Minca

Came here for the tsukemen and it was delicious, the noodles were bouncy and the broth was thick!
The ramen was also delicious.

The best ramen noodles I’ve had in new york so far. It’s a cozy and laidback spot and well worth the price. Service was very welcoming and accommodating. Looking forward to coming back

I went here for lunch and the lady gave me a hard time she sed they only took cash than I get cash it’s you can’t eat inside of ramen shop at this point I felt targeted I sed huh she sed she will get I trouble for it so I door dash my food for pick up . Mind you there is seats and tables set up in the ramen shop if you didn’t like black people than jus say that … I was pissed and for what food was average ….. but she allowed me to come in and wait for my food …

The waiter was very friendly and very accommodating to one of my friends dietary restrictions. I took her recommendation of the regular spicy ramen and it did not disappoint. The noodles were cooked perfectly and the broth was very flavorful, rich and fatty but not too salty. The chashu was done very well and melted in my mouth effortlessly. The gyoza were below average and seemed like an afterthought so I would just go for the ramen/toppings. Will definitely come back to try their other ramen 🍜.

Good ramen at a cash-only establishment in East Village. Definitely satisfies the ramen craving but was a little disappointed after reading several reviews saying it’s the best ramen in Manhattan. Yummy but felt it needed more umami. The meat was tender. I loved the hole in the wall vibe it has

Fresh off 1 hour on the treadmill at 10.5 incline and 3.3 speed to sweat out the sins of the night prior, I found myself craving ramen. I wiped the sweat from my dark brown eyes that are slightly too big for my face and remembered how someone commented on a TikTok I made about Momofuku, saying Minca was the better ramen choice in EV.

I showered off, tucked my adidas sweats into my Nike socks, slipped on the all-black hokas and set off on the 0.4-mile journey.

I missed it on my initial walk by as it is extremely ducked-off. Lowkey as the kids would say. With about 14 seats, an open kitchen based on necessity and the workers all speaking Japanese amongst themselves, Minca is about as authentic as a ramen place can get.

It brought me straight back to wandering down a random street in Shibuya, seeing impeccably dressed Japanese residents enjoying their bowl of ramen at the tiny little ramen restaurant scrolling their WhatsApp.

I ordered the seaweed salad and the Spicy Miso Ramen. I always say that you can tell how good a Japanese restaurant is by how good their seaweed salad is. Okay I’ve never said that but this seaweed salad was really damn good.

The ramen broth was flavor blasted without being too salty or too heavy, and the noodles had the perfect texture that would leave a smile on even Ivan Orkin’s face. Honestly, it was a big mf bowl too and I think two normal humans could split this and still walk away content. I, however, happen to be a big dawg.

My #1 ranked ramen in EV as of now. Also, I love the name of this place. MincaMinca! Sounds like a cute pokemon hahahahaahaha.

I am happy this place has big portion bowl. My friend ordered a dry noodle. He was happy it came with kimchi. I ordered the TanMen bowl. The portio was substantial. I was full and satisfied. The broth was great, not too salty. The meat was tender, and I like the vegetables. I would definitely eat it again

i ordered their tonkotsu ramen (pork bone broth). overall the dish was pretty authentic and tasty to eat. the broth was rich and filling, although i typically prefer slightly more “pork flavor” in the broth. the noodles they used were thick and had a good texture (i prefer it slightly more al dente/harder than how they cook it). the chashu was very savory and tasty though slightly on the drier side. all in all i’d still highly recommend swinging by and giving them a try if you’re nearby!
