Sejal R.

Definitely get the spicy ramen. Absolutely worth it .. the portion sizes are hefty and the pork is sooo tender .. would definitely go back.

Dan Z.

Good ramen at a reasonable price. The broth is flavorful albeit somewhat too greasy. The meat is well cooked and you can adjust noodle firmness which is unique. Portion sizes are quite large as well. The chicken karage app we ordered was only okay. The weekends get busy so there could be a wait. The restaurant isn't that large. One perk is that it's next to a large korean supermarket. Service is fast and friendly.

- Service: Fast and friendly staff. - Ambiance: Nice and clean. - Food: Always a decent choice when it comes to ramen! I've tried most of the ramen here and everything is delicious. Flavor tends to lean on salty side, so I'd ask for less salty the next time. Price is around $15-$18 a bowl. Chicken karaage is also pretty good. The restaurant is in a strip mall so plenty of parking space.

LOVE this place! My go-to ramen place! I've had all of their ramen and every single one is delicious! The service is great and fast. The food comes out fresh. Very chill and enjoyable. My go to ramen is the Mayu Ramen. The price is also great as the portions are huge! Highly recommend their appetizers especially the takoyaki and pork bun!

You can order add on for 4 bucks. This one is fried chicken with curry sauce over rice.

The place is clean, spacious. This place seems very popular so either call to reserve seats or knowing there will be a line to get seated. We waited longer than expected. We ordered a rice ball, burned garlic oil char su Ramen and their signature ramen. You can place your order in low sodium as well which is a nice option. The noodles was good, soup base is more greasy than I would like. My bowl comes with 3 slices of meat but all 3 pieces are extremely fatty. Maybe 2% meat and the rest is all fat. It is not edible to me. My friends bowls got less fatty meat which they were ok with it. My stomach was not feeling good for a couple of hours after eating. Just too fatty for me. Fried chicken was ok, not the best, kind of dry. Octopus balls were ok, outside is not crunchy enough, the Octopus inside is a very very small piece. Overall, a bit disappointed.

It seemed very busy when we got there but they worked quick to get us in and it wasn't a long wait. Food was totally worth it my boyfriend loved it. I got ramen which was good but I honestly liked his better. He got pork katsu curry and it was so good I was jealous, couldn't get a good picture of that one before we devoured it. We could definitely come back!

Pork cutlet curry
Sumi K.

Our goto place to eat pork curry Donkatsu. The salad was fresh, pork cutlet was crispy and the curry sauce tasted delicious!

Signature Terakawa Ramen
Tracy T.

Best ramen in town! I got the signature ramen and karaage, both were delicious. You can also customize the soup saltiness and noodle firmness. Very quick service and cozy ambiance with ample seating. There's also tons of parking. Definitely recommend!

Best ramen I've had! I absolutely loved that you chose the saltiness of the soup and texture of the noodles. Any time I've had ramen on the past it's been so soft and over cooked, so I've just steered clear of ordering it cause I'm always disappointed. This place has change my point of view! I got the Spicy Ramen. It was so flavorful, fresh and hot. The meat was tender and the broth had so many layers of flavor to it had a rich smell of crab with the depth and umami of a chicken and fatty richness of pork. Appetizers were also great, everything was super hot and fresh. Service was a 10/10. Highly recommend this place!!!

Croquette

tldr popular (philly) local ramen spot serving up speciality ramens and solid rice plates spicy ramen (5/5) my favorite nj ramen is their spicy ramen that is made with an amazing seafood and pork broth, 3 pieces of big pork belly, kimchi, jammy marinated egg, and other plentiful toppings!! it's just got the right amount of spicy and umami flavor - not too heavy with the seafood base but also got a lot of fun textures with the toppings, noodles are perfectly bouncy croquette (3.5/5) we also ordered a potato croquette that had a great crunchy exterior but wish it was hotter and had two since it only came with one split croquette curry katsu chicken (3.75/5) japanese potato/carrot curry with a side salad and chicken was a bit tough - feels like the curry flavor can have more depth but it's a pretty big serving service was not bad! they were a bit slow but it was also because they were busy and the restaurant is very clean and spacious - good for small groups 3-5 people food 4/5 (spicy ramen is 5/5) service 3.5/5 ambiance 4/4 value 4/5

The broth was rich and creamy and the noodles were delicious! It was just slightly too salty to me, now it made sense why the waiter asked if we wanted regular salt or less salt for the broth. Overall flavorful and filling!

Mayu Rame
Brian W.

Once again, % home run. We love the dishes we select as they are consistent time and time again. This time Willy took great care of us l, it's like Royalty between Willy and Joey. Started off with the pork gyoza, perfectly made, then we devoured the Takoyaki, my favorite appetizer. We shared the Mayu Ramen and added additional pork and shrimp tempora. Was excellent.

Chastity R.

Did the Philly one and decided to try this Princeton Junction one. Solid. Service was wonderful! Some of the warmest folks! All smiles and very efficient. The place was immaculate considering it opened nearly 7 years ago. Was seated right away. Ordered the Shoyu Ramen. Some people might cringe at the fat content but fat is flavor. Delicious! The broth was clearer than my favorite ramen spot but the taste is almost the same! Just wished they didn't cut the charshu pork so paper thin. Gimme something to chew on!

The restaurant looked very clean with no garbage or debris on the floors or on the tables. The staff: The staff here are friendly, and they greet you and thank you with a welcoming smile. Prices: The prices here are pretty much similar to other ramen/noodle shops anywhere you go. Basically, it is a decent price for what you get now a days. Taiwanese popcorn chicken: This was cooked thoroughly and was delicious when you bite into it. This was definitely worth ordering if you decide to come here. Ultimate Lanzhou beef noodles: My brother said this noodle soup was not spicy at all. In fact it had too much of the black vinegar taste instead. The beef was cooked thoroughly, and the noodles were just all right with nothing special. Lanzhou beef noodles: The soup base for this noodle soup was very bland as if it was just soaking in water. The beef did not have flavor but was cooked thoroughly. The noodles would have tasted a bit better if the soup base had a little flavor to it. Overall: I might give this place a try again if I ever come back down to the Princeton area. Otherwise, I probably would not take the 1-hour drive down here just to dine at this noodle shop. A suggestion would be that they should try to perfect the soup base as the noodles are already good.

A couple days later, I couldn't stop thinking about what I wanted for lunch and the sunshine roll popped into my mind and my mouth started to instantly water. It filled me up perfectly and the flavor was beyond delicious so I made a call and ordered for pick up when I walked into the restaurant . The place was beautifully decorated and very clean this time I ordered the sunshine roll and the Philadelphia roll. The prices were very good and my food was ready promptly. The hostess was beautiful and kind and professional. I took my lunch back to my office and enjoyed it thoroughly after work. I told my husband about my experience and how beautifully decorated the place is and he said that our next date night will be there. I cannot wait for him to try this amazing sushi. I know we will become regulars. I am so excited to return. See you soon Sumi Rahman.

Unfortunately, it came out with the other meals but that's okay. For an entrée, my husband got the 'Popcorn Chicken Udon' which was fried Japanese style chicken over rice. It was very flavorful, very moist, really delicious! I got the 'Tomato Vegetable Ramen' which was tomato vegetable broth topped with fresh tomato, tofu and corn, served with kale noodles. I did remove the Tofu and replaced that with the egg though. It was good, but I would liked a more strong tomato flavor like tomato soup... this was very light on flavor. The service was very friendly and kind as well as informative. I don't know if I would be back - just because I have had better Ramen... but that Popcorn Chicken was DELICIOUS.

Absolutely delicious ramen spot with an extremely friendly staff!…read more I attended the Dancing Under The Stars event tonight in Princeton and wanted to eat something after dancing up a sweat and working up an appetite so I decided to walk to Purinsu Ramen. I ordered Coconut Bubble Tea and Tonkatsu Ramen. The bubble tea was fresh, refreshing, sweet & hit the spot. The Tonkatsu Ramen was delicious with savory broth, plentiful noodles, delectable boiled eggs and seaweed. I stopped back in closer to closing time and the owner let me in and even grabbed me a bottle of water which he let me drink some of inside his restaurant even though it was empty and they had obviously closed up for the night. I had been dancing for hours and really needed water and there weren't any other spots where I could just walk in and ask for a bottle of water and he was gracious enough to provide one even though it was a minute before closing time and the entire restaurant was empty. If you're in Princeton & want some tasty ramen from a friendly & professional staff, check out Purinsu Ramen! You wont be disappointed.

This is easily one of the best ramen spots I've ever tried. They offer a great variety of broths, ranging from clear to creamy and spicy. My personal favorite is the Spicy Miso Ramen; it's the perfect balance of richness and heat, accompanied by incredibly tender pieces of slow-braised pork belly. I also love that you can fully customize your bowl with different toppings to make it exactly to your taste. You also cannot skip their appetizers. This time we ordered the Rock Shrimp Tempura, which was fried to perfection without overcooking the shrimp, and the sauces were the perfect addition. You also need to try their Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice, the Bao Buns, and my absolute favorite: the Ika Geso Karaage, which comes with the most delicious mayo dipping sauce. The cozy ambiance perfectly complements the food, and the service is always attentive. It's a BYOB spot, which is a nice touch, and they'll provide glasses upon request. Since they don't take reservations, make sure to add yourself to the Yelp waitlist so you don't have to wait too long to try this amazing food!
