Try for dessert the Lady M Mille Crêpes cake, fresh from UES!

Start with Hirata Buns then a bowl of Akamaru. Add egg, if you'd like. Yummy!
Ask for fresh garlic to crush directly onto your noodles. You won't regret it.
Jane DongJanuary 4, 2015Fairly showy ramen - always solid but not classic. Don't particularly like the wait, but it is what it is
Bryan LeSeptember 15, 2013Food is pretty good. Expect an easy 90 minute wait. Nice ambience. Shared tables. Unfortunately it has awful service. So bad that when combined with the 90 minute wait, makes it unfavorable to return.
Go to the bar and grab some hirata buns and cold beer. Your typical 40-minute wait will shorten considerably.
Rachel SMarch 16, 2012I don't know why everyone neglects the veggie buns. I'm telling you they're unbelievably great.
Patrick BaskinFebruary 5, 2017Honestly not worth the 2+ hour wait, pork buns are pretty good but ramen is meh and a tad too salty
Dont ever ask them to give you one chicken and one pork bun for the Hirata appetizer option. They will tell you it's impossible, you'll ask why, and they'll say "because that's the way it is"
Pork buns and Akamaru Modern ramen with soft-boiled egg = MUST.
Deniz BasogluMarch 10, 2011You have to wait for more than an hour but it is worth! My speciality: a 'Cold Beer&Hot Peppers' while waiting and 'Miso Ramen' .
Make sure you're getting the size noodles you want. This is the second time I mistakenly got the really thin noodles.
Oz LublingDecember 19, 2009Best ramen in town. but you probably already know that. Only way to get in is to show up at 10 minutes before opening. Also try the cucumber.
KarenJanuary 6, 2018Was good, but not really worth the very long wait to get seated. The ramen is only standard.
ConBonDecember 27, 2011pork buns = yum. waiting 1hr+ = overrated ramen. non-asian waiters speak japanese = kinda hot.
