I was craving some ramen and stopped by Susuru Ramen! It was a pretty small space so we had to wait on a Sunday night. We got the imo tempura, which was the perfect mixture of salty and sweet and seemed to be made fresh. I got the tan tan ramen, which was good and pretty standard for tan tan. My boyfriend got the gyokai, which had a good seafood taste that made the broth richer.
Anytime we stay in Long Island city this is always our go to really good food. They give you big portions and you always have food to take home. The waitresses are always welcoming and it's such a warm cozy place. They don't have a lot of room, but you can also do takeout as well. We travel from Long Island just to come here.
Delicious ramen, no frills establishment and super friendly staff! A lovely local ramen joint great for catching up with friends!!
Garlic Edamame was so addictive, almost finished the entire plate without even realizing. Ordered the Ramen Deluxe and a Tuna Avo poke. The ramen tasted really good with a rich smooth broth which also balances out the meat and egg from the bowl. The Tuna poke lacked a bit of flavor; would prefer more mirin/umami perhaps. Poke provided fresh tuna and avocado, just the flavor profile was a bit lacking. Everything else I thoroughly enjoyed. This noodle shop is small, a crowd formed near the door.
Freaking epic ramen. A small place on the corner full of people and for good reason. Their spicy pork ramen, Tantan, was absolutely delectable, bursting with freakin' flavor (highly recommend adding the black garlic oil if you're a garlic fiend like myself). The Veggie Miso ramen offers a much milder taste, but still satisfying and full of rich umami flavor. The Takoyaki, oh my god maybe the best takoyaki I've ever had. Nice crisp outside, soft inside, and topped generously. Nice curated selection of beer and sake. Our waitress was fab, always quick on refilling waters and so friendly. Prices are pretty fair too, dinner for two with drinks and appetizer came out to less than $70. Would come back in a heartbeat.
A very comforting meal! The karaage was juicy and had some fatty pockets. The paitan was a lot lighter than other ramen I've had (even paitans). It's not too salty. The egg was cooked perfectly. The noodles had a bite to them.
I'm a fan of this corner gem of a ramen joint. Their Kuro ramen has a rich black garlic oil with tender slices of chashu pork and soft boiled egg. Plus, their shrimp katsu bun was scrumptious with a crispy skin and moist center with a creamy sauce on top. Service was fast, friendly, and helpful with ample refills of water. The place was clean, simple, and convenient. Parking can be tough on the street, but within walking distance near public transit.
Tiny hole in the wall ramen joint in a more lowkey residential part of Astoria. It is very easy to miss if you aren't looking for it. There are a few tables inside but I do not recommend for large groups. I got their paitan ramen which is chicken broth based with a unique twist on chashu (leaner cut with a chew similar to ham). The broth is satisfying, not heavy and did not leave me bloated. The noodles were chewy and is the wavy thick style. I also appreciated how it comes with a full softboiled egg by default (not a half egg like most places). I also enjoyed the spicy bite of raw onion that was added to the broth. The only ding for me was that my ramen was supposed to come with bamboo shoot topping per the menu description but was a bit disappointed that it was missing. But still would like to come back and try the black garlic oil next time.
Food: 5 Service: 5 Ambiance: 5 Very cute little shop with great flavors! Flavorful broth and love how homey the owners have made it feel. Would definitely return to try other dishes
Ate here today a warm Friday afternoon with my mom and cousin to try this place out during my spring break. We had definitely shared and ate the takoyaki and different kinds of ramen that it tasted great and delicious. The service there was also attentive, friendly and pleasant. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time.
I stopped by and ordered cucumber and chicken karaage as appetizers--wow. The chicken karaage was so crispy on the outside and perfectly juicy inside. Total perfection. For my main, I had the Tan Tan Ramen--the spicy one. It wasn't too spicy for me (I can handle heat ), but it had such a rich, flavorful broth that I kept sipping until the bowl was basically empty. And because I couldn't resist, I also ordered the Spicy Tuna Poke Bowl. The fish was fresh, juicy, and the whole bowl was super satisfying. Quick service, great flavor, and seriously crave-worthy bites. I'll definitely be back again!
A very solid ramen joint in Astoria! The chicken karaage was 10/10, huge chunks of meat, perfectly seasoned with extra black pepper on top, and very crunchy. The aioli was like a spicy mayo. I got the kuro ramen which is their normal ramen with charsu pork and black garlic oil. The broth was delicately light and the addition of chopped raw white onions makes it perfectly fragrant. The pork was smoky and well seasoned. It was the perfect comforting bowl in the winter time. It was about a 30 min wait for 2 around noon on Saturday.
Food: ramen was so yummy!! I think it's the best I've had in nyc. The pork was also seasoned well. The egg was cooked perfectly. Black garlic oil added such a nice flavor to the broth. Takoyaki balls were delicious and had a lot of filling. Service: we were seated quickly and food was made pretty fast as well. Server was nice and attended to our water needs. Ambiance: clean restaurant. Nothing to complain. Good amount of seating and wasn't overcrowded.
Ambiance (3/5): The place is tight and can not seat very many parties or large groups. We happened to get seated immediately on a busy weekend but a queue quickly formed after us. The particular weekend we went (July 5), the air conditioning unit was broken so we were melting inside. Wooden benches and stools with no backs were not comfortable. Service (4/5): There was only one server bustling back and forth. She did a great job in getting orders, refilling waters, and closing out for just her. There were times we had to flag her down. Spicy chicken wings (5/5): Perfect exterior skin crunch with not too much breading. The sauce was light and not overpowering. Deluxe (5/5) and TanTan (5/5) were both very flavorful. Slightly preferred the Tan Tan more because it had a kick and more spice. I requested some extra chili oil for the Deluxe to give it a little more flavor. However, I felt like the broth was too salty. Pork slices were thin was flavored through with not too much fat to the pieces, so it wasn't tender or rich. I love the bounce and chew of the noodles. Definitely one of the better ramen shops in the neighborhood. read more
Susuru Ramen (located just over the Long Island City border in Astoria) is a gem for its rich, simmered-for-hours chicken paitan broths, perfect noodles, and vibrant black garlic oil. However, its tiny dining room often means long wait times and limited seating. The signature chicken paitan broth is slow-cooked for 8 hours to create a rich, creamy, and flavorful milky soup. Locals highly recommend the Kuro ramen (featuring rich black garlic oil) and the Deluxe ramen. They also serve a highly rated Veggie Miso. Appetizers shine here. The Garlic Edamame and Takoyaki are fan favorites, and the Chicken Karaage is a must-try. Authentic and cozy. The space is incredibly small with limited seating and does not offer outdoor dining. Expect long wait times for a table during peak dinner and weekend hours. This food place that offers delicious savory broth paired with springy, bouncy noodles is definitely worth a try. read more

After my uncle & I visited the Museum of Moving Images, we decided to have lunch at this location since it was within walking distance. We arrived at a great time as walk-ins, a little before 12PM. There were still a few seats available. Immediately after getting our seat, the restaurant became packed and a waiting list began to form--so I definitely recommend coming a bit earlier to ensure a seat. The interior is small, but cozy. I enjoyed the cups they served us, which had a cute Susuru design. The broth of the ramen was very flavorful. The ramen noodles were a bit on the thicker side than what I'm used to at other locations, which perfectly soaked up the broth. A great gem in a convenient location! read more

Relatively good ramen spot with good quality ramen and okay atmosphere in restaurant. It can get a little loud and the service here is pretty slow though (there was only one person working as a waitress and hostess). We got the chicken karaage, which was pretty good not too salty, the susuru paitan, which had a nice light broth, and the deluxe, which has a much heavier garlic-y taste but was also pretty good. Overall, would recommend! read more

Great ramen and quick service. I love their black garlic oil, which has a rich flavor. We ordered the deluxe and gyokai. Their soup base was very flavorful. read more
Stopped by for quick lunch and delicious and quick it was! We risked it with a walk-in around 2 pm, and got lucky to get a table for five with a 10 min wait. The place is relatively small and has about five tables (which include three x 4 seater tables) Got straight to ordering which included Garlic Edamame ($7), Imo Tempura ($8), Gyoza ($9), Veggie Miso ($17), Kuro ($17), Tantan ($17), and Susuru Paitan ($16). All were delicious and I recommend getting all with Spicy Chili Oil ($1) if you enjoy spicy ramen! Service is quick and food arrives within 20 minutes. Noise levels were on the lower end and the staff is friendly and kind. read more

Susuru is quickly becoming one of my favorite ramen shops in New York, especially since I now live within walking distance to it. The chicken based ramen broth is really flavorful and the noodles are wavy with a good bite to them. My favorite order is gyoza and chicken karaage to start, following up with the Kuro ramen that comes with the black garlic oil, pork, egg and diced onions. It's a cozy little shop with a few tables, but the service is so friendly. Honestly it makes it feel like I'm back in Japan. It's totally worth making a visit here. read more
Do you live around? Stop! Oh you are so lucky!! that to have this place... is because it's really the authentic ramen that you can find in Queens!! In the cold weather This place is such an oasis and easy to warm yourself up :) They do have some craft beers which is the fun part hanging with friends! We jumped in around noon. the lunch time had just began! The place immediately got packed with locals. A friendly Japanese waiter welcomes you with great recommendations! We ordered Karaage (Deep-fried chicken) and Gyoza for appetizers! They wow you for sure. and I really appreciate how they served them before ramens. Such a Japanese way of treats when you are having drinks with. After that we all got different ramens! I got Miso one and was amazed with the fresh pulled noodles!! and Hot enough soup, Broth, all that.. we all got a happy food comma... now I miss it already! See this？5 Stars! read more
A nice ramen spot in Astoria. Small restaurant and there's usually a small waitlist during dinner. One server but they are efficient and food is worth it! Food: Gyozas - in such a small cute cast iron pan and fried so well. Oily, juicy pork! Takoyaki - also great presentation. I love how they are extra fried on the outside and soft on the inside with great octopus flavor. Tantan - not spicy but nice rich and slightly creamy flavor. Susuru Paitan - chicken broth, and good portion of meat. For both ramens, they add chopped raw onions to the topping which adds a nice flavor to the broth but for me personally, I did not enjoy the bites of raw onion. Love how they provide a whole soft-boiled egg that is cooked to perfection. Everything else: Service is friendly and efficient. The appetizers came out as they were ready and the ramen came out together which made it nice when eating with a group. read more

Ordered the Gyokai seafood broth ramen and the spicy chicken wings. Both were really delicious and made with quality ingredients. The seafood broth had a clean-tasting, bonito flavor to it which I really enjoyed. I also really liked the texture of their noodles and you can't go wrong with getting a side of their chili oil too. They have a really great selection of beers as well. Both the service and ambience were lovely. I can't wait to go back and try more of their food! What an Astoria gem. read more
Came on a Saturday around 1 PM with a friend, there aren't too many places to sit so I'm glad we came when it was not too busy. when we were leaving about an hour or two later it was a little bit of a wait. Had the Kuro Ramen, which was super delicious and would definitely recommend, along with an IPA. read more
Susuru is a ramen shop on 36th Ave serving some of the tastiest noodle soup in Astoria. Service is prompt and speedy, and the food is delicious. The chew of the noodles, the mouthfeel, is an elevated experience. It's a small restaurant that gets busy during peak hours, but they move fast. They also conduct a brisk takeout business. I recommend the Deluxe ramen for an indecisive first-timer. There's a lot of deliciousness in that bowl, including the aromatic and flavorful black garlic oil. The tantan ramen will appeal to those seeking a spicier profile, though I found it to be on the mild side. For appetizers: takoyaki, karaage chicken, and gyoza are classic and satisfying options. Susuru operates at such a high level of quality that you can't go wrong following your instincts and ordering whatever sounds best. I also like that their selection of beer and sake includes interesting fare that you can't find just anywhere. read more

My friend and I stopped by on a Monday afternoon. The restaurant feels tucked away and unassuming, but each table is filled the minute you come in. It feels like a homey authentic Japanese ramen joint. When we arrived on a Monday for lunch, there were 2 groups in front of us, but since we were only 2 people, we got our seats quickly. Parking was easy to find since we were fairly close to the residential part of Astoria. We sat down. Menus were simple to read -- only a few things to choose from, which is good. We ordered the pork gyoza, miso ramen, and a bowl of kuro ramen. The food came in a reasonable amount of time. The pork gyoza was fried on a small skillet that they bring to you. Hot, flavorful, and juiciness from the soup inside -- definitely a great pairing. I ordered the miso ramen -- the chashu pork was quite generous and tender, the chicken broth was flavorful with fats, and the noodles had the right amount of bounce that I enjoyed. The ajitama egg was soft and what I expected from an egg. All these different components made the meal quite fulfilling. I left full, but not stuffed. The service was great. It seemed like there was only one server and she was friendly, welcoming, and quick. Water was always filled. I would recommend coming here and will probably stop by next time to try the Susuru Paitan ramen. Something about the color of that broth entices me. read more
My partner and I were craving some nice good real ramen so we revisited Susuru! On a snow day at like 6pm they were pretty busy but they cleaned the table quickly and we were seated within ~10mins. This time I got soupless tantan and my partner got delux ramen. We also got gyoza for an appetizer!! Coming from Japan and being away from home, I am very grateful to have such an authentic ramen restaurant nearby! The food was delicious and especially the gyoza really reminded me of any ramen restaurants back home. My partner said the gyoza was the best he's ever had and the chashu in the noodle was again, nothing like what he's had before. And i agree, they are really really good. Inside has a nicely lit wooden accents in the restaurant. I love that they sometimes have Noren out there too! read more

3.5 stars?? This was one of the top 10 ramen places in NYC according to Beli so I decided to try it out. Came on a weekend night at around 7pm and had to wait 30-40 minutes for a seat. Reminder that you have to go inside and ask the front desk lady to be placed on the list as there's no sign up sheet outside. While we waited, my friend and I biked to Levain and ate some cookies which is always my favorite restaurant hack - eat dessert while you wait, life is short anyways. I ordered the Paitan Ramen and I thought it had some elements that were pretty good, and other ingredients that were meh. I appreciate the lightness the chicken broth although it felt a bit watered down. I thought the chasu was pretty interesting as it kind of reminded me of pastrami with the seasoning rub on its outside. Also I appreciate it was thick cut. The other parts of the ramen were not great - I didn't love the egg as it didn't have enough flavor and the noodles itself seemed like it came from a packet. Overall, would not say it's a top 10 ramen in NYC. However, +1 for the hardworking service lady who was handling the entire front facing part of the restaurant by herself. read more

Food; Ordered the Kura - a chicken based ramen. Pretty good. Noodles were good. My girlfriend ordered the Tantan. I would order this one if I came back. The spice they added gave the soup a nice spicy peppery kick. Pretty good soup if you like spice. Takoyaki were excellent. 6balls with great octopus to breading ratio. Crispy, hot and delicious. Ambiance: Small restaurant that does well with the space. Service; Had only one server and was so so busy. Service was great. Water refills. Food came out quick and orderly. Will come back again for the Takoyaki and Tantan next time I'm in the mood for chicken based ramen in the area. (Definitely still a pork ramen guy though) read more

My visit here was perfection during one of the first cold afternoons this season. A small establishment that thankfully didn't get too overcrowded while we dined. The server plays every role: hostess, server, runner, takeout manager, cashier, etc. You can see that service slows down a bit with just one person doing everything. But as long as you're not in a rush, this is a delectable experience. While the ramen was good, it didn't stand out too much more than any other quality ramen restaurant. The chashu pork, though, was noticeably better than other ramens I've had. The standout, however, was the takoyaki appetizer! Absolutely the best I've ever tasted. Perfect batter, octopus chunks, flavor, everything. And it arrived on an adorable molded serving dish so that every little ball had its own little snug fitting place. I can see why this place has near perfect ratings. You almost don't want to post about it and attract more crowds! read more

Ramen was exactly what we needed on a cold December night! - restaurant is quite small with only about 10 tables. Went around 7:30pm and waited about 15-20min which isn't too bad - there was only 1 waitress working but she seemed friendly and nice - we got the Kuro and Miso ramen, they use the thick wavey noodles so there's a nice chew to them - Both $17 each and and also came with 2 thick pieces of chasiu and 1 ajitsuke tamago (ramen egg) - would give this a 4/5 in taste as well as the broth was a little thicker than usual and temperature was on the warmer side than hot. kuro noodles were on the more Al dente side while the miso noodles were softer and cooked more - good alternative if you're craving ramen and don't want to go into the city read more
