Guys need a recommendation for a good ramen restaurant in NYC.

I really enjoy Hide-Chan on East 52nd (it's pronounced "he-day chan"). Also enjoy Ippudo, but the wait is always crazy. For a quick lunch, I will sometimes go Nishida Sho-ten on E49th. The noodles are okay, but the pork belly is so tender.

There are a ton of spots around the city. You just have to try them all.

Ippudo - there are two or three in midtown.

I love Nishida Sho-ten.

After 1am, you will see several Japanese Piano Bar girls have ramen at this place.

Kambi is closed. That was the sister shop of Minca, the original ramen joint, and one of the first in the city. I have been eating there for 15 years and it's the only ramen bowl I eat now after trying a lot of other places. I recommend the thick noodle bowl - either the Basic or Shoyu. The gyoza are also very good.

Totto Ramen is the best in NYC, but I also really enjoy Lucky Cat. There's a place in K-Town in the market that's really good, I don't remember their name.
I only do spicy ramen, fwiw.

Totto Ramen, definitely. The best I've had. Ippudo is pretty popular too, but tried them and didn't really like it.

There is one I used to visit whenever I went to Venus Touch
Third Ave around 35 or 36 street (on east side of street.)
Can't think of the name but good ramen and great fried guyozo.
with cold draft Sapporo on tap, perfect combo!

If you’re interested in Korean Ramen check out Jeju Noodle Bar. The broth is really thick here and very good. Actually got a Michelin star this year. Easily one of the best bowls of ramen I’ve ever had. Ippudo is also a very solid choice.

Downscale: Totto Ramen is awesome. If you’re alone, you can usually get seated quickly at the counter even when there’s a line.

Upscale: Ippudo is excellent. Also good chance of early seating if alone.

I second Nakamura!! Ippudo is a favorite as well but you have to be there for the first seating or you are going to be waiting.

 

[sexmajik]

oh no, that was my favorite.

Minca has the same menu. He opened a new place in Brooklyn after Kambi closed.

 

[jonbrook]

Ippudo. The broth is amazing.

 

[hikeupskirts]

I tried Chicken soup based Ramen and totally bad. Pork based soup with noodle might much better.

Teppen Ramen is my go to because it's a block down from NYAW
It's my tradition to get Teppen after a session
Best in NYC though is ichiran
Totto does too much with their ramen and Ippudo is just aight

Can't comment on Ramen.
But for Pho...Lu's Baguette is very good.
And you can gawk at hot, young, Asian college girls from Baruch!

Which reminds me.
