    I find their Tsukemen way too thick. I feel like I'm dipping my noodles in sausage gravy.

  • replying to u/pookgai: I'm honestly still searching for a good Ramen shop. I try a new place everytime and still havent found a spot that I can solidly recommend. If youre looking for Tsukemen, i can 100% recommend Okiboru in LES. Tsukemen is my favorite style and Okiboru is the only spot that nails the taste and texture. Ive tried tsukemen from many shops in NYC and CA and Okiboru is the closest to my experiences in Japan.

    I find okiboru too salty and too fishy. Meh. The noodles & pork are good, the broth is mediocore. Not worth the hype nor the price.

  • The regular tsukemen with pork was fantastic — super rich and flavourful — but I was even more blown away by the vegan option, which was super umami thanks to the mushrooms in the broth.

  • This is a consistent favorite of mine especially now that the lines have died down. I always get the tsukemen with bamboo shoots and pork chashu but if you want an app the shrimp croquettes are delicious.

  • replying to u/PMPOSITIVITY: • Tonkotsu ramen at Tonchin has completely ruined all other ramen for me permanently, ever. I wish I was joking. • Truffle pasta at Fiaschetteria Pistoia. It is the cheapest real Italian truffle pasta in the city that I have found, and it is really, really good.

    niboshi tsukemen (get soup wari after you finish noodles!) and great tontori ramen as well
