    Tonkotsu Ramen
    Carissa C.

    Came here on a whim on a Friday night. We were seated right away. Waitress service fast and to the point. I got tonkotsu flavor broth, they also had a low sodium option, which I opted for. It came with mushroom, corn, soy egg, bamboo shoots, and pork belly added in bok choy for 1.5 dollars extra. Overall broth was typical and I was happy to get the low sodium option as it was flavorful. The pork was good melt in your mouth. Only thing the noodles were too chewy but overall great spot!

    The service is amazing. The ramen is crazy good. And the place looks great. I really think it deserves more people

    gyoza, spicy miso ramen, tonkotsu ramen

    price - $80 including tax and tip food - 4/5 service - 4.5/5 ambiance - 4/5 overall, this is definitely one of the better japanese restaurants serving ramen in the bay ridge area. i highly recommend the spicy miso ramen because its filled with flavor. it has a perfect balance of spice and miso flavor. the tonkotsu was good but it wasnt as good as their spicy miso ramen. their gyoza was AMAZING. it was crunchy on the outside yet moist and soft on the inside. these dumplings only contain beef so its definitely halal friendly within the bay ridge area. the service was top tier, serving us water and giving us ample time to figure out what we wanted to eat. they also checked up on us numerous times. the ambiance is definitely very chill but the chairs are slightly uncomfortable so thats something to beware of in the future. definitely try this place out!!!!

    Got the tonkotsu ramen and black garlic tonkotsu ramen at Tanoshii. There was no wait on a Friday night and the staff was very friendly. The food came out quickly and the portions were good. It's not quite traditional Japanese ramen, so beware if that's what you're looking for. Overall, the ramen was ok, flavorful but a bit salty. I subbed the pork in the black garlic tonkotsu for tofu, but that might've been the wrong move. The tofu is fried, and retains the oil so that, plus black garlic oil, made my soup too oily and difficult to finish. The ramen noodles were cooked well though and the roasted pork is very flavorful. It's not chasiu but it's got a nice crisp outside and the flavor is strong. Overall, it's a decent place for a hot bowl of ramen on a chilly day.

    If you're looking for delicious ramen you've stopped at the right spot. I've put my coworkers on to this spot and they all love it as well. We get it delivered and once it arrives I take the egg out, put my broth, mix it up and put it in the microwave for about 2 mins to get the noodles to my liking. Plus I prefer my soup hot as well. I always order a side of the spicy sauce and sometimes an extra.

    Chicken Bone Ramen

    Such an amazing ramen spot in the area! Not only is the staff very attentive and hospitable, but the food is delicious too! I would highly recommend the chicken ramen and the wings. The broth for the ramen is super flavorful and the noodles had a great bite. The wings are well seasoned and well fried. The food is healing and comforting. Would come back to try their other dishes and would definitely recommend this spot to satisfy any noodle cravings!

    Some yummy food!

    I love this restaurant. The food is delicious!Everyone should come to eat here! The service here is amazing and fast! The ambiance is great! You feel very comfortable and relaxed. This is a very nice place to be. P.s. you should try the noodles and edamame beans.

    Spicy Miso Ramen
    Sharon L.

    Stopped by for a quick bite after a massage next door, & I was pleasantly surprised by the ramen here! I ordered the spicy miso ramen ($15) and received my order within minutes. The spicy miso broth is flavorful and mildly spicy, and not too rich! Ramen noodles were perfectly al dente and complemented the broth well. The spicy ground meat was also one of my favorite toppings as it was really flavorful, but everything else was nothing to write home about. Portion size was perfect for me, though I could also see it being a bit small for others. Service was incredibly attentive and kind - there was only one server, but she frequently checked in to make sure I had everything I needed. The restaurant itself is a bit small but well spaced - perfect for grabbing a meal with a friend, but not great for large parties.

    You have WiFi?

    No WiFi. Not a place to hang out. Ramen is eat and go.

    Do they serve alcohol here?

    Yes they do, but I believe its limited.

    Is this more of a Chinese Ramen, or a REAL Japanese Ramen?

    This place is owned by Korean people so it's more like Korean Ramen, like the one in the city on University place

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.

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.

The gyoza was cooked very nicely, came sizzling and the bun with meat was a little ugly, it looked boiled and unappetizing. The taste was just okay. The topping on it was notable. The waitress didn't help us at all when ordering. We weren't bowled over with the food, although it was noted the meat in the ramen was high level. It hit the spot but I will try other places in the search for our "return forever" ramen place.

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.
