or was. We ordered a selection of items to share. - Steamed buns - only one per order, a bit steep for $6 and makes it difficult/expensive to share. I thought the chashu pork was pretty dry and needed more sauce. - Goma Ae - very unusual dish with broccoli (roasted?) in a black sesame sauce that we found pretty nondescript. Least favorite of our group. - Takoyaki - another very interesting dish of octopus dumplings. The texture is very mushy and not obviously octopus. The breading and sauce were delicious. - Kimchee dog - self-explanatory and very good One of our party ordered Tonkotsu Chashu Miso Ramen. He said it was very good. We caught the very end of the jazz music, which sounded good, and contributed to the interesting vibe of Japanese soul food in a dinner. The service was fast and friendly. All in all, everyone liked Quinn's. read more

Imagine a 1950's diner that serves Japanese small plates and drinks as you jam to some very good live music, and you have this weirdly likable place called Quinn's. What an enjoyable evening we had hanging out here! The 2 bands we heard while sipping on beers in our booth were rocking and fun. The food is interesting, to say the least. The steamed buns were tasty bites, and Choco Manaka (ice cream sandwich) was yummy, though the waffle crust was a little soggy. The mochi ice hits the spot, but it is messy to eat. (Photos are not great, because the lighting in here is weirdly orange.) The wait staff is attentive and fun to talk to. Can't wait to come back when in Beacon again! read more

This was my first time back to Quinn's since 2018. Had a good experience then and again today. When you first walk in there's a sign saying to seat yourself. I had these Mushroom Steamed Buns in addition to Veggie Ramen with Fried Tofu, both of which were fantastic. Aside from food the service was good and efficient! The lighting however is heavy on the reddish orange side and it was slightly hard to read the menu. Maybe I just have sensitive eyes, but it definitely hurt my eyes. Overall, great food and good vibes. read more

Divey little restaurant with Japanese ramen fare. We had the ramen with chashu, the noodles were nice and chewy. They also give you a lot of noodles so you'll be full. The takoyaki and the karaage were pretty standard. My friend had the blackberry cannibal to drink it it was so unique, it is labeled as "smoothie sour with blackberry" and it is in the best way possible. Service was quick, it was Friday and night and they had a DJ. read more

I would describe Quinn's as Japanese diner food, which to be clear is factually incorrect. (It turns out I don't know even how to pronounce "karaage".) This is a good shorthand for it though -- savory, filling, unassuming, and somehow still playful on the palate like a Miyazaki movie. What really surprised me is deciding to head back to Quinn's just two days later. My companion and I had taken a look at a few places on Main Street when she said "I just want something cool and relaxing right now". So off we went. Because Quinn's is literally a comfy old American diner inside, just with moody lighting and a spectacular collection of beer and cider on offer. Quinn's is a great place for third and fourth dates, to shake off a hangover, or as a refuge from the weekend tourist traffic. Just don't tell anyone -- outside of this app of course. read more

The ramen is very bland and tasteless. The curry dish is good, but not worth going there for one dish. Dark inside which leads me to question the cleanliness. Service is good from the wait staff. They need to promote their live music better and not use Facebook. read more

Great restaurant with a laid back dive-y decor. Mostly booths, so a great spot to hang with privacy for couples or a small group. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Great food--purple sweet potato fries and croquette were good, and the green curry mussels special was nice and spicy. They also had sparkling sake and some great sounding cocktails. Would definitely go back for good drinks and eats! read more

this place has a weird low key vibe that i really enjoyed. it has the makeup of an old diner with low lighting and counter or booth seating. it's also somehow a ramen shop and dive bar? it's a real cool little spot. drinks were reasonable, service was good. we didn't eat when i was there but it seemed like a really authentic and reasonably priced menu. read more

Unique. Eccentric. Specialty. Quality. These all come to mind when thinking of Quinn's. I had been introduced to Quinn's years ago (late night), but only first started ordering their ramen during the pandemic (take out only). This was my first time dining in. It has an old time diner feel but disco-ish. I'm not even sure if that describes it, but I recommend you go check them out for yourself. Great food, chill vibes and live music. read more

This local bar was a fun time while I was in town. Me and some friends had a round of drinks and were entertained by the karaoke. The var was busy late night in a Thursday. However, we had no problem getting drinks. I believe there is food as well, but we had already eaten prior to arrival. Prices were very reasonable. I was not expecting canned wine, but it was fine for the price. There is a full bar as well. There was plenty of seating and the bar was expectedly loud. Nevertheless, we had a good time! read more

Run, don't walk into Quinn's for a satisfying culinary experience that makes you feel like you are being embraced in the innocence of the pre-digital 1980's. Quinn's is a special spot. An alluring combination of hipster dive bar, DIY-cyber-Beatnik hangout and foodie-pleasing Mecca. But please don't go if you want to gawk, complain or somehow chafe it's honest retro vibe. You may miss it on the street as the unassuming storefront looks as if it's been closed since 1994. But if you do find this gem you'll pass through two red velvet curtains and into what apparently was an old Chinese restaurant-bar newly stocked with hope and a talented staff. Mostly Gen x, y and z with a smattering of 40-50 something's the clientele was drawn there for "Art Night." (No pun intended). Basically, every Tuesday night most everyone was pleasantly chatting and drawing on paper, envelopes, art blocks and iPads. Folks some might normally judge as pretentious we're having deep conversation (I like to eavesdrop) while down-regulating with art, a wide assortment of excellent cocktails and interesting brews and amazing Japanese home cooking and street food. read more

Definitely love the vibe here, a good ramen bar, with a modern urban feel. Service was very quick here, barely ordered and in less than 10 minutes I got my ramen and shrimp. Also the service I feel was nice in sense they pleasant and no rush to decide plus give recommendations. Shrimp katsu was yummy, I enjoyed the fact the shrimp was flattened, so got it in one bite rather than just getting breading. Spicy mayo dip was good, could be more spicy though. Now the ramen, first chashu, was very thick, no thin slices here they don't hold flavor. Noodles themselves were fresh and just the right level of chew. My most part was the broth, usually places don't do rich broths and water them down. But here, the broth was rich it felt like a warm stew constancy wise. I was sipping it up, I enjoyed it so well, you can tell with broth they love the craft and it shows. Am glad I have new favorite ramen spot to replace the one that was lost in NYC. read more

Surprised by this place. The writing by the door was a clue that there was a Japanese person involved with this restaurant, despite the name "Quinn". My wife recognized that the person was likely a woman by the way the characters were written. Anyway, the interior was dimly lit, and more sake or cocktail bar centered feel with tables for eating, rather than an izakaya style place. There was live experimental electronic music playing (which I didn't realize was live until later)..You seat yourself, and I was hesitant at first to stay and eat but ended up glad we did. The menu was simple but with appealing Japanese pub type food, so we went heavy appetizers. My wife was drawn into the restaurant by the purple sweet potato fries, but she also ordered her other favorites, takoyaki and karaage. I ordered a chashu donburi, and standard sausage, which was a special. Everything was very good, except the amount of sauce on the takoyaki. It tasted good except they were really soaked with takoyaki sauce and was not evenly balanced with mayo. I other words much less takoyaki sauce and a little more mayo for the right balance. But that was really the only complaint. Karaage was hot and very good. Sweet potato fries were very nice, and my rice bowl was pretty satisfying, 2 thick pieces of chashu. The sausages were standard smoked sausages with strong Japanese style mustard sauce, with a heavy horseradish bite. More so than my wife, I appreciate the music component. Places like this can really keep a music scene and creativity going. We're only in town for a couple days so I don't know if we'll be back, but I would definitely want to return if the opportunity arose. They are open late, so it is a possibility. Rounding up to 5 stars because of the uniqueness of the place and the variety of elements it brings. read more

Came here after a NFT event with my boys, very interesting vibe here, I liked it super busy spot, this was my 1st time but from what I was told & experienced this is the fucking spot to be! It was pretty busy when we came so we probably got seated in about 15 minutes, the place was clean, and the service was on point. The food portion sizes are good but depending On your hunger level I suggest get a few things, I got the plain dogs w/ relish & Sauerkraut I'm not a huge hot dog fan but these were slapping! lol I'm going to say it was because I had it as a compliment to my edamame & purple sweet potato fries. The constant variety of tastes kept me in a cycle ADHD food bless lmao! I loved it & devoured everything! DEFINITELY RECOMMEND! read more

I was cautiously optimistic about this place after reading all the mixed reviews. Unfortunately, this is one of the worst dine in experience I've had. After we were seated, it took about an hour between when we ordered and when the food came. Even after our food arrived, it took an additional 15 minutes before the server came back to give us utensils. The food was equally disappointing. The miso ramen was extremely bland, as if they had forgotten to add salt. The donburi bowl was also rather lacking. read more

Fun place. Delicious food. Great crowd. Highly recommend the ramen. Great vegan/vegetarian options.

Food and atmosphere are delightful. Prices are reasonable and the menu is a lot of fun and very playful. I've been about a dozen times and not had a bad meal... the bartenders are a little than less friendly and honestly make me feel less inclined to hang out as opposed to eating and going right away... which is sad because the space and vibes are really cool read more

Food was not great, my date has a shrimp allergy and she couldn't eat her food due to the sweet potato fries having a fishy taste and only fish on the menu is shrimp so she just wasn't comfortable with eating the fries, drinks were ok but overall we would not be returning here it just wasn't a good experience read more

Oh my goodness, where do I even begin. By NY standards, this place cannot even be called a ramen spot; only because we have so many other options to compare to. By town of Beacon standards, I can see why this would be so highly raved about since it's the only ramen spot in town. Walking in I knew I was not going into a traditional ramen place, but instead a hipster ramen spot so I already set my expectations very low. I've been to hipster ramen spots in the city, and although I was never wow'd by it, it wasn't as bad as it could've been. After a long day walking the town in the cold I just wanted some ramen soup to warm myself up. I was not prepared for what was about to unfold. We ordered the purple yam fries with curry sauce (this had flavor, but it tasted like the curry packets from the Asian markets), and this was pretty good, but the fries were just fried in flour (not panko bread crumbs or any Japanese bread crumb). I ordered the miso ramen ($12), no char siu added, and my boyfriend ordered the curry ramen ($13). I've never tasted a broth more bland in my life - the ramen broth is the key component to a ramen dish so where's the hours of flavor simmered into the broth?? And to my surprise, my broth had just a smidge more flavor than the curry broth .... what.... It was seriously a disappointment when I realized that a pack of Nissin instant ramen had more flavor than this $12 bowl of ramen. We also asked for a side of hot sauce and the waiter said he'll bring over some gochujang...homeboy brought over sambal. Now I have no problem with receiving sambal instead of gochujang but did you really think I wouldn't notice? I'm Asian, and these sauces are a staple of my diet. Also, the sambal container was definitely left open for extended periods of time because it developed a really sour/tart taste to it. I did finish my dish because I was hungry and I was paying a city's price for a bowl of ramen, but it was not worth the money at all. Oh, also, you guys charged me for char siu when I didn't order any. We were so disappointed with the place, and wanted to leave with the quickness, we left without bothering to fix the bill. read more

Nice place. Went here for ramen...there wasn't a huge selection but the food was alright. Would possibly try again.

You know when you're eating healthy and decide to treat yourself to a nice bowl of ramen? Well, don't go here. We've been here a few times over the years, and it's definitely not the same. The pork buns have the smallest amount of pork and mainly taste of mayonnaise. Gross. We also got the miso ramen. The broth was just not good. The flavor was odd. They don't have many add ons to choose from, so I just got what it came with. They cut up a bunch of seaweed and placed it in a pile on top, so it basically made the broth taste as such. Not good. Honestly, there was nothing good about this experience except my lovely date and the water. The ambiance is shot as well. It is VERY dimly lit. At first, it might seem like a decent vibe, but if you look around, I'm pretty sure the low lighting is strategically done so customers won't notice the old and dirty building. I attached some pics of the ceiling. The seating was ripped and falling apart and just dirty. I should have known better and left when I walked in, and it smelled like an old dirty bowling alley. read more

Quinn's makes an excellent bowl of ramen. And seems to be back up and running and firing on all cylinders. The veggie ramen is loaded with sesame goodness, and even though the egg is not runny (sad!) it still lends a ton of richness to the bowl. And then you top it with some fried tofu...I mean, this is what I'm talking about. If you've not been inside Quinn's, you're up for a pretty wild retro fusion experience. I mean, don't expect to be able to see what you're eating, at least not in a normal color and definitely not at full brightness! I haven't hung out for live music, but I imagine it gets pretty raucous - it is a small space. And oh yeah, it is loaded to the gills with Beacon hipsters so make sure to grow out your 'stache and wear your flatbilled ironic baseball cap, you'll fit right in! read more

Upbeat lively darkish fun place to be for a dinner. It's cozy but loud, sounds like a concert and looks like a bar. Dim red lights shine on your food while a band rocks out at the front. Surprisingly their food doesn't really match the atmosphere but it's ok. We got the fried chicken, ramen and bibimbap. Not expecting much we were pleasantly surprised. The pork belly was cooked to perfection so much so, I had to tell the cooks in the back on our way out how good it was. Ramen had creamy flavorful broth and the fried chicken was ok... made better by the dipping sauce it came with. Recommend for a fun night, hopefully some music, and a well worth authetic-ish food experience. Didn't get any drinks but they seemed to have a decent selection read more

A casual Japanese bar on Main St, Beacon. The only other place I found that serves Japanese food around my area. I have been craving ramen since my time in California and finding places that serve ramen well is rare(except if you are willing to travel to get it). I got the miso ramen and it was very bland. Sure the portion size was good and the price is decent but that was all it had going for it. Even the chashu pork, a mainstay for tonkatsu ramen (which they don't have), was pretty mediocre at best. I also had a few apps as well; Kara-age, which is fried chicken. Takoyaki, which was mostly dough and did not have a lot of octopus. And shrimp katsu, which is fried shrimp. All the apps were decent as well. Nothing too new to write about. As for dessert, I had the Tai-Yaki. It was pretty good but also underwhelming. Overall, If you want Japanese ramen without traveling too far and you want it cheap, Quinn's is for you. I will point out that I have never tried authentic ramen before so I am basing it on what I have experienced so far. read more

First off, I love how people are on their high horse about NY standards, um hello Beacon is in New York last time i checked? Anyway, this place was a hidden gem. I will say upon first walking in there I had no idea what to expect but when you friend has a craving for ramen you don't stand in their way. The space reminded me of like a converted 1970's Italian restaurant. The lighting is dark and sensual and has a red glow about it which makes your initial walk in a kind of WTF moment. The only the only type of seating available are vinyl clad booths with vintage stained glass lamps hanging over every table. I really like to think that this space is exactly how it was 40 years ago except now instead of slinging spaghetti they are doing made to order ramen. We were seated promptly and as we ordered drinks our waiter was giving us super helpful suggestions and letting us know which beers were local and dropping some brewery knowledge which I appreciated. We ended up ordering Tako-Taki (octopus dumplings) and a chicken steamed bun to share, and for my main I ordered the Soy Ramen with the Charshu pork. Apps come out and bonito flakes were dancing in the wind on top of these little dumplings. They were not at all what I was expecting they were even better! They were crunchy on the outside and so silky smooth on the inside. It was such a great contrast of textures and flavors with all the components that came on top of it, I highly recommend you try it. Being brave pays off I promise...in this case at least. The chicken bun which we ordered as our safe stand by was very meh. The bun itself was nice and chewy with a billowy soft pillow like consistency, but the filling left little us unimpressed. It was over sauced with what tasted like very sweet BBQ sauce and had crunchy noodles on it that were neither here nor there for flavor. But wait, then the ramen comes out and it is glorious. A big ass bowl of luscious, brothy goodness with golden noodles swimming about and the most gorgeous piece of pork sitting pretty on top. I loved it, honestly writing about it now makes me sad that I am an hour and half away from it. The broth was flavorful and the noodles were the perfect texture with just the slightest bit of chew that I enjoy personally. The pork was insane, it had this awesome char on the outside and it was fall apart tender inside. Next time I order it (and by god will there be a next time) I am definitely going to get two pieces of pork because I will need to take one with me as a delicious delicious souvenir. read more
