Delicious and spicy ramen in a casual setting. I tried the Karage Chicken, solid appetizer with dark meat chicken, breading that was a bit too crunchy (vs crispy) with really yummy dipping sauces. The jerk bbq chicken (ordered spicy) was awesome. It was presented beautifully and really hit the spot on n a cold day with a warm, savory comfort. Spice was not overpowering, but did make me a sweat just a bit. Highly recommend.
The ramen was just SO good. Definitely recommend. I don't love that they add gratuity and the restaurant is not spotless. I have no problem leaving a larger tip but the tables must be clean. Don't like much ordering food with the app but at the end of the day what matters is the food. I will return and definitely recommend giving it a try.
New Rochelle has got a hit with this one where Japan meets the Caribbean with informal takes on classic ramen, Donburi, appetizers! They also serve cocktails that’ll get you right. Scan the convenient QR menu to order right from your phone, and they’ll bring it right over to your table. Here’s what went down… Gyoza Dumplings - they have options of pork, chicken, or veggies. I went with the chicken which was an excellent choice. That dumpling sauce is to die for. Oxtail Bao Buns - you know I can’t turn down oxtails. These are amazing. They came equipped with a plantain inside the bun as well for an added plus. Spicy Bone Yard Tip Ramen - you gots to get this the spicy way. This was so good. All the different ingredients and that those tender pork rib tips. I could eat this everyday. Oxtail Donburi - another decadent dish. All the topping for some bomb flavors and the oxtail was good too. Roc ‘N’ Ramen exceeded expectations. They’re cool and laid back, but the service is great and they are not playing in that kitchen. Every dish was excellent. Make sure you hit the bell when you’re finished!
The food? So good. I enjoyed everything I had, and the people I came with cleaned their plates; always a good sign. The food came out pretty quickly, which was a plus. Just a heads up: you order through a QR code, so if you’re not super comfortable with that, it might be a little tricky. My advice is to ask your questions before placing the order. I ran into a few hiccups that left me frustrated. Once it was all figured out, I left with a tasty meal to go. Overall, still worth the visit.
I never had Jamaican infused Japanese food, and I couldn't try this restaurant. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and was greeted. The place was small and cozy. I ordered with Nico, and he was great. I ordered: Merlot Rock n Punch Oxtail bao buns Curry shrimp ramen Curry chicken don bowl The food was delicious, especially the bao buns! I had a really good experience!
Food was great. Ramen is the star of this restaurant. Perfect especially on a cold day. And the oxtail bao buns were delicious. Loved the laid back vibes and the music. Make sure you ring that bell and let them know you are enjoying the ramen.
