As a huge fan of ramen and tsukemen (i.e., dipping noodles), I enjoy trying to find all the good tsukemen.

Back in 2012 and like Ippudo, this was supposedly another must-try ramen place that was highly raved by the NYC food scene.

For a free night on the way back from work, I stopped by this semi-new tsukemen place.

I remember a few years ago before the pandemic, TabeTomo was a very new tsukemen centric restaurant, and it was always on my try list.

My partner on a late Saturday evening was planning to get some food with their friend, so that means I can venture out on my own.

I just have this affinity for noodles.

I’ve been to Tsurutontan a few times already in various locations including Union Square and Midtown next to Rockafeller Center.

EAK Ramen is located on 6th Ave close to 14th.

Occasionally, I can grab food for myself after work, and I tend to look for noodles.

What is tsukemen (つけ麺; pronounced “skee-men”)?

I had visited Ippudo twice before this time throughout my whole life, once in London and once in the East Village.

This is an updated review for the Midtown / Times Square (Theater District) location for Ichiran.
