Not good miso pork ramen. Murky brown broth and not fresh meat. Quite possibly the worst bowl of ramen I've ever purchased and I actually felt a bit sick afterwards.
Looks and tastes mass produced without much care. The other restaurants in the food court seem much more delicious and fresh and I would definitely eat elsewhere next time.
Also, cash only for under $10 purchases. The bowl of ramen falls just under that.
Noodle 32 has some pretty decent ramen, but not the greatest.
This Ramen shop is located inside a food court in the center of Korea town in midtown Manhattan.
The ramen soup is Korean style ramen noodle soup with Korean ingredients and flavors, served with a side of kimchee.
The soup is tasty and the noodles are good, but it lacks in flavor, maybe because I am used to Japanese style Ramen.
I always order the pork ramen soup, it's a very convenient way to get your ramen fix, and the price is very affordable.
I recommend stoping in for a nice hot bowl of Ramen noodle soup, Noodle 32 has many options to choose from.
This is a stall in the Gallery 32 food court, in the back on the right. K-Town can run on the more expensive end, so if you're looking for good Korean food on a budget, I definitely recommend Noodle 32.
I got the #3, which is "BiBimNaengMyun" (~$10 with tax) and it was soooo good. It's a huge bowl of long, thin buckwheat noodles, served with some meat, half a hard-boiled egg, and thinly sliced cucumbers in a light, spicy, icy broth. It comes with wasabi and vinegar, DEFINITELY add these to the noodles, it really improves the flavor. I've never had noodles quite like these, so thin but so tough to cut with your front teeth that you literally must slurp them. So I wouldn't recommend this for a date (and hopefully you aren't going on dates in food courts in the first place) but I highly recommend the noodles, especially for hot days.
Fast service
Great noodles, nice flavor on the broth.
I wanted to love this place, until I got 2 huge pieces of egg shells in the broth.
Let's nothing like egg shell to totally ruin your lunch.
Disappointing
I was hungry too.. And usually when you're hungry almost anything can taste good! I had the black bean sauce noodles (jajang noodles) and man there was like no flavor to it what so ever.. One of those canned bean sauces from H mart would have been better.
My bf ordered the #16 Korean beef miso ramen and he was underwhelmed.
The staff is really nice though.. Just wish the food was good.
All in all check out the other options in the food gallery
A nice place for lunch. Very large portions, and quite well made. However service was incredibly slow. Myself and 2 other people ordered the same thing, and instead of making 3 dishes together, they decided to make each dish individually, thus tripling the time I had to wait.
Other big con is that they insist on placing a cling wrap over the top of their piping hot bowls of noodle soups. The near boiling soup forms a large steam bubble under the cling wrap and it's nearly impossible to open without burning yourself.
I went here with my mom, my son and my daughter after working up an appetite shopping at Macy's a couple of blocks away.
We found this nice little noodle stand shortly after wandering into the Korea Town Food Court. My mom and my daughter split three California rolls. My son ordered some kind of Korean ramen style noodle bowl after the owners warned him off of some super spicy linguine noodle seafood dish. I told the owners that I will have the aforementioned super spicy noodle dish, in spite of their warnings (and my assurances that I could handle it).
I am glad I ordered it. It was wonderful. Just the right amount of heat. My son even liked it and tried it. It was better than the ramen noodle bowl he had ordered. My spicy dish had linguine noodles in a spicy fish sauce / fiery fish broth with several clams on the half shell and other bits of seafood (bits of clams, octopus, squid, and oddly enough one large shrimp). There was also onions and zucchini layered in for good measure / texture.
My sons dish had a large cluster of ramen noodles, some sliced sections of udon noodle, and bits of egg and meat slices. He could not finish or perhaps would not finish it because it was too bland.
I gave him some bites of my spicy noodle dish. His dish came with a small side of kimchi; he did not want it. So I ate the kimchi. My spicy noodle dish came with a small bowl of seafood miso soup. I sipped all of the miso broth and then gave my son the seaweed on the bottom of the bowl.
My mom and daughter polished off what was left of my son's ramen noodle bowl (about half of it was left when my son gave it away to them).
The fun part of the meal happened when I poured all of the excess spicy fish broth / hot sauce off of my plate into the empty miso side soup bowl (filling up the bowl).
My son and I took turns taking sips of the spicy broth / hot sauce while my daughter took video footage of "the contest" on her smart phone. It was glorious!!!! I love this place! It is very good! And dirt cheap by NYC standards. I am a fan.
Not one of the best ramen I've had; my main complaint is the large amount of cooked onions that were in my ramen. I had to sort through the onions in order to get to the noodles (mid-way through the ramen). The broth was also not that flavorful. The service was decent, (around 15-20 minutes) and I appreciate how they cover the top of the bowl with a plastic wrap since I have to travel upstairs for additional seating.
I asked them if they served any drinks and they said no. Luckily, there is a Kung Fu bubble tea stand closeby in the same floor and I was able to order my drink and receive it before the ramen was ready. The ramen came with a side of kimchi, which was a nice touch but did not really help with the ramen overall, in terms of flavor.
