Comment: Great spot for a quick bite on a cozy cold day. DELICIOUS! Enjoyed the decor and watching the ramen be made while waiting for our food.The Japanese buns hit the spot as well. They portion the ramen perfectly and the chicken katsu is yummy.Recommend 100%

Comment: It’s pretty small and tight but it adds up to the uniqueness and the atmosphere. The food is absolutely AMAZING, I’ve never taste ramen and kaarage so good. The portions are more than enough, and yet you always want to keep eating.It was my first time in a long time since I’ve been to NYC and I’ll definitely be going back, and recommending anyone who likes ramen and Japanese food to definitely try that place!The serve was also very friendly and even allowed me to charge my phone in the kitchen (he really saved my day there).

Comment: While Im more used to ordering the Naruto ramen at their location on the Upper West Side, the miso ramen was a nice change of pace. This is also a budget friendly place just like the other location crosstown.As good as the food was, this location is much smaller than their location on the Upper West Side and that place is small. It might be better to order take out.

Comment: The ramen was good, but it could have been better in sense of seasoning. The service is great because of the people there, they make you feel comfortable and the atmosphere if is to busy is going to be a little awkward because the space is reduced. Besides that it a fun experience.

Comment: I like the closeness to the train station and the food is really tasty. I LOVED the posts they have from several animes and the One Piece wanted posters look amazing there. The music its a banger, as an anime watcher for more than a decade, I knew almost all the songs they played. The place is a little small and has a lot of clients (when we finished eating, there was a huge line waiting to go on), though there is not wheelchair accessibility...The service was pretty quick and waitresses were always attentive in every aspect. They have forks if you cant use chopsticks too, just ask them and theyll get them for you.(Edit: just added the ramen pic my friend took)

Comment: Came here for lunch while in the area, and really enjoyed it here. I sat in the booth outside which has a street view that is great for people watching. I got the classic Naruto Ramen and gyoza, and both were delicious. The attendant Yenny R was super friendly and attentive, and the service was at a good pace. I would definitely recommend this to any ramen lover!

Comment: Pretty good, basic shoyu ramen with scallions, bean sprouts, the little naruto swirl, pork chashu and the soft boiled egg. Regular size was definitely enough for me for dinner. Not the best ramen Ive ever had but not bad by any means. Id come back and have some appetizers next time, too. 8/10 for me.

Comment: We walked over lunch after spending the day in Central Park.The inside had a bit of a wait, but we’re quickly seated outside.I ordered the Cilantro Bomb ramen with karrage chicken.The chicken was delicious with a light and crispy crunch. Very juicy in the inside.The cilantro bomb ramen was…interesting. It was my first time experiencing such a unique combination of flavors in my ramen broth. Like, cilantro, and a spicy broth that had a kick to it.I liked it - but it was a bit strong for my taste. However, the size of the bowl was perfect with filling portion of ramen.The only thing I would caution against is the EXTREMELY hot lamp that is hanging in the outside eating area.It was unbelievably hot and was so uncomfortable that we moved to a different table.Otherwise, it was a solid, filling meal that wasn’t crazy expensive. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a ramen spot to hit the spot, within walking distance of Central Park.

Comment: Super tasty ramen and perfect on a cold day!Naruto Ramen is a tiny bar-style ramen spot where you get to watch your food cooked in front of you. Everything from the curry, to the karaage and of course the ramen was so fresh, tasty, and just comforting to the soul on a snowy day.The service was fast, nice, and they played anime openings and jpop which was awesome.Be sure that youre comfortable with eating in a kind of cramped space and with no access to a public restroom.

Comment: My all time fav is spicy miso ramen, the dumplings and the drink yum. Didnt like the texture japanese buns but it had flavor. I finally eat inside the restaurant. My friend got the mega ramen bowl but to be honest I thought it was going to be a bigger bowl but it was the same size as mine it felt like a rip off and instead of adding the extra noodles in the bowl they put it as a side dish and it got hard. Then my friend also ordered japanese buns the chicken and it wasn’t fully cooked. My friend had a bad experience here for being his first time. I like the atmosphere it felt like i was in a different country.

Comment: We came here from Central Park for lunch! The wait for inside was 10 minutes, the outside area was no wait! The outside is heated, but if the door is left open at all it becomes very chilly very quickly. The wait for food was about 5 minutes, so very quick service. We did do the lunch special which is a limited menu that I imagine they are prepped to make quickly. The food was delicious and hot! Service was very nice and attentive in refilling water.

Comment: Nice quaint little ramen spot. Super tasty developed brotha, pork a little on the dry side and egg a little over cooked, but tasty none the less. Ordered the Naruto Ramen, Tom Yum Gyoza and Chicken curry ramen with snowman sake to drink. Disclaimer, snowman sake is served cold, didn’t know that haha. Either way, their developed broth and flavors are so tasty and overcome the dry pork. Definitely recommend if I’m this side of Manhattan.

Comment: Had high hopes for this place. We ordered pork gyoza and fried chicken as appetizers which are both very good. My husband got the tan tan ramen which is spicy and flavorful. I ordered the spicy mega naruto ramen and the broth for some reason is just lukewarm. The flavor of my broth is also not as rich and flavorful as I expect it to be but could just be a bad day

Comment: Delicious and filling ramen and appetizers at pretty good prices ($15 ish for most bowls and under 10 for appetizers). They also have plenty of Japanese drinks including alcoholic ones like sake sapparo and non-alcoholic ones like kimino, ramune and green tea. Will definitely be back.The kitchen is right in front of bar seating, so you can actually see them make your ramen which was really nice. We got the Miso and Naruto Ramen and both were really good, filled with flavor and the right textures. The pork chasu and noodles were perfect.

Comment: Went for lunch and it was delicious! We sat in their outdoor seating area which was probably just as great as indoors. It definitely did not feel like the regular outdoor seating you find in NYC. We ordered the takoyaki and pork buns to start which were pretty good. The takoyaki was hot and YUMMY! Pork buns were good too. For the main dish we ordered teriyaki chicken (chicken tasted good) and chicken cutlet curry. The chicken cutlet curry was just what I needed for today. Would go back :))

Comment: I have passed by this Ramen shop on the express bus since high school and Ive always wanted to try out the ramen here! Ive heard really great things about it, and when I saw the waiting list outside my expectations, rose with excitement. We were called in about 20 minutes on a Sunday night so we didnt wait too long. They have indoor and outdoor seating so that certainly helped we were seated inside and when we walked in anime music flooded the shop, which I loved because Im a dork and know almost all of it.Ambience and atmosphere got a check in my book. Inside is pretty tight since its a small hole in the wall but the sign outside definitely makes it stand out. The staff was one of the kinder stuff Ive come across at restaurants in general, even when the girl next to me spilled all her water on the floor. They were so genuinely sweet!As for the ramen, I ordered the original Naruto ramen and was pleasantly happy with the pork. Sometimes ramen shops will only give you super inedible fatty pieces of pork but I had 2 decent pieces. As for the broth, it was just okay. The flavors didnt exactly punch but it was pretty good.Flavor wise is this spot my favorite? No. But Id it a great spot in the Upper East Side to grab some ramen for the future winter months ahead oh most definitely. Dont come here expecting a lot as it is a sit at the bar, eat and go kind of spot. But waiting for your food while listening to anime music is a whole freaking vibe.On Site-Bathroom in the veryyyy back in the employee area (you may have to ask to go)-Hooks for your JacketsTips-Wheelchair accessible outside (might be too cramped inside)

Comment: Cash only! I live in the Upper East Side and have been here several times a month. Its still one my favorite go to spots especially when Im in the mood for their amazing curry ramen. Its delicious and surprisingly cheap!It can be quite crowded during the evening so come here before 6pm or after 9pm with a party of three or fewer. For larger groups, I recommend going to Churutto Ramen a couple of blocks away between 86th and 87th street.The atmosphere is very cozy and reminiscent of authentic Japanese ramen bars. I love how they play J-Pop music so if thats your boom then definitely check this place out.

Comment: Naruto Ramen was rated as “as crowded as it gets”. In New York language, this means best value great food. It did not disappoint. We really enjoyed popular menu items and customers sitting to our left and right made similar comments about how delicious their food was. It is definitely on my list of places to go again. 5-stars.

The combination of the scallion with the chili oil and chashu, FULL FLAVOR! The broth was delicious and worked great with the sprouts, bamboo shoots, fish cake, and egg. The nori was the icing on the ramen! Thank you to the Naruto UES team. I will be back again, and I’ll bring my hungry-jitsu!!!!!

Comment: First things first, I think it’s only fair that if you have outdoor seating in the winter, you should at least provide some kind of heat. We were freezing, as the wait to sit inside was too long. That being said, the curry chicken ramen is so delicious, add a little hot chili oil and it’s even better. Had absolutely no complaints on the food or the service. The breaded chicken has a perfect crisp. Def recommended.

Comment: If you are looking for a place with good ramen noodles to hit the spot... ask no more. Food taste great the experience is nice.Fried rice it is rather bland for my taste but overall it taste good.Pros: Ramen taste yummy and price is simply perfect since this is located in Manhattan (3rd Avenue between 89th and 90th Street).Cons: The place is rather small to eat inside. Best to eat outside.

Comment: 10/13/21 - Good service and reasonable prices. We ordered the MEGA Naruto Ramen, the Fried Chicken Platter, and the Vegetable Ramen (Miso) with added shrimp. Outdoor seating is available. If you like ramen, you should give Naruto Ramen a try.

Comment: The ramen is tasty and well-priced, and the noodles have great bite. I enjoy the spicy Naruto ramen and the Tantan ramen. The newer outdoor seating is good albeit a bit enclosed.

Comment: Wow, I had a good time eating here.I waited for a good japanese ramen for some time now and I finally found one (and with a very reasonable price!)We took the Takoyaki, Naruto Ramen and the Curry Ramen.The Takoyaki were firm on the outside and scorching hot on the inside. Just as I wanted!The Naruto ramen had a taste just like ones I had in Japan. The Curry Ramen had a thick texture with a nice mild curry spiciness. Delicious.Im so glad I found this place, I plan to come here again before we leave NYC.

Comment: Potentially the best Ramen in NYC[+] amazing Ramen[+] super friendly staff[+] affordable prices[+/-] there is often a line and some waiting timeThe Ramen tasted amazing! Just go and try it out! Make sure to ask for extra hot sauce if you are getting take out. Prices are also good and super affordable.There is a big chance, that there is a line. If you are not waiting to sit down, but only take out, just walk by the line and order inside right away. Waiting time for take out after ordering is uaually under 10mins.The staff is friendly, efficient, fast and super helpful. I was waiting for my food to be prepared in the car on the opposite side of the street, and one of the employees came over and brought it out to us :)Really, just go there :)

Comment: This is the ramen place that I went to when I was a broke college kid.Naruto ramen will satisfy your ramen needs without breaking the bank. They offer a variety of flavorful and delicious ramen. This day, I ordered the Tsukemen or dipping ramen and it was so heavenly.Please keep continuing to support this place. This ramen shop holds a special cubicle in my heart that can never be replaced.

Comment: Water wasnt appealing but everything else was AMAZING. We had the chicken terriyaki and edmame as appetizers and then a Miso Ramen w cheese and a Mega Naruto Ramen. The ramen is HUGE so keep that in mind, we didnt finish the whole thing, the waiter was awesome and all at a VERY affordable price. Will return!

Comment: I ate there yesterday. THE FOOD WAS AMAZING!!!! Only one problem….after I paid for my food the lady said “no tip?” (Tip is never mandatory and workers shouldn’t ask customers for a tip) so I gave her $1 and she “NO! THATS NOT ENOUGH!!” And when I walked away she made a scene, I don’t feel like I should be harassed for a tip and I found that very uncomfortable and unprofessional! Besides that the food was amazing with no problems and good price. ✅💯🍜🔥

Comment: Perfect ! I went there yesterday evening with three friends, we just had to wait a bit to have a table due to covid 19 restriction, but it was a perfect diner. We ordered veggie gyozas and takoyakis, both served hot and delicious ! The chicken curry ramen was delicious and tasty, the chicken greatly fried and crunchy. Not that expensive and worth the cost !Highly recommended

Comment: The food is really good! And it was really nice to be able to see how they put bowls together.But be prepared to wait. The place is small and can seat no more then 15-20 people at a time. They have a paper sign in sheet, but that’s not expressed immediately so it can be a bit confusing at times. Because the place is so small, you’re waiting outside (which is fine in the summer. But when it’s freezing, pretty difficult).

Comment: Best ramen on the UES. The venue itself is tiny so we took it to-go. Didn’t change how good it was (expect maybe the Karaage which was a bit soggy because it was steaming in the container). The tako yaki were awesome and the so was the fried rice! Sad that we learned about this place so late it’s amazing!

If youre gonna get the Mega, dont get an appetizer. Also, the appetizers are delicious. The tan tan men is good if you like spicy.

Bowl is big enough, ramen itself is very tasty, would like to come back any time soon and probably every day in cold winter!Next time I will try famous $9 ramens but $13 is worth it, too.

Comment: Appetizers was bomb, seating is comfortably cramped. You can watch the guys cooking up some food on hot woks and making your ramen. The noodles nice with some.bite, they give you more.broth than noodle so definitely know you gonna have to ask for kaedama (more noodles) meat is tasty. Will go again for real for real.

Comment: 5/5 Quality of Food5/5 Quantity of Food5/5 Service5/5 Value (Price to Food + Service)I got the Naruto ramen and it was very tasty. Noodles were perfectly cooked and a little but thicker. It was a standard shoyu (so sauce based) broth but still delicious. You get 3 pieces of pork, a perfectly cooked egg, bean sprouts, a small sheet of not and bamboo shoots. I would say the stand out component were the noodles.Price was very reasonable at $9 with the option of adding more toppings. Interior is very cozy with limited seating, maybe 15 seats total. Service is fast and friendly.

Comment: Have you eaten ramen? If you havent, you should try Naruto Ramen. It has really yummy food, like the Tan Tan Ramen, Miso Ramen and the Naruto Ramen. The Naruto Ramen had really long noodles, really delicious broth, pork, radish, seaweed and an egg. There arent regular tables in there, but they have stools and a bar table that lets you see them cooking. So, if you are hungry, thats where you need to go.By Joshua, age 7

Comment: For the first time ever having traditional Ramen, the food was amazing. Couldnt believe that I made it this far in my life not having it. Naruto Ramen is a nice quaint place. Up close watching your food made in front of you was nice, although the back wall seemed really tight to the seats where it is hard for people walking past behind you. Overall, great food.

If you are hungry, I will recommend this mega ramen, but if you want to try the other appetizers they have, opt for the normal size ramen.

Comment: I love the ramen here! I tried the tan tan ramen which is spicy. For me it was more a mild spice than real spicy so I think its okay even for people who cant handle much spicyness. All the food looks delicious and the staff is very friendly. The only reason I cant give it 5 stars is because its a bit small. But definitely recommend it! Also if its your first time, remember to write your name on the clipboard inside!

Comment: Great ramen at a good price. They have curries as well, but I think ramen is their best option. Their ramen is on the sweet side, so if youre looking for the umami flavour, Id suggest you ask for no corn. Its cash only. They have bar seating right by the chefs. The seating is limited, but the wait for seats is not long. You have to wait outside, so bring a coat if its chilly.
