When there's a ramen craving I just can't kick, South Slope Ramen does the trick. (Not trying to create a jingle, I swear.) Clearly I'm not alone, because often when I pass by, there's a swarm of delivery drivers waiting to pick up the goods for noodle-soup-fiending customers. I usually opt for the clearer broths vs. the richer, creamier ones, so my go-to is the classic shoyu ramen with its comforting and flavorful pork and chicken bone broth. I've also had the kimchi ramen, birria beef ramen, and tan tan ramen. Their wavy noodles are nice and bouncy, and their half-boiled ajitama egg is always a good addition (though not as spot on as it used to be). Their broths can be a little saltier than I'd like, though. While this doesn't rank in my top three NYC ramen spots or anything, it's a great option to have in the area. read more

i ordered south slope ramen for delivery and tried their chicken option. by the time the food came, the broth was still hot and paired really well with the noodles and chicken. overall, this had more of a chicken noodle soup taste. it felt very fresh but still hearty. the noodles felt like they were handmade and fresh and had a nice texture. the chicken portion was a little bit on the smaller side for the amount of soup, however i overall really enjoyed this ramen and would consider ordering again in the future. read more

South Slope Ramen - Chicken Paitan Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I've ordered in and dined here. I've enjoyed my ramen both ways. The staff has always been really friendly when I went in person, and for the quality and quantity of the ramen I would say the price is affordable. read more

We checked this place out recently for dinner and had a good time. The location is small so there's not a lot of seating inside, but we ordered our gyoza and ramen to go. On a cold night, the ramen was just what we needed. The gyoza was good. Our daughter enjoyed her butter noodles. We would definitely order from here again. read more

South Slope Ramen -- 4 stars South Slope Ramen is one of those places that gets a lot right, often beautifully. Their classic pork katsu is a standout -- crisp, flavorful, just the kind of thing you want a ramen shop to also do well. Almost everything else I've tried there has delivered, the curry ramen is something I genuinely adore, and their other variants often hit. But here's the thing: their mainstay ramen (the more "traditional" bowl) isn't their best work, at least for me. The soy / classic style doesn't land the way I'd hope. It's not bad, but it doesn't shine compared to their cast of supporting dishes. So yes, four stars. Because a ramen shop where everything else is excellent still deserves respect, even if their flagship dish is squaring off in second place. read more

The ramen was very mild and skimpy on ingredients. Many other ramen shops for 15-18 dollars provide 3-4 pieces of chasu, whereas this restaurant provides only two thin slices and charged almost 5 dollars for an extra side of it. Their toppings are outrageously overpriced and unfortunately the quality of their ramen is also below average. The service is also very inconsistent and slow, where the person who ordered one bowl of ramen before I ordered mine got his 20 minutes before mine arrived. So just be mindful if you're in a rush. Thank you for reading and best of luck! (: read more

We were coming from a birthday party and looking for some ramen. Someone at the party said this place was ok! Not an overwhelming recommendation, but I'd agree. Service is great. Prices are reasonable. Plenty of seating on a chilly night. I can't find the name of my ramen, but it was the "house" special. It was ok! I had it with the wavy noodles. My wife had the tan tan and felt the same. My general view of ramen is that all is enjoyable. I've never had bad ramen, just OK and great. This is in the OK category. Kids had the noodles with butter. Next time, we would just get a side of noodles. I guess they were too buttery? (I don't understand either.) read more

South Slope Ramen - Tan Tan and their Home Ramen (name forgotten) - Ramen Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Reviewing this restaurant as the vegetarian miso ramen sits in stomach. Unfortunately it is not new to my stomach. I ate it about 6 hours ago and I am still feeling the discomfort at 4 am. I made the wrong decision of ordering this meal and omg. The ramen tastes awful. I was hungry coming home from work plus I paid about 30$ so I had to have a few bites until I could not take it any longer. It has a metallic omami flavor in an unpleasant way and leaves the worst aftertaste I had to brush a couple times. In no shape or form have I tried anything that bad, even though it looked good when I got it. Would recommend it only to my enemies. Hope that helps read more

A "at home" feeling in this restaurant! Although decor is not much of an attraction, the food is quite delicious. Came here after a workout and it was quite refreshing! Service was fast and the waitress was very nice! Also the prices?... PERFECT! Reasonable for Ramen -Ramen-fanatic read more

Service was really, really poor. I felt invisible the whole time. The Ramen was decent, but not worth it.

The ramen is delicious - I don't really need to say more do I!? If you're here of course try the signature ramen - I got it with straight noodles and the pork cha shu. Those are both my call outs, the noodles were so good and bouncy, and the cha shu was just a tad more fatty than usual, just how I like it! We also got the gyoza, seaweed salad, and the chicken fried rice. The chicken fried rice was highly recommended but I thought it was a bit too soft, which was the draw but personally I like it on the crispy side! Overall a great spot in South Slope and super popular for takeaway, there were deliveries leaving nonstop. There are about 5 tables that can sit 4 people each - if you have a bigger party definitely call ahead! read more

This place has an inflated rating due to hipsters not knowing what real ramen is. I'm sorry but the food here is just mediocre at best. Expensive prices for subpar ramen I really expected better. Prices are very high for what you get. $8.00 for fried tentacles and I can count how many? (Like 8-10?) sorry I'm pretty disappointed. Also., turn the damn air conditioning up. We're all eating ramen. Some spicy some not. All of them pretty much with boiling broth. Ordered edamame, tentacles, Japanese sausages, two ramens and it was all just okay. Ran out of water and they didn't refill it. Service was okay but they didn't check on us or refill our water carafe. It's only four tables.... Worry about you patrons more than the Grubhub meals. You offer 15% dine in discounts but does that mean I get 85% service? Sorely disappointed with the entire experience. read more

Amazing amazing ramen! I have been to pretty much every ramen place in New York that is considered good and this place is 100% the best. Their original ramen is amazing and I crave it. Very great service and kind people. Honeslty unsure why the reviews aren't even better but maybe because there aren't enough yet. More people should go! read more

Great ramen and amazing service. The specials were delicious and decently priced, compared to the rest of the menu. Our food can quickly and was clearly very fresh. Will come again. read more

Unreal! My partner had seen this restaurant while walking around the area and wanted to try it. We came in on a slow Sunday and got the place to ourselves. It's self-seating but we were still greeted by the waiting staff and brought water and menus quickly. Good vibes! I ordered the Pai Tan ramen, with straight noodles in their house-made pork and beef bone broth. It came with pork cha-shu slices and a perfect soft-boiled egg. The pork cha-shu was top notch and fell apart in my mouth. Very flavorful and cooked with care. The broth was so good. Unreal. There were little tiny bits of toasted garlic that floated on top of the soup, and they were so flavorful and crunchy. At some ramen restaurants, there is a ton of oil and not much flavor in it, but this was the total opposite. My first sip of soup was so delicious! I will definitely be coming back read more

This ramen was not good. I got the Tan Tan and couldn't even force myself to finish it. I also got the wings and didn't like them either, too bread. The brussels sprouts were really good though. Would not order from here again. read more

I was starving so I Uber Eats their poke bowl. I should have stuck with Ramen as I usually do. It was suppose to be tuna and salmon but I needed a magnifying glass to find it in this bowl. The fish was cooked from the hot rice. Not appetizing at all! It was absolutely the most uneventful culinary experience I've had in a long time. I'm left HANGRY after this order. Guess I'll head to my kitchen to cook. Something I should have probably done from the beginning. NOTE: The ramen is usually good so if you order from here only get that. Good luck! read more

South Slope Ramen - Salmon and tuna poke bowl. Not worth the price. Had better elsewhere. - Ramen Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

We made two stops here during our stay in New York this past weekend. It was extremely surprising to find out none of the local ramen spots offered mayu :'( SMH As we drove over the bridge heading into Brooklyn, I searched for a Ramen spot and called around before settling on Slope. I decided on slope because they had other choices besides pork. We ordered and picked up then took it home and was thrown back by the flavor of their chicken ramen broth. I quickly took the noodles out because they didn't add anything except a chew and I be didn't want them to continue to soak up all my good broth. I was not feeling well the next day and needed soup to settle my stomach; plus it was raining so . . . RAIN = RAMEN everytime in my book! This time we dined in and I didn't barely eat any of it but knees to order without the noodles and was offered rice instead. My guy enjoyed his and I enjoyed as much as I could. We'll definitely be back when we're in NY again hopefully they'll stand out and add some mayu to they're menu. read more

I have now tried their Pai Tan, Miso, and Dan Dan Ramen (I have tried their chashu but I always get ground pork as my choice of protein) as well as their Karaage Chicken. I love this place, it is my favorite spot for Ramen right now. I haven't experience any order issues or anything bad really. The ramen is always super consistent and delicious. I do have a few suggestions though: -The karaage needs better packaging for delivery. I'm sure people aren't expecting to receive "dine in" quality crisp on fried chicken that's been delivered but y'all aren't helping by throwing hot and crispy chicken onto cold and wet cabbage and lettuce. Like cmon now, that's amateur ish. I saw in pictures that the chicken was delivered in a container with sauce all over the place and greens and specifically asked them to put the sauce on the side. I feel like that should just be a given. The chicken also needed more flavor. A sprinkle of salt after frying, some five spice, or maybe more seasoning in the batter. Either way, something's gotta give. -I know times are hard and all, but only giving guests one half of an egg for the ramen bowls is stingy and y'all are better than that. Especially when you're charging almost $3 for extra egg add on and it's a whole one. I would still pay for extra egg even if they gave a whole one in the bowls as is. That's one consistent negative mentioned in other reviews that I agree with. Their add ons are really expensive, you can add two things to a bowl and it'll go from $15 to $22 real quick. All I'm saying is you catch more bees with honey. Loosen up a little bit. An extra scoop of corn should not be $2. Let's be real. Still love y'all though. read more

This place is very good my two problems is the quantity and the Cost. They bang you out cost wise but the quantity of what you get is small compared to other places read more

I don't even usually like ramen and I'm vegetarian, which makes it hard to find something good; but this place is awesome and their veggie ramen was delicious read more

I love this ramen place!! Cute, clean environment. The employees are so friendly and accommodating. The food is tasty, fresh and authentic. I love spicy so I added kimchi and sriracha to my veg ramen and it was one of the best! We also got the panda sake and it was so smooth and delicious. read more

Ramen!! Love ramen! Ordered through seamless the other day for lunch for the first time. I ordered the Pai Tan Ramen with some extras; Spicy ground pork, bamboo shoots, corn, bean sprouts and kikurage mushrooms. I absolutely loved how they had so many options to add, a lot of places in the area don't let you even ask for changes or adds to your ramen. I thought the ramen was awesome, the broth had a ton of depth and flavor. I loved that they kept the broth separate with delivery. No overcooked noodles for me! I got the ground pork on the side as I didn't know how spicy it was but I was kind of a little disappointed with the spice level. I was thinking it would have more heat. But I still really enjoyed the whole meal. read more

South Slope Ramen - Pai Tan Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This review is solely from a delivery perspective. I was extremely disappointed in the Kara Age. Even though the chicken was flavorful, the meat was dry. I can't comment too much on crunch factor since I know on route, the steam alters it's crunchy exterior. Potato salad was also disappointing. Lacks flavor and also expensive through delivery apps especially for the amount you receive. Definitely not worth it. Birria Beef Ramen: I've been dying to try this after seeing it all over social media. Honestly it wasn't bad but it was missing something that I can't quite put my tongue on. Maybe more cilantro and onion. The beef was super tender. Not sure I would order it again though. Will have to stick with traditional ramen. read more

Excellent addition to the area and a straightforward, no-fuss experience. Of course I've visited on cold nights when I needed a quick yet satisfying meal. The neon signs beckoned me in from the street one night on that search. I was wary at first because South Slope hasn't struck me as a neighborhood with these kinds of options, but that is precisely the reason why they should be here. First time, I ordered their house ramen and second time a miso one to attempt a lighter fare. The bowls are big and heaping, so portion for price is excellent. The noodles are exactly as they should be and the other ingredients, like soft boiled egg, round out the deliciousness. The slight cons are the broths and the pork, if you choose that for a meat. The broths do not wow me. Flavorful for sure, but they leave with a slightly heavier feeling than other ramen shops. Their signature broth mixture also stand out from others I've had, though in the solid 7s. Both times, the pork, however, was not piping hot from being flamed right before serving like Minca or melt in your mouth tender (also like Minca, haha, and other places). Everything else about the bowl is hot, except for the meat topping, and that just seems odd to me. Aside from this, I like the looks and convenience of this place. This will definitely be a spot to get me through several more cold nights the rest of winter! read more

South Slope Ramen delivered unto me a lovely lunch today. My date and I sat at a two-top in the middle of the restaurant. The waiter gave us menus and glasses of water. I snapped some photos of the new menu: lunch specials have gone up to $15 each. Still, that's probably the best way to explore the menu; each lunch special pairs an appetizer with a bowl of ramen, PLENTY of food. I picked the half curry (katsu chicken, curry, rice) and the classic shoyu ramen. The curry arrived first. Lots of chicken, cooked in a flavorful, manageably spicy curry. Add white rice for delicious bites. My date got the karaage chicken, which also was great dipped in curry. That kind of flavor combo is a power move. The ramen was astounding. The shoyu broth exactly nailed my personal ideal flavor profile. The chashu pork, green onions, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, and hard-boiled egg, in conjunction with the springy noodles, were like a jazz ensemble, taking turns improvising on my tongue. "Let the music play," I thought, slurping medium-loudly. I had fair expectations going in, and South Slope Ramen totally blew me away. Will definitely keep in mind next time I'm in the mood for delicious Japanese noodle soup, chicken, and/or curry. read more

This place will do in a pinch but it's still a miss with their pork bone broth. I was really looking forward to a ramen place opening up closer by me but it's still not as good as some other ramen places up the hill on 7th ave. I tried their Classic Shoyu ramen with pork char su, the pork dumplings and the fried squid tentacles. The wavy noodles was cooked perfectly and the 2 thinly sliced pork char su was tender. This is also the first place I've seen which gives you a whole egg instead of just half an egg. The broth unfortunately was just too watery and not a rich pork bone broth I was expecting. Part of what makes a bowl of ramen great is the broth that it's served in. The pork dumpling was good. Nice meaty texture that was not too firm (too much meat) and not too loose (too much filler). The fried squid tentacle was also a miss. Way too much batter and over fried. Also, it's not really tentacle but more like little squid heads. Overall, a cute cozy spot with super friendly service in South Slope. Room for improvements, not a total write off. I won't mind going back to try other items off their menu. read more

This is my first time at South Slope Ramen. It's a little out the way for me but I wanted to give it a try. I ordered the Miso Ramen with Chicken. It was good. But what I enjoyed was the service. The server Kaylyn was very personable and pleasant. It's a cute little spot. If I lived closer, I would definitely make this my Ramen spot. read more

I ordered the veggie miso ramen via Doordash and they were OK. Nothing extraordinary except for the packing. Very well packed and sealed. The miso broth had a subtle miso flavor, the veggies (snappeas, corn, bamboo shoots) and the ramen noodle were okay, the quantity was pretty good but lacked flavor. I need the flavor bomb while having a hot ramen on a cold winter afternoon. read more

I really like the ramen broth and diverse selection of appetizers! To be transparent- my favorite part of Japanese meals are the appetizers- they have fried chicken, fried squid tentacles, potatoes croquettes, edamame, octopus balls and well ... more!! They also have curry fried chicken and kids portion ramen which is sort of cool! The only reason that I gave them 4 instead of 5 is that in my delivery they forgot my char siu for my ramen. I hope that their doors stay open! I really like they and the ramen supply they provide for our neighborhood!! read more

The ramen was so delicious and just what I needed on a rainy Saturday. I got the Pai Tan Ramen and my boyfriend got the Kimchi ramen which were both exceptional. We also got a seaweed salad which was also good. Definitely recommend to anyone in the area. They have upgraded their menu and have some great stuff. It is a nice and cozy restaurant and service was great, even with the high amounts of orders. Support this small business, it's a great place. read more

Ridiculous. How these people advertise something so small for that high a price, you would think they would be selling something larger. Their pictures on Uber Eats are also misleading as it looks comparatively larger on their menu pictures. $5 for a dessert that looks like half a half of a slice.

I wanted to find another ramen place other than my normal go-to and this did not disappoint. Had their pai tan ramen and it was absolutely delicious. The broth is a little lighter than a normal pork based broth, but still packs a punch in flavor. You won't feel guilty eating a whole bowl of this. Also tried the birria beef ramen. It's good, but I still prefer the pai tan. Very friendly staff and when we went, they also had a 15% off offer as well. Will definitely be back to try their other options! read more
