Our Take
Launched in 2018 by a local chef collective, Nakamura’s torigara broth is simmered for 12 hours, delivering bright, savory notes. The menu rotates garnishes like braised cabbage and pickled mustard for a light yet satisfying bowl.

“They’ve updated their menu from what I’ve remembered (with some Chines inspiration), nonetheless the high quality remains the same. The XO miso ramen had ingredients like sichuan pepper, yuzu, and barley tea that brought a refreshing twist to the typical miso ramen, and the dishes we tried had similar delightful tweaks that gave us a welcoming “update” of the menu and experience. The meal was a reminder that Nakamura is a place not to sleep on.”

“this place has changed a lot! and for the good, the menu has so many varieties of ramen, they truly captured the spirit of what it takes to survive NYC as a ramen restaurant. they have clearly labeled pork, vegan, and fish options. I had the Torigara while my friends got the Tsukemen and the XO Miso. They also did a great job with the presentation. The specials were great as well. I give it a 5 for food not necessarily because of taste (though it's above average) but for variety. I'll definitely need to come back.”
