    Wings. Everything Ramen. Craft Japanese beer selection is tops.

    Yesterday had the wings which were some of the best I've had but the chicken broth ramen and its noodles were barely mediocre. The broth was weak and tasted slightly fishy, limp and bland noodles.

    Get the short rib buns to start. They're unique and almost taste like brisket.

    Go for the Miso Tonkotsu Paitan Ramen. It was an off menu item, so if you see it dive in!

    Decent ramen. Could be the best in the area, due to lack of competition. Prices look a bit high - $15 per bowl.

    Spicy miso was great. Ask for a sake recommendation; they really know their stuff!

    Soundtrack is on par with, if not better than the ramen here. Excellent on both counts.

    No line and quick service on a Friday night. Best bet for nice sit down near BAM?

    Vegetable ramen is pretty tasty, as are the gyoza, wings, and oysters.

    Good favor. Cute and chic. But not as authentic as expected. The gyoza was dry and undercooked. Disappointed. :( #jkhknyc #goodeats #nyc #brooklyn #genso #ramen #foodteek

    Try to go during their weekday happy hour. You'll feel a little bit better about the prices.

    Average at best. Tried gyoza, pork buns, miso soup. Everything was ok but the pork buns were especially bland. Any other ramen place I've been to in the city has been pork buns.

    Wanted to like this place so much. Good food, clueless staff dropping f bombs at the pass, two feet from customers.

    While best known for its ramen, Ganso's off-menu vegetarian chili is _to die for._

    Kari Kari buns were really good as was the short rib ramen. They rushed us too much though, even though it was half empty.

    Just a heads up. There is only 1 vegetarian based ramen on the menu made with mushrooms.

    Meh.. the edamame is good. The Gyoza is ok.. I got the spicy miso and it's too salty and I've had way better. Also tried the veggie ramen and it's super bland. Had better
