So glad they re-opened, I had no idea what a gem this place is. The best Ramen I've eaten and conveniently located. The price IMHO is fair. I've paid more for a sandwich and would gladly pay it again. I can customize my order and the portions are huge and filling with great flavor. I don't mind that they do not deliver, you need to go in and experience the full-on ambiance. If you are not sure what you want, the staff is helpful and you can tell they take pride in the establishment. Eat in or carry out, run do not walk! read more

Go no where else for amazing sushi in the Newark area. Ramen Gami has the best selection of food and drinks. The atmosphere is very cozy and if you're lucky you can get one of those tables in their cave! Filled with students from NJIT and Rutgers so you know it is booming. Tried the Ramen Gami Roll with the spicy hot oil inside for an added spice. read more

Ramen Gami - Ramen Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

In town for a few rainy days and was in the mood for some good ramen. I decided to visit Ramen Gami based on the reviews and the proximity to where I was staying. I was not disappointed. I had a Tonkutsu with pork and the seasoned egg as well as a spicy tuna roll. Both the ramen and the sushi were delicious. A good sized portion with a delicious broth. The best thing here was the attention we received from the staff. Particularly the young lady at the cash register. She was so patient with us as we were a big group and some of us took some time figuring out what we wanted. The place is a little small but they are quick so you are able to grab a table quickly. Great service and great food. Definitely a keeper. read more

What an awesome place! It gets crowded but it's a wonderful friendly environment with college students, commuters...you can usually grab a seat, but if you can't they are affiliated with the dessert and bubble tea spot right next door so you can grab a seat there and they'll bring your food to you! The staff is sooooo friendly, helpful, and fun loving. The food...is FRESH, and DELICIOUS! So much to choose from, you can really tell they put some thought into their menu. I had the spinach noodles in a miso broth which I LOVED, with tons of veggies, crab and shrimp. Afterwards we went next door, where I had Taro Bubble Tea...YUMMMMM! One thing, I took a member of my staff for a birthday lunch and it got a little chilly with the door opening so often, so wear a extra sweater if you plan to hang out for awhile. No biggie though we were just fine! read more

If you've had ippudo, this place will not be remarkable for you, unfortunately. Atmosphere: small, order at the counter. A decent amount of options ranging from ramen to sushi to rice dishes. Parking is limited but when I went I lucked out and got one right in front of the restaurant. Food: for the ramen, you order the broth you want and pay for additional toppings. Sounds annoying but it is cost effective and the food here is inexpensive. Got the tonkatsu ramen with cha sui and a marinated egg and an order of the cha sui buns (2 per order) , which came out to a total of $16 and change. The buns were good, but the cha sui is rather thin. You end up getting a load of cabbage in your bun that doesn't do the meat portion justice. The spicy mayo was yummy though and had a kick, and the bun was soft airy. The ramen broth was lacking a little bit of flavor. It had the hints of the cream broth but it just wasn't quite as rich as I anticipated or hoped. The noodles were cooked well though. The cha sui was again on the thin side. The marinated egg was delicious and boiled perfectly to where the yolk was at the perfect intersection between soft and hard (that doesn't make sense but whatever). Service: friendly and attentive. I think maybe I'd try this place again and also try the sushi. But as it stands it's rather average. read more

This place gets a 5 for the great service and advice Bobby gave me. He was so helpful and Super Nice. Got in there and at first I was like ummmm..??? But then when Bobby received me w/ a smile I decided to stay, I'm glad I did. Got the pork rice buns. OMG..! I don't eat much pork but I couldn't help my self. Ask for the house chilly spicy sauce. Ramen at first the noodles didn't have much flavor but if you let them sit there w/ the broth and the house sauce for a like 3-5min. Ready for you to enjoy one of the tastiest Ramen around the area. The veggie Gyoza, it's a must. Crispy at the bottoms and super fresh. Love them.! The sushi are also fresh.! All I have to say is thank you and will be coming back.! read more

Love the food. Disappointed not open on weekends. Service is quick and does not disappoint. Good sized portions.

Came here on a whim with a colleague. The ramen soup was mediocre and the dumplings were ordinary and ridiculously overpriced considering they were tiny. The service was friendly but took a while. Many students come here so good luck finding a seat. They should really consider lunch specials. read more

Food was solid. Definitely recommend and returning for more. The Miso Raman was very good.

Been here twice with a colleague. Both times excellent lunches. This time I had a Poke Bowl and an order of Spicy Tuna sushi. Poke Bowl was small for $8.50, but had cubes of fish on bed of rice with other typical Poke ingredients. Had a choice of soy, sesame and some other dressing - that comes on the side to be mixed in. Fresh and good for lunch. Spicy tuna sushi was also good - nicely presented on a long dish. Seating is limited so come off hours or expect to wait for a seat. Staff are great and nice to support this restaurant. Parking though is difficult. read more

so glad that they tore down that old chinese food place because this place is wayy better. this is the only place that has ramen on campus or anywhere in jersey and their sushi is wayy better than nizi's. I personally love their ramen gami roll as well as the pork rolls and how they bring it next door to intrinsic where there's a lot more space to eat, even outside. The only reason this place is a 4 star is because of how pricey the food is... read more

Two good things I have to say about this restaurant--their marinated eggs and the noodle texture. Soft-boiled to perfection when the yolk is just soft enough but not runny if ya know what I mean. Noodles were al dente and didn't become soggy at all. The. Bomb. Just wanted to get that out there, but if you're interested in the other details of my rating breakdown, pls read further. 5/5 Affordable--I got the Shoyu and my friend got Tonkotsu. About $8 for the regular and $14 for XL, definitely way more affordable than most ramen restaurants and on top of that, the orders included some toppings (like menma, seaweed, mushroom). 3/5 Authenticity--the broth was good, but they lacked some of the basic condiments like La-Yu chili oil and shichimi spice that are normally placed at the table. Overall it's a nice casual spot if you're craving some ramen nearby, especially if you need that soft boiled egg and noodles in your life. read more

Ive passed through here many times and ive always thought it was closed, but today i saw people going in and i decided to stop. I was pleasantly surprised. Warm cozy friendly atmosphere like their fish cake ramen soup i had. Deep delicious broth mmmmm on a cold day. I also had their pork gyoza equally satisfying, as well as their tempura. If you're tired of the usual fast food, give RAMEN ...a try read more

We my friends and I were driving when we go the flash flood warning on our phones. The roads looked crazy with floods of water everywhere. We decided to take sanctuary at Ramen Gami.

Second time having ramen and it put my first experience from another restaurant to shame! I got the miso chicken broth base with spinach and shrimp tempura. The broth was flavorful. The shrimp tempura was fried to perfection. Loved it! We had California rolls which came out quick and our ramen came shortly after. I just wished they had more seats. The guy who took our orders was very informative and patient with us. I just wish they had more seats. I can't wait for my next visit! read more

First time here and I have to say it was one of the best ramen I ever had in New Jersey. The broth is to die for the noodles have the perfect bite and the pork was almost a religious experience. I also had the pork buns. The buns were light soft and sweet. The pork in them was so good could have had the whole pig. I will def be back to this joint read more

So I found this terrific sushi restaurant on Yelp. Two reasons I ran here it was listed as a hot new business and when I travel without my husband I eat Sushi as he dislikes all fish. Very excited to find this place it is located near the University and the Hospital. There is street parking but since I am not familar with the area and it was night it seemed a little scary. Hey it's Newark for Christ sake. So with my big sister with me I coaxed her to go. Well little sister was right again it was fabulous. Very small place with a terrific selection to choose from. The nice guy behind the counter guided us. You place your order at the counter than find a seat. Unfortunately no alcoholic beverages but they say you can bring your own. That's a big thing in alot of NJ restaurants to bring your own. Which is the opposite in FL where I now live you can get drinks anywhere it seems. The sushi was fresh well presented and most of all delicious. The restaurant although small was very clean in fact spotless. The prices are very reasonable. So glad for Yelp in helping me once again to find a terrific restaurant. read more

Who knew New Jersey had such amazing ramen!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. The service was fabulous and the ramen was so filling, perfectly seasoned and the sushi was fresh and delicious. The cashier was sooo helpful and patient especially because it was New Year's Day and ramen is the best hangover cure for me. The noodle to broth proportions were perfect, I was so full and happy!! Very, very happy after my meal here. I will absolutely be back. Sooner than later. read more

Great service, fast and efficient! The staff was very friendly and helpful. Ramen was delicious and full of flavor. Pork was a little fatty, might try chicken next time, but it did go well with tonkotsu ramen. Prices are reasonable for build your own ramen, that way you can get it exactly how you like it. Overall it really hit the spot for me, especially on a cold day and feeling a little under the weather! Ramen is the new chicken noodle soup! read more

Ramen Gami - Tonkotsu with braised pork - Ramen Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

Over the past month or so, I have endeavored to find a bowl of ramen in NJ that is comparable to the most amazing ramen that I had in Texas. No such luck until today. Ramen Gami descends from the heavens and MY SOUL IS LITERALLY JUMPING FOR JOY! This morning, as I was having an internal struggle about whether or not it's too soon to break out my Uggs (it was 42 degrees!), I decided that I definitely need to have ramen for lunch. This place has been in my bookmarks for a while now and so I ventured over to try it. I only had about 50 minutes for lunch (including walking time) so I was a little bit concerned about the amount of time it took to get my food. Definitely a little bit slow, but it was already very packed around 11:45am. I didn't really time it but it probably took about 15-20 minutes my ramen to come out. Thankfully, it wasn't scalding hot as was my experience in the past with ramen (and pho actually) so I was able to dig in right away and finish it rather quickly. The size was also perfect for a lunch portion! I got Spicy Miso Ramen with Chicken and while I wasn't really impressed with the chicken (both quality and taste), everything else more than made up for it. It was just the right amount of spicy to give you a little bit of sniffles but not give you heartburn for the rest of the day. I know that they also have sushi and while I didn't try it, I saw people around me getting it and it looked amazing. read more

Not worth the trip specifically for the food, if you're in the neighborhood and you're hungry it's okay.

Easily one of the tastiest meals you will find in Newark! REAL ramen and sushi, thoughtful approach to flavor profiles- I'm an instant fan. The only downfall is that they do not deliver, and they are not open on Saturdays which makes it a once in awhile stop ‍ read more

Ramen Gami - Tokontsu w. Marinated egg, and the pork seared hard and on the side - Ramen Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

I've been here twice already. The staff is super friendly and there's always something new to order. In terms of ramen, I've ordered the shoyu and tonkotsu ramen. Both were good in their own way but my preference is for the tonkotsu, which was delicious. Whatever your soup of preference though, order it with the egg. The egg comes cooked but the yolk still has that slightly golden gooeyness, which is heavenly. My other favorite ramen additions have been the bean curd and pork. Other than the ramen, the chicken katsu curry rice was really good. I'd highly recommend it if they have any still in stock. The cha sui buns were good too but I've also had way better elsewhere. It wasn't quite the melt in the your mouth experience that I've had with other buns. The mochi that they sell is really good too. I don't know what brand of ice cream mochi they use but it's good! The staff here are the best though. Really friendly bunch of people and full of smiles. The cashier was eating some edamame with pepper flakes on it and he offered me a sample of his own food. Needless to say, I love sampling, so...yes please! Lol. Anyways, come for the ramen, people, and the curry rice! This place has a great vibe and is a gem in Newark. read more

To be quite honest, I didn't have high expectations for a ramen shop in the middle of Newark. I've always gone to NY or Fort Lee for the ramen but my friend and I decided to give this place a chance. The establishment is very clean and modern inside with plenty of seating with natural sunlight coming in from the large windows and flat screens above the counter displaying the menu. I ordered the Miso Ramen and Spicy Tuna roll while my friend ordered the Tonkatsu Ramen and Spicy Salmon roll. While the Tonkatsu broth is usually thicker and saltier, it was lighter here than the norm. The miso ramen was also delicious, light, and a little sweet. The only thing that bothered me was that they put in bean sprouts and no menma. Perhaps it's their style. The ramen is also sold for a solid $8 with the option to add toppings for an additional cost. Both sushi rolls were also fine -- decent quality fish. I was a little confused though because it's the first time that I've seen scallion added to the roll like that. Overall, this is a great spot for lunch; standards are well above Newark. The only downside was the wait time for the ramen which took roughly 15 minutes. Aside from that, I really like this place and hope they grow rapidly. read more

I ordered a miso soup with beef along with rainbow roll for the table! We finished everything. I'm definitely going to stop by again whenever I stay in Newark! This place is a hidden treasure in the area and the interior is beautiful and inviting. Thank you to the staff and kitchen for delicious food! read more

My favorite ramen spot by far. You order at the cash register so you don't have to pay tip and they usually bring the food to your table. Price is reasonable and it's BYOB! The miso ramen and the Donkatsu ramen are both very good. You can also ask them to make it spicy. I also highly recommend the gyoza. I'm not really a fan of their sushi but I come here for the ramen. read more

My favorite sushi roll is the Ramen Gami roll. read more

Great ramen shop right by NJIT/Rutgers in Newark. They have a wide menu that goes beyond ramen, but I was just here for a quick lunch so I opted just for a bowl of ramen. I settled on the Tonkotsu ramen and added cha sui and marinated egg in it. The broth was very rich in flavor and noodle texture was perfect. The egg and cha sui were both excellent. I definitely would like to come back and try some of the other item menus, particularly the cha sui buns. read more

Every time I go back here I love it more. They've grown into themselves and are the best ramen place around. Not only do they taste better than the ramen places in Montclair, but their prices are way more reasonable and portions are definitely bigger. Plus they added to their menu! The pork buns are delectable and I love their Medusa roll so much that I started ordering seaweed salad for my rolls every time I get sushi. They deserved an updated review! read more

I love this place and I love how close it is to Rutgers/NJIT. Their prices are pretty cheap and everyone there is always super sweet and nice!

Ramen Gami - Ramen Near Me - Newark, New Jersey

So, this will get the job done in a pinch when the Ramen bug bites, but I'd pass for others not to far away. At $8 Only three Ramen & $8.5 Udon broth with one option; a good base price point. I've tried on 2 occasions both the Tonkotsu and the Shoyu with the house noodles. They have over a dozen toppings to add; I always add egg if not included. What can you say when something's missing from the complexity and or lack of depth and or pop. Now don't get me wrong becuse I wasn't painfully disappointed, but will not remember the experience whatsoever. The noodles are standard and thin so next to no absorption of flavor and I felt the the portion was adequate at best. The fresh brewed green tea at $4 unlimited is a nice touch. Seaweed side salad served on a bed of tricolor salad hit the spot and much needed to otherwise fill the tummy from the meager size soup. The also have a minimal assortment of fresh sushi and mochi assortments for dessert. Fairly clean and friendly seemingly knowledgeable sevice. Small with 4 four tops and about ten bar seats surrounding the dining area. The price is right although the small portions will force you to order more apps to fill the tum tum. Additional heat options would raise their rating in my book, but alas I will find spice elsewhere. read more

We started with the pork gyoza that were very tasty, with a well seasoned filling. Following that we had the cha sui and chicken buns, that were pretty standard as far as buns go. We also had the miso and tonkotsu ramen with marinated egg that were delicious, and we were able to customize them exactly to our liking. The staff were very friendly and energetic, overall good experience! read more

Awesome family owned upstart restaurant. In two short years Ramen Gami has developed a cult following of its own; some driving as far away as Rahway to dine.
