Quick answers

Common Kyuramen questions, answered

The four things people most commonly search about Kyuramen's menu — answered in one glance, with current prices.

Understanding Kyuramen's four broth styles

The broth is the most important variable in a ramen bowl. Kyuramen offers four distinct base broths — from the rich and opaque tonkotsu at one end to the light and citrus-bright yuzu shio at the other. Here's what each style tastes like and which bowls use it.

Rich & creamy · Most popular

Tonkotsu (Pork Bone Broth)

Pork bones simmered at a rolling boil for 8–12 hours until the broth turns milky white and takes on a deep, collagen-rich body. Flavor: savory, slightly fatty, complex with umami from the bone marrow. Bowls: Classic Tonkotsu ($17), Black Garlic Tonkotsu ($19), Spicy Tonkotsu ($18). The Black Garlic version adds mayu (charred garlic oil) for a smoky dimension; the Spicy version adds togarashi paste for heat.

Savory & umami · Versatile

Miso (Fermented Soybean Paste)

Red or white miso paste blended into a broth base. Miso ramen has a rich, savory-sweet depth with a slight earthiness from the fermentation. Kyuramen uses miso for two very different bowls: the Spicy Miso ($18) — tonkotsu-enriched with chili — and the Vegetarian Miso ($17) — a completely plant-based build on kombu and shiitake dashi. Bowls: Spicy Miso Ramen, Vegetarian Miso Ramen.

Light & clear · Classic

Shoyu (Soy Sauce Broth)

A clear or lightly clouded broth seasoned with soy sauce tare (shoyu tare), built on a chicken and dashi base. Lighter-bodied than tonkotsu, with a cleaner, more delicate savory note — the traditional Tokyo-style ramen broth. Topped with wavy noodles, fish cake, bamboo shoots and green onions. Bowl: Shoyu Ramen ($16). Best for guests who find tonkotsu too rich.

Delicate & citrus-forward · Refined

Shio (Salt Broth) with Yuzu

The most refined and subtle broth style: a clear broth seasoned only with salt (shio tare), enriched with yuzu juice and zest for a bright citrus note. The lightest and cleanest-tasting bowl on the menu — almost the opposite of tonkotsu in character. Bowl: Yuzu Shio Ramen ($17). Recommended for guests who want an elegant, complex bowl that doesn't rely on richness for satisfaction.

Customization guide

How to customize your Kyuramen bowl

Kyuramen lets you personalize your bowl in several ways — noodle firmness, broth richness, spice level, and a full toppings add-on menu. Here's how to get the most out of it.

Noodle FirmnessNo charge

Soft — fully cooked, yielding; recommended for beginners
Medium — the standard; some bite, classic texture
Firm (kata) — al dente with clear snap; preferred by ramen purists
Extra firm — minimal cook time; very chewy; not for every bowl style

Specify when ordering. Firm noodles are recommended for tonkotsu, which continues cooking in the hot broth.

Broth RichnessNo charge

Regular — standard broth-to-fat ratio
Extra rich (koi-me) — more tare and/or more fat; stronger flavor; not available on shio

Most relevant for tonkotsu bowls. Shoyu and shio are already lighter-bodied; extra rich can tip them out of balance.

Spice Level (spicy bowls only)No charge

Mild — heat is present but gentle
Medium (default) — noticeable heat; builds through the bowl
Spicy — significant heat; recommended for experienced spice eaters
Extra spicy — high heat; not for the faint of heart

Available for Spicy Miso, Spicy Tonkotsu, Tan Tan Ramen and Spicy Fried Rice.

Toppings Add-Ons$1 - $3

Extra chashu pork belly — $3 (most popular)
Soft-boiled marinated egg — $2
Extra noodles — $2
Corn, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, kikurage mushrooms, nori — $1-$1.50 each
Black garlic oil (mayu) — $1.50
Butter — $1

Add-ons are ordered at the table on a topping sheet at most locations.

Vegetarian & dietary guide

Vegetarian and dietary-friendly options at Kyuramen

Kyuramen's Vegetarian Miso Ramen ($17) is the primary vegetarian bowl — built on kombu and shiitake dashi with miso, topped with roasted corn, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, bok choy, pickled ginger, green onions and nori. No chashu, no animal-based broth. It's a fully satisfying bowl designed for vegetarians, not an afterthought.

For vegetarian appetizers, the Edamame ($6) and Agedashi Tofu ($8) are the clearest options. The Agedashi Tofu contains no meat but does use dashi-tsuyu (which may contain fish stock depending on the day's prep — confirm with staff). Most toppings add-ons are vegan-friendly: corn, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, kikurage mushrooms, nori, and black garlic oil are all plant-based.

Cross-contact with meat and seafood is possible in the kitchen. Guests with strict dietary needs should notify their server when ordering. Kyuramen does not operate a certified allergen-free kitchen.

Vegetarian bowl: Vegetarian Miso Ramen ($17)
Vegetarian appetizer: Edamame ($6)
Vegetarian appetizer: Agedashi Tofu ($8) — confirm dashi base
Vegan toppings: Corn, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, nori, kikurage, black garlic oil

About Kyuramen

NYC ramen — rich tonkotsu, real customization, Japanese craft.

Kyuramen was founded around 2015 as a ramen-focused restaurant in New York City, entering a market that had become one of the most competitive ramen scenes in the United States. The chain built its identity around tonkotsu ramen — the rich, creamy pork bone broth from Hakata, Japan — and expanded to multiple Manhattan and Brooklyn locations.

What distinguishes Kyuramen from the many ramen options in NYC is the combination of accessible pricing (starting at $16 for a full bowl), a genuine customization system (noodle firmness, broth richness, spice level), and a strong appetizer program that makes it work as a full restaurant experience rather than just a bowl-and-out operation. The Black Garlic Tonkotsu is the bowl most closely associated with the chain's identity.

Kyuramen has become a reliable destination for both ramen newcomers — the Classic Tonkotsu is a safe and satisfying entry point — and regulars who cycle through the broth styles and topping combinations.

Common questions

Kyuramen menu — frequently asked questions

Quick answers to the questions people most commonly ask about Kyuramen's ramen, broth, customization, vegetarian options, spice levels and NYC locations.

What broth does Kyuramen use?

Kyuramen's most popular broth is tonkotsu — a creamy, rich pork bone broth simmered for an extended period until it turns opaque and deeply savory. This style originates from Hakata (Fukuoka) in southern Japan. Kyuramen also serves a shoyu (soy sauce) broth — clearer and lighter, built on chicken and dashi; a miso broth used in the Spicy Miso and Vegetarian Miso bowls; and a shio (salt) broth used in the Yuzu Shio Ramen. The tonkotsu-based bowls (Classic, Black Garlic, Spicy Tonkotsu) are the chain's signature and most popular category.

Can I customize my ramen at Kyuramen?

Yes — Kyuramen offers strong customization at the table and at the counter. Standard options include noodle firmness (soft, medium, or firm/extra firm), broth richness (regular or extra rich), spice level (for any spicy bowl), and extra toppings from the add-on menu (extra chashu $3, soft egg $2, corn $1.50, bamboo shoots $1.50, nori $1, black garlic oil $1.50, and more). Most locations allow customization via a table card or by informing your server. Noodle substitutions and dietary modifications should be asked about at the time of ordering.

Is there vegetarian ramen at Kyuramen?

Yes. The Vegetarian Miso Ramen ($17) is the dedicated vegetarian bowl on the standard menu — it uses a kombu and shiitake dashi base with white and red miso, topped with roasted corn, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, bok choy, green onions and nori. No chashu. It's a genuinely satisfying bowl, not an afterthought. Edamame ($6) and Agedashi Tofu ($8) are the main vegetarian appetizer options. Guests with vegan needs should confirm at ordering, as several toppings contain egg or fish-derived ingredients (soft egg, fish cake, bonito flakes on the takoyaki).

What are the best toppings to add at Kyuramen?

The most popular add-ons at Kyuramen are the extra chashu pork belly ($3) — two more slices of the slow-braised pork that defines the bowls — and the soft-boiled marinated egg ($2), a nearly universal upgrade that adds richness and a jammy yolk to any bowl. For the tonkotsu bowls specifically, the black garlic oil (mayu) at $1.50 adds significant smoky depth, and the kikurage mushrooms ($1.50) are a classic textural addition in the Hakata ramen tradition. Corn ($1.50) pairs especially well with miso-based bowls.

How spicy is the Spicy Miso Ramen at Kyuramen?

The Spicy Miso Ramen is rated medium-spicy at Kyuramen's standard preparation — noticeable heat that builds through the bowl without being overwhelming for most guests accustomed to mildly spicy food. The Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen runs hotter, using a more aggressive togarashi paste blend. Both bowls are typically customizable for spice level — you can request mild for less heat or extra spicy for a more aggressive build. The Tan Tan Ramen (sesame pork) also carries heat from chili oil, but it is more aromatic-spicy than sharp-hot.

Where are Kyuramen locations in NYC?

Kyuramen operates multiple locations in New York City, primarily in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Manhattan locations include spots in Midtown, Hell's Kitchen, and the East Village area; Brooklyn locations serve neighborhoods including Williamsburg and DUMBO. Hours, exact addresses, and any seasonal location changes are best confirmed on the official website at kyuramen.com or via Google Maps. Most locations are open for lunch and dinner seven days a week; some take reservations through Resy or OpenTable for larger parties.
