this pork thing ramen is so damn good. yes it's a bit oily but it's ramen !! ramen is supposed to be oily, non!? and omg it's BYOB, ramen is actually good with red wine :)
- Djaniella D.April 13, 2015I really enjoyed the Nose to Tail Ramen. The flavor and texture is all there, from the crispiness of the pork to the softness of the noddles. Definitely recommend!
Love the ramen burger and capuccino! Had the veggie ramen and hen full ramen too. Both very good for my taste. Soul food for me during this very cold day. :-)
Kyle ByeMay 31, 2015Amazing service! I'm a sucker for the $13 classic A Hen Full ramen bowl with chicken meatballs, dashi, and shoyu broth.
La B.December 2, 2013Get the ramen burger. Hold off on the nose to tail ramen. Unless of course you want to give it a try.. Maybe you'll like it more than I did.
Joe BlossomSeptember 7, 2015The mazeman (no broth) ramen choices are the best part of the menu. Which, while they are great, they're in a whole different category than traditional ramen.
Ralph AndreAugust 31, 2014Burgers are really juicy and well made! Wish they were a little bigger. The roasted pork ramen is really tasty also.
New menu is rocking it! My favorite is the Farro risotto! Tons of vegan options too! Homemade almond milk! Woot!!
Kasey MaDecember 6, 2013First time trying a Ramen burger and it was out of this world. They really know how to make their Brussel sprouts too!
The Fresh Fish Mazeman special - it's a different combination everyday & is always amazing.
Sam HOctober 1, 2015Was searching for a great ramen place and have found it! A tad salty so guzzle down some water, but the noodles are soooo good.
Al AlvarezJanuary 4, 2014everything is awesome here. nose to tail ramen is better than some of the ramen in the city! what a find!!!
Peter YuscavageFebruary 21, 2014Try the Ramen burger (not really a burger). It tastes delicious, comes with brussel sprouts. You'll be pleasantly surprised.
Jarrett 🌈 NolanDecember 18, 2013Attentive staff, filling portions and BYOB makes this place a welcome addition to the neighborhood. :-)
Go for the ramen... Hen chicken meatballs w ramen and dashi broth is yummy.. Great depth of flavour
Ronnie RothNovember 7, 2015If you go here make sure to get any one of the ramen dishes! I had the nose to tail and that was amazin!
The mazemen dishes are fantastic and a good choice if you prefer a drier, less brothy style of ramen.
Go there for Mazemen, the Octopus salad and Carbonated Negroni
Jason CecilioJanuary 31, 2014Good service. First timer. Server explained different specials and menu. Order the ramen burger.
Suneil MalhotraJanuary 3, 2015Great restaurant with fresh take on both vege6and non vegetarian food.
Gary TorielloAugust 9, 2014Great butcher in the store. They get whole animals, and carve them up on site.
Jersey City GalFebruary 1, 2014My full review here:
Nice addition to the area, decent ramen, hope this place does well.
Mallory MazerJanuary 5, 2014Everything is super oily.... if you have a sensitive stomach you have been warned!
Ramen burger is small. Smaller than you think. More of a snack if anything.
Second time here in four days. Haven't seen anyone who is in charge which is disappointing considering this is a new restaurant. Service is suffering because of the lack of attentiveness.

"Lots of breakfast option, especially for those looking for savory over sweet. Best quiche in the area, try the zucchini! Or the spinach feta roll!"
