If you’re looking for authentic, flavorful ramen that hits every craving, Naruto Ramen is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is warm and welcoming, with a cozy atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.<br><br>The ramen itself is next-level. The broth is rich, perfectly seasoned, and clearly slow-cooked to perfection. Every bowl is packed with fresh ingredients from tender, melt-in-your-mouth chashu pork to perfectly cooked noodles with just the right bite. You can really taste the quality and care in every spoonful.<br><br>What makes the experience even better is the service. The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the menu. They’re happy to recommend dishes and make sure everything is exactly how you like it.<br><br>Whether you’re a ramen lover or just trying it for the first time, Naruto Ramen delivers on every level flavor, service, and atmosphere. Definitely one of those places you’ll keep coming back to. It’s just amazing.

We had a great lunch here in April. There was no wait for lunch. The service to be honest was really excellent. Food met my niece’s craving for ramen. Loved the open kitchen. This is not fancy, but felt very authentic, warm and left feeling very satisfied.

Highly recommend the bao bun apps. Ramen was solid too. Enjoyed the anime music playing in the background as well as the overall vibe of the spot. The wait for a seat can be rough so probably plan to arrive earlier

To be honest, this should be one of the top five ramen restaurants in my mind.

I’d say I had a pretty good experience overall. I’d rate the food a 3/5. I ordered the tom yum ramen, which comes with shrimp. Honestly, the shrimp didn’t have much flavor and there were only about three pieces. That said, the broth was bomb. Mine was spicy, so if you’re not into heat, this might not be the dish for you—but it definitely packed a lot of flavor.<br><br>I also tried my boyfriend’s ramen, the chicken cutlet curry ramen (the third dish). The chicken was delicious—crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I wasn’t a fan of the broth though; it just wasn’t for me. If you like curry, this is definitely the meal for you. Just a heads-up, the broth is spicy as well.<br><br>The dish in the middle was Sura Tan, which was my boyfriend’s daughter’s choice. She really enjoyed it and gave it a 5/5. She was extremely happy with her decision.<br><br>The service was a 5/5. The waiter was really nice, and they cook the food right in front of you, which was super cool to watch. The atmosphere is also a 5/5—you truly get the full Naruto experience while dining there.<br><br>Overall, I’d give the experience a 3/5, mainly because we were a party of three and waited over an hour to be seated since it was packed on a Saturday night. Even when people got up to leave, seating still took a while to move. I’d definitely recommend coming on a weekday, or going solo or with just one other person 😭😅. Also, my food just wasn’t a 100% hit for me.

Naruto Ramen is in a great location, though it has very limited seating. It honestly feels just like being in Japan! There’s a waiting list outside where you have to write your name down on a paper, we waited about 10-15 minutes, which wasn't bad at all.<br><br>The experience wasn't disappointing because the staff was accommodating from the start. It’s very entertaining because they cook the food right in front of you! It’s definitely a busy spot, but I can see why people love it. We ordered the karaage and the Naruto ramen, and both were honestly worth it.

Yeni was attentive and gracious, setting a welcoming tone right from the start. The miso vegetable ramen was comforting and full of flavor, while the fried chicken wings had a unique twist that made them stand out. The shrimp ramen was outstanding, spicy and tangy at the same time, with the veggie gyoza and edamame rounding out the meal perfectly. If you enjoy cozy hole in the wall spots with freshly prepared ramen and pho, Naruto in New York City is well worth a visit.

The flavor isn’t the best, but it’s not the worst either. They cook in front of you, and it’s always packed. The ramen bowl is a good portion. It’s not the best ramen, but it’s okay. The noodles aren’t the best or the most authentic. The gyoza are frozen, not freshly made. Everything seems pre-packaged and just heated before serving. Nothing special. Friendly service. The people cooking are very kind and open for conversation!<br><br>The octopus balls are not it, the piece is so small.

It's a warm and small environment. The food is flavorful and the waiters are very nice. I do not recommend bringing a lot of people as it is a bit of a cramped space (3 is fine). But this is how some ramen spots in Japan are and appreciate it being a small place. I had the Naruto Ramen, hence the name of the restaurant. The paintings on the wall are anime themed and is a fun place to go for a reasonable price.

Great place and when around I buy ramens to go because the kids love them, however they added chili oil to the soup after asking them to put it on the side. Wasted $40

Ramen texture was perfect. I had the original with added spice and it was good to just give a kick. Service was smooth and good. Booth seatings were bit cramped and there are some seats near the fryer. But overall a cheerful place to have a quick meal.

Date of visit: 10/11/25<br><br>Been going here for years, but hadn't had the time to make a review. This is a Japanese style Ramen restaurant with some dumplings, fried rice selection. Space is very limited and tight. Mostly counter seating, and a 2 seater by the window. Do not come in large groups. Prefer 2 people, 3 people max. Lines and wait can get a bit long especially during winter. Overall, good quality ramen, for the price it's not bad. 100% recommend. Hard to find parking at times, especially during weekdays. Weekends are better.
