I went here for a first date and it was super quiet and cozy. The food came less than 10 minutes after we ordered nice and hot and it was so good. And the person who served us was really sweet. I’d definitely go back there. And I now have a girlfriend so to me it’s a good luck experience :)

This is literally a hidden place. You might not notice it even walking by unless you see the sign. The restaurant is in the basement of the building but let that not detract you from coming. This place is worth it. It not good for large crowds but maybe a max group of 6. Great for 4 ppl or couple. The atmosphere is nice. This is like a speciality ramen spot for miso. They have 3 different types from Hokkaido Nagoya and Kyoto. The misos vary from dark and bitter to light and sweet.. they have lunch specials where you can mix and match. All the items were good. The karaage chicken was good and light. The black pepper tuna was light and savory. Everything went well with Asahi super dry beer . I recommend coming here especially on cooler day this spot will fill the tummy with good food.

Yummy!! Great experience. My husband and I wandered in here while walking around West Village. It truly felt like a “hole in the wall” experience. We were only one of two tables inside around lunch time which was surprising because the food was great, prices were reasonable, and service was great. Definitely recommend.

Misoya is a hidden ramen speakeasy located in a basement down a sketchy staircase in West Village. Once you step in, the restaurant is spacious with warm tone lighting and clean bathrooms. They specialize in all types of miso-based ramen, including Hokkaido, Kyoto and Nagoya style. We ordered 3 apps and 2 ramen for two people. Everything was authentic and enjoyable. Highly recommend trying their signature miso ramen as this is what they are known for. *Black Pepper Tuna The seared raw tuna sprinkled with black pepper is so delicious and full of flavor. The dijon mustard adds a tangy and sweet flavor that complements the tuna's natural sweetness. *Ikura Tofu* I described it as a tofu version of chawanmushi. The tofu is incredibly silky and jiggly, literally slipping into my throat. The dashi sauce coated on top has a slight hint of ginger-y flavor. They also give a decent amount of ikura to ensure you have it with tofu at every bite. *Ebi Dumpling I’ve never seen a whole shrimp wrapped in gyoza skin before. It is so unique as an appetizer and a less meaty appetizer to pair with your ramen. *Shiro Miso Cha-Shu Ramen** Shiro miso is a Kyoto style ramen using sweet and light soybean paste. This type of miso is less salty and milder compared to their two other miso options. We couldn’t stop but kept drinking the soup. The cha shu is seared to give a slightly smoky, caramelized exterior. The meat-to-fat ratio is simply perfect. *Cold Dipping Noodles** Summer special. I really enjoyed this soupless ramen as it is served cold. Very refreshing on hot days. The dipping sauce is miso-based with chilli powder on the side. The sauce is thicker and richer than the white miso, and the thick noodles hold up well to the sauce. Keep in mind both ramen come with many bean sprouts. Personally not a fan but my friend loved them.

Large bowls of delicious ramen! They had 3 kinds of vegetarian ramen, each with some customisations available. I tried the standard vegetarian ramen with extra spice, and it was delicious! The portion sizes are large! They also had a side of butter and cheese which was curiously good with ramen.

Mame miso was very unique, slightly earthy and bitter reminds me of herbal medicine, Shiro miso was white and creamy, mildly sweet and less salty, Kome miso is the most commonly seen miso, combined with curry becomes a super rich and comforting broth. Besides ramen, all their sides are decent too, especially the homemade ikura tofu, super silky and creamy, I literally gasp at first bite, definitely one of the best tofu you can find in NYC.

A small staircase in the heart of the west village will lead you to a kind of a wide cellar with brickwalls and wooden tables. The ramen is great! And there are so many options to choose from. The broth was deep and full of taste, and each of the ramens we took was huge - we couldn't finish them. Don't miss in the homemade shrimp dumplings. Also, there are many vegetarian options. We came in early and manage to use the happy hour as well!

Absolutely love this place for a hearty bowl of ramen. All three base broths are great and plenty of customisations available, even for vegans. Really enjoy the service and the hosts here every time. It's underground, so you'll need to climb down to get in. Very clean.
