💡 Skip the obvious chashu-topped ramen on your first visit — try the Miso BOTAN-ical Ramen (VE) if you want something surprising: porcini mushroom broth, tofu chashu, and full plant-based flair. And if you’re really adventurous, go for the Showa Classic Shoyu — the anchovy & bonito addition deepens the broth in a way that stands out from most shoyu bowls in NYC. End with the Bomboloni Custard Cream Donuts and pair with a Lychee Martini or Yuzo Special sake for a dessert & drink combo that feels like the finale.

    I ordered the Miso Pork Chashu Ramen to-go. It had “grilled miso-glazed pork hashu, spicy ground pork, kimchi, kikurage mushroom, menma, and scallions.” The broth was pork bone with spicy miso. The broth was savory and the toppings were delicious. I really enjoyed the flavor the ground pork and kimchi added to the experience. The pork slices weren’t especially flavorful, but the broth was strong enough that I wasn’t too disappointed. I wasn’t expecting the restaurant to only accept cash, Venmo, Zelle or CashApp, but they had an ATM where I was able to extract funds since I don’t use those apps. Just something to be aware of.

    This is the Classic Ramen with “signature tonkotsu pork broth topped with 2 slices of Chashu pork and Green Onions.” This is an example of classic thin noodles, standard noodle firmness, and standard thickness and richness of the broth. I like to add karadare and rekkarise (medium) for some spice.

    The spicy miso salmon ramen was tasty and unorthodox in a cool way - a handsome slice of salmon with a palatable broth (anyone can handle that level of spice), chewy yellow noodles, and out-of-the-box toppings like black sesame and seaweed were neatly plated, giving a great balance of taste and a sense of healthiness without tradeoffs. All items on the menu hinted a similar curation of quality and sensibleness (e.g. their veggie mazemen), unless you’re a stoic ramen snob with strict rules you’d enjoy the “fusion” between Japan and Williamsburg vibes Suzume has to offer. Great for a date.
