EAK Ramen is located on 6th Ave close to 14th. I used to venture here all the time pre-pandemic, and there was always a line or people. I was curious to see how the restaurant was like since. Back in September 2018, I thought it was one of the better ramen places, but now, EAK also has a ton more competition all over the city. We were able to walk in on a Sunday early afternoon around 4 PM.

Believe it or not, their pastrami was actually better than Pastrami Queen.

Got the cheesesteak, and I regret it. This place is eh.

The only standalone Italian beef sandwich in the city. The other is at the Billsburg Smorgasburg and is a mess to eat. This place is pretty good for fast food.

Pretty good pastrami. It’s no Katz, and it’s not filling, but it was good. It’s thin sliced meats.

This is the old Mew Men place. Pretty good ramen. The spicy is actually spicy, and the broth is super flavorful. The only caveat is there is not a lot of stuff that comes with the soup. Just a few veggies, and that’s it. They should have some sort of combo or something.

Pretty good tsukemen. Get the spicy miso. Tsukemen seems fairly rare in NYC. Still looking for something similar to LA Tsujita.

Decent ramen. Got some super fancy ramen, and it was fat. Not the best though and it’s in a not so great neighborhood.

Decent ramen in the Greenpoint area.

This place was decent. Had to wait about 20 minutes. I think price wise it’s slightly cheaper than East Village stuff.
