Came here with my Yelper pal Nathan W. on a late night ramen hunt.

Let's just talk about how great RRK's Curry Ramen is. A little sweet, a little spice, and everything nice. The curry broth was rich and hearty, but it still had the consistency of…More »

Hi everyone, I live in Manhattan and this is my obligatory Ippudo review.

It's hard to give this restaurant any thing but a 4 stars. It's delicious, yes, but is it really the hands-down-best-ramen-restaura nt that everyone hypes it up to be? And is…More »

My go-to Ramen stop. It's pretty consistent in terms of quality and the service is always quick and friendly. It gets crowded sometimes, but the line goes fast. I usually get the deal, $11.50 for your choice of appetizer (Curry, Buta-don, or Gyoza)…More »

I do come here quite a bit. Enough to know that's it's just alright. The service is great, but the ramen isn't worth remembering.

I've tried a few of the different ramens here: Terakawa, the namesake dish that offers a rich pork based broth. Decent,…More »

'Bout time I wrote a review of Sushi Park since I find myself with a group of friends here every weekend. I'll be the first to admit that I'm a complete amateur when it comes to sushi, which is understandable because well, I don't eat seafood. (This…More »

I'm really not a fan. My friend is obsessed with this place so I said why not. To start, I didn't like the ambience. I don't know anything about Japanese bars or culture but broadly speaking, all the decorations were unappealing and the music was a 6…More »

I was STARVING when I got here. I decided it was a curry day so I had the Curry/Rice starter and a Curry Ramen, and we got some mochi for dessert, pretty standard stuff. Everything was satisfying since I was so hungry, but I've definitely had better…More »
