Chef Kenji Tanaka spent fifteen years mastering the art of tonkotsu ramen in Fukuoka, Japan's ramen capital. In 2019, he brought that obsession to Williamsburg.
Our broth simmers for 18 hours. The noodles are made fresh daily. Every bowl is a ritual—crafted with precision, served with soul.
"Ramen is not fast food. It's slow food, served fast." — Chef Kenji Tanaka
★★★★★"Best ramen I've had outside of Japan. The broth is incredibly rich and the noodles have the perfect chew. Worth the wait."
★★★★★"The spicy miso is life-changing. I've been back four times this month. Staff is incredibly friendly and the vibe is perfect."
★★★★★"Finally, a vegetarian ramen that doesn't feel like an afterthought. The tantanmen is creamy, spicy, and absolutely delicious."
