There's a ton of ramen restaurants in New York City and many of them are quite forgettable. Susuru isn't one of them. And I would say this place holds up against a couple of my favorite ramen restaurants. Although it is kind of far from where I live, it was worth the trip. The restaurant is quite small. They specialize in their creamy chicken broth. And they have a unique take on chashu pork. I thought the broth was delicious, and the pork had a pretty strong ham flavor. I personally don't like ham so I knocked a point off for that. Their takoyaki is also delicious I also enjoyed their fried chicken app too! If you're ever in this area I definitely recommend trying this place out.

Do you live around? Stop! Oh you are so lucky!! that to have this place... is because it's really the authentic ramen that you can find in Queens!! In the cold weather This place is such an oasis and easy to warm yourself up :) They do have some craft beers which is the fun part hanging with friends! We jumped in around noon. the lunch time had just began! The place immediately got packed with locals. A friendly Japanese waiter welcomes you with great recommendations! We ordered Karaage (Deep-fried chicken) and Gyoza for appetizers! They wow you for sure. and I really appreciate how they served them before ramens. Such a Japanese way of treats when you are having drinks with. After that we all got different ramens! I got Miso one and was amazed with the fresh pulled noodles!! and Hot enough soup, Broth, all that.. we all got a happy food comma... now I miss it already! See this?5 Stars!

A very solid ramen joint in Astoria! The chicken karaage was 10/10, huge chunks of meat, perfectly seasoned with extra black pepper on top, and very crunchy. The aioli was like a spicy mayo. I got the kuro ramen which is their normal ramen with charsu pork and black garlic oil. The broth was delicately light and the addition of chopped raw white onions makes it perfectly fragrant. The pork was smoky and well seasoned. It was the perfect comforting bowl in the winter time. It was about a 30 min wait for 2 around noon on Saturday.

Came on a Saturday around 1 PM with a friend, there aren't too many places to sit so I'm glad we came when it was not too busy. when we were leaving about an hour or two later it was a little bit of a wait. Had the Kuro Ramen, which was super delicious and would definitely recommend, along with an IPA.

Susuru is quickly becoming one of my favorite ramen shops in New York, especially since I now live within walking distance to it. The chicken based ramen broth is really flavorful and the noodles are wavy with a good bite to them. My favorite order is gyoza and chicken karaage to start, following up with the Kuro ramen that comes with the black garlic oil, pork, egg and diced onions. It's a cozy little shop with a few tables, but the service is so friendly. Honestly it makes it feel like I'm back in Japan. It's totally worth making a visit here.

Ramen was exactly what we needed on a cold December night! - restaurant is quite small with only about 10 tables. Went around 7:30pm and waited about 15-20min which isn't too bad - there was only 1 waitress working but she seemed friendly and nice - we got the Kuro and Miso ramen, they use the thick wavey noodles so there's a nice chew to them - Both $17 each and and also came with 2 thick pieces of chasiu and 1 ajitsuke tamago (ramen egg) - would give this a 4/5 in taste as well as the broth was a little thicker than usual and temperature was on the warmer side than hot. kuro noodles were on the more Al dente side while the miso noodles were softer and cooked more - good alternative if you're craving ramen and don't want to go into the city

Quick, delicious, no frills ramen spot tucked away on an unsuspecting avenue in Astoria. After reading rave reviews here I came on a weekend to grab myself a bowl, and was surprised at how long the wait was to get in even though I'd come fairly early in the evening. We put our names down, and after around 30-40 minutes of waiting tables started to turn, and we were ushered in. This place does need to turn tables due to its popularity, so if you're here for a leisurely meal, no you're not. We were seated, given water and menus, and around five minutes later our server wanted to know whether or not we'd made a decision. My date got their vegetarian option, and I went with the gyokai, a seafood based ramen, which was rich and flavorful. One thing that got me here was the price of chili oil. Charging a dollar for a little extra squirt seems steep to me, but whatever, it helped take my ramen to the next level. Definitely will be back here.

Tiny hole in the wall ramen joint in a more lowkey residential part of Astoria. It is very easy to miss if you aren't looking for it. There are a few tables inside but I do not recommend for large groups. I got their paitan ramen which is chicken broth based with a unique twist on chashu (leaner cut with a chew similar to ham). The broth is satisfying, not heavy and did not leave me bloated. The noodles were chewy and is the wavy thick style. I also appreciated how it comes with a full softboiled egg by default (not a half egg like most places). I also enjoyed the spicy bite of raw onion that was added to the broth. The only ding for me was that my ramen was supposed to come with bamboo shoot topping per the menu description but was a bit disappointed that it was missing. But still would like to come back and try the black garlic oil next time.

Food: ramen was so yummy!! I think it's the best I've had in nyc. The pork was also seasoned well. The egg was cooked perfectly. Black garlic oil added such a nice flavor to the broth. Takoyaki balls were delicious and had a lot of filling. Service: we were seated quickly and food was made pretty fast as well. Server was nice and attended to our water needs. Ambiance: clean restaurant. Nothing to complain. Good amount of seating and wasn't overcrowded.
