Light broth. Two thick pieces of pork belly. Not use to arugula in ramen but didn't ruin the experience. Soft boiled egg not overcooked. Curly noodles. A little too al dente for my liking but suffices. If you want it spicy they provide a tasty chili paste oil. Solid soup.

Our server, Sherry was very attentive! All of her suggestions were very delicious. Don’t afraid to ask your server for recommendations because they know it the best. The food came out pretty fast and steaming hot. The appetizers were the best part of this visit. The crispy rice tuna was my favorite, highly recommended. I had Tonkutsu ramen which is so rich and well-balanced flavor. The broth was fragrant and went so well with the toppings...I love it a lot. I’ll definitely be back when I visit New York next time.

The best of the best ramen in town
We got our seat right away when we got in. Our server “Sherry” was very attentive and super fast. She recommended the Duck chashu ramen, it was very yummy. I recommend this place more than any other ramen shop in the city.

I had a great time with my friends here. We came at lunch time, got greeted very nicely and seated right the way. The choice of appetizers were not too many but variety which is good and I can try many different things with my friends. We had Grilled edamame (I guessed), Crispy Rice, Tuna TaTare, fried pumpkins, Hotate, for appetizers. All were really good. Then I had Tonkutsu (pork broth) for my ramen and I love it. I added homemade chili sauces and make it even more flavorful. I would love to ask if they would let me take some chili sauce home...so good. For a wrap, everything is absolutely fantastic both food and the service, very cheerful and friendly.
I will come back here again.

My friend and I had the lychee mocktails, the pork bun, pork dumplings and chicken soy ramen and everything was great and perfect. The service is amazing and it was not a long wait for the food. The waitresses are so great.

You can smell the delicious beef broth before you see the sign for Mei jin ramen. The spicy beef ramen is incredibly savory and really worth a try. The atmosphere is friendly and the wait staff is very sweet and attentive. Worth a visit for locals and visitors alike!

Beef ramen places in the states are pretty uncommon where we're from (DC), and the Soy Beef ramen here is a welcome presence in that niche. The beef base is pleasant and not too salty, the noodles are just right, and the beef completes the dish with plentiful strips to add some protein to the delicious soft boiled egg half. Would recommend!

I visited mei jin ramen in February and thoroughly enjoyed my meal. I had a bowl of their spicy beef ramen and was impressed by the depth of flavor in the broth and the texture of their noodles. Their soft boiled egg is the perfect topping for any of their ramen options, hell its good on anything they make lol. I will definitely be visiting again soon

I came here for lunch with my family. We got to sit in the back. The asmostphere was so nice and warm. We all got different ramen. I got Beef Miso Ramen, my brother got Chili Chicken Ramen. My mom got Veggie Veggie Ramen. Mine was so delicious with miso base and I can taste the sense of beef but not too overwhleming. The chili chicken was perfect spicy and clear finish. The Veggie Veggie was full of delicious vegetales and the broth was so yummy. I love this place. Service was great. Friendly server.

We had a wonderful experience dining at Mei Jin Ramen. We ordered a variety of appetizers, ramen, and poke bowls and everything was delicious. The service was fast and friendly and the drinks were creative and refreshing. Would definitely recommend.

Let's keep it real, folks. This restaurant serves very good ramen, but it is not the sixth best restaurant in all of NYC, which was its TA rank when I wrote this. It's an above average ramen restaurant.
I had the tonkatsu and it was the most beautifully presented bowl of ramen I've ever had. It was very good, with an intense and flavorful broth, but not the most delicious bowl of ramen I ever ate. But very good and definitely worth going out of your way for.

Our favorite local spot. If you're looking for consistency and decent ramen this is one of the better places in the UES. Always SUPER friendly service this place is a must on a cold, wet, rainy day or if you're just in the mood for some comforting ramen :)!

We came as a group of 7 for a lunch and the apps are amazing! One of the best takoyaki with a good balance between crispiness and sauce of the takoyaki; the shishito peppers we're nicely done with a nice char; and the fried pumkin we're light and to die for. The ramen was decent. Definitely would come back just for the apps.

The ramen is good, portions are abundant and noodles came firm and not soft. There is also a good range of other "asian specialties" created for the taste of the New Yorkers, not bad anyway. Staff is average in a New York ranking: efficient, not really friendly but who is in New York?
Price is not cheap (how could it be?) but affordable and coherent with what you get.

First. I'm not a huge fan of Ramen but my daughter is. The food and drinks are seriously amazing. The lychee mojito and crepe cheesecake are unexpected delights. The pork in the ramen was extra tender. The tuna in the poke bowl extra fresh. Go here.
