Setagaya - Brooklyn

Japan Village, located in a great spot, is known for its delicious ramen. While it may be a bit on the pricey side, it consistently attracts a large crowd of customers lining up daily for their flavorful ramen bowls. Rest assured, this spot never fails to impress.

This restaurant serves a delicious bowl of ramen, with the standout being the flavorful and tender meat. The bamboo shoots are also very tasty. While the broth may not be the best in NYC, it is overshadowed by the quality of the meat. Some reviews mention that the ramen egg is often overdone, but the marinade flavor is still present. It's a great option if you're in the area. The only downside is the use of plastic spoons, which detracts from the experience and is not environmentally friendly. Additionally, customers are required to wash their own bowls.

4.5/5 ?? Setagaya (inside Japan Village) Black Garlic Tonkatsu DX $16. Broth 4/5. The broth is creamy and fatty the way I like it but the reason I?m giving it a 4 instead of a 5 is simply because knowing I had better and more concentrated broth within the NYC areas. Chashu 5/5. This is the perfect example of how I love my chashu? Charred and fatty. No sweet glaze needed. I always order extra slices on top of the ramen. Noodles 4/5. Firm straight noodles. I

The waitress illegally tip 20% on my credit card!! I went to Setagaya St. Marks (on February 16th 4pm) not this location. But I can?t review Setagaya East Village on google so I post the review here. Sorry? The service was terrible and the ramen tasted like water. I didn?t tip (you can see the picture of my receipt), but the waitress illegally charged 20% tip on my bank later. So I'm gonna report to NYPD and dispute the illegally charged 20% tip.

I have been to several Japanese ramen restaurants, so my standards are quite high when it comes to quality. Unfortunately, this particular place fell short of my expectations. The flavor was decent, but for the price I paid, I was disappointed that my tonkatsu ramen did not come with an egg, which is essential, or my preferred add-on of corn. I later discovered that in order to get these additional ingredients, I would need to order the DX Tonkatsu, which costs an extra 2-3 dollars. The seating arrangement was also confusing, as it required some navigation.
