What Tom S likes about Meijin Ramen:
Great bar at this restaurant a fun locals place with a nice atmosphere. Craft cocktails, sake and Japanese whiskies are their specialty but also have interesting beers. Always nice music playing with nice clientele and great bartenders. Give it a try. View all feedback. What Letitia McClure doesn't like about Meijin Ramen:
I ordered the signature Miso Meijin Ramen, and it was kinda underwhelming. The ramen was neither authentic nor an innovative twist that impressed. In fact, I don't think this is the place to come to for authentic ramen, as there was only one choice of pork both ramen, as opposed to the several beef broth options (which is not a traditional soup base).

It took too long (35 minutes! The food is mediocre at best. It was quite pricey. There are much better options nearby.

Great ramen. Great sushi. Great donburi. Great apps. I frequently visit, which is a rarity for me living in nyc.

Homey authentic vibe. I loved stealing a minute away from the busy city. Staff was very friendly and the bathroom really wowed us.
