Worthy Picks
7.6
A spacious Hudson Yards-area room that pairs ramen with sushi in a way that works best for groups who can’t agree on one lane. The ramen is solid when ordered straightforward—tonkotsu or shoyu-style comfort—while the bigger win is the ease: seating, pacing, and a menu that covers multiple cravings. Treat ramen as the anchor and add one shared starter to keep the table’s order coherent.
Must-Try Dishes:
Tonkotsu Ramen, Shoyu Ramen, Takoyaki
What Makes it Special: Ramen + sushi in a big, group-friendly Hudson Yards room.
