Had a craving at the office for spicy ramen, so I took a chance on a new place for delivery- WOW!! Such a delicious and unique bowl of ramen. I got their Miso Butter ramen, and added an egg. It was so delicious- rich, savory, stuffed full of meet and veggies. I got the spicy level 1 (I’m a wimp who is sensitive to spice) and it was perfect. The pork was thick cut, a very generous portion, and had a lovely char on it. The noodles were lovely and chewy, and the broth coated them almost like a…

I don’t know how to say it. This is hands down the BEST ramen EVER!! We got the Vegan Spicy Curry level 5 spicy. We added fried garlic, 2x Bamboo Shoots, and fried chicken curry .

Karakatta is such a wonderful spot. The atmosphere is amazing—warm, cozy, and instantly welcoming. The staff today Jay and Nima were incredibly friendly while remaining very professional, which makes the whole experience even better. I tried the Tonkotsu ramen today with extra pork belly, and it was absolutely delicious! rich, comforting, and perfectly balanced. A place that truly makes you want to come back again and again 🍜

This place is so good and such a staple in New York City that my wife and I have moved out of state and still make the trip just to come here. The service is great, the ramen is great, the rice bowls are the bomb, the drinks are fire and it’s a lovely place a night and so calm during the day.

Such a nice ramen spot! The staff were very friendly, and the food was delicious. The spicy ramen was full of flavor, and I especially enjoyed the chicken teriyaki—the teriyaki sauce was great. The prices were also very reasonable, especially by New York standards. Great food, good portions, and a welcoming atmosphere.
