Karakatta Ramen | Our Story
Bold ramen on Thompson Street
Karakatta is a spicy Japanese ramen bar at 230 Thompson Street in the heart of Greenwich Village — built around deep, slow-simmered broths and a love of serious heat.
Broth that takes all day
The kitchen slow-simmers its broth for hours and preps every ingredient fresh daily — the kind of patience you can taste in the first spoonful. Nothing here is rushed.
Heat on your terms
Every ramen on the menu comes in five spice levels, from mild (Level 1) to extremely spicy (Level 5) — heat is a feature, not an afterthought. Pick your level and own it.
Beyond the bowl
Gyoza, takoyaki, and karaage share the menu with rice bowl sets, Japanese beer, sake, cocktails, and mochi ice cream — everything you need to turn a ramen run into a proper meal.
A neighborhood spot in Greenwich Village
About 20–25 seats, warm red light, and walk-ins always welcome. Counter stools, intimate energy — no reservations needed.
