the menu and prices on the wall
Sandy T.

I was so happy that they added ramen to the menu! Decent selection. A bit pricey but they do give you alot of food. Very generous portions of meat. The popcorn chicken was delicious. I got the curry broth and i will say it was a tad disappointing. Very thin broth and not thick like what i am use too. The restaurant now has a couple of tables/chairs so you can dine in if you want too. The waitstaff was friendly and nice.

Brown Sugar Milk Tea w/almond milk

They just opened about a month ago, and offer your expected boba options with the addition of colorful and refreshing specialty drinks. There is also a bakery section with eastern and western assortments. If you're looking for a boba fix this is your best option going east on Long Island.

Super cute little boba shop :) I've been stopping by here over the course of the last year and the staff is kind and helpful every single time, and my drinks are always made perfectly. The food is also beautiful and delicious, im never disappointed and the portions are a good size for the prices The shop is always clean and quiet, making it one of my favorite date spots

This is the closest bubble tea place near my house, I got the Brown Sugar Fresh Milk Tea with Extra Boba and I am obsessed!! It is so clean and a very relaxing environment. The lady that helped my boyfriend and I the other day was so very sweet! I am definitely going to frequent this place!

I wish I had tasted more matcha, it was very milky but the bobas came out so warm! Quick service, the lady was so sweet and called me pretty :3 the store is really clean and bright. Good spot for a boba run

Their boba has truly never let me down. I love their brown sugar and I love how you can choose your milk and sugar preference so easily.

wanted to give 2.5, but since that's not an option, this is closer to 2 than 3. Idk y this place…read morehave such high review Overall, not a good vibe. The place didn't feel very clean and came off like a cheap ramen spot, but without the taste to back it up. Ordered Slurp Spicy -- 2/5. Too sweet and lacked depth. Didn't feel authentic beyond just the ingredients. Slurp Smooth -- 3/5. A bit better -- chicken and broth were okay. Chicken gyoza -- 1/5. Honestly bad... felt like a waste of money. Staff were nice, and they have a restroom with parking nearby, but I saw workers taking out trash through the dining area, which didn't feel sanitary and hurt the experience. Overall, not a place I'd come back to.

This review is not just for the place, but for Nick who works there as the front manager. We were…read moregreeted when arriving on a busy evening last weekend. The place was very crowded and pretty fast paced, but Nick took the time to explain a few things to us, and he was very friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and a calm guy despite the busyness going on. My son and I had Ramen bowls that were plentiful and very good! We sat at a table when one opened, and we were delivered our food by none other than Nick once again. He was again - super friendly and genuinely calm, even though he was doing three different things at once! I marveled at how chill the guy was and told him so! So: Food excellent, staff excellent, and wait time despite the crowd was also very good. ONE complaint is that they had no way of taking tips on the credit card up front at the register when you paid! That is unheard of and very unfair to the employees who are working hard for whomever owns this place!! I urge the owners to immediately rectify this situation!! We did not have cash on us, and I apologized to Nick that we couldn't leave anything for them. He didn't mind at all - but I did. OWNERSHIP - please fix this immediately so your dedicated employees like Nick can be compensated/thanked by appreciative customers. Pete G.

Unfortunately, my experience at here at Kyuramen was disappointing. I was looking forward to trying…read morethe Yin Yang ramen, but the service really overshadowed the meal. 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.
