The Upper West Side is a ramen desert, which is why Jin Ramen is on constant rotation in our household. Serving Hakata-style ramen (known for pungent tonkotsu broth), the combination of thin chewy noodles and hand-crafted broth keeps us coming back on a monthly basis during the winter months.
Standout dishes include the Tonkotsu Ramen, a house favorite made with a creamy broth created from slow cooked pork bones topped with braised pork belly. If you’d like to try a signature dish, opt for the spicy version of the tonkotsu (my husband’s favorite dish).
