Fusion-style ramen with spicy options and good vegetarian/ vegan options.Small space. Only seats around 20-25 people at most inside. The chicken meat had a really nice char to it but I felt my pork belly was a little too burnt and dry. My favorite was the Vegan ramen was surprisingly very very good. I wasn't a fan of the butter miso ramen. the Shoyu ramen is good for people who eat chicken. I'd definitely recommend this place for a group with vegan or vegetarian people though cause it has a good selection and well marked menu!

Mid.Ramen was good but too spicy for my taste. Portion was filling. Server creeped me out and even brought us the wrong bill. I liked the general ambiance of the place. Overpriced.

I got their spicy ramen and man did it not disappoint ! Really good food and a large portion ! They were a little busy but we got a seat at the bar real quick. Def worth a wait if you want good ramen. It was nice and chatty inside. Lots of chatter going on it was a nice vibe.

Average ramen, heavy broth, I got the tonkotsu ramen (switched to wavy noodles) with spicy level 3, a bit too spicy for me so 2 might be better, you can add a soft boil egg since it doesn't come with one. I thought the soup was a bit too think so had to add some water. My friend really liked it though,We also got the appetizer sampler, good for sharing and if you want to try out different items. The takoyaki was a bit disappointing, fried dumpling was ok, I was too full to try the karaage, heard it was just ok from my friend too.Staff was friendly, space is quite small, we didn't have to wait on a rainy weekday night (past 9pm). It's a place I'd try out once but probably wouldn't be back again.

Such a cute and cozy ramen spot located a few blocks from Washington Square Park. Staff are wonderful and recommend we try the spicy ginger stamina ramen. I decided to opt the pork for some chicken. It was absolutely delicious and filling. I got a 3 level spice, which honestly wasn't that spicy, so next time i'll try either a 4 or 5. Will definitely be back!

My friend and I both got the Miso Butter ramen and thought it was a little to heavy and salty. The portion size isn't very big for ramen and normally I have trouble finishing all my noodles but this one I finished and was still a bit hungry. Overall overpriced for what it is.

Based on one visit.Nice little place. Ramen in general was good but a bit salty. Other places struggle to keep the salt reasonable too. Good location a short walk from WSP and NYU.Places to sit inside and outside. They had several Japanese beers including Sapporo which I like. Worth a try.

Super delicious food for a chilly day! We didn't have to wait long for our appetizers and mains to come out. I enjoyed the Taka's broth--it was good to just drink. The takoyaki and gyoza were served hot and delicious. The restaurant also has a bathroom in the back and a reasonable amount of seating (bar, window, and table seats) for the space. Staff were also very friendly!
