4. Shio Ramen
Tara M.

Roc City ramen is a small cozy restaurant. The owner was there and greeted/talked to us. We were a little confused about the parking situation. Yes you can park behind the building. Food came out quick and it was delicious. Flavors were perfect. My husband said his soft boiled egg was perfect. We also got an order of the hand made dumplings. I was in heaven

Got takeout from here, ordered two bowls of ramen, chicken gyoza and vegan curry. The takeout was not presented like most ramen places give you the broth to pour into the main bowl on the side, it came all together in one bowl. I found the broth to taste way too salty and off. The vegan curry was good till i realized there was meat in it. I called about it and they were super nice. Didnt wanna be a karen so i didnt ask for a refund was just letting them know there was meat in a vegan plate.

Brooklyn Ramen has been on my list for a while, but it's one of those places I always pass by but never have a chance to visit. It's a little homey, has that hole in the wall feel and mildly cafeteria like. Parking is a little tricky because it's in the back; I imagine it can get hard to get in and out if they get busy. Got the spicy miso and the beef curry. Price is 12$ for the ramen and 8$ for curry if I'm not wrong and we added the miring egg to add to the ramen. Ordered at the counter with 2 chefs in the back, and self service for putting back your bowls and dishes. Ramen: broth is definitely flavorful here, but it leans toward too salty for me. I could not drink the broth because the salt was quite overpowering. That, or maybe the broth became very concentrated in the pot from time. Noodles were ok, not rubbery and tasted fresh. The miring drunken eggs paired nicely with the ramen. If you're someone who likes strong and salty flavors, then this ramen is great. It may be too overpowering for others. Japanese beef curry: good flavor. Not dull or overwatered down curry mix. It has potato and carrot over good sushi like rice. I think Brooklyn Ramen's food is pretty good. Their menu is small but quality over quantity. The portions aren't big, so you may get hungry in a couple of hours. I do wish that the presentation and aesthetics were a little better, because that can add to the dining experience. Bowls were hard plastic which made the dish rickety despite it's strong flavors. Most ramen is served in ceramic or china bowls. I liked their food to maybe come back, but I felt the overall rickety experience would have me go to College town's Tai chi bubble tea and ramen over this place for now.

Fantastic food great service, would definitely recommend if you are in the area. Great atmosphere

I was slow to come here reading reviews of small portion sizes, and yeah it's not like a giant bowl of pho but it's good and it's not like a dixie cup o soup. The beef curry is like a home version of beef stew with curry in it, good gravy, gravy, gravy. Tender flavorful and so much gravy. I had the spicy ramen extra spicy which was just right, the egg is perfectly cooked so order that little darling for sure. There's a reward card so I'll be a regular soon, and I might just take you cause then I get more stamps.

I really enjoy Asian Cuisine and it's nice that I can find a Spicy Curry dish when I'm craving that. I really enjoy what Mike creates here. The portions are perfect, the ambiance is subtle, and the food just draws you into it. Very Flavorful, yet very filling. It brings me back to Japan. I've eaten at both the Alexander location and at the Cornhill Landing location. The Cornhill Landing Restaurant has a larger menu including Sushi. If you're looking for a Japanese Curry dish, check out Roc City Ramen, tell Mike, Matt sent you, as you'll not be disappointed. I'm looking forward to going again.

The food was somehow better than before! Incredible! Love the small vibe of the interior, staff were amazing and food arrived fast! Always recommend!!

Shoyu ramen
Danielle S.

Brooklyn Ramen was a great choice on this 2°F night. The inside has several tables and booths set up, plus bar stools at the counter. I ordered the Shoyu ramen and gyoza. It took a little while to place my order (with only two people in line in front of me), since the person taking orders was also helping putting the ramen together. Once I did order, though, it wasn't long before I got my food. It seems like they're still working out the kinks of their service model, but it didn't bother me too much since I know they opened up just a few months ago. The food was very good. The gyoza were freshly made and tasted great. The ramen portion looked small at first but was surprisingly filling. I thought the noodles were perfectly cooked (al dente). I've been to other places where the noodles got soggy pretty fast, but these stayed al dente. The broth was also fantastic. I'll be back to Brooklyn Ramen for sure. I want to try the Spicy Miso next. I'm glad Rochester has a dedicated ramen restaurant and I'm excited to see them grow! PS - They have parking in the back of the building. Don't park at the Dunkin Donuts next door.

Really homey atmosphere here. And the ramen is great! Definitely a place to check out if you're trying to find the best ramen places in Rochester.

Spicy Miso Tonkotsu ramen
Jessica K.

I've had so many bad ramen experiences from not so big cities before but this ramen shop was a pleasant surprise. This is a self service type restaurant where you order your food from the counter and pick it up yourself. There's a pitcher of water and cups available for you to get if you are not ordering drinks. I ordered the spicy miso ramen and the broth had great deep flavors and umami. The noodles quality was also decent and has that firm ramen noodle texture as it should. I wish ordered the egg; I was not aware that the egg had to be ordered separately at the time. The only downside about this place is that for the price I think they can have a larger portion or just create a larger portion option in general. Overall I would recommend this place for a quick bite.

1. Tonkotsu Ramen
Jennifer C.

Man I was expecting more. I'm coming from Houston where the Ramen is authentic and flavorful. This place smelled great, the staff seemed friendly enough, but the food...man on man. I ordered the tonkotsu and my husband got the miso. My broth had no flavor to it. Tasted like water with pork. The noodles were cooked well and the ingredients seemed fresh, but it was not at all savory. My husband's miso was slightly better. It had a bit more depth to it, but very different from the Ramen I am used to. Unfortunately, we will not be back to this place.

Spicy miso tonkotsu
Hannah L.

If I'm in a city other than my own, I've gotta try their local ramen joints, and I was so happy to have been able to try Brooklyn Ramen! Very casual atmosphere. Lots of seating and the ability to order at the register and chill, which I like. Staff was super friendly and accommodating. The size of the bowl you're paying for is pretty on-par for what you'd expect at the price point of $10-12 for each option. Not too big, not too small. I got the Spicy Miso tonkotsu. Noodles and vegetables were spot on, but I wasn't as impressed with the broth and pork. There wasn't as much spice as I was expecting, the miso flavor overpowered any existing flavor of spice. My cuts of pork were pretty tough and were not easy to eat/cut into by any means. If I could give 3.5/5 stars I would. I enjoyed my experience here, nonetheless, and would happily go back next time I find myself in Roc city.

Flavor profile was just not there - ordered 2 different ramens and gyoza and expected more out of it.

Where is the menu listed for take-out orders?

Brooklynramenrochester.com Same for Facebook and Instagram Have a great day!

How are the vegetarian options?

Yes. We have a vegan/vegetarian miso ramen. Our noodles are eggless. If you chose to get the soft boiled egg though, there in lies the difference. We also prepare vegan dumplings with tofu substituted for the pork and egg.

I came back to Rochester for Meliora Weekend as an alumni, and I knew I had to go back to Taichi. I…read moreabsolutely loved it here as an undergrad, and I was pleased to find that its taste and quality has not gone down! Their ingredients are super fresh, and their bubble tea complements our sushi bowls. Portions are also huge, so I was completely stuffed for the rest of the day after this meal. Service was also friendly and quick.

Went there today, and it had to be the worst experience at a Taichi that I've ever had. It wasn't…read morebusy at all, yet everyone was acting extremely slow and lost. Literally no one seemed to know what they were doing. They were all extremely awkward and seemed much more interested in talking to each other about outside stuff than actually practicing good customer service. I used to work at the Taichi in Irondequoit, and at our store, we got people in and out. I waited for two drinks, and I kid you not, it took 20 whole minutes. I watched my two cups of boba sit in the back for about 10 minutes while the girl kept reading the receipt over and over, then walking away. When she finally made and sealed both drinks, she put them on a table in the back and went to fill the ice bucket. She then stayed in the back talking to other employees. The drinks sat on that table for another five minutes until I finally asked the girl at the register if I could get my drinks. Mind you, she was also having a full conversation with the other employees in the front. She finally said, "Oh yes, sorry." The whole experience was extremely frustrating. Everyone seemed completely lost, there was no sense of urgency whatsoever, and the customer service was honestly terrible. I understand not every day is perfect, but this was ridiculous, especially considering the store wasn't even busy. I will never, ever come back here again.

Just my kind of place! Small unassuming place you would miss if you didn't have a GPS…read more So I was in the mood for Japanese takeout and this place nailed it. Very good menu with lots of choices. Reasonably priced and extremely friendly service. Inside doesn't have much in the way of seating which is fine. Actually a small Asian grocery is part of this place. So cool. The food is fresh, carefully prepared (looks pretty and appetizing) and tasty. Spicy ginger pork was very yummy. Not too much spice. Gyoza were amazing. I could make a meal out of that. Shrimp dumplings were ok. Could be from frozen. Sushi was good. Fresh, nothing crazy but it is a side along with the box. Lots of food for the price. I mean look at the pic! I will def be back!

Our first time getting takeout. Ordering on the phone was easy and our order was ready in 20 min…read more The chefs separated our rolls so we'd each have a box. I did this because sometimes my partner eats my rolls, and his, and I end up with less. Gotta protect my sushi!!! Anyway, very fresh and tasty. Chopsticks and soy sauce included. I thought my spicy rolls (one tuna and one salmon) and avocado-salmon roll had a lot of rice - I was stuffed and could not finish 3 rolls - and could have used more filling (i.e., more fish). Hubby enjoyed his roll and the à la carte sushi and gyoza. We will definitely order from here again, but I would not order the spicy rolls due to the rice:fish ratio.
