Teppen Ramen

Perfect place for a cold winter night. Snagged a table for four in a walk-in, place is very unassuming but clean with efficient service. They were out of a couple things we tried to order (curry ramen and Sapporo beer) but the menu is extensive and has several vegetarian (even a vegan) ramen options that did NOT disappoint. Ramen was hot, fresh and super flavorful. decent portions for around $19 per bowl. Recommend stopping in if in the area and need something filling and tasty!

Cozy ramen place hidden away from the business. I came in a group of 6, and we were seated immediately on a Friday afternoon. The servers were attentive and friendly. We each got a bowl of ramen which came relatively quickly. I got the Teppen Miso Spicy Ramen, and the broth was very flavorful and rich, but not overly heavy by any means. It wasn't too thick or watered down, and clung to the chewy, bouncy, wavy noodles perfectly. I also enjoyed the ramen egg, although I would've preferred a slightly more molten one. The meat wasn't dry but not super out of the ordinary. I always like the touch of corn to add a hint of sweetness to the dish. The Teppen Shoyu Ramen had thin straight noodles that were nicely cooked and a broth that was lighter and not was heavy/rich if that is your preference.Overall, pretty decent ramen and perfect for a cold day, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here.

DELICIOUS RAMEN!! On East 55th Street, steps from 3rd Ave. Between 3rd and Lex, but closer to 3rd Ave. After my FDR Post Office errand, it was cold out, and I needed to eat. I had wanted to try TEPPEN RAMEN for at least a year, but now was the perfect time. I came in about 2:50pm, after the lunch busy times-I enjoy a late lunch in order to bypass the crowds. There are tables inside, it is cozy with warm natural woods. THERE IS AN "A" rating in the window, and that means a lot, in terms of proper food handling and storage, as well as cleanliness.I had read the rave reviews, and now I have finally enjoyed delicious homemade gyoza AND a wonderful and flavorful bowl of ramen. I will be back to try other menu items, for sure. My food was DELICIOUS!!! I ordered the TEPPEN Shoyu Ramen- it has pork in a chicken broth, with fried garlic, seaweed, seasoned boiled egg, scallions, straight noodles. THE FLAVOR WAS FANTASTIC!! As I finished my ramen, there was about a teaspoon of broth left, and you know how it can be challenging to get that with the special Japanese soup spoon? Well, I know I have really enjoyed the ramen when I lift the bowl and pour that last little teaspoon amount of broth into my Japanese soup spoon, AND THAT IS WHAT I DID!!! :). So very good, I did not want to miss a drop! I know I will be back here again, even in the very cold weather, because my new Eddie Bauer Cirrus Down pants arrived just as our cold weather arrived, so I look forward to more of this delicious ramen this winter. And summer, too! There are lots of choices on this menu, so just take a look at my photos. TEPPEN RAMEN IS A DEFINITE YES!!! Service was nice. You should visit! Enjoy!

While visiting NYC had dinner with my niece & her family. Their Christmas tradition is to have ramen at Teppen Ramen before a visit to the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree. We were so happy to tag along. It was so authentic tasting. Best Ramen I've tasted in a long while. Great hot soup for a cold 32 degree weather. The broth was super tasty that I can eat everyday. Hubby & I shared a Shoyu ramen & Pan Fried Pork Gyozas. Service was great. Staff were friendly. We did not wait long for our order place was small but had a nice warm vibe. Next time I visit the Big Apple I will surely stop & have a bowl of deliciousness

Teppen was definitely a surprise, especially since we hadn't planned on coming all the way here for ramen. Unfortunately, we couldn't try the ramen because there weren't any chicken options, but we decided to try a few appetizers instead, and they were delicious! The flavors were on point and made the visit worthwhile. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll definitely come back, even if it's just for the apps.

I am not a huge ramen person; yet, we were hungry and needed something quick before hitting the road so here it goes:AWESOME FOOD, super fresh ingredients & authentic feels.SERVICE was quick & friendly.AMBIENCE was neat and cute.Very chill vibes, casual seating, homey feel. My recommendation?Get their Tan Tan ramen, both versions because they are slightly different from each other but equally spicy and warm to the insides!

Stopped by last minute for a quick dinner and really enjoyed it. The staff were very professional and attentive. I was in and out within 15 minutes, which was perfect for a quick meal.

Lovely ramen restaurant tucked away in busy midtown east! Teppen had a simple lunch menu with a few different ramen options, in addition to other appetizers and entrees.The ramen was delicious -- both the spicy and the miso had creamy broth that were full of flavor. I would definitely come back for more if I found myself in the area again.The space itself is crowded, as is to be expected in this part of Manhattan. But they do a good job of making the most of the narrow floor plan, and the service didn't miss a beat, even at peak lunch times.

Great place in Midtown East to grab a hot bowl of ramen. The only reason I am giving it 4 instead of 5 stars is because the prices are a bit high (my vegetarian ramen was more expensive than the pork ramen!). Vegetarian ramen is usually a hit or miss but this one had a depth of flavor! I loved the addition of fresh vegetables, they added a nice crunch as well as a unique flavor. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area!PS: I've also gotten takeout from here and it's just as good!

The flavor of the soup base is amazing n the texture of the noodles is firm n chewy just a perfect bowl of the ramen!
