Ramen DANBO in West Village is a small ramen shop that focuses on customizable bowls and a more traditional ramen experience. The space is compact with a cozy setup that fits the neighborhood, though seating can feel a little tight during busy times. The smaller dining area gives it a lively atmosphere, and it feels like the kind of place where you come in for a warm bowl of ramen rather than spend a long time lingering. The biggest highlight here is how much control you have over your ramen. Y
This place is SO delicious. Absolutely love the ramen here; it’s incredibly flavorful and customizable (can choose thickness of noodles , richness of broth, spice level, and add toppings)Food comes out pretty quickly, they are open late, and have a digital stamp card. Definitely would recommend.
Disappointed with my recent visit to Ramen Danbo. Found a hair in my ramen, wasn’t offered water while other tables were, and the negi goma lacked its usual flavor. The broth portion also felt very small. I used to enjoy this location, but I’ll be sticking to the Brooklyn one from now on.
