Fresh House Noodles and Black Garlic Tonkotsu in the West Village
Slurp miso, curry, and black garlic tonkotsu bowls over house made noodles in a snug brick walled room.
🍜 Noodles Made In House
RamenYa keeps things small and serious on Sixth Avenue, a narrow West Village room lined with exposed brick, warm globe lights, and a wood counter facing the open kitchen. The noodles are made in house, and they land in three broths worth knowing. The miso bowl arrives loaded with chashu, sweet corn, cabbage, scallions, and a jammy soft egg. The black garlic tonkotsu runs darker and richer, finished with nori and crisp fried garlic. A spiced curry ramen rounds out the lineup for anyone chasing heat. The chashu comes seared at the edges, and the fat renders soft while the caramelized crust holds its bite. Order the karaage first, fried craggy and squeezed with lemon, while the broth is still building. Counter seats suit a solo lunch, and the room stays cozy for a slow dinner with one other person.
