Everything was amazing. All star Ramen is the best and the Yamamomo San Drink was one of a kind. It’s a must visit place in NY

Great place for ramen and sushi! The broth is very rich and creamy. Everything was flavorful and the sushi chefs were very generous with the fish.
Portion of ramen is HUGE. We went as two folks and ended up having a hard time finishing a ramen and a sushi

Very good tan tan men and popcorn shrimp! Thought the staff were overly strict on seating policy even though the restaurant had space (eg needing full party, asking pairs to sit shoulder to shoulder). May just do takeaway next time.

Good ramen, duck taco appetizers were a bit greasy and wasn't a fan of the deep fried taco shells.
The service was disappointing. We had to flag down a waiter after first sitting down for a while to get water and our order taken. After finishing our main course, we were rushed multiple times to pay our bill and was then directly asked to give up our seats because there was another party waiting, even when there were other tables open. Unless you tell us in the beginning about a time limit on the table, it's outrageous to rush or ask customers to leave.

New favorite ramen spot!
Ambiance (5/5): Sleek dining room with high top seating facing the windows or bar seating, or regular low seated tables. The establishment was only a third full on a random weeknight at 6:30p so it was very quiet and peaceful.
Service (5/5): Our server was manning the bar and also attending to a few tables. Since we sat at the bar, we were serviced quickly and often! She was very friendly and checked in with us at the perfect cadence. She even suggested using their special hot sauce when we were eating and it definitely elevated the meal.
There’s a dinner special of 1 ramen and 1 app for $30 (some of the options were extra $) so it only makes sense for some of the combination orders.
Pork Bao Buns (5/5): WOW, the pieces of pork were generous, thick but also super super tender. The sauce was creamy and the bun was soft/fresh. It has to be one of the best pork buns that I’ve had!
Tan Tan Ramen (5/5): Holy smokes, this is one of the best ramen I’ve had in the city!! The ramen noodles were a perfect chew and bounce which soaked up the rich sesame broth. The broth is so savory and packed with tons of flavors at once. Half soft boiled egg.
Spicy Tonkatsu (5/5): I liked my tan tan more but this ramen was equally good. Half soft boiled egg.
Second visit: The waitress remembered me!!
Tsukemen Ramen (4/5): This was a bit of a letdown compared to my first visit because: the soup was not hot enough and the thin slice of meat in the bowl was less impressive. The noodles were superb (cold as supposed to be). There's chunks of meat in the broth that were tender! Half soft boiled egg.
