EAK Ramen is located on 6th Ave close to 14th. I used to venture here all the time pre-pandemic, and there was always a line or people. I was curious to see how the restaurant was like since. Back in September 2018, I thought it was one of the better ramen places, but now, EAK also has a ton more competition all over the city. We were able to walk in on a Sunday early afternoon around 4 PM.

Pretty good tsukemen. Get the spicy miso. Tsukemen seems fairly rare in NYC. Still looking for something similar to LA Tsujita.

Decent ramen. Got some super fancy ramen, and it was fat. Not the best though and it’s in a not so great neighborhood.

Decent ramen in the Greenpoint area.

This place was decent. Had to wait about 20 minutes. I think price wise it’s slightly cheaper than East Village stuff.

Beef noodle ramen was not as good as Taiwanese beef noodle. Passssss.

For whatever reason, there are 2 locations within neighboring vicinity of each other in the West Village. The ramen is similar to Shinsengumi. Slightly disappointed.

I think this is still one of my top favorite ramen places in NYC. It’s cash only.

It seems I only wrote “pretty good” on my spreadsheet, and right now I am drawing a blank about this place.

It’s ok. Broth is not great, but tuna bowl is good. I think this restaurant is owned by Morimoto.
