RameNesque — Restaurant in City of Peekskill

Wildly disappointing experience, especially since Peekskill is in dire need of good Asian cuisine. If you’ve had excellent ramen before, don’t even bother. If you’ve had good ramen before, you’d be disappointed. If you’ve never had ramen, I’d still recommend a pass. I got the miso ramen with chashu. It was bad. Really bad. The broth is weirdly oily and tastes mainly of dashi and something sickly sweet. Not a drop of miso or umami detected. The chashu was embarrassing: stringy, tough and in 5 sad pieces. For some reason there was corn and spinach? The noodles did not have the toothiness that fresh ones do. You only get only half of an over boiled, unmarinated egg and the tiniest little slice of naruto I’ve ever seen. No menma or green onion. Overall the whole bowl was very unpleasant. I had 4 bites and then asked for the check. The place is clean (though the sushi bar is unusually pungent) and the staff wasn’t unpleasant, so I’d probably give more than one star - except 3 different people asked me if I wanted to take my uneaten ramen to go, and when I said I didn’t like it, they didn’t ask any follow up questions or apologize. I wasn’t trying to get a free meal, I was clearly paying, but they were either complacent or too scared to get feedback. (Based on other reviews, I’m guessing the later.) Why waste your money on bad, inauthentic, expensive ramen when you could be spending it on literally anything else? Outside of ramen, there was a pretty good sake selection, but $11 for cup sake (like the kind you buy at a conbini) is robbery. Additionally, the menu as a whole lacked any seasonality at all - you’d think featuring a cold noodle dish would be a winner in the summer. But there doesn’t seem to be much thought going on here. There were no...

Falls well short of expectations. Came with a group of friends and drove a little out of our way for this spot since we were craving ramen. Walking from the front, through the kitchen, was an interesting experience, however, the seating area is a very warm and inviting atmosphere. Ordered our appetizer and it was a different version of what we expected (Korean vs Japanese), and then the ramen came. Difference between extra spicy and regular were nonexistent, a bottle of siracha sauce was provided, which is a red flag, and not something expected from ramen establishments but more what you would expect for pho. The noodles used were similar in consistency to Top Ramen noodles, the broth was like flavored water, lacking in the flavors one would expect from ramen. The meat used was also not the typical meat that is used in ramen dishes. All in all, no one finished their meals and we had to find food elsewhere after coming here. I guess if you aren't used to what ramen tastes like, and just looking for something warm to eat that looks aesthetically similar to ramen, then this is the spot to go. But I wouldn't come again, there are plenty of other options out there. Solid 1/10 recommendation. Have a hard time understanding the high ratings...

The Dan Dan ramen, is rich and savory with a chilli punch that is not overwhelming. The noodles are firm paired with succulent chicken and runny egg. Paired with a strawberry or pineapple nigori sake makes for a tastey hot sweet combo. And an amazing burst of flavors.

Most of all, you must try the miso soup. It really is the best I have every had and is the one I judge all others by. Its a perfect blend. Not too salty and nothing but flavor. There isn't a better miso soup anywhere is the area.

If you are interested is Thai, you can not go wrong with the green Thai curry chicken. Full of flavor and warm spice. You can tell its truly done with authentic ingredients.

Everything I have heated here is packed with flavors and keep me coming back for years.

If you want excellent Japanese and Thai flavors this is the...
