Comment: Lived in the UES for almost 3 years and always wanted to try Kuu. My only question after eating there tonight was, “WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG!?” Had the Spicy Tonkotsu Miso ramen and it was spot on! The broth and spicy pulled pork were so delicious! I left so satisfied, words can’t describe! This place will be a regular visit for me.

Comment: The ramen was perfect. The broth was just right, and the noodles taste handmade. Would highly recommend. Everything tastes very fresh. My only small critique was that my husbands soup was very hot while mine was tepid. But the flavour and everything else made up for it. Probably of of the top 2 best ramens Ive ever had

Comment: The set up of the restaurant is more like a fast food joint with tiny tables but the ramen was actually very good. The Tonkatsu was made with heart, broth was rich and hot, and the char siu was tender. The noodle was of a good texture and overall it was an enjoyable bowl of ramen. I am also a hard critic of ramen, and u can see I would rate this little ramen shop above the overrated Tonchin and Ivan ramen.. I also got 3 hand rolls and they were also fresh and delicious. Definitely would return.

Comment: It is a good place to eat dinner with Pork Katsu Curry and it is very creamy which I like and there is meat inside the curry, which also give it a good extra experience of the curry and the fried chicken was good also due to it has spicy mayo on the side to give it flavor and lemon to give it flavor too

It’s a perfect casual lunch location for an easy comfort meal, and there is no bad item on the menu. Their Lower Manhattan location is equally as good too!

Especially I liked my spicy Tonkotsu miso ramen with thick pork broth and spicy pulled pork. It claims that the pork broth was cooked for 11 hours which I totally believe so because of its rich flavor.

I ordered the Vegan Paitan Ramem and it was really good. The vegetables and pasta tasted fresh and the Tofu and soup were delicious. The dinning place seems a bit tight (I didnt dine in) and takeout was a breeze. The cashier was super nice.

Comment: One of the best Japanese restaurants in the city. I love the choices, fantastic (especially if you are vegetarian), fast and really great staff. Really authentic and better quality than most Japanese restaurants (nothing frozen). This is a hidden gem.

Comment: Absolutely incredible place. Best ramen in this part of town.What separates them is service. Always kind and attentive and so polite. When my wife and I left our hand sanitizer behind, the kind waiter held onto it until we returned weeks later, having forgotten we left it. He remembered us and that we left it and promptly returned it. Just a wonderful place - even during summer, with their cold ramen!Can’t-beat happy hour, too.

We had Ramen, buns, and rolls and they were very good and as mentioned in other comments the portions were generous. I will most defiantly order again and I found the prices to reasonable for the area.

Comment: Looking for comfort? Look no further. Well priced, well portioned Japanese comfort food. Well worth the visit!Very quaint, quiet, and warm seating area. We ordered the Takoyaki, Takowasa, ramen, and handroll set. All very delicious.The takoyaki were a bit small but had a healthy portion of octopus. I am also pleasantly delighted with the Takowasa. Good, strong spicy, sweet, and sour flavors and was really good to add to the handrolls. Yum!The sukiyaki beef was super oily (it was dripping!!), but it was the most delicious. Yum yum yum.Definitely coming back here again.

Comment: Come, my friends. Let me tell you a story. A story of love. A story of hunger. A story of Kuu. It was a warm autumn night, a covidy night, and, I yearned. I yearned for ramen. I yearned for ramen just as I had on many a nights’ past. It was a yearning in my heart, and not my belly, as, the Iittle Jewish boy that I am, happen to be a tonkatsu ramen elitist (that’s pork based broth for those unfamiliar) but I wanted… no, I needed… something lighter on this particular evening. Could it have been the double Shack Burger and black and white shake earlier in the day? Perhaps… perhaps. Nevertheless, on this particular evening, I wanted something lighter. And while my heart said ramen, my belly said pho. A modern twist on the classic tale of “Chinese or Thai” but tonight… tonight my friends, it was Japanese or Vietnamese. A man torn, I was- deciding- no, vacillating, between ramen or pho on this particular evening on the upper east side of the center of the universe. My culinary excursion succumbed to the desires of my first true love- ramen, albeit reluctantly. ‘Twas then, after a quick google maps search, that decided upon, and shortly thereafter stumbled into Kuu. And this… this is where my story begins, because on this night, I was feeling not only adventurous, but trying my best to strike a balance between heart and gut, compromise, and harmony within myself. And when I gazed upon the menu, it was at that moment when I decided to try something I’d dared not try before; scorned even, being a tonkatsu elitist and all. I ordered the Okinawa Shio. A salt base, and traditionally lighter type of ramen. Kuu my god! Amazing. A light, flavorful broth; the noodles, oh the noodles… just reaching al dente when the dish was presented to me. The chicken Katsu?… Know what? Go! Just go and find out for yourself. You don’t need to read my silly review to find quality ramen on the upper east side. Just go to Kuu. You’ll coo.

Comment: Very hard to find a great ramen place in nyc, cus everything is fusion!!!However, if you like authentic Japanese ramen, come to Kuu!!! The size is decent (most places offer small portion), kakuni pork is awesome!!! I personally like fat, great balance on fat and lean part, plus tilts a huge meat!!!Staff is very kind, offered me free drink of honey green tea mix, as a tea resin who loves honey, it’s also a good one!!So what I’m saying is, Kuu is definitely worth a try!!!

Comment: Had their Okinawa Shiu ramen. The broth and egg were absolutely delicious. Looking back I made the rookie error of not getting an extra egg.The noodles however were a bit of a let down. They could have been a bit more tender and less chewy. Id definitely come back for a quick lunch and give it another shot as the price is pretty good. If I wanted to go somewhere for a great ramen, this wouldnt be the place. The noodles are the reason it got a 4.

Comment: So happy to have a Kuu location so much closer instead of having to go way downtown. As always, you can expect great ramen and rice dishes. The staff are super amazing and can make great recommendations if you ask them politely.I fully endorse and recommend the Shio Tonkotsu ramen, but any of their rice dishes are superb. They have a verity of drinks that go well and match your dishes no matter what flavor pallet you have.
