Lively East Village ramen joint w/ rich, buttery miso broth. Perfect for casual group dinners, great sake options too.
Ciera Velarde reviews Ramen Misoya, an East Village spot perfect for casual group dinners, praising its miso-based ramen and lively atmosphere.
This East Village Japanese spot is a go-to for casual group dinners, offering a lively atmosphere with brick walls and a comfortable noise level perfect for conversation. The ramen is the star, with a rich and buttery kome miso broth that's a must-try. Don't forget to pair it with their shareable sake carafes, and perhaps some fried potato wedges while they're still crisp.
Specializing in Japanese ramen, this restaurant is frequently recommended for its miso ramen, especially the kome miso broth, which is described as rich and buttery. Fried potato wedges are also mentioned as a side. While one older menu suggested prices in the $14-$16.50 range, current pricing is unconfirmed.
"The miso ramen, particularly the kome miso broth, is highly recommended for its rich and buttery flavor. Fried potato wedges are also mentioned."
Customers consistently praise the ramen, particularly the miso varieties, and consider it a reasonably priced and often underrated gem. There's some confusion about its East Village location closing, but the West Village spot remains open and highly recommended.
