Sugoi Ramen & Izakaya
4.8 (259)restaurant
Sip Pokémon-themed cocktails and slurp rich tonkotsu ramen under cherry blossoms at this Manhattan comfort food spot.
Description




Beyond the signature bowls, the menu offers a broad lineup of Japanese comfort classics, featuring appetizers, donburi, and yakitori. The kitchen focuses on texture and balance: the fried chicken (karaage) and pork cutlets are crispy and juicy, while the soft shell crab tempura delivers a distinct crunch. For the main event, the Fukuoka Tonkotsu and seafood ramen arrive in generous portions with deep, flavorful broths that avoid being overly heavy or salty. Bowls like the seafood ramen come piled with toppings, including shrimp tempura, soft-boiled egg, and chashu, served quickly by a friendly staff.
