Garlic Ramen and Katsu Curry Ramen on University Place NYC

Ramen Takumi brings wood paneling and dim lighting to a cozy noodle shop at 1 University Pl in Manhattan. Settle in with an appetite and let a bowl be the starting point, rather than the whole plan. The tables sit close together amid a moderate buzz, giving the meal an intimate setting with plenty happening around you.

Try the garlic ramen loaded with garlic chips, or choose chicken katsu curry ramen for a different direction. Sushi, crispy takoyaki, and karaage extend the options, whether you are sticking to a single dish or adding something alongside it. A cup of jasmine tea makes an easy pairing. Beer, wine, and sake are also on the menu for anyone looking for a drink with their meal.

Service runs from 11 AM to 11 PM Sunday through Thursday, and from 11 AM to midnight Friday and Saturday.
