    Still one of my favorite places, but the taste of the food has changed a bit. I went to their grand reopening last night and felt so welcomed in the space. The staff is awesome and the atmosphere was great. That said, I have to admit the flavors of the ramen were a little different than I remember. I still enjoyed the meal, but it felt slightly underwhelming compared to past visits.

    I had a great time here, the food is great. They'll have classic options and creative options. Noodles are made in house and they brew their broth over many hours, this place is the real deal! The staff is very friendly too!

    Meijin Ramen in Manhattan really impressed us. We started with the karaage chicken — perfectly crisp, juicy, and delicious with the dipping sauce and lemon on the side. The spicy chili ramen had a bold, punchy broth with just the right amount of heat, balanced by fresh toppings and a jammy egg — definitely a standout if you like spice. The tonkotsu ramen was rich and silky, with tender slices of pork, black garlic oil for depth, and noodles cooked just right. Both bowls felt thoughtful and satisfying without being overly heavy. Great atmosphere, quick service, and quality ingredients across the board

Frequently asked questions

  • We tag a shop as veg-friendly if it offers either vegetarian or vegan options (e.g., shoyu or miso with veggie broth). Vegan-only bowls are marked with a “Vegan” badge on the list.
  • When a shop labels a bowl as vegetarian/vegan, we expect a meat-free base. Some kitchens may use shared equipment—ask your server if cross-contact matters to you.
  • Yes—look for the “GF” badge. Note: classic ramen noodles contain wheat; GF options are typically rice or yam-based noodles when available.
  • 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.
