I got Spicy Shoyu and didn't love it:( The soup is salty and the noodle is thick. Good service though
I rarely post reviews, but I have coming to this place for a long time since it opened if you’re looking for a good tsukemen spot in Queens this is the place for you. I always get the same thing spicy shoyu and it always hits. it comes with the free can of green tea and it’s only $13. What a deal!
I got lunch here before a movie at Regal. We tried the shoyu tsukemen and miso tsukemen with warm noodles. When we visited in November, they had a promotion for $2 off tsukemen orders for dine in. There was only one staff member working and food seems to be made to order so expect a short wait. It didn't seem like there were too many orders yet as we got there before 12. The staff member was also nice enough to give us 2 cans of KFT's green tea on the house which was nice of them! We sat at the counter seating which is where most of the seating for dine in seemed to be. The shoyu dipping broth had a very clean flavor and it also came with boiled charsiu pieces. I got the miso version which came with minced pork. The flavor of this one was richer and sweeter because of the addition of miso. The noodles started to stick a bit as they cooled down so I added some of the dipping broth to the bowl to keep them from sticking together. All in all, a super filling meal in the Queens crossing food court!
Delicious, excellent value, and even better service. I've been converted to Japanese cuisine! I met a co-worker here for lunch. Ramen is never my choice for lunch, but it was his turn to choose. I had the chashu don. The flavor was incredible! Perfect blend of umami and savory! Try it with the Matcha IPA imported from Kyoto. A unique beer that complements the flavors. The owner, Steve, greeted us after our meal. He was so pleased to hear how much we enjoyed our food that he brought us other things to try. I was so impressed with the food and service that I'm bringing a group of 20 when I return to the city next month. Don't miss this awesome new spot!
Ambiance (4/5): It is a classic Japanese vibe of sitting at the bar countertop and watch as the chef prepares your food. In this case, it was a high schooler following instructions posted on the kitchen wall… Stools do not have a backing so you can't get too comfortable. Service (N/A): You order via a QR code assigned to your seat #. The 1 manned kitchen was servicing 3 guests during his shift and would have struggled to keep up if there were more. However, when asked for additional requests (napkins, to-go containers, etc), he was very quick to help me. Server also gave me a FREE Kung Fu Tea green tea can!! [Only later did I realize that you can get one free for writing a review… but I did not know this until after I visited so he gave it to me for free slash without writing a review] Tsukemen Shoyu Ramen (5/5): Typical that tsukemen broth can be a bit more salty than your standard bowl of ramen, which it was. Broth was full of flavor, depth, but also a smidge too salty. I found it nice that you can order the noodle temperature to be customized as it is typically consumed (cold) or warm (to your preference). There was plenty in portion size for the price point and comes with minced pork, and a half seasoned boiled egg! I added an order of $4 charshu since the meal did not come with it. The meat is a good mix of fat to meat, charred/smokey taste. The noodles were chewy and similar to that of lo mein, which I enjoyed because of the bounce and how easy to was to dip into the ramen to soak up the flavors. The bowl came with a variety in toppings. All around great in taste, price, and quality! Public bathroom located inside the ground floor just outside the food court.
I tell you, it was the ramen for me!!! Everything was so tasty and rich in flavor. Also, the staff was very kind and helpful. I appreciate the whole experience. The food hallway is very peaceful and very neat and clean! Definitely going back with some people next time!
Happened upon this place during a trip home and it was AMAZING! The vibe here is so welcoming and and the staff are very friendly, especially Steve. He came around checking on customers and was super nice. After talking for a few you can tell that he genuinely loves what he does and you can taste it in all his dishes. It was most definitely a comfort food, and we felt right at home. The authenticity of the food is a direct result of the thought and effort that goes into the process. Hands down the best Ramen dish I've had and I will always recommend this place!!!
This place was absolutely delicious, I came here with my boyfriend, it was his first time trying Ramen, and I’m a huge Ramen lover. We came in here to try it, it says authentic Ramen, and boy oh boy was is amazing. I don’t really ever write reviews but I just had to for this place. I tried it and told him this is the best Ramen, I’ve ever had. He was enjoying his plate very much. I spoke to the owner and he said that he went to Japan to try out different Ramen spots and compare and contrast. He also brought back a chef from Japan who’s working right now as a chef here to help them get started. It’s so delicious, I recommend everyone try it out!!!
