Mr Taka
25 people recommend, 1 warns against itvia r/FoodNYC, r/AskNYC26 comments cited below
What people say, in short
Many people recommend Mr Taka on Allen Street, with a couple singling out the tonkotsu and other diners praising the miso, a spicy black tantanmen or a vegan bowl. One says the portions are bigger than at other ramen spots, and another enjoyed the tantanmen even though the place was packed. The main caveat is a diner whose group finished eating long before the ramen arrived and who will not return.
