Summary

This is a relatively new spot that has opened up in the last couple months.

The pork buns were surprisingly decent. I think they were a little expensive for each as is most Manhattan foods, but it was good.

What was interesting to me was lobster ramen. It had miso flavored soup broth and of course lobster meat with shells. They gave a shell cracker on the side, and they definitely did not skimp on the meat. They gave chashu and lobster here. Even though I am pretty good at extracting lobster meat, I never realized how annoyed I’d be at doing it out of a soup. I think I prefer more of the Boiling Crab style if it came to that. The lobster meat definitely was a good value for the cost of this ramen soup (I think like ~18$?). However, next time, I’d probably not let my eyes dictate over my common sense. I think it was a good idea, but for me I felt the work to extract the meat was not worth it.

The broth itself was pretty good too. I still prefer EAK though.

Final Verdict

Decent ramen in the Chelsea area. Avoid the lobster ramen unless you want a mess. I’d probably prefer this over Oramen, but that’s just me.

Yelp Jabs

This place was amazing! Came here because of the “but 1 the second ramen get 50% off” deal, and it’s definitely worth the price!

So is it worth the price because it was a BOGO (Buy One Get One) or was it a great value without?

Delicious ramen!! Came here tonight for a quick dinner and also to snag that BOGO half off deal that ends today. I got the spicy miso ramen. Extremely rich but so tasty! I don’t usually drink the broth because it’s too rich but this one was so yummy that I couldn’t resist.

I’m pretty sure this Yelp Elite won’t be visiting this shop in the near future since the BOGO ended. Can’t a broth be yummy and rich?
