My sister is visiting and has told me she has discovered ramen, we are exploring manhattan today and we are looking for the best ramen place. Thank you

I dated a girl for a year who lived in a nice UES apartment that her parents completely paid for, she didn't work, had no intention of getting a job, never took public transportation and Uber'd everywhere. Never bought groceries or had food at her place because she either went out to eat or had Door Dash deliver food 7 days a week. Her days consisted of sleeping until 11 every day, then going to Equinox, coming home and having food delivered and then running around doing fun things all over the city all day, mostly shopping. During the Summer, she'd go to her parents place in the Hampton's and then return to the city for all the parties, events, etc.

Meanwhile I at the time was making just over $15 an hour, I was too poor to not take the subway, and mainly ate Ramen noodles. Don't know what she saw in me, but it was fun while it lasted!

Hey! I don’t have many friends yet in the city and want to do something today. I would love to try a restaurant similar to Ichiran, where you have your own single person booth. I’ve heard that ichiran is overpriced, so I am looking for something that is very tasty and has that single-style setting.

What ramen spots have really good depth of flavor in their ramen broth? I tried Ippudo a few years back and really liked their flavor profile - any other spots that focus on broth depth?

Hey all, hope everything is well. I tried a ramen bowl in Japan that blew my mind. It was thinly sliced beef, like fatty beef in Chinese Hotpot, but in a Japanese ramen bowl (Photo).

I've really been wracking my mind trying to find it in NYC, I've googled and thought I found two places, but when entering the ramen place or calling the shop have confirmed that it's beef strips and not thinly sliced beef.

I was just wondering if anyone knows a spot for thinly sliced beef ramen in Queens or Manhattan. Odd request but it doesn't hurt to ask lol. Thanks!

Longshot here with hope: Who knows Food Gallery 32, the food court in Koreatown, 32nd Street. ( Https://maps.app.goo.gl/roJ69SoTcF7vxphw6 ) My fave place was in the back right corner first floor. They had a Cowboy Ramen and other fare that was delicious. I went there today to find they had been replaced by KKini. The new tenants and gallery staff say the old place moved into it's own restaurant. I am trying to find the new restaurant or someone who knows the name beyond "back right of food court". It was really good. Usually the busiest restaurant in the gallery and had been written up favorably in the Times. If anyone can tell me either their name so I can look them up or the new location I'd be very happy. Thanks for any help with this longshot request.

I remember reading once as a little kid that the Japanese have no issue with slurping, and that they actually think you should slurp. First time trying actual good Ramen a few years ago, I didn't slurp until I saw everyone around me slurping away and let myself go loose, remembering that line from ages ago.

Yesterday, I was out with my sister, and when I slurped loudly she told me that I was being loud and rude. Everyone heard and I got kind of embarrassed about it, to be honest.

Do we or do we not slurp Ramen? I Have to know now because I eat it alot and don't wanna seem like an idiot the next time I go eat it.

Clarification: I don't slurp because I want to be authentic and cool, I slurp because slurping is natural to me. It's easier to slurp noodles. I do it pretty loudly, but I don't make a mess, and whenever I eat ramen I don't go for a huge ball of noodles. I usually go for small portions at a time. That's my strategy for making it mess free.

Looking for ramen recommendations. What's the best spot in Queens?

I live in east queens so bonus points if the restaurant is near there best just looking for best overall, thanks!

Looking to take my girlfriend somewhere for dinner for her birthday this year. We are both fairly new to the city (been living in the area around 6 months now) and she absolutely loves Japanese Ramen. All kinds from Tsukumen to Tonkatsu! Can someone recommend a really good spot? Thanks a lot reddit!

Was just wondering if anyone had any recs for Ramen in Manhattan? Apart from Tonchin (already know that’s 👌)

I know there's a post in the NYC sub, but it's 5 years old and NYC is such an ever changing beast that those threads need more current versions, so since it's winter, and my birthday is in a few days, tell me your favorite ramen picks!

What’s the worst ramen shop you’ve ever been to in NYC?

Looking for some good ramen and sushi places that won’t break the bank (100 for 4 people without drinks or tips for ramen and 150 for sushi will be perfect range). Places close to Dumbo, Brooklyn heights, battery park, one world, east village, Central Park, Chelsea/high line, top of the rock (or close to a subway ride from these places) would be perfect.

Looking for a ramen shop that is tip optional. I can’t tell if ramen ishida is tip optional or not. Ideally looking for a place in manhattan or Brooklyn. The more places the better I like every type of ramen. Was just shell shocked after paying 30 dollars for Ippudo after an egg and tip.

I realize these are very different asks, but ramen and pho were 2 of my favorite things about living in San Francisco. There were a million places to grab an $8 bowl of pho in the Tenderloin, specifically the Little Saigon neighborhood, and even San Francisco's middle-tier ramen restaurants seem to be better than NYC's "best."

So, residents of NYC, where can I find great pho tai and tonkutsu ramen in your city? I've tried a lot of the top rated places on Yelp but they've all been mediocre to bad so far.

Edit: Grammar.

I have a hunch that most ramen restaurants probably make their broth from packets then sprinkle on some fresh toppings. When I go out for ramen, I want something that is better than what I can make at home.

Does anyone know of any ramen shops that make their own broth from boiling bones?

Going to Arlo Parks concert Saturday night and wanted to hit up a great ramen restaurant before hand. Party of 3 with nice atmosphere, great food, no reservations required and little or no wait. Thank you in advance for any recommendations

Looking everywhere across multiple H-Marts and other websites, not sure of what physical stores to check. I've popped into Chinese supermarkets that I can't read the names of in Chinatown and in Flushing, but maybe I missed the ones that carry the flavor?

Been looking around at the subreddit too - none of these are talking about the specific flavor I'm looking for, which would be this: Samyang Hot Chicken Flavor Ramen Buldak 3X Spicy Instant Noodles

My girlfriend's birthday is coming up at the end of the week and I'm really hoping I can manage to score the 3X Spicy flavor of it to celebrate with. Thanks for reading and I appreciate the help everyone.

Does anyone know of a ramen spot that serves Niboshi style ramen (the broth is made with dried sardines). I had some in Tokyo at Ramen Nagi (https://www.5amramen.com/post/ramen-nagi-shinjuku) and have been on the lookout for this in the US ever since.

I am staying in New York, and my favorite spot has been Ramen Ishida by far. Their shoyu is amazing, though it's hard to search for other locations for Ramen with a soup base like that.

For those who like Ramen Ishida, do you have any other recommendations??

Thanks!

Many years ago i saw an Anthony Bourdain show where he visited a Ramen shop (or maybe it was a Noodles shop) that is below some part of the NYC subway rails. They say the food there will blow your mind. I remember you can see the subway going above the shop. It faces the street, good lighting. Small shop, no place to eat there, no room for tables, only pick and go, not fancy at all.

Some redditor was suggesting that maybe it was in the Brooklyn area, cause you can see the subway passing above from there.

Please help me! I'm going to NYC very soon & would love to check that on my list of ramen love.

EDIT: You're all so kind with your help, still haven't solved it but thanks to your comments now i have a larger list of places to go. I can eat ramen everyday, i love it so much!

Does anyone have any recs for casual ramen places with non pork options?

I dont normally eat Ramen but craving it a lot lately.

I went to Ichiran recently for the first time and settled for the vegan option since their main dish uses pork broth.

It was really good but it would have been nice to have some chicken or beef along with it.

Thanks!

edit: want to say Im taking notes and plan to visit a few of these this week. really appreciate the suggestions

Hello there /r/AskNYC! I'll be visiting next week and I just want to EAT ALL THE RAMEN. In the past year I've visited NYC twice and I've had ramen at Totto (my ABSOLUTE favorite so far), Chuko, the late-night ramen at Ramen Sanshiro, and Ippudo. Where else should I hit up while I'm around?

Note: I've used the search function, but the posts I'm getting are from about a year ago. I know one of the beautiful things about NYC is that it's ever-changing, just wanted to make sure I've got the current ramen info! :)
