I was honestly disappointed with Ramen Misoya. The taste and quality have changed, the prices have gone up, and even the menu seems different now. The ramen I received did not match the photo on the menu, so I mentioned it to the waiter. Instead of apologizing, he blamed me and said the ingredients were clearly written on the menu. He said he would let the restaurant know, but there was no apology at all, and I was still charged the full amount. I had been going there for over 10 years, since they were in the East Village, so this was really disappointing. Also, be aware that there is barely any cell signal inside the restaurant. Unfortunately, I will not be going back again, and I would not recommend this place anymore. I know this is a little harsh, but I believe it is fair feedback. I hope the restaurant takes it seriously, reflects on it, improves, and trains the staff better. read more

A cozy, reasonably priced vibe in the West Village! The hidden gem is difficult to find especially at night. There is a small sign next to a staircase at the corner. It's down the stairs. The menu is physical so no QR code. They've got nice options for each ramen. We went with the shishito peppers for an app. They were a much too salty, and could've been a bit more blistered. The Mame Ramen was delicious. I loved the fried shrimp on top. The Kome Ramen was a bit tamer. I'd definitely go opt for the Mame if you're looking for ramen with depth. There was only one server the whole night for the entire dining room. They were very friendly It's at a great price too! I definitely feel like this is a return spot if I need a warm cozy, cheaper meal in the west village. read more

My daughter was craving ramen and this place popped up on our map. We did have a hard time finding it for a moment (it was around the corner from where my map said it was and it's in the basement). But so glad we found it because the pork gyoza and ramen were to die for!!!! We would come back everyday if we could. While from the outside it's nothing impressive (walk down to basement) the inside is cozy and inviting. The staff were very friendly. read more

This is my favorite ramen chain in nyc. Unfortunately the location much closer to me in St Marks closed. This location is farther for me but it has more seats and is more spacious. Friendly and smiling staff. I got the lunch special home miso ramen. I got it with salad and tea. They changed their soy dressing on the salad and it has a much stronger aftertaste which I'm not a fan of. The ramen is great and not too salty. read more

Ramen Misoya - Kome miso ramen - Ramen Near Me - New York, New York

This place is in the located in the basement to the left of a bagel shop. It might've been used as a storage or waste disposal space in the past but the restaurant did a good job of renovating the space into a more welcoming atmosphere (once you get past the front door). Inside there were a few tables and counter seating in the main dining area. There were also slightly larger tables further in but the lighting seemed really dim there for some reason. The bathroom is beyond this area so the walk there was also a quite dim but at least the bathroom was cleaned and well stocked. I didn't realize till after I ordered but apparently they also have lunch specials! Will have to check it out next time. I ordered the Shiro Miso Cha-Shu Ramen and boy was it a lot of food! The chashu was okay, I wish it was slightly more smoky. I appreciated the copious amounts of bean sprouts as a beansprout fan. Below that were a good amount of ramen noodles. The soup wasn't too salty or oily, very drinkable (though probably not a good idea). Service was attentive, the waiter refilled my cup of water whenever it was not full. read more

Ramen Misoya is one of the more authentic ramen shops around - you know when actual Japanese people run the kitchen and service that the food will be more authentic! The restaurant is located below street level, so it might be a bit hard to find at first. The vibe inside is warm and the time I went it was pretty busy. I had the Shiro Miso Cha-Shu Ramen (White, Less Salty Mild Sweet Flavor Soybean Paste - Kyoto style - $18) and it was probably one of the better ramen's I have had in New York. Definitely recommend this spot! read more

I think for the average palette the shiro is better than the mame. It's brighter and more dimensional while the mame is a deep darker flavor (as to be expected, although it's not bad either). Have not had the standard kome. read more

Ramen Misoya - Kome miso lunch set - Ramen Near Me - New York, New York

Misoya is a hidden ramen speakeasy located in a basement down a sketchy staircase in West Village. Once you step in, the restaurant is spacious with warm tone lighting and clean bathrooms. They specialize in all types of miso-based ramen, including Hokkaido, Kyoto and Nagoya style. We ordered 3 apps and 2 ramen for two people. Everything was authentic and enjoyable. Highly recommend trying their signature miso ramen as this is what they are known for. ＊Black Pepper Tuna The seared raw tuna sprinkled with black pepper is so delicious and full of flavor. The dijon mustard adds a tangy and sweet flavor that complements the tuna's natural sweetness. ＊Ikura Tofu* I described it as a tofu version of chawanmushi. The tofu is incredibly silky and jiggly, literally slipping into my throat. The dashi sauce coated on top has a slight hint of ginger-y flavor. They also give a decent amount of ikura to ensure you have it with tofu at every bite. ＊Ebi Dumpling I've never seen a whole shrimp wrapped in gyoza skin before. It is so unique as an appetizer and a less meaty appetizer to pair with your ramen. ＊Shiro Miso Cha-Shu Ramen** Shiro miso is a Kyoto style ramen using sweet and light soybean paste. This type of miso is less salty and milder compared to their two other miso options. We couldn't stop but kept drinking the soup. The cha shu is seared to give a slightly smoky, caramelized exterior. The meat-to-fat ratio is simply perfect. ＊Cold Dipping Noodles** Summer special. I really enjoyed this soupless ramen as it is served cold. Very refreshing on hot days. The dipping sauce is miso-based with chilli powder on the side. The sauce is thicker and richer than the white miso, and the thick noodles hold up well to the sauce. Keep in mind both ramen come with many bean sprouts. Personally not a fan but my friend loved them. read more

The ramen here is so good! I really like the broth and the wavy noodles. The tuna was very fresh and thin and the fried chicken was juicy and came in big pieces! This location is in a basement setting, but there is WiFi and lots of seating inside. The service was also great! I have not checked out their East Village location to compare, but I would come back to this one. read more

Found this place while in the area and it was a wonderful choice. The ramen was very yummy. I also tried the shishito peppers which were great as well. Such a cute place and we luckily missed the rush. My brother tried the ramen and chicken karaage lunch special and he enjoyed it. The server was very nice and attentive. read more

This was my second time visiting Misoya, and it was just as satisfying as the first! They have a very extensive menu with several different types of broths. They also have several specials. The first time I visited, I also tried the yuzu sake, which was very tasty. The ramen comes out quickly and is filled to the brim. I've tried a lot of ramen in NYC, and I will say Misoya serves the most noodles. I swear the bowl is full of noodles. I was able to take home a lot of leftovers. The cha-shu pork is tender and thinly sliced. The chicken cutlet was crispy and cooked to perfection. The broth was flavorful (although a little salty for my taste), and the fried tofu was a nice touch, as well. It can be a little difficult to find this place. It is actually underground. The directions brought me to a bagel shop; Misoya is underneath the bagel shop in the basement unit. Once you enter, you find a well-lit, well-decorated, homey restaurant that you typically wouldn't expect from a basement unit. It's also in the West Village, so there are plenty of great dessert options nearby. This is a solid ramen spot and a great option the next time you're in the West Village. read more

My friend and I decided to check out Misoya around 7:15pm on a Saturday due to the glowing reviews on Google and Yelp. The restaurant is a bit hidden so when you get to the right corner, just go down the stairs, through some doors, and you will find it! I was shocked that we could get seated immediately, and it seemed like we just beat out the rush. The interior is small and simple. We ordered Kome Miso Ramen ($14) and Kome Miso Spicy Vegetarian Ramen ($15). I was very surprised by the price, especially given the location. I am a huge fan of miso ramen, so anything here would probably satisfy me. The highlights of the dish were the chewy noodles and the miso egg! My friend mentioned that the spicy ramen was not as spicy as it could be, so it may not satisfy you if you like a strong kick. Service here was terrific! There were several checkbacks and water refills. The two staff members helping us were so kind and courteous. If you are in the area, warm up with tasty miso ramen at Misoya! read more

Ramen Misoya - $14: Kome Miso Ramen - Ramen Near Me - New York, New York

RATING: 7.5/10 PRO TIP: Whatever you do make sure to try their chashu. It's actually really delicious. KOME MISO CHASHU RAMEN The "one to get" on the menu, with nice chewy noodles, perfectly cooked jammy egg and light flavorful broth. The broth is def on the lighter side, and not as bold as I would have liked but feels less heavy than other places. The chashu though was amazing - nice and thick slab of pork with a bit of a crisp on the edges and savory saltiness just running throughout. Really the star of the show here. EBI SHRIMP DUMPLINGS Feels handmade, the gyoza skin is quite soft, and i was hoping for more of a crisp and the shrimp itself is surrounded in some sort of batter that made the interior kind of mushy, not super salty. Not sure if I would get again but love the homemade touch. FINAL CATEGORY: GOOD (terrible / bad / ok / GOOD / great / excellent) read more

Wasn't able to take photos. The place has a cool and quiet vibe, it's tucked away as you have to walk downstairs into a basement that turns into a bright modern ramen bar that has scents of light wood and white everywhere. The gyoza were decent and had a nice crisp to them. The shishito peppers were typical as what you were to imagine in your head when you think "shishito peppers." My ramen was good, the broth was clean and flavorful and I got extra veggies as I wasn't in a huge mood for a lot of meat. They may have found a way to defy physics...the ramen was boiling hot until I finished the last drop. I'd gladfully come back. read more

I'm mad y'all moved away from the east village but y'all were delicious and will priced

Excellent Ramen with good service and a lot of variety. This is one of those places you can go 5-10 times and not get bored. Unlike a lot of places where there's maybe four ramen selections, they provide multiple styles, along with seasonal specials, and seem to do them all well. There's the standard tonkotsu broth, but then there's red and normal miso styles, and for winter, there's a curry-miso ramen. My only complaint is that maybe their chasu could be a bit more flavorful and tender, but it's still pretty good, all things considered. Service is friendly and enthusiastic. There's a somewhat clean and minimalistic aesthetic to the place; a bit less homey, a bit more modern, if that makes sense. There's a fair amount of seating, including counter, 2-tops, 4-tops, and so on. Bathrooms: Clean, functional, and spacious. read more

We dined here tonight at a charming ramen spot in the West Village. It was a bit tricky to find initially since it's located downstairs from street level.

The service was both quick and friendly. We would definitely return. read more

Ramen Misoya - 1. Kome Miso Cha-Shu Ramen - Ramen Near Me - New York, New York

This is a hidden gem found in the corner of Charles & Hudson St. I had a hard time looking for this place until my friend told me it's located underground. We came around 6:45pm on a Saturday and the wait was about 25 minutes. It got really busy after 7pm. It's a small ramen spot and I love the atmosphere. Really enjoy the music they play; super chill and relaxing. The prices are really reasonable considering it's New York. They don't serve hard liquor but they do offer sake, wine and beer. The cup sakes were $10 each. The gyozas were super delicious. One of the best I've had at a Japanese ramen spot. The bottom of the gyozas came out super crispy and came with a lot of filling which we all enjoyed. The chicken karaage was also a good appetizer. They were lightly battered and super tender. Came with a sweet soy sauce with green onions and sesame oil. I highly recommend the Kome Miso Ramen with a side order of the spicy paste ($2). It comes with 3 pieces of chashu and a bunch of ingredients such as bamboo shoots, corn, egg, bean sprouts, etc. So worth it for $17! Also, the noodles are cooked the way I love it (al dente). Service was great! Super nice and friendly servers. Only suggestion we gave them was to open a Misoya in LA, lol. Yes, we enjoyed it that much! read more

Surprisingly impressive ramen spot! We came in randomly as a group of five on Saturday at about 5:30pm and we were seated immediately with no wait. The spot is in the basement, but feels spacious and has a v cool vibe, like you're not even in NY. I got the spicy miso ramen (whatever was number 4 on the menu). While my preference is usually a tonkatsu ramen, this miso ramen was very flavorful. At times a bit too flavorful where I needed to wash it down with some water. The restrooms were clean and spacious, the ambiance was comfortable. They even accepted four credit cards (our fifth person left so we only asked if we can split four ways). Overall, highly recommend! read more

Despite sketchy stairs that lead into the basement, inside you enter a Haruki Murakami universe complete with Rolling Stones soundtrack. Charming decor and fast service reminiscent of Panic in Roppongi Ichome. Tasty gyoza to start, plus ramen, which traditionally comes in supersized bowls-- how about a half portion option? Enjoyable on a cold evening although one of our party found his ramen 'sweet' due to the amount of corn. read more

Stopped in on a cold fall afternoon, fantastic spicy miso ramen warmed me right up! Reasonably priced for the area as well.

One of my favorite ramen places in the area! I definitely like that they have some "different" types of ramen than your usual place: I got a cold creamy yuzu ramen which hit the spot on a hot day. Unfortunately they have pretty bad visibility from the street and was hard to find at first! You have to take an innocuous staircase down to the basement to get to it and there's only a small sign. Hope that doesn't put them out of business, would be sad to see a great place go. read more
