“Went to Karazishi Botan for our ramen meetup, this is definitely a spot you have to go to multiple times. First thing that stood out was the staff, super friendly, playful, and just made the whole experience feel easy. The space is also set up well and not cramped, there's not too many people that go there on Sunday afternoon apparently. The appetizers were a highlight. We got the shishito peppers and the black dumplings, both were solid, but the red dumplings easily stole the show. They’ve got a nice kick but are not too hot, really balanced and worth getting. They also have a really good lineup at the bar, the homemade ginger ale was really good. Menu wise, this place goes deep. There are a lot of ramen options and they are all pretty different from each other, which makes it feel like you need a few visits to really get a sense of what they do. I had the Paint It Black, a garlicky seasonal ramen, and it really stood out. The broth leans more on the sweet side than smoky, with a rich, almost caramelized garlic flavor that gives it depth without feeling too heavy. It still has that strong umami base, but the slight sweetness makes it really easy to keep going back for more. It is one of those bowls that grows on you the more you eat it. I have heard great things about their tsukemen too, so that is next on my list. Overall, this is a spot you come back to, not just try once. @thursdaybabyy @ashleyd.”

“I went to one of their pop-up events to try the to-go ramen cups. The line was about an hour, but they were handing out water while we waited, which I appreciated. I’m assuming the wait was mostly because of the Ramen day event, this is the first time she served To-Go cups. The ramen itself was solid. The broth had good flavor, and you can tell there’s real care behind it, this isn’t something thrown together. They had bacon in the ramen, which threw me off at first, but it actually worked. It stayed crispy where it needed to and didn’t get soggy like I expected. For a to-go format especially, it holds up surprisingly well. Honestly, I’d give it a 5 just for the concept alone. I haven’t seen anyone else in NYC doing ramen like this to-go, and the execution shows they’re taking it seriously. @chewyaki @dannywu”

“Here you go—copy/paste ready: ⸻ Wow. This just rocked my universe. I got the lobster and pork ramen (made it spicy) and my friend got the spider buns and tofu. My goodness. All of the food was perfection. Not only that but the service was amazing and the decor was so trendy and cute. Best ramen I’ve had in years, it was so savory and hearty. I’m bringing everyone here. It’s my new favorite spot.”

“This is my neighborhood ramen spot and it’s my fave. I can tell they take their time preparing each dish and you can taste the energy. The service is immaculate, one of the workers even remembered me from the last time I was there lol. They do awesome fusion “New York style” options which was a lot of fun to try. Overall I’d highly recommend checking them out.”

“My usual at Ichiran! So far, the one of many ramen shops in Manhattan that don’t make me feel too bloated afterwards.”

“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.”
