Menya Ramen House

Great ramen. I highly recommend getting the shio ramen without the red onions, and opt for the chicken instead of pork chashu. Skip the karaage and go for the delicious gyoza or takoyaki instead. I generally think tonkotsu is overrated; a light chicken ramen done well (like in here) can taste just as complex and perhaps more elegant. Plus, you get to walk out without feeling like you’ve downed an entire brick. Ordering the shio instead of shoyu or truffle will allow you to maximally enjoy the pristine chicken flavor. I recommend asking for no red onions because it can overpower the broth. Ramen is evaluated on three components: soup, noodle, and toppings. They’ve got the soup down pat. Very flavorful. The noodles had a great bite. For me, mushy noodles is a dealbreaker, so I was very gla

We tried both vegetarian options on the menu, and they were well prepared. The portion sizes were satisfying and the service was good. The flavors were balanced , especially since vegetarian ramen can be hit or miss at many places. That said, I do wish the bowls had been a bit more generous with the vegetables.

Jenna, thank you for the black garlic oil recommendation and thank you for you friendly spirit. You definitely leveled up my DoorDash experience. Highly recommend Shoyu with ajitama, and black garlic oil.. it was 10/10! The chicken was fresh, so were the noddles , and the broth was so amazing it wasn’t oily and it wasn’t too watery it was made just right. Probably the best ramen I’ve ever had in NJ !

Menya Ramen House in Metuchen was excellent. I had the tonkotsu and the truffle shio, both rich, balanced, and full of flavor. Portions were generous and the price felt fair. The inside was cute and welcoming, with a cozy atmosphere that matched the food. They were celebrating their 5-year anniversary when I visited, so congrats to them.

This place is an absolute gem! We tried both vegan ramen options and they were bursting with flavor—so comforting and delicious. The veggie gyoza was light, tasty, and paired perfectly with the ramen. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the staff are warm and welcoming. It’s one of those spots where you instantly feel at home, and the food really hits the spot. I’ll definitely be coming back again and again!
