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.

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.

Delicious and priced right. For a bit over $10 you can have a taste of heaven! I've been to more Ramen places that I can count and there's always something off.... read more Delicious and priced right. For a bit over $10 you can have a taste of heaven! I've been to more Ramen places that I can count and there's always something off. Whether it's the broth, what is added in, poorly cooked noodles, poor quality noodles, poorquality meat, there's always something. Setagaya made it a point to find heir balance. They offer the typical Ramen with meatand the DX bowl which also has the preserved egg. Of course I went right to the DX bowl! The meat was extremely tender,properly charred and gently seasoned, noodles were cooked perfectly and I can tell from watching them cook they didn't use atimer, they actually paid very close attention to how they cook the Ramen. They use the straight Ramen, not the wavy which isfine but I do prefer the wavy. The scallions were fresh and the bamboo shoots, although they probably came from a can, did nottaste like it. Service here was friendly and helpful which is always a big plus. For a fast-food style place, 4 star is myhighest rating and they earned it for sure. Keep in mind there literally is a handful of items on their menu, mainly Ramen soif you're looking for something else and instead eat here, you must remember you chose to eat Ramen.

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 brothwithin the NYC areas. Chashu 5/5. This is the perfect example of how I love my chashu? Charred and fatty. No sweet glazeneeded. I always order extra slices on top of the ramen. Noodles 4/5. Firm straight noodles. I definitely appreciate more nowthan the past. If I still had to be honest, I still prefer thick and wavy noodles.
