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.

We arrived at 12pm on Sunday, when they opened and I was surprised to see that we were the first ones there. The ambiance was cozy and upscale. We loved the bench seating with our kids, very spacious ( i think 6 adults could squeeze). Small wooden bowls for the kids to share a ramen. My wife ordered the spicy miso, I ordered the special Yuzu ramen and the kids split the Shoyu ramen. We also ordered some chicken yakitori and sweet potato fries to share. Food came out quickly and everything tasted good. The yuzu takes a little getting used to (tangy but savory), but my wife loved it. I would definitely come back.

Rating: 4/10 Date Last Visited: 1/18/2026…read more I ordered the Chicken Karaage ($10) and Deluxe Tonkotsu Black Garlic ($22). The karaage was great, one of the best I've had at a ramen restaurant. The tonkotsu ramen was decent. The chashu was great and the garlic added some flavor, but it was a bit too salty for me. The soup felt heavy and the noodles were just decent. I think the ramen is pretty overpriced for the quality and portion size. For over $20, the ramen didn't feel special at all. Overall, I would only recommend this place if you want decent ramen but I think there's plenty of other spots in the area worth checking out.

But I completely understand why this spot is usually so packed because it's goddamn good! The husband ordered the Tonkotsu Jiro Ramen ($18) and I got the Tonkotsu Tsukemen ($18). For $5 more, you get a soft-boiled egg plus extra chashu, but the basic bowl was more than enough food for us. Or if you really want a challenge, they have the largest tsukemen ever for $65. I really enjoyed both the tsukemen and ramen --depending on what you're feeling. The broth is super flavorful and the noodles are thick and chewy. They also give you plenty of noodles and beansprouts, which is so satisfying. One of my favorite ramen spots in NYC. I love their simplicity with just two signature items.

TabeTomo is a ramen spot in the East Village with ramen that lives up to the recommendations I had…read moreheard. The tonkotsu ramen is the anchor of the menu, and the broth is the main event. I found it deeply flavored, porky, and built for the kind of meal that actually keeps me full. The chashu was generous and the soft boiled egg was a worthy addition to my order. Portions run large across the board, which makes the value strong relative to what I paid. The tsukemen is another reason I would keep coming back. The noodles arrived separately from the broth, which was served as a concentrated dipping base, and the interaction between the two worked really well. The broth had great texture and the noodles held up through the whole bowl. I also added the karaage chicken as a starter, and it came out crispy with a light batter, pairing well with the heavier main. The space has bar seating and the room is tight, which gave it the kind of energy that a good ramen spot should have. Service was consistently attentive and the pace of the meal moved well. Arriving earlier in the evening or on a weekday helps avoid a wait, and the strip of paper sign in system out front keeps things organized when there is a line. TabeTomo is a solid addition to the East Village ramen landscape.

The appetizers were a highlight, especially the yummy Yuzu Wings-which was my favorite. Also enjoyed the shishito peppers, the geso calamari had a nice chew. My parents enjoyed the corn ribs and gyoza. For ramen, our table tried the rich and creamy Tontoro Pork, the light and clean Jidori Chicken and the Tokyo Tsukemen with pork and flavorful fish dipping sauce. I've just returned from Japan and this is pretty authentic ramen. A special shout-out to our server, Carlos, who was attentive and made the experience even better. And a fun fact we learned: Chef Nakamura is one of the "Ramen Gods," a title earned from competing on a Japanese TV show called Ramen King, the ramen version of Iron Chef.
