"One of my favorite ramen spots! This place never disappoints. I always go for the Koku Ramen (level 3 spicy). It’s packed with flavor, rich, and has just the right amount of heat. I’ve been here countless times, and each visit has been consistently great. Whether you’re a ramen lover or just trying it for the first time, I highly recommend this spot."

"Before leaving NY we wanted ramen to end the night. Ordered the chicken skewers and Koku Ramen. Was so glad we were able to find this gem. Alcohol was a bit of the expensive side but seeing the menu the lunch prices are super fair so will be back at an earlier time next time!"

"I thought the service and food was excellent! I ordered the spicy noodles, and I thought the noodles were not spicy, but! The first bite is not very spicy, but her staying power is very strong! The base of the soup was very strong (mine was chicken soup)."

"Ambiance (4/5): The front of the shop mimics classic Japanese ramen shops with bar seating overlooking the kitchen. The back has a mix of floor tables/booths and high-top tables. The high tables have stools with no backing which made my back hurt over the course of the meal. The music is low (which is nice), nicely lit, not noisy. The interior décor was very immersive and exciting. 
Service (4/5): The servers did not seem very friendly and did what they had to do. No issues getting our orders in or being serviced. 
Chicken Skewers (4/5): There were 3 skewers included with the large pieces! The sauce is sweet and flavorful, the chunks were not dry but also not juicy. 
Dan Dan Noodles (3/5): This was prepared unlike other Dan Dan noodles sauce was more tangy and the noodles were on the soft side. The noodles was spicy but not too spicy. 
Mild Koku Ramen (3/5): I did not really enjoy the dish—the charsu pork pieces were chewy and not seasoned through. I was a fan of the seasoned soft boiled eggs and the toppings that were included. The broth was savory but was missing something. The thin straight noodles were okay."

"this spot just hits different at 1am in the morning! I got Koku ramen (medium spice), the broth is very rich, not too spicy, next time I’d pick pork instead (the chicken slices are a little salty for my liking). The chicken karaage came out mouth-burning hot, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside (100% rec). Though the orders/service took long (they seem understaffed that night, only 2 servers), our waiters were super polite and helpful! It’s also decently spacious, didn’t have to wait (but then again it was at 1am lmao). I’d def come back here again!"
