Description

Chef-owner Yohei Ishida, an Ippudo alumnus, opened this spot in 2017. The kitchen prepares many of its elements from scratch, including the chashu, bamboo shoots, and tare. Alongside Tokyo-style classics, the menu features vegetable-based broths and vegan options, plus ramen salads, sake, and beer. It is a snug Manhattan spot with a casual East Village charm, though the limited seating frequently leads to waits. A few diners note that while the savory flavors stand out, the toppings and meat portions can lean on the lighter side.
