Menkoi Sato

Manhattan • Sapporo • 8.8/10

💡 If you’re visiting Menkoi Sato, don’t miss the Hokkaido Zangi fried chicken—one of the best Japanese fried chicken dishes in New York City—served hot and flavorful alongside a bowl of ramen. Add a seasoned ajitama egg to your noodles for extra richness, or round out your meal with gyoza. Since the West Village ramen shop is small and fills up quickly, arrive early or during off-peak hours to avoid long waits.
