About Us

Karakatta Ramen brings bold, spicy Japanese ramen to the heart of New York City. Inspired by rich flavors and a love for heat, our menu is built around deep, savory broths and perfectly balanced spice.

Crafted with Care and Intensity

We slow-simmer our broth for hours and prepare our ingredients fresh daily, creating ramen that is both comforting and full of energy. From signature spicy ramen to handcrafted dumplings, every dish is made with care and intensity.

If you are looking for authentic Japanese ramen with a kick, Karakatta delivers a vibrant and unforgettable ramen experience in NYC.

More Than Just Ramen

Beyond our signature ramen bowls, we offer Japanese-inspired appetizers like takoyaki, karaage, and gyoza, plus rice bowl sets and a curated selection of Japanese beers, sake, and cocktails. We also serve mochi ice cream desserts — the perfect way to end your meal.

We take pride in offering vegetarian and vegan options, ensuring that all guests can enjoy a satisfying meal crafted with the same care and intensity as our signature bowls.

Greenwich Village Home

Nestled at 230 Thompson Street, our intimate space seats about 20–25 guests, creating a warm neighborhood atmosphere. We are part of the fabric of Greenwich Village — a place where locals gather, friends catch up over steaming bowls, and visitors discover the comfort of authentic ramen in NYC.

We welcome you every day of the week, from 11:30 AM to 11:00 PM. Walk-ins are always welcome — come as you are and leave nourished.
