Never heard of the place, a friend invited me there for dinner. There was a long line of people waiting for a table, a good sign that the food would be good so the anticipation was building. We waited 20 minutes for a table, not too bad. Started with the pork buns and they were delicious and flavorful, we could have eaten an entire plate full! Now on to the ramen, I went with the traditional with extra pork and an egg, it was delicious! The broth was hearty and flavorful, the noodles were very good. Normally I order Ramen and I don't finish it all but it was so good, I was scooping in the bottom of the bowl to get the last few sips of broth! Great place for a tasty and inexpensive dinner, I noticed lots of families so kids love this place as well. Definitely will go back on my next trip to NYC.
