Kamisama Ramen
3 community reviews
- Ashley D.★★★★★ 5.0
That ramen was delicious. They specialize in the “jiro” style and it’s not a simple meal lol. Come with an empty stomach and a good spirit. I split a bowl with my friend and that was a great choice. The service was on point and I’m pretty sure our server was the only person working in the front at that time. He held it down.

- The Chashu kidd★★★★ 4.0
Kushi Kushi Yaki was a hit. We came with a group of 8 from Laura’s ramen meetup—easy seating, friendly staff, fun vibe. I got the basic tonkotsu: rich, savory broth with firm noodles, and they bring free hot seasonings on the side to tweak the heat. Yakitori was excellent and the cocktails were legit. Lots of ramen choices (around eight). Great spot for groups—would definitely come back.

Frequently asked questions
- We mark a shop as cheap if its price level is “$” or it’s flagged as budget-friendly (good value bowls, frequent deals, or lunch specials).
- Look for lunch combos, skip extra chashu, and consider half-size bowls or add-ons like kaedama only if you’re hungry.
- Visit Cheap Ramen NYC.
- The Staff Pick badge is awarded to ramen shops personally selected by our editorial team for their exceptional quality, consistency, and unique experience. We’re still exploring and tasting across NYC—if you have a spot you think deserves a Staff Pick, email us at hello@ramen-nyc.com.
- The Featured badge highlights ramen shops that have partnered with us for premium visibility. These spots are showcased prominently but still meet our community standards for quality. If you’d like your shop to be considered, please contact us.
- You can submit new ramen events or restaurant listings by visiting our Contact Us page and sending us the details.
- It depends on the style and origin. Each ramen should be judged by how authentically it represents its region—for example, a Hakata-style tonkotsu should be rich, creamy, and true to Fukuoka traditions. The “best” ramen for you will match your taste while staying faithful to its roots. Join the conversation on our Discord server.
