Had the spicy deluxe ramen and takoyaki appetizer both were very good, service was excellent and was able to catch end of happy hour for a sake carafe, place had a chill vibe, would definitely go again.
Hide-Chan is my new gold standard for Ramen in Manhattan. Perfectly cooked wavy noodles. Ive had many spicy misos in my day and this tastes like the most potent and fresh miso flavor Ive had in a ramen, as well as some of the most complex pork broth Ive tasted. Im quite impressed. Highly recommend!
They have a wide variety of ramen options. I tried something with seafood broth for a change. Not my favorite but I am sure the pork broth ones would win me over.
I’ve been there with my friend. We ordered two deluxe ramen. Definitely not the best ramen in NYC.
My friend came across this great Groupon voucher for Hide-Chan Ramen and tonight we redeemed it!This place has a nice outdoor seating area with plenty of room. Staff is very friendly and we enjoyed the food. Especially the Edamame with garlic butter as an appetizer was amazing. All entrees were also delicious.Awesome deal, worth checking it out!
The waiter is polite and helps us to add water whenever we finishes, the ramen is ok, the curry rice could have more curry though.
The food was excellent and the serve was fantastic. I had the teriyaki chicken rice bowl, eel sushi, saki taster, and kimchi.
Got a dinner for 2 voucher from the Fever app. It was a great deal! I took my boyfriend there and he said the food was pretty good and would go back again. He’s a picky eater so this is a big deal haha.The customer service was great! I have no complaints about it. The little houses outside are nice too. Oh! If you pay in cash, it’s cheaper because you don’t have to pay the 3.5% service fee for using card.
So guys, Its a shame to use not fresh vegetables. Moreover, it is unbelievable that you tell them about it, and they just change the vegetables in your soup! ... yea I have not seen this before!
Amazing Ramen, affordable prices for NYC. Great home made food!
My Mother and I had the beef ramen and it was wonderful, very nutritious and a low price considering the location and variety of food provided.I recommend this eatery if you want a softer environment to eat in compared to the chaotic environment in many restaraunts in the area.Staff was friendly, attentive, and patient when I got confused regarding the menu.
Ive never tried Hide-Chan before so when I saw a Pulsd deal for $29 for two ramens and a carafe of sake, we decided to check it out. It was also valid for takeout, so that was great. For the deal, you could pick a ramen or donburi up to $17. If the price is greater, you just pay the difference. You can pick between wavy or straight noodles. I picked straight and liked them better than the wavy ones my husband got.I ordered the Shrimp TanTanMen. The description mentioned a giant head on shrimp but its really just a regular head on shrimp. It definitely was not worth the few extra bucks I paid. The noodles also didnt do great in a 40-minute transport. They were all clumped together and it was hard to loosen up even after we poured the reheated broth over it. Hubby got the Spicy Miso and I like that broth better than the one I had. We also ordered the Ebi Fry, which was bland and tasted like were from the freezer aisle of a Costco.Im sure the ramen tastes much better dining in, so I would suggest that if you do want to check this place out. Im just glad I didnt pay full price.
Ordered a Vegetable Ramen--if you like spice though, make sure to ask for it, I wish I did. But other than that, it was super flavorful, loved the fresh veggies and avocados (I opted out of the tomatoes and tofu). Also, the staff was super sweet!!
Great pork buns and ramen! Even for delivery- delish! Highly recommend.
This is now one of my favorite Ramen places! Had the Wagyu Beef ramen special! So tender, flavorful, & delicious! Also had the Agedashi Tofu appetizer which was also really good. Highly recommend!
Our second time here during our visits to NYC. We ordered Miso ramen and spicy garlic ramen. The mido was good the spicy garlic was ok, it was greasy. The waiter was super nice, the outdoor seating is brilliant you have your own “cabin”. I recommend it overall and definitely coming back to try other dishes.
Been here twice and the food and service is great. And the ramen portions are large so its definitely worth the money. Will be coming back
The pork deluxe ramen is the go to. $19 for a ramen bowl. It has good amount of veggies too. They have gluten free/keto shirataki friendly noodles as well.
I really love its lunch menu, the ramen was very tasty, the miso soup base was delicious, the texture of the noodles was just perfect, you could choose different kinds of noodles here like flat noodles or wavy?! The lunch deal also includes a plate of sushi or Katsu curry rice along with the ramen, I felt very satisfied and full after eating and the price is very reasonable. The waiter is very polite and friendly. I would love to come again and it is one of the best Japanese restaurants that I had ever been to.
Tan Tan Men was perfectly balanced. The edemami with butter garlic tastes exactly as amazing as you would expect and the spicy mizo is very spicy. Dont be like one of my party members and doubt that!
I tried the vegetarian ramen and was pleasantly surprised! The noodles are really good here, and the broth was savory. I wasn’t sure about the avocado when I received my bowl, but it actually tasted really good with the broth. Service was excellent; the staff was very attentive and polite.
The service is excellent, and there are numerous ramen variations to select from.
The staff here was very friendly and also followed proper Covid-19 protocol. Our temperature was checked and we were given the option of sitting in or outside. I got the fried chicken as an appetizer and the spicy deluxe ramen for my main. No complaints at all definitely recommend!
I think this is my favourite restaurant ever! I go there almost 2 times every week. My favourite meal to order is the classic ramen and the beef don. The people there is so nice and kind!!! If you ever get the chance GO THEREEE!!!
Deliciously good Ramen. Nice spot recently celebrating their 1year anniversary.Great, friendly service. Laid back casual sort of place. They have a nice special of appetizers and sake.The food is good and healthy. They also serve beer.This place has handicapped accessible entrance and seating.
Great Japanese restaurant. The plates are delicious specially the Ramen with shrimp and pouched egg. They have a nice variety of beers and Saké. And a Saké tasting combo, really cool. The restaurant was clean, with a very cool ethnic decoration. The service was excellent. I recommend this spot.
Delicious Ramen! The appetizers were very fresh and super tasty. Servers were very kind and friendly.
Love their ramem, the broth is perfect and I couldnt have enough. The service staff is polite and on top of things, they will automatically fill your glass of water when its close to empty without you even asking. The place is quiet enough to have a decent conversation with someone across the table without raising your voice the slightest.
With their Deluxe Ramen: wonderful firm wavy ramen; no taste to broth - Good tasting were their Spicy Chicken and Takoyaki - Light, crisp, and delicious was their Harumaki - No Lines, Friendly Service, Fun Decor, Cozy Setting - A Pleasant Try!
This is now our favorite ramen place in New York. Must get the spicy garlic ramen. The soup has a flavor you wont experience elsewhere. We also enjoyed the gyoza. Highly recommend.
Stellar service and very delicious Japanese inspired dishes! After living in Japan for a year, having their karaage brought me back to Japan for the 12 minutes it took me to eat my food. I never review that often but this place deserves it!
Soup of the noodle is great. Beef don is so so. We was toldthe different noodle just have different shape, but they do taste different. Egg is over boiled and pork belly not soft and taste. It didnt cook enough time.
This review is based on ramen. Little place very cozy. Love the open street sitting. Ramen is ok - not the best. Friendly services, I asked to make less salty and they did. Has avocado as topping option.
1st impression, Great food, love the Vegetables Rames, the best Matcha Pudding.Become our fav place to visit.
It was my first time here and I enjoyed everything, the food the service and the atmosphere, will definitely come back next time I visit NY.
Im rating it 1 star higher since I got door-dash and Im sure it would have been better as dine-in. The spicy garlic ramen was too Smokey and strong. The chicken chunks were great very juicy.
Genuinely the best ramen Ive ever had. The broth was flavourful and rich, the pork was juicy and the noodles were perfect.
$10 rice and pork bowl, great lunch portion and pricing, flavorful and tasty :) I like it
Loved the spicy ramen, portions were good, lots of toppings (unlike others which make you pay for toppings) and soup was flavourful.
A really awesome ramen place that loves its garlic. I had a spicy garlic ramen with garlic edamame that was absolutely delicious. There are definitely dishes without garlic, but I would highly recommend what I got. Its great. Service was speedy and attentive.
If youre willing to wait, then just go to totto. They have better tonkatsu ramen. My girlfriend got the spicy garlic ramen which we both thought was too salty, and Im a big fan of salty food. The takoyaki was mostly breading and very little octopus.
The lunch set is $14 and includes a ramen and a bowl of rice from a few choices (eg pork fried rice, pork don, salmon don...). The ramen noodle has a very good texture and the broth is traditional!
Ordered take out and the ramen tasted like 99c grocery store ramen, I ate a couple bites and threw it out. They also forgot to include any utensils and napkins and Im in a hotel so I had to call room service to bring me forks. Absoutely do not order this for take out. Pork bao bun was pretty good hence the 2 stars
My husband is a super fan of ramen and we were so excited to have Hide Chan Ramen which was a famous brand of HAKATA RAMEN in Japan.Hide Chan Ramen serves Tonkatsu (豚骨, pork bone) ramen, which is a thick broth made from boiling pork bones, fat, and collagen over high heat for hours. The broth was delicious and creamy with a hearty pork flavor.However, the price was kind of high with its portion and the ingredients weren’t a lot, so we did not feel satisfied at all after 2 bowls of Raman.
Recently opened branch of Michelin recommended Hide Chan ramen in Hells Kitchen. Good to be in a place that ask you to specify firmness of ramen noodles - you know they are a pro! Tonkatau soup base is super concentrate - a bit salty for my taste. Ingredients are very fresh (mushroom corn etc). The $3 fried rice side dish is not to be missed: perfectly made and balance.
Pork slices were excellent for spicy garlic ramen I ordered. Service was a little slow for settling the bill.
The service was excellent. The staff is super attentive. The ramen was good. Not super good....but good. I live in NJ so I expected more than I shouldve possibly. The pricing was very reasonable. I went at lunch time. The lunch special is Ramen with a roll (I chose a salmon roll) for 16 dollars. I ordered miso ramen, and paid extra for extra egg and pork. The egg in my soup was cold, but nothing a quick tuck underneath the broth couldnt fix. The broth was bland but the meat was super flavorful. Solid three stars. Not a restaurant I would seek out...but definitely one I would return to if I happened to be in the area.
A good place to ramen. The service was great.
Although recently open, this ramen shop is in my opinion just as good as the neighboring popular and line happy ippudo and Toto ramen. Frankly ramen is ramen and this place does it just as good in my opinion. They also have happy hour. Appetizers (eg, gyoza) are pretty good and there is a large selection of sake. Mega ramen is recommended and has everything!
If you go during lunch, you can get ramen with their amazing fried rice for only a dollar (small) or 3 dollars (humongous) extra!Service was swift and effective, the ramen? I would say this is among the better ends of ramens in town.
We had the recommended and classic (spicy). Since we were there at 5:30 we got to eat pretty takoyaki and cocktails. The cocktails were cheap, so can’t really complain. I would suggest getting the spicy sauce on the side, even with my pretty good tolerance to spicy I was crying and sniffling.
This is the real deal. I can say definitively that the classic ramen at Hide-chan is as good as Ive ever had. Of all the ramen Ive had, this ranks right up there with the best.The broth is the star of the show; soup has no business being this tasty. The other ingredients round out a delicious - perfectly cooked noodles, crunchy mushrooms, incredibly flavorful pork, and a soft boiled egg with a creamy yolk, not to mention plenty of green onion for brightness.Also, a bowl of this ramen and a side for $16 is a really good lunch special. You might not even need dinner with how filling it is, but you may need a nap. The service was also excellent, and the karaage was awesome.Come here. You wont regret it.
The deluxe spicy ramen was incredible. The broth was excellent, spice on point and the noodles still had bite to them. The eggs we done to perfection.
Decent happy hour, and great appetizers. Polite staff. Always place for a good time!
I tried the Miso Ramen, it was very delicious. I loved the service, friendly and super fast. They have QR menus and dishes. Definitely coming back
Wait staff was kind and timely. They put up with me, a very picky eater with dietary restrictions, and didn’t make a fuss about it at all. I ordered a classic ramen and had them just about take everything out and substitute different things (wavy ramen noodles, shrimp, garlic chips). I usually feel judged and criticized when I ask for alterations at non-American cuisine restaurants, but they didn’t make me feel embarrassed at all. First time having real ramen, so I have nothing to compare it to, but it was really good; and like I said, I’m a huge picky eater. I am, however a big calamari fan and their deep fried squid legs were some of the best I’ve had
Im vegan and while I was dissapointed the ramen here is not vegan AND I would not be able to participate in the eating challenge... I did find some good options. The spicy tofu, and eggplant miso were delicious.
Very solid and tasty ramen! Ill definitely be back! The spicy miso is especially delicious and flavorful. They have lunch specials too, if thats your jam.
Honestly a solid bowl of ramen, I saw people complain that the spicy garlic ramen can be oily but honestly just get the spicy garlic sauce on the side and add as much as you please, I didnt see the any real downfall for the ramen, the kaarage (Japanese fried chicken) I had was delicious huge pieces of thighs which I appreciate my only criticism is that maybe if the pieces were more uninformed it would have had a better coating of batter on the chicken, taste was on point, I can definitely order basket after basket of kaarage and beer, also such kind staff
Got deluxe house ramen. It was good, nothing surprising but definitely scratch the itch if you have a craving for ramen. Price is a bit high but so is everything lately.
One of the best ramen restaurants I’ve been near Hell’s Kitchen... warm and cosy place and the service is so kind and sweet... every single one of them... the food was incredible there... we had as Appetizers the seaweed, fried rice which was incredible and the takoyaki bites... I was so satisfied with everything... also for the main I ordered a deluxe ramen and a shrimp ramen... deluxe ramen was so tasty and everything was fresh and warm... our order came out very fast and I was satisfied 100%... it worths to go there totally... you won’t regret it...
Great place to go if you like your broth thick. Same level of service and same taste as the east side location. I went with the usual miso ramen. The takoyaki is also an excellent appetizer. Highly recommend it. One difference from the other location is that the menu doesn’t give you an option for how firm you like your noodles. However, I specified my preference to the waitress and it was perfect.
Really good ramen! The matcha pudding is bomb. The salmon ikura hand roll was amazing
Fair prices, good specials, much larger space than their other location. If you go during ramen happy hour, you can save a few dollars. I recommend the black garlic ramen and the pork bun appetizer - both amazing.
I am only giving it 2 stars because the place/service is nice and the appetizers are good, but the “ramen” (at least the classic one) is super bland and is much more similar to salty water than tonkotsu, a big let down. Maybe the other broths are better.
This Hide-chan location is a bar area and a dining area. Its quite enough to keep a friendly conversation going at mealtime. The hot items on the happy hour menu and their drinks are good.
Good ramen.Good ramen is ok but the race is on in nyc to have GREAT ramen. I started off with spicey fried squid. It should just be called fried squid because it was not 1 bit spicey. The ramen was fine. Not amazing. I had deluxe pork ramen. What i hate about asian soups are that the ingredients are cooked separately. So therefore the half boiled eggs where cold. The pork was cold. Overall an ok experience. Cute setup though. I felt like i was in Japan.
The place is good looking,the atmosphere is really good aswell. It feels like your in Japan. The service is really good and the food even more. The music is really calm and has all type of music. This would be a grandfather approved restaurant.
Nice veggie ramen with corn, spinach and avacados but the broth was weak and not very flavorful. They have a lot of appetizers that looked interesting!
Why wait at Ippudo? This place has bomb ramen!! The perfect soft egg, delicious broths, pork belly, the works. Noodles were cooked perfect, not too soft. Pitcher of Sapporo!
Really good food! Tonkotsu broth is tasty, noodles are chewy and firm, chashu is melt in your mouth. Takes me back to Japan. I will be back toNYC just to have another bowl of their ramen.
Very nice reasonably priced Raman specialties. We each had the pork, one regular and one spicy. Nice meal and friendly service.
Tasty ramen noodles. Waitress was friendly and the atmosphere was nice.Noodles were very good as they had the authentic Japanese noodles as apposed to the generic, instant type
Incredible food! Shrimp shumai was delicious as was the Deluxe Ramen.
Service was a little spotty with speed but ultimately very good with kind servers. The spicy ramen was delicious and perfect for the chilly weather. Super tender pork with a flavorful broth. A solid spot for ramen in midtown.
Portion was really big, but unfortunately broth was very very flat, without any depth. It ruined the whole meal. There are better ramen places for comparable price. Although service was good.
Great service, amazing taste, powerful drinks, and the outdoor seating is amazing. You get a personal room in a comfortable, spacious room with a heater. I love it!
Best place ever food 5 stars service excellent, Ake,Tu,Alex are amazing server make me feel like I am at home😊 and the price is very reasonable. Definitely recommend 👌
Excellent food and they take reservations. Good prices. Great for a not-too-heavy meal before catching a show!
Service is nice but extremely slow, we waited forever for the waitress to take the order and then forever to the food, which had some mistakes in it.The ramen was definitely the worst I had eaten in usa so far (and we tried many). The soup tasted like tasteless chicken broth from powder more then a ramen. Really bad.
Delicious ramen, great lychee cocktails and cute decor. Loved it.
Some of the best Asian cuisine I’ve tried, great ramen and gyoza as well as top tier service.
Hidden gem ramen restaurant in Hell’s Kitchen. Prefer it to Totto and Ippudo and generally can get in without a wait, unlike those two.
I think this place is a real gem. It always has great fresh food. I try to hit this place up whenever I am in midtown.
I liked the miso Ramen. The soda was nice too. I would go there again if I was in the area.
BUSSINNNN. Spicy delux ramen was indeed spicy 🥲 going again tomorrow
The food is delicious, 5 Stars, however they always mess up with orderings.It’s the 2nd time they forget about my order in 6 time I have been here.This time I see everyone arrived after me already eating and after 30 minutes I am still waiting for my food.I decided to cancel the order and go away!So upset 🤬🤬🤬They offered me $5 voucher but charged the drink, not coming back here ever againThe food is too good here.Gave them a second chance and they didn’t disappoint.The waitress remembered me and gave me a big discount.No question about the food, 5 stars!
Love this place! Ive already been back 3 times!!! Awesome food & drink Happy Hour from 4:00 - 5:30, great appetizers and fantastic Ramen. GO!
Great ramen place to dine in. The seats are both inside and outside, and the staff are super friendly. Ramen is a bit pricier if you go for the deluxe ramen for 20$, but it is worth the price. Ramen was one of the best I have tasted so far in NYC.
Ordered online tonight and NEVER RECEIVED MY FOOD! The delivery person left it outside of my building hanging on a fence. He never buzzed my apt or even try to contact me. I didnt get notified until 20 minutes later. DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM AGAIN!
Authentically Japanese. Excellent Ramen and desserts. Dont expect fancy when you dont need it.
First time having Ramen at a restaurant. I had gotten a spicy one and it wasnt spicy. Thai iced tea is ok. We also had the spring rolls and these dumpling like appetizers which was the best part of the meal.The lady who helped set the table with us seemed to have an attitude and the girl who was taking our order was a little more friendly. I would say this might be worth going to for lunch but not dinner. I wouldnt go out of my way though to come here.
Had a ramen on one of the coldest days this year. They have heaters in their outdoor seating areas which was nice. Friendly staff and decent ramen. Filing and inexpensive. Would come back.
Service is good but ramen is just OK. I won’t recommend and will have better options in this area.
Service is very tentative and servers were Japanese! The ramen is good, although the broth can be better and I was sad that my egg was not soft.
Yumminess at home. This was part of my Turkey day fest and it was def worth it the trip. This was the day to be thankful not for what has gone in the past but to have the choice to be able to enjoy whatever yummy I want however I want it. Trust it was enjoyed
Great ramen in a space thats bigger than it looks. I prefer the east side location, but thats mostly based on the layout and their 7 day a week lunch specials.
Delicious! We got the spicy deluxe ramen and it was amazing. Great service and prices. Nice setting
Delicious spicy garlic ramen! It wasnt too salty or too garlicky. It was perfectly balanced and perfect for a cold rainy day!
Nicely decorated with a wonderful selection of ramen, donburi, and other great options. The staff was friendly and very attentive to all needs while dining.
You gotta try this Ramen. yummy. u cant spk much about big apple Ramen without. well its great to have the Ramen culture here too. ↓Shrimp Ramen
Wonderful ramen, LOVELY staff and great service. They let our party and my dog warm up in the outdoor dining area, with a heater! Spicy miso and black garlic ramen both delicious. Also very clean!!
Delicious ramen and sushi. My husband got the fried squid legs and he enjoyed them. We ordered takeout online and our food was ready before the estimated time.
Lovely private outdoor seating. It is enclosed and has a heater. Also there are windows for ventilation Warm enough for me to be able to eat in my sweater while next to it. Food was amazing. I got two meals. One to eat and one to take home. Needless to say my carryout didnt make it far
The ramen was amazing. The broth was very flavorful with being overly salty. The noodles were cooked perfectly, there was so many different textures to add to the experience. The noodles were perfectly aldente, the crunch from the corn and the bamboo shoots, the creaminess of the fish eggs, the pork was cooked just right so it maintained its texture despite soaking in the broth, the eggs were great. It was just a great eating experience, a little difficult with the chopsticks but its all part of the experience.
Hide-Chan, which I utilized a Groupon for, is a quaint little sit down experience. The food was delicious and the ramen was top knotch especially for the price.I suggest the Nagori sake - it has kind of a lotion-y after taste but do not let that dissuade you as it packs quite a punch for a little cup.Servers were very polite, beautiful spirits and quick. I would definitely come here again.
Came by for a meal during pandemic times. We outdoor dined in one of their houses. As the night got colder, they brought in heaters. There was separators between each room. There was a window that was boarded up, but the door remained open for some air flow.The staff were super nice. The service was very good. It was a great experience. It was a great set up.The food/drinks:Deluxe Spicy Bowl - delicious and so good. great execution, deliciously rich broth and great noodle cookGyoza - delicious and a good portion size as wellSake flight - a great way to try sake and see which kinds suit your taste budsTLDR: was happy to be able to try the west side location and cant wait to go there again. the ramen is one of my favorites in the city.
Great food and ambience! Had shrimp shumai, spicy deluxe ramen, miso ramen and Sapporo on tap, everything was absolutely delicious!
This spot here is very good. The vegetable ramen was very flavorful and filling. The drinks are also delicious and potent. I had the apple sake cocktail while my Wife enjoyed the Raspberry sake cocktail. We would come back here again. Thanks for everything!
Great food and service. My neighborhood go-to Japanese restaurant
Amazing appetizers and ramenI had the miso ramen as well as beef liver , and the next day I came back and had the spicy black garlic ramen With takoyakiIncredible service , waitresses pay very close attention , and the food is just incredible . May have to try the 53rd st location next .
Ordered the bonito dashi ramen and red dragon ramen with extra noodles super good!
Excellent Ramen I loved the shrimp/Seafood was so good and fresh and the broth was so flavorful and tasty . Great spot to get a healthy meal and feel very happy after .
Nice Cosy place serving some soul food!!! Loved the vibe!
Had an amazing dinner here. Wonderful ambiance and fantastic service. Would revisit all the time if I were a local.
No wait outside but you do wait to be served. Decent ramen but not the best in the neighborhood.
Amazing staff. The appetizers were amazing however the ramen was just “OK”. I would not recommend “Spicy Garlic ramen”. The boba was just amazing specially for $4.
I celebrated my graduation yesterday in this gorgeous place. I am glad to say that we enjoyed a awesome evening and the restaurant was clearly one of the reasons for the outstanding gathering. The waiters contributed in a sweet style, the cooking was great and my friends were so overjoyed. We shall definitely visit again for more events. Thank you very much.
Awesome ramen, great service, cozy surroundings.
Great service! The waiters were very nice and attentive. The service was quick and the food was really good.
Very, very overrated. The deep flavor of the ramen was distracted by the overuse of sodium. Meager, unfilling portion sizes. Differing prices from online. Far better ramen is available in the city.
Ive been to Tokyo, Ive been to London, Ive been all around the US, and Ive had ramen in each of these places. For the price that Hide-chan offers, this is a pretty good ramen spot not to pass up. Their broth was flavorful and the noodles soft. The egg i received seemed a bit hard boiled, but otherwise, it was delicious. I would go there again.
There was no wait when we came here for a weekday dinner. The service was really great. The fried chicken appetizer was freshly fried, at once crisp and chewy. The ramen broth was very flavorful, and the noodles were springy. However, the pork was only decent (I could have sworn it was frozen when I first scraped my chopsticks across it, but I didn’t want to bite into it then). All in all, not bad for a casual ramen experience.
Good ramen, happy hour 5 30 to 7
Nice spot
My first and best experience with ramen I’ve ever had! The customer service is amazing and I felt comfortable the whole time with my girlfriend. The appetizers were delicious and ask for the Sauce that comes with the chicken I promise you’ll love it! The ramen jumbo shrimp ramen was amazing I promise you that!!!I’ll be BACK!!!!
My preferred ramen spot in New York. A much larger space than their other locations with a bar area. The tables are a bit close together but I’ve never had to wait for a table here. The service is quick and they’re also super nice. My usual order is a deluxe with wavy and firm noodles. The appetizers are all great, I’d highly suggest the karage (fried chicken). It usually comes out super hot and crispy. Always a great experience when I’m here!
Service was atrocious. They definitely had no idea how to run their front of house. I asked a lovely couple to move over at the bar so my friend and I could sit down. After sitting for two minutes a waiter came over and asked us to move so two people on the list for a table could have the seats I just freed up. In no restaurant on I’ve ever been in would something like this happen. The ramen was decent but in New York there are too many options to waste your time and money on a place that isn’t going to give you a pleasant dining experience. I won’t be back.
A place worth five stars as the menu is simple and very clear. My spicy broth was light and full of flavor. Just the right amount of noodles and pork in the dish to make it something that can be fixed Ed without feeling like I am about to explode. Good selection of sake and beer or just enjoy hot tea.
The wait staff was nice the atmosphere was relaxed and the food was delicious and filling.
So much potential, but lacks the deep rich flavors experienced in real Japanese Ramen shops. Ramen was also cool, which on a cold afternoon is very disapointing. Service was great. Ambience was nice. Prices are high, but expected. Overall value is low. Over priced salty ramen. Broth needs a lot of work.
TLDR - In my opinion, the BEST ramen restaurant Ive tried in Hells Kitchen, a mecca for ramen.I have been on a quest to try as many ramen shops in NYC as I can, and so far on this journey, Hide-Chan Ramen is my number one. I stopped here for the lunch special and had the Bonito Dashi Ramen with a side of Chicken Katsu Curry. From portion size, to broth richness and flavor, to quality of the chashu, everything about this bowl of ramen was delicious!! The cherry on top was how good the chicken katsu curry over rice was on the side. For $18 (chicken katsu was $2 extra) + tax & tip, I was absolutely stuffed, something I dont often say coming out of ramen restaurants. The waitstaff was friendly, and the service was fast.On top of great food, Hide-Chan doesnt get the crowdedness as an Ippudo, Totto, or Ichiran. When I came during peak lunch hour, the restaurant only had some single diners like myself seated at the counter, and a few Japanese families in the tables. The atmosphere is perfect for small talk on a date, with some friends, or if you just want to enjoy a meal on your own. Definitely way more chill compared to Ippudo, and in my opinion, wayyyy better in flavor, price, and menu options.
I cant emphasize how refreshing it is to go to a ramen place in New York and not wait for forty minutes on a line or be rushed out the door. The food here is great to begin with (try the shrimp broth!) but its made so much better by the fact that four people can walk in, get seated, have a couple of beers, and make an evening of it. Great service, great food, great spot all around.
Ramen is supposedly very hot food, if Im right. Here, its not. The end. One more thing ...the servers keeps kicking and pushing your chair while eating. I counted until 10 times, and then gave up. Not exactly a pleasant dining experience. You will get westernized (?) cooled broth ramen in spoiled New York style. Food itself was good enough. Some improvements will do better.
Great Japanese restaurant. The plates are delicious specially the Ramen with shrimp and pouched egg. They have a nice variety of beers and Saké. And a Saké tasting combo, really cool. The restaurant was clean, with a very cool ethnic decoration. The service was excellent. I recommend this spot.
Went today with my two friends. ordered a bunch of food and the total price was way less than I expected it to be. Portions were good price was good food was good and the customer service provided by Ake And Ted was excellent!!!
Very delicious food, beautiful atmosphere and fast service with a smile but very limited menu. No chicken, beef or duck ramen bowls. Majority pork and a shrimp bowl with no other seafood though you will absolutely LOVE the appetizers.
I love it! Authentic Japanese cuisine.
I ordered the Pork Bun and the Classic Ramen.Pork Bun was prepared very well, but the flavor of the sauce wasnt to my liking.For the Classic Ramen, they let you pick the shape (curly or straight) and firmness (from soft to very firm) of the noodles. I picked curly/med and they were great. The pork was prepared well, the flavor of the ramen was good, but it was very salty (hence the missing 5th star). I believe this was an intentional choice, so it might be to others taste.Food was hot and fresh, service was quick and very friendly, and the price was decent. The restaurant was charming and clean.
Amazing food and drinks, great prices too. very cozy atmosphere and cool staff
Never been to this location... always go to the original on the East side. THIS IS A MISTAKE THAT I WONT MAKE AGAIN.I always get the Spicy black ramen. Its one if my favorite ramen bowls around the city. Unfortunately this location on the west side does not have the same grest flavor profile and taste as its east side brother. I was shocked and dissapointed as the spicy black flavoring tasted burnt and just aweful. Unfortunately i was hungry and quickly ate the noodles, egg, and pork. Leaving the tainted broth behind.I still love this ramen spot and reccomend it to many people. Unfortunately i will not go to the west side location again based upon my last visit. They are obviously cooking things the WRONG WAY.
The garlic ramen has a bad after taste, like they burned the garlic.They didnt accept to change it to another dish,so we were hungry and forced to pay for something we didnt eat.Cocktails arent good, not recommend.
One of the best places Ive ever eaten. Fresh delicious food, friendly staff, music background is great. Definitely will be back!.
I enjoyed the meal; my dining companion did not. Chalk it up to different food preferences, he thought the egg overpowered the ramen. Good ramen at high prices. Very rich tasting and large portions. Service was good.
The best, authentic ramen in the city, hands down. No frills, just awesome food.
This place was so nice! My boyfriend and I went here during our day trip to New York and the atmosphere was very comfortable. The happy hour specials were great, we got the fried chicken and split a miso ramen and it cost $28! Which is pretty good for a nice restaurant in the city imo. Would definitely come here again and I highly recommend it!
Good food. Good service. I wish there was a pork based broth but other then that its a solid option in the area.
Great place, very good noodles. Love the open street-level front and authentic feel. Nice old hand-assembled sound system. One of my new favorite spots. So why only 3 stars? Its the DJ mix that comes out of that sound system! Its a basic dance track with a nonstop, unvarying, headache-inducing beat that goes on and on and on and on and on. Even worse, it pauses and some nice soul or jazz begins and you think, ah, finally some nice music. But it is only an interlude in the mix. Again, in comes the beat beat beat beat beat.... Dance music is for dancing. It does not add excitement to your meal and conversation. I really fail to understand the many restaurant owners who drive away customers with pounding sound tracks about as pleasant as a jackhammer. So bring earplugs and try to enjoy this otherwise great nook.
Another amazing ramen spot! This place has amazing lunch time specials! You get for 14$-15$ dollars a full bowl of ramen with a large side dish! Really hard to beat this deal! The noodles are delicious as well has the sides. The broth is flavorful and you will leave stuffed to the gills! I will be returning to this delicious ramen spot!
A good spot to eat at night, welcoming staff and great Asian bar atmosphere!
The space is larger than you expect. It extends around the corner to decent amount of private tables,while the front is comprised of a large food bar area and communal tables. When I first walked in, I thought the restaurant ended at the bar. The ramen was delicious. I had a pork based broth with pork slices while my partner had the vegetarian ramen. Not pork based and well done with fresh avocado, cauliflower, corn and much more. It was fresh and delicious. They have a 10 dollar pitcher of Sapporo for Happy Hr.
Went with my Fiance and some friends, the food was delicious!!! I wanted something spicy so I got the spicy garlic ramen and I loved it had me sweating and I loved it , Definitely going back again and its near my job too so it just a win win
Flavor reminds me of something homemade. Vegan options available
I had the spicy garlic ramen, which had a good level of heat and was very flavorful. The server recommended the straight thin noodles for this ramen. The broth was on the saltier side, but I expect that of ramen in general. I came around 8pm on a Saturday, and I was surprised by how quickly I was served.
This was my first time visiting this location! Loved the vibe here, there is a bar to hang out at or tables in the back for dine in. I first discovered this place when totto was so full and I need to satisfy my ramen craving. They have a great selection and an extensive menu compared to other ramen joints! Also came on a Friday night with zero issues getting seated!
Spicy miso ramen was HEAVENLY, every bite just got more savory. I was in a state of bliss I rarely get while eating food (usually its from really good ramen).Also the portion was perfect, its a hearty meal on its own!
The ramen broth doesnt seem to be as flavourful as it was when I visited pre-pandemic. But the toppings are still fresh and the draft Sapporo was tasty.
Impresive delicious Ramen, the spicy one recovered me from a cold night after walking. The service was awesome, very nice people and great beer and sake. The rolls could be better though. I would come back for sure and share this place with my people.
Ramen was pretty good. The place had a very nice atmosphere and the staff was nice. Prices are reasonable; we had the classic ramen with an egg (we had to order the egg separately, unfortunately) and we liked it a lot.
The taste was ok. The waitress let me sit at the worst table when it was completely empty. They refused my request for a ramen and curry rice because the combination was not on their menu, even though I said I would pay extra. They were not flexible. It’s just ok, but no good points.
Not a competitive offering. Hide-chan is completely overshadowed by the many other excellent ramen restaurants in the area (e.g., Ichiran, Totto, Ippudo, Mentoku), and it doesnt distinguish itself in any way. The restaurant itself is larger so it might be preferable if youre dining with a group of people, but the food, service, and pricing are all blandly fine. Theres nothing bad about this place, but nothing great, either.Come here if youve got a real craving for ramen and cant stomach the waits (or walks) for better options. Otherwise, well... there definitely *are* better options.
This was the worst ramen Ive ever had. The pork buns were bad too. Save your self the pain of dishing out money for garbage and walk 2 blocks south to ippudo. The wait might be longer but the food doesnt suck.I gave 2 stars instead of 1 just because the staff here was actually very nice
I went there for Takoyaki and it was gross. My friend had some veggie curry dish that was also not good. & Their ramen price was a lot for the small options they offered. I would not recommend this place.
Best ramen place in NYC. Happy hour drink is only $3
Great service, delicious ramen, and good drinks.
I work near by and was in the mood for some ramen. There are actually a few more popular ramen shops around but it was peak lunch time (12:15pm), there were all at least an hour wait at least. I got the combo with classic pork based soup ramen and a side order of beef rice. The ramen and rice was both good, didnt disappoint.
Absolutely delicious and large portions. Loved the ramen, pork bun Bao really good too.
Very good food. Friendly service. The chicken ramen is so creamy & noodles cooked the way I like them al dente. Spicy salmon sushi is also a plus. The food & drink happy hour is very worthwhile.
The ramen is decent. I loved the fried squid legs most! The mochi ice cream is chewy and nice, if you order the other desserts they become tasteless compared to it
Great ramen...cosy spot close to broadway area. Would recommend!
Quick serve place. No BS. The seats and tables are very close to each other. The food is ok. Nothing stands out. Their business hours are longer than other similar ramen places in the city. It is a convenient place to have a quick bite when shopping in the neighborhood.
Stopped in for a purple drinks and had a great time with great service
Very authentic and delicious Ramen place near Hampton Inn Times Square North (51st St).Amazing taste and look Appetizers from Egg plants to Dumplings to Chicken wings to Shrimp Xiu mai...Very reasonable Prices for New York city.A Must if you are in the area!
They do not disappoint along with the ramen the don bowls be slapping. Beer on tap is so damn good.
Nice restaurant and excellent ramen. Very friendly service
Hands down the best ramen i had so far in New York city and I tried many ramen places so far, i ordered the vegetable ramen and added a hard boiled egg with wavy noodle, the veggie broth was very flavorful, the noodles were smooth and had a very good taste, the soup included fresh vegetables that added crunch and color making it a filling meal, I couldn’t get over how good the flavors complemented each other and made such an incredible meal, our server was Noriko and provided us with very friendly and great service, if you are in the Manhattan area you must give this place a try, they provide private booths to provide more safety and tables are at least 6 feat apart making it a safe and comfortable dinning experience.
I had the pork broth ramen and it was better than the Hide-Chan on East 52nd St. However, still not the best ramen I’ve ever had and their gyoza was burnt. The staff, decor and ambiance were nice and they were very patient with us. Would only go back for the spicy pork ramen.
Im a very picky person when it comes to ramen. Not because Im an expert in ramen but I just have my personal preference. I prefer thick broth this place offers it. My favorite is the classic + spicy black garlic + egg. Perfect for cold weather!
Good food and prompt service. However I was very disappointed that there was a ten minute wait for my friend’s ramen after they had brought mine. By the time my friend’s ramen arrived and we were ready to eat, my ramen had developed a film on the top. I hope you will find a way to make sure entrees go out at the same time.
The food tastes great and the service is really good as well!!
Amazing food. Go for happy hour and get $2.5 beers and cheap starters
We waited for 15 minutes to be seated and when we sat and started looking at the menu, the waitress moved us to the bar that was free since the beginning... We ordered 2 plates of sushi, we got the sushis we didn’t choose. They changed it and still got us the wrong plate. But they were good
I enjoyed Classic ramen for lunch. So I went back again to try Miso for 2nd time. It was terrible. The soup was luck warm, the noodles was just half cooked. There was no taste of miso at all. It was such a disappointing with $15 ramen. I don’t think I will ever go back again.
Friendly staffs and one of the best authentic Japanese ramen in NYC !!But sometimes takes tooooo long to get your beer at evening tho..
Ordered spicy garlic ramen. Really good.
Best ramen 🍜 in NY.Friendly service.Recommend to stop by and eat some good Ramen.
Great ramen but the prices, like Ippudo, are really steep. To get a bowl with something in it other than noodles and broth you will wind up laying at least of 20 dollars if you factor in tax alone, never mind tip.
My favorite dish teriyaki avacado over rice! So yummy!
Nice place, me and my friend were looking for place to eat ramen and happen to pass by Hidechan. it was one of the best ramen I had, the place is not too crowded at times and there is enough space to move around it’s not congested. also the staff was very kind and served well will give 5 stars for this one.

2022-02-05Good variety of ramen, and pleasant vibe.I came here on a Friday evening, and although it was busy, I didnt have any trouble getting seated.The servers were very friendly, and helped provide some recommendations on the menu.Although the soup broth was on the saltier side, the beef was very well cooked, and the noodles were just at my preferred consistency. For the price, there wasnt much more I wouldve asked for.Overall I was happy with my experience, and would be happy to come back.

2022-04-12Surprisingly great (and well priced) mealso close to the chaos of Times Square. Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, while the meat eaters will enjoy the Deluxe Ramen. Drink wise, check out the ‘Ms Hello Kitty’, refreshing and tasty

2022-07-28I love cold ramen year round and was happy to find more than one option here. I particularly liked that it had vegetables and almost seemed like a hybrid salad. The staff could not have been nicer, and there was plenty of comfortable seating. The inside is dark, more like a nightclub or evening vibe, but there is also a nice outdoor dining setup, at least right now.

2021-11-17Service was great and the food are tasty. Though the fried chicken was too greasy and the sashimi piece is somewhat mediocre.There is this giant ramen bowl challenge and I would def be interested to try out one day!

2022-08-01The spicy garlic ramen are very garlicky but delicious. Chashu and the other toppings were great. I only wish the egg yolk was a bit more runny.I was very positively surprised by the miso eggplant.The staff was also very nice and service was impeccable.

2022-01-17Really nice staff and quick service got this place a couple stars. Thats where the good news stops. The ramen (spicy garlic) was overly oily. The noodles were not high quality, and the flavor of the broth was good - not great. Ive had this type of ramen before, and todays did not meet my expectations.

2021-08-23This is definitely a ramen spot. I don’t recommend ordering anything else. We got the salmon roll and the poke bowl. The fish is not the freshest. The salmon roll was quite honestly pretty bad. I’ve had Chinese buffet sushi that tasted better than the sushi rolls they serve here.I had pretty high expectations with the “Michelin star” advertising. The ramen here was just ok, nothing to write home about and probably wouldn’t come back here, especially if I had to pay full price…

2022-01-14Tried hide chan for ramen and we had a good meal. We got the shrimp ramen and the popular tonkotsu broth pork ramen. Pork buns and sake tasting was an excellent add on.

2022-06-01Tasty, well priced ramen in manhattan. Great service too, first time here but TK and Alex were patient enough with me and recommended a few things. Will definitely come again :)

2021-12-18For starters Im comparing it to Japanese noodles, so please take it with a pinch of salt. I think the pork is outstanding, it is grilled, it doesnt happen in Japan but they nailed it. What is not too good however, is the broth, I wish it tastes more like pork. I had the deluxe. Overall, I think its quite good.
