If you can get an extra serving of pork in your ramen, I'd highly suggest that. (I promise I won't tell anyone you did!)

Regular spicy broth 👌🏽

This place is better than ippudo. Don't waste your time there. The minca chasyu is the reason why.

Order the spicy miso ramen and gyoza. Take a nap after finishing it all.

Ramen quality is almost as good as Ippudo, without the 2+ hour wait.

Spicy miso ramen with pork belly
Stas NikiforovAugust 9, 2013
Not actually good ramen. The egg is completely boiled if not over boiled. The pork is frozen and then it's not even hot when you eat it. I had the shoyu ramen and the broth tasted

Make sure you set aside a few hours to nap afterwards.

wahoo w/wavy noodles - so good! spicy miso is fab, but huge. toroniku is pretty fatty.

Come to Minca for the best Ramen East of 1st Ave., start with pork Gyoza and have some hot sake
Nicholas DoyleJune 7, 2013
The spicy miso ramen is overrated: the spice mutes the rest of the flavors, resulting in an underwhelming broth.

tsukemen is amazing

cash money only! good stuff!
Jon ChuSeptember 1, 2015
Horrible service at this location. Quick meal and was asked to move to another seat multiple times. Food is average, heavy on oils. Skip this place unless your in a bind
Natalie KDecember 13, 2014
The waitress with thick eyeliner is super rude. She forced me to pay 20% tip, which she doesnt deserve at all. Cash only. Not enough seats. You can find better places in EV. OVERRATED.
Esin EsmerokSeptember 3, 2017
I guess it was ok, but I could not understand the taste difference between fish and chicken broth; wasn't very found of 😐
Josh UptonAugust 12, 2014
