I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed Susukina. We came here for dinner. Just a short walk from our hotel in FiDi. While I was a little worried about finding something I would like on the menu (based off pictures from other Yelpers), the actual menu has MUCH more options, including a sashimi set, bento box, and don. I came here STARVING, so I ordered a sashimi bento box with miso soup. The fish was very thiccc and fresh. And there was lots of food that came with the bento to fill me up. Best part was that the restaurant wasn't too crowded, which made for a very relaxing meal. read more

Ordered takeout from here. We ordered a 3 roll combo with sweet potato, eel cucumber, and salmon avocado. It came with a side of seaweed salad. We ordered an extra salmon avocado roll. Also ordered the spicy tonkatsu with extra noodles. Our order was ready in under 15 minutes and was extremely fresh. The sushi was a good portion for the price. The restaurant itself is candle-lit and very cute. Packaging was top tier. The insulated bag was very nice. The sushi box was packed to perfection. I cannot recommend this place enough. read more

SUSUKINO in the financial district of NYC is an absolute hidden gem. I stopped in for their incredible $28 dinner set which includes an appetizer, a roll, and your choice of ramen or a rice bowl. The value is amazing and the quality is even better. I sat at the bar and loved the peaceful, relaxed atmosphere that felt like a perfect escape from the busy streets outside. Since it was happy hour, I could not resist ordering the takoyaki. The fried octopus and squid balls were crispy, savory, and incredibly satisfying. For my main, I chose the ramen and it arrived piping hot and full of rich flavor. It was exactly what I needed on a cold NYC night. Everything from the food to the ambiance to the service made this a fantastic experience. I will definitely be returning. Five stars all the way. read more

Casual yet decorative, this Japanese spot in the FiDi is a great pick if you work or are visiting in this part of town for reasonably priced and loaded lunch sets. The spicy yellow tail roll that came with my lunch combo was not premium but still gratifying, and I would go back for the pork katsu and rice I chose on my first outing read more

Decided to visit Susukino for my lunch break. It really wasn't too busy. I opted for their lunch set and got the tonkotsu ramen and a salmon roll for $20. For the price, I say I would say I was happy with it and would return again. The broth wasn't the most flavorful I've had, but truthfully, I did prefer it because other ramen broths I've had in FiDi have an off-putting "strong-ness" to them after a while. I do also wish there were more noodles in the dish (first time I have ever said this). I think if you're in the area and need a ramen/sushi fix, this is your best bet! read more

I ordered take out from here for 3 people - we each got a dinner set. 2 ramens and 1 katsu don. The take out was prepared in a timely manner and was very well packaged. Overall, the food was just okay. The karaage was a bit hard. The tuna, spicy tuna, and salmon rolls were got were all good. The katsu don was also good. The ramen was okay. The noodles were medium thickness but there wasn't much of it. The broth was a bit salty and we thought it lacked a bit of depth. Overall, docking a star for our personal experience with the food but I would be willing to try the ramen again in the restaurant read more

I love ramen and this place does deliver their ramen. The lunch special was amazing and comes with a side of sushi. Ramen wise, I really enjoy their broth, it wasn't as salty and kept ramen to Japanese tradition. The sushi rolls that come with the lunch special was standardized but it's worth to get the lunch special. I however love their ambiance! It has a feel of a Japanese ramen era! The service however was extremely slow, we waited for about 35-40 minutes just to get our order. This may be a one off. I will visit again to try out other things on their menu. If you're in the neighborhood and looking to try a new local ramen spot, I would recommend stopping and support this local business! read more

Ordered the tonkostu ramen on a cold winter day. I started with a sip of the rich pork bone broth. Worked my way with bits of the toppings such as bamboo shoots, Naruto fish cakes, and these brown thin strips of crunchiness. My ramen egg was slightly cooked and no longer runny, which I was ok with. It happens. My only concern was the thick slices of cha siu pork. It has flavor but it was not tender enough for my liking. The noodles were slurpable. The umami-ness of the broth clinged on to each noodle strand. Service was prompt. Ambiance was there... People were chatting and enjoying the food and company. Just note most of their ramen is tonkostu/pork bone broth based. I would definitely go back and order the other ramen options. Pricing wise I guess it's normal for FiDi. They have a ramen lunch set for those super hungry! read more

They have considerably more business now but the service and quality has degraded. Ordered shoyu ramen set with salmon roll and agedashi tofu app. Pros: Salmon roll is nice, thick cut of meat and little rice Matcha tea is nice Cons: Ramen soup too oily, even for shoyu. If I wanted oil I'd have gotten tonkotsu.. Not enough ramen soup. Too much noodle. Ramen soup condiments not good quality and mostly bamboo and seaweed and egg. Where's the pickled red ginger? Chicken is a bit rubbery Shoyu egg was half hard boiled. Not fully silky yolk. Agedashi tofu came out after the main meal. I tried to cancel but couldn't. Not enough broth. Felt oily and under seasoned. I've had better in Rego park lol. Waitress: not very friendly feeling, no smiles until pay bill, last time was friendlier. read more

I've come here a couple of times now for lunch and dinner. Although their ramen is good, they are very stingy with their portion sizes compared to nearby places like Kuu Ramen. Their lunch special is $20 but you get a much smaller bowl of ramen and 6 small pieces of a sushi roll. You can see in the picture that the bowl is nowhere close to being full and just ONE tiny piece if chicken. And I can't even say that their regular bowl is that a good portion size well. There are much better places around. read more

Tried this spot after work with my boyfriend since it's close to my office, but it ended up being one of the worst dining experiences I've had in NYC--and we eat out daily. When we walked in, there was no host, so I paused to make eye contact with the staff before seating myself. As I walked to grab a seat, one of the waitresses mocked me to her coworker, saying, "is she just going to stare?" in a condescending tone--not realizing that she was within earshot. They both laughed and went behind the counter. From there, it only got worse. They continued to laugh and glance over at me throughout the beginning of our meal, which was so uncomfortable and incredibly unprofessional. I tried to brush it off and enjoy the food, but the ramen didn't make up for the rude service. I ordered the Susukino ramen which was overly salty with barely any truffle flavor. My boyfriend's curry ramen was better, but still not memorable. On top of getting made fun of my water was never refilled, even though his was. If you're craving ramen, please skip this place. Ramen Ishida, Ippudo, or Kame offer AMAZING ramen and respectful service. read more

Where else can you get an appetizer, sushi roll and giant bowl of ramen all for $28 in this economy? I'm pretty sure Susukino is the only spot offering food of this quality and quantity at that price. I came in here on a Monday night to catch up with an old friend and was thrilled to see their $28 dinner set offering because I was absolutely starving. I decided on Karaage as my appetizer with the Tonkotsu ramen and salmon roll. The Karaage was a hefty portion, perfectly fried, crispy and juicy. My salmon roll tasted fresh and my ramen was flavorful, though I wish it had a few more pieces of meat in it! Service here was prompt at the beginning, then they just left us alone to catch up after we were done with our meal which I appreciated. Only minus one star because this place has more than one fly hanging around the dining room but hey, its New York. read more

Solid spot with a lot of options! The Dinner Set is a great deal, if you're hungry, go with that! This was my first time ever having "real" ramen, got the Shoyu ramen. Tasted great. The chicken was just a bit tough but I would still recommend this 10 out of 10 times. Food was delivered with an insulated bag, which was cool. The pork gyoza was really good, probably my favorite of the three items. So soft, and the sauce was perfect. California roll was also made well, no complaints. read more

Decent ramen place in FiDi! I got the Tonkotsu Ramen and I liked how they added burnt garlic to the broth. The portion is filling for me but if you're a guy who eats a lot I think you might want to get extra noodles on the side since they only fill the bowl about halfway. I also tried their spicy salmon and yellowtail scallion rolls which were pretty good! And the nice thing about leaving a review for them is that you get complimentary house sake or beer :) read more

Oh, grate day, Cheesecoin fam! Cheese to meet you in NYC's Financial District, where we found Susukino Ramen, a wheel-y awesome spot after a sweaty August hike from Chinatown. We were melted, hot, and sticky, but Susukino was a cheddar-iffic oasis! We came for cold sake, and mozzarella mia, it was crisp and refreshing like dipping into a creamy fondue pot, washing away the heat. The vibe's feta-stic--think Tokyo sports bar meets cozy ramen haven with Japanese flags and murals. The staff? Provolone-level friendly, serving smiles as warm as a grilled cheese. Didn't try the food, but the smell of their Susukino Ramen with truffle broth had us cheddar-ing for more. This ain't nacho average joint--it's parmesan-tly perfect for a quick sake stop when you're swiss-piring in summer.

Susukino is just a few blocks from my office, so a coworker and I stopped in for lunch here on a random Thursday. We were able to get a table for two without a wait. They have bar seating as well, if you're dining solo and would rather not take a table. I love that you can have cooked meals here as well sushi, which means people who don't enjoy raw fish can also have options. I opted for the 3 rolls sushi lunch, which comes with a mixed salad or seaweed salad. The seaweed salad portion size was very generous and it was really good. Rolls were good as well, not super packed with rice. A solid deal for the area. My coworker had the ramen + 1 sushi roll set and she really enjoyed hers as well. Service was attentive and my water cup was always full. Food came out pretty quickly as well, so you can definitely get in/out within 1 hour. read more

I've been to the Ichiran in East Williamsburg but found this location to be more hectic and touristy, naturally.

I just defaulted to Ichiran's suggested levels for everything which made it fast and easy. Once you're at your assigned cubbyhole, you can hang your coat up on the wall behind you and fill up your water cup at the machine also behind you. You don't even see the face of the person who brings out the ramen which gives the whole process a mysterious bank teller vibe. With all this, the classic tonkotsu ramen ($23) with slender noodles nearly gets overshadowed, but don't fret since it's fantastic. I believe when you're done, you just get up and leave. Surprisingly, one of the instructional posters does not go into this.

When you walk into the restaurant, you pre-order at the touchscreen to the right of the entrance and later when you're seated you give the order receipts to the server at your window. The food at this location is obviously going to be pricier than it is in Japan (came out to around $60 for 2 people), but it is SO worth it as you can't get Ichiran anywhere else besides in Japan.

Stumbled upon this place that is Michelin guide recommended! And we totally understand why (as did…read moreeveryone else in line). Got seated at the bar after lining up ~15min before opening on a Friday morning. Smoked dashi ramen was AMAZING. The broth had so much seafoody depth, which makes sense considering we found many clams in our bowl as well! It was a bit lighter than a tonkatsu broth, but a bit heavier than a shoyu-base. The noodles were the perfect bouncy texture as well. Yuzu highball: A great refreshing complement to the heavier soup broth. Great vibes all around.

I have a shrimp allergy and politely asked if the shrimp tempura could be substituted. The server immediately said no, without offering any alternative or showing much concern. He said I can remove it myself. I said so let the shrimp inside the bowl for me to remove? WTH. For a restaurant, especially one serving customizable ramen dishes, with a allergy list post on the wall by the counter where I sat at B1, a little flexibility or empathy toward food allergies would go a long way. The interaction felt dismissive and unwelcoming, which made the overall dining experience uncomfortable. Customer service matters just as much as the food, and sadly this visit fell short. The smashed cucumber was good. Spicy dumpling was good. Ramen broth was light, not as rich or flavorful as others. There are so many good ramen places in NYC, this Chinese Ramen place has lot of room to improve.

Made to feel like you're…read moretransported to an old Japanese village, this restaurant boasts bamboo panels and clay-tiled roofs with kabuki masks and paper lanterns adorning the walls. But Kin Ramen isn't just all style and no substance. The food, too, was just as delightful as the decor. The buta bara, marinated pork belly stuffed with scallions, was wonderfully meaty and perfectly charred. It was a great dish to start. The pork chashu was creamy, the noodles had a good chew, the yolk on that boiled egg was expertly firm yet gooey. This is certainly a great date-night spot paired with an evening at the Moma. I'd come here again, and if I were hosting out-of-state guests hankering for a bowl of hot ramen, I'd definitely take them here.

As for the ramen, it was tasty, but it wasn't the best ramen I've ever had. Have I had cheaper ramen for better taste? Definitely. Is it still worth coming to try and enjoying the atmosphere? Absolutely. If you want a clean broth, this is the place to go.

This was my first time…read morestepping into a ramen joint since then, because I'm now prepared to always be disappointed now that I'm no longer trying it from the source. First of all, I LOVE the ambience and the paper lantern decor here. Took me right back to those neon streets. The staff are polite and patient; one of them even picked up my phone for me after I dropped it mid-meal. During my trip, I was converted to a soba-lover, and while I don't think this is true soba here, they have "abura soba", what they describe as a "soupless ramen" (with a thicker noodle) which I was drawn to. I got the basic one with chashu, and my, it was DELICIOUS! I was so entranced I caught myself wanting to slightly bow with an "Arigatougozaimasu" and a "Gochisousama desu" on the way out! The noodles and the saucy base were DELICIOUS. My friend found it a bit oily, but I love thicker, richer ramen bases so I savored it. We lingered and loafed during our meal and the staff did not rush us once. :) Will definitely be returning!

I ordered the tonkotsu and takoyaki. The takoyaki was really good. Perfect consistency…read more The ramen was eh. The bamboo shoots weren't the best texture. The noodles were just okay, don't think they held up the flavor of the ramen well. I wish they had an option for real chili rather than just the oil. Broth was okay but wasn't as savory as some ramens I've had. Usually I'm wanting to finish every drop of my broth and this one wasn't it. The winner was definitely the takoyaki. I did like they were playing Justin Bieber and the decor was cute. Looks like a quick spot for ramen and late night chill vibes, at 10:30pm on a Sunday night it definitely had a younger crowd.

Everything here is absolutely phenomenal. IPPUDO makes their noodles and broth on site, and those details make all the difference. The ambience is relaxed and inviting. A great way to enjoy a great meal at your pace. We showed for lunch on a Monday afternoon, and were seated and served very quickly. Our server was very engaged, and took good care of us. For starters we had the edamame and pork buns. The edamame was wonderfully garlicky, and the pork buns were simply bite sized pieces of joy between two doughy pillows. As a main meal, I ordered the Karaka Spicy ramen. It had the perfect amount of spice, and extra noodles were complimentary. I had mine with a poached egg, which blended in seamlessly with all the savory textures and flavors. While the bowl seemed almost overwhelmingly large, it was easy to enjoy in full because of how delicious it was. I've had a fair share of ramen dishes, and IPPUDO is right up there with the best.

The rich combination of garlic and pork back fat pairs perfectly with the noodles, creating a delicious bowl that is simply impossible to stop eating. You can choose your Noodle Portion from Small (120g), Regular (200g), Large (300g), or Extra Large (500g* +$3). For the Fat Level, you can select from None, Less, Regular, Mashi (Extra), or Mashi Mashi (Ultra). Similarly, the Vegetable Portion can be customized to None, Less, Regular, Mashi (Extra), or Mashi Mashi (Ultra). It's also great that you can personally adjust the amount of garlic and spiciness to your liking after your order arrives! The interior is spacious, featuring both table seating and counter seats. The restrooms are also clean. The staff members are also very kind and thoughtful. Just be careful--there is a slight step right at the entrance!

The Kara Age ($8), boneless fried chicken with spicy mayo, was super tender and full of flavor. I especially loved the spicy mayo -- it really made the dish. The Takoyaki ($6) is a must-try.

The thin white noodles were great, and I appreciated the lighter, more delicate broth -- not overly salty like some other ramen spots. I was hoping for a bit more shishito (I only got one!), but overall it was comforting and well balanced. It's a very small space with a cozy vibe, which adds to the charm. Definitely a place I'd return to.

No complaints, except that I guess I prefer Tonkostu (pork bone) over Paitan (chicken bone).

If you loved Totto's spicy paitan ramen like I did, look no further because Toribro has what you need. I only wish they offered the super spicy ramen with chili oil on the side like the good old days, but the standard spicy packs a punch too! The regular size ramen was plenty, but don't let that stop you from trying the decadent Mega with all of the toppings. The food came out hot and fast too, so my table of two was in and out in less than 45 minutes easily. The menu is pretty straightforward with few choices that are all delicious - a perfect spot for the quintessential quick bite and a fair price to match. Vibe-wise, this place is a true hole in the wall with steps leading down from street level into a basement. The inside is packed and intimate so I'd come with a small party such as a friend or a date who's into good food. There was no line when I visited on a Sunday at opening time, but it got packed quickly so be prepared to wait on the sidewalk or arrive at noon. As someone who's moved out of NYC years ago, I made an effort to visit Totto Ramen every time I come back and now Toribro has taken that spot in my itinerary.
