Suzume serves up "spicy butter wings" with a ginger yogurt. These reference the Frank's Red Hot sauce and butter of the classic wing, while evoking points distinctly further east. Six wing for $8. Read more

Grilled Salmon Ramen: This soup works, mainly by not being too fussy, so that the salmon can shine next to the wavy, wobbly noodles, further flavored with scallions and kelp. Read more

Start with warm spam musubi, the full sampling of tacos (yes, all 3), then a bowl of ramen. Both ramen options have a slight kick, I prefer the salmon - milky kombu broth that tingles with spice

Delicious ramen and other Japanese dishes in a super cozy and trendy space. The vegetarian scallion noodles were great and a warm temperature rather than chilled, which I liked!

Suzume is a small, nicer, Japanese-Hawaiian restaurant in Williamsburg. The poke here is basically served in sushi form. You can order a wide variety of food from spam musubis to roasted salmon ramen! Read more

Go for the roasted salmon ramen with a poached egg. Salmon was cooked well and the noodles were delicious. Enjoyed the thickness of the broth. Get the fish tacos for a quick appetizer to share.

A cozy ramen / sushi spot in an area w/ not much competition in those categories. And they nail it. Go before 8pm. It'll get busy after that. Order the Yao Yao Ramen. And the warm sake. Duh.

I’m going to sound crazy for a moment, this veggie ramen was amazing! I love ramen, but also am not the biggest of meat eaters. I had my doubts, but they really delivered.

New. Ambiance? Simple & chic with lots and lots of dark wood. Food? Roasted Salmon Ramen(Spicy Miso Dashi, Wakame (here it is - http://goo.gl/93uKW), scallion) tasty & perfect on a cold winter night Read more

Sushi, taco, ramen and cocktails! Casual cool intimate vibe. Sushi is tasteful and affordable, cocktails are great. All menu items are done with care. I'm a regular.

My new favorite ramen joint! Both the YaoYao and the Roasted Salmon ramen are out-of-this-world good. P.S. The tacos are made of wonton shells!

Small and intimate sushi & raman place. Very pleasantly surprised by their Yao Yao Ramen - a new spin on traditional tonkatsu raman. Once you try it, you’ll want to go back!

Another East Williamsburg favorite. I switch between the rice bowl, the ramen, and the ginger scallion noodle. All are v tasty. Wash it all down with an Asahi or champagne of beers.
Emily WilsonJune 2, 2016
The ginger scallion noodles are delicious, and refreshing when it's warm outside. Get a poached egg on top and mix it well.
Vuk MilanovicOctober 21, 2015
Great food and friendly staff! Very nice atmosphere and quite hip. No beer on tap. Quite small and often full, so beware. Cool seating for 2: By sushi chef, watch him do his thing.
ChristinaNovember 25, 2015
Had the tuna poke & spicy scallop sushi + the taco trio. All were SO fresh, savory, and ridiculously delicious! Lovely ambiance too. Super friendly staff. Great spot all around!
Alex PyatetskyJuly 6, 2017
Beautiful traditional Japanese vibe. Good flavors. Not a noodle shop, more of an izakaya fusion. Wings taste good but not crispy. Pork taco was lovely traditional Japanese braise + al pastor wink.
Grace LeeJanuary 18, 2015
The salmon ramen's broth is too fishy for my taste; YaoYao's is thicker, has a unique flavor. Nice noodles. Get the poached egg. There is matcha green tea not on the menu. Fish tacos were my fave.
Ben K.April 17, 2016
Cozy and dark place that serves fun cocktails, sushi, and ramen. Try the tuna poké sushi, spicy crunchy tuna roll, YaoYao ramen, and chicken katsu rice bowl.

For those who live in the area and see their lives as ramen-less lately, this is the perfect spot to chow down on noodles without having to worry about the L train being too packed on the way home.

The Yao Yao Ramen is one of my favorites ever! It's got perfectly chewy noodles in a rich broth with super tender pork, scallions, wok-charred baby bok choy and sesame oil. Addictive!

First of all, the service is A+. It's cozy and delicious. Bok choy salad I could eat every day and the pear creme brulee is to die for 🤤🤤🤤

Best spot in all of Wburg for ramen and sushi. Cozy small room, awesome staff. I dream of the seasonal pea shoot salad. Also nice place to come solo and eat at the bar.

Exactly what bburg needed. A brilliant ramen joint (the pork broth is amazing) w/some of the most excellent sushi I've had in nyc. The scallop sushi was so heavenly that we had a piece as dessert.

The Hawaiian Fried Chicken Rice Bowl is a pretty amazing dish not to be overlooked.

Pretty eclectic mix - sushi, ramen & tacos! Small space, nice vibe tho. Good negronis. Tacos were decent, I'll be back to try the Ramen.
Elke NominikatAugust 16, 2014
Super cozy. Excellent fir love birds. Small but eclectic menu. Have some sushi & IPA and then move on...

Start with Pork Belly Bao, finish with some Yao Yao Ramen 😍
Leemor YuravlivkerJanuary 8, 2018
Do the spicy tuna roll and veggie ramen with poached egg. I honestly preferred the veggie ramen over the salmon one.

The yao yao ramen and chicken wings are an absolute must try! So delicious. Cash only 🤑
Christina ChinSeptember 10, 2015
Cute date spot. Ramen was flavorful and different. Egg poached instead of soft boiled. Would go back if I was in area
Kimmie OhhSeptember 3, 2020
Order ANY of their bowls.(this includes ramen, noodle bowls & rice bowls). You won’t be disappointed!
Luyba ZeylikmanOctober 19, 2016
The salmon ramen was very tasty. We also got some of the rolls to start including the spam roll. Super tasty, great hidden gem.
Julia MillotAugust 21, 2017
The salmon avocado roll was one of the best rolls I've ever had! The spicy tuna poke is also 🔥🔥
Ashley RoseJanuary 11, 2016
Not overly impressed with the salmon ramen - though my companion thoroughly enjoyed his YaoYao (pork) choice- with chili on the side.
Dan PyatetskyOctober 29, 2019
Favorite Ramen in NY. Yao Yao with Crispy Pork Belly and (sometimes) poached egg.
Vince C.June 28, 2015
Spam musabi was good and loved the pork ramen. Definitely do yourself a favor and get the Asahi tallboy!
Bradley PatrieDecember 8, 2013
The taco sampler was a great way to try all the tacos, but we learned soon that the pork was the best. Also the YaoYao ramen was delicious!
L SSeptember 25, 2017
The yaoyao ramen with egg + healthy dose of hot sauce is delicious! One of my top 5 favorite ramens in NY
Johnny WuMarch 22, 2015
Really interesting flavor palette for ramen. Almost coconut brothy. Chefs cooking background is influenced by Hawaiian food

Every single thing is good here. NOW OPEN FOR LUNCH ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY yoa yoa ramen, chicken tacos, Hawaiian fried chicken bowl great
Chris RaghoobarNovember 21, 2015
The YaoYao ramen w/ poached egg is one of the best bowls of ramen I've ever had. First timers should definitely go for it.
Alex RodriguezJune 11, 2013
Fish tacos, spicy salmon & avocado, spicy tuna with fried potato rolls were all amazing, def my new favorite Asian fusion spot in the 'hood
David RosenbergMay 6, 2014
Scallop sashimi + roasted salmon ramen + bottle of Shiner = All kinds of win. Go drink at the new Blind Barber across the road while you wait.
Wolfgang Wopperer-BeholzSeptember 18, 2014
Excellent Ramen and Hawaiian dishes, responsibly sourced ingredients, fantastic value for money. Plus the music is awesome.

It's a small place so there is often a wait at peak hours but it's really good. Try coming a bit early or late.
Vivek BelloreApril 8, 2016
One of the best bloody mary's around. Add in some ginger scallion noodles with tofu for a great hangover cure
AlessandraNovember 2, 2014
Salmon ramen is amazing! The filet is slightly rare in the middle, making it perfect.
Casey SchoonoverJuly 27, 2015
Really good fresh sushi (I tried the salmon & tuna poke). Yao Yao Ramen was bangin! Rich garlicky goodness!
Luc VDecember 19, 2014
Ramen is pretty good and unique, sushi is very good and fresh; all ingredients are locally sourced and fresh
