  • I eat at and review Okiboru House of Tsukemen on the Lower East Side of New York City. The restaurant is extremely popular and its former Los Angeles location even earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand. Okiboru serves both ramen and tsukemen ramen.

    Who needs a slice of cake or a warm cookie when you can simply have another bowl of ramen for desert? Excellent choice.

      Indeed! I love a good dessert, but if I had to choose, I would mostly go with savory over sweet.

    There's a place at 9 St. Mark's called Oh Taisho. It's a Yakitori place. It's excellent. I hope you get to try it some time.

    That first bowl looked incredible, I had 4 bowls of Ramen over the last 2 days, I love it. I always have to get the extra pork belly though, because two pieces per bowl don't seem to cut it for me. Ramen portions tend to be small for the price but so worth it. I usually look for the restaurants that use a 24 hour bone broth.

    • @Jamesnu
      @Jamesnu  Год назад +1

      Yeah, that first bowl was really special! I know what you mean about the portion sizes, usually I always get an appetizer, side, or extra noodles because one bowl never cuts it for me. Indeed, the pork is one of the best parts! I think that my favorite types of ramen are the bowls with lots of stuff in it, but of course, it all starts with the broth and noodles.

    Good review, thanks! Could you do one for Kuu Ramen in the financial district? Love that place, especially the fried squid appetizer.

    • @Jamesnu

    It's all about the broth! There's a really good pho joint right across the street from me.... Come check it out!

    • @Jamesnu
      @Jamesnu  Год назад +1

      Absolutely! It seems like so many places try to do too much with their ramen, but instead should focus first on the broth and noodles. Yeah, I'm always on the hunt for good pho as well.

    You been to any classic ramen shops in NYC? If so, what are your faves? I can def recommend my faves if you’re interested
    I have some unique places up my sleeve I’d like to tell you about 👌🏻

    • @Jamesnu
      @Jamesnu  Год назад

      I'm always open to recommendations! I really enjoyed Ivan Ramen, but there are so many places I've yet to try. Tonchin is a place that I plan on checking out soon.

    • @joeb-vu4ds
      @joeb-vu4ds Год назад +1

      Ivan is one of my faves. I love their appetizers too. Some other good spots are Ramen Ishida (truffle-infused shoyu broth) and Totto Ramen (chicken broth-focused ramen). I loved Tonchin! The smoked dashi ramen there is very unique and so flavorful. I’ve tried Ichiran and Ippudo also. I’d pass on Ichiran if I were you, but Ippudo is pretty good. The only good thing about Ichiran in my opinion is the cool private ramen booths you get to sit at.

    • @Jamesnu
      @Jamesnu  Год назад +1

      @@joeb-vu4ds Awesome! Thanks for the tips! I've heard of Totto Ramen and I definitely have to go there. I've probably walked past Ramen Ishida, but I'm unfamiliar with it, but I did just look them up and it sounds like a place I also need to check out. Yeah, I've heard people say similar things about Ichiran. I'll probably go sometime just for the experience of the booths, but I'm not expecting any mind-blowing ramen.
