Ramen restaurant ★4.0 (103)·$10–20

4.0
Came on a rainy day, so everything was quick and easy. I liked the multiple arrangements of seats, the aesthetic is very calming. Nice kpop music playing too. The food wasn’t extraordinary but not bad at all. We ordered the Udon ramen and the miso soup and liked the different texture of noodles. Ordered kaarage, very yummy. Also tried Gyon, thinly sliced beef and rice, however the beef was very sweet it wasn’t up to my taste/what i had expected. I personally don’t like sweet beef but i know it’s pretty common and very well received among many people. The mochi was the best i’ve ever had, but that’s coming from someone who only tried mochi 2 other times and didn’t like it. The strawberry mochi was good. Our server was friendly and communicated nicely, wish i got his name to give him an shoutout. Overall the experience was nice and comfortable. i’m glad this establishment is here. Will be coming again. Thank you. - Melitza M

### What is Worth Choosing

Choosing to dine at Ramen Gami is choosing a genuine, high-quality Japanese dining experience in the heart of New Jersey. The combination of authentic, flavorful cuisine and a welcoming environment sets it apart. The main attractions are undoubtedly the ramen and the sushi, but the whole menu is built around comfort and quality.

For the ramen enthusiast, the **Build Your Own Ramen** option is a fantastic way to personalize your bowl, starting with a base of **Miso, Tonkotsu, or Shoyu** broth for $$12.00$. The complexity and depth of the broth are what patrons frequently rave about, often describing the ramen as "full of flavor." Don't overlook the specialized **Shio Ramen** on Fridays and Sundays for a different, equally delicious experience.

Beyond the noodles, Ramen Gami is a strong contender for the best sushi in the area. Their extensive **Sushi and Signature Roll** selection—all reasonably priced, with most signature rolls like the **Ramen Gami (Signature Roll)** and **Kamikaze Roll** around the $$18.60$ to $$21.60$ range—offers a fresh take on classic and modern sushi.

As a complement to the main dishes, the **Side Dishes** are must-tries. The **Karaage** (Japanese fried chicken) is noted as being "very yummy," and the selection of small plates like **Gyoza, Shumai, and Takoyaki** are perfect for sharing or a light appetizer. For dessert, the **Mochi** is highlighted by customers as a true standout, even for those who are typically skeptical of the treat. The **strawberry mochi** in particular has earned high praise.

What truly makes Ramen Gami worth choosing, however, is the complete package: the quality of the **comfort food**, the range of **healthy and quick bite options**, the consistently friendly and communicative **staff**, and the comfortable **vibe** that makes every visit feel nice and cozy. It’s a highly recommended establishment for any New Jersey resident seeking an authentic and enjoyable Japanese culinary adventure. You're not just getting a meal; you're getting a slice of a welcoming local culture.
