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.

    I got full halfway through the bowl. The noodles are thick and the broth is really creamy without being too oily

    Menkoi Sato is one of my favorite spots in NYC. The chicken broth is clean, flavorful, and it holds true to the Hokkaido style. Their ramen menu has something for everyone. The atmosphere is relaxed and the space works well for groups, plus the staff is always friendly and welcoming. This is most likely the best ramen you can get in that west 4th area.
