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.

    Stopped by Ippudo NYC and tried the Akamru Shinaji tonkotsu ramen, the pork bun, and a Shoga Me ginger drink. The ramen broth was rich and creamy with deep umami flavor, and the noodles had a soft chew. The pork bun was soft, juicy, and packed with flavor, easily one of the best in the city. The Shoga Me was refreshing and flavorful, it balanced out the meal. The staff were friendly, and the atmosphere was lively but comfortable. Definitely one of the best ramen spots in New York City — Only a 5

    great service!

  • The Chashu kidd
    ★★★★★ 5.0

    My #2 favorite ramen spot in NYC — and easily the best place for Jiro-style ramen in the city. TabeTomo doesn't just serve a meal, they serve a challenge — massive portions, bold flavors, and thick, chewy noodles that soak up every drop of their rich, garlicky broth. The pork is generous and tender, and every bowl feels like an event. If you're craving Jiro-style and want it done right, this is the spot. Bonus: their appetizers are fire (definitely get the gyoza). You’ll walk out full, satisfied, and probably already planning your next visit.

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

  • The Chashu kidd
    ★★★★★ 4.5

    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.

    The smoked pork ramen at Momofuku had tender pork belly and springy noodles that really stood out, but the broth felt rather ordinary.

    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.
