Haven’t had a piece of actual grilled pork in my ramen and by gum it was good. Noodles were chewy in a good way and the veggies were nice. Can’t wait to go back!

Can’t believe I got to post this! It was such a cool thing! They do a meat and a veggie version. I opted with the veggie on a whim and wasn’t disappointed. That eggplant was melt in your mouth delish! Flavors were not crazy far off from a mapo tofu.

Another ramen session with my buddy before dungeons and dragons. It was a Thursday and we were planning on going at 4:30. Turns out 90% of the ramen places in Brooklyn close for an hour or two in the afternoon and open up between 5:30-6. Andante was the only place that was open. Oh and it was about 4 degrees out. We were the only ones in there and we were greeted warmly and also with patience. I was ready for to be fine with whatever came out but I really enjoyed it! The vegetables weren’t in a bland, soggy mass. The spice was a perfect level and the pork was juicy and thick. A great surprise.

This comes from the secret late night menu. Normally it’s an expensive omakase place but from 10pm till like 2am it serves a small menu with really great prices. I think this ramen was like $14, a good price for Manhattan. Nothing crazy about it but really tender pork, nice chewy noodles and overall just a really satisfying late night eat!

Really great broth and surprisingly tender meat!

Peppers and bamboo shoots had such amazing flavor! Great broth. Pork was meh.

The broth was a little thin but flavorful and the pork was very good

Really good! Loved the spiciness and big pieces of naruto.

All the ingredients were super fresh, the broth was a tad bland so added some chili oil.

Usually this is really good but it had a very grainy broth this time and a bit too salty.

Pretty bland. Made worse by the dude passed out at a table. People might think that Times Square is the worst but it’s actually the West 30’s
