“Yebisu definitely beat Chuko's ramen.”

“Nothing life-changing, but dinner for 3 + a kid at $25 per person including tip?”

  1. I came here with my boyfriend on a cold, rainy evening. It was the perfect weather for ramen. We got a table by the window. The tables were pretty big, which was nice. The restaurant has a modern look. We ordered the gyoza and pork buns to start. The gyoza were crispy on one side. Both appetizers were really good. We both had the miso ramen which had roasted and ground pork. We also ordered an egg in addition. It was delicious. The broth had so much flavor. We used the red spicy powder to spice it up a bit. We really liked the ramen. Overall, I would definitely return.

  2. The vibe of this place is chill, with dark walls taking you away from the brightness of the summer day and into a cool, indie-pop mix musicked den with dark red tables lit from overhead with exposed Edison-style bulbs. I could see this being a good place for a casual first date or a meet-up with friends.

    I came in early in the evening on a Monday, so there were only a few folks in the place. I was seated promptly, and after I quickly ordered the waitress made sure to clarify the additional toppings with me given that the outside display menu still says $1 extra, but the updated inside menus say $2 extra. I appreciated their attention to this detail, which speaks to their desire for clear customer expectations, also evidenced by the CASH ONLY signs papering not only the door but also every table's napkin/chopstick holder. I'm a fan of clear communication, so I was cool with this.

    I ordered the chicken ramen ($12), opting for a boiled egg, seaweed, and scallions to top it off. The steaming bowl came fragrant with the seaweed and scallions (which were in very generous proportions). The egg and pieces of chicken weren't warm, but they warmed up after being submerged in the tasty, rich broth. Noodles were pleasantly chewy, but I would he been a bit happier if everything was just a little bit hotter — but that's just my preference. At the end of my satisfying bowl I felt overwhelmed with bite after bite of scallion in my broth, so based on that I don't recommend option for scallion add-on.

    When my water glass was empty, it was promptly refilled; all members of the staff were friendly, attentive, and respectful.

    This is probably going to be my new go-to for ramen walking distance from my Park Slope apartment. Overall felt like a win, though at $24 including tip for a ramen with no drink, not something I would treat myself to every day, and I would hope they would make sure all elements of the bowl were hot before serving in the future (though is it that I am just not culturally competent and that is appropriate and normal?).

    Summary:
    Service: excellent
    Chicken ramen: highly satisfactory – add-ons generously supplied
    Environment: casual/cool/fun
    CASH ONLY

  3. Didn't think there would be any decent Ramen place in Brooklyn. Stumbled upon this shop with a friend. Was sort of disappointed of limited selections on the menu. There weren't many to begin with. I first started off with their pork bun. I was surprise how accurate it tasted like (Cha Siu) Roast pork and that al dente egg! oh man. Luving it. Tried their new cranberry salad. Just to balance out the pork bun. I would recommend them to put that with the bun and charge a little more. Instead of paying for 2 orders. The salad wasn't much of interest. On to the ramen! I had the Shoyu Ramen. I like the broth. Not overly powering like a lot of places I have eaten and the ramen was cooked in good consistency. I would come back to try this place again when they re-add the crossed out selections! But for now. they are "A-OK".

  4. Was super excited to try this place but ? the authenticity since visiting.

    The space is industrial with metal bench seating. We were seated immediately and the only diners at 6 pm on a rainy evening (perfect for slurping ramen).

    The edamame is served cold with a yuzu sesame sauce that's more "thrown"
    on than being "dressed or coated."

    Now for the ramen served with a big wooden spoon which is actually good for ramen noodles and slurps. Chicken ramen was a little bland with everything "thrown" in.

    My veggie miso had a hearty broth with a tiny spicy kick. The egg was pretty perfect but again the other ingredients "thrown" in. Kelp was cut oddly like the odd parts of a bell pepper, not enough bamboo and too much sliced onion.

    Point is don't just throw in the stuff, you gotta make a bowl of ramen with some heart and soul, authentic or not.

    Since it's so close to the home, I'd come back a few cold/rainy weeks/mths away.
