Okiboru House of Tsukemen

New Asian-Owned Restaurants In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"If you see a line of people on the sidewalk around Orchard and Delancey, it’s probably for Okiboru. After training in Japan and finding success in Georgia, the owners opened a 20-seat counter in New York where they serve only two items: tsukemen with thick, cold noodles and a gravy-like broth, and tontori ramen with thin noodles and a fatty pork and chicken broth. Both bowls are worth the line, and the line moves fast. Everything about this place seems designed to get you in and out as briskly as possible. You’ll get your food minutes after you order it on your phone, and there’s no alcohol or dessert to stick around for. Stop by Okiboru when you’re eating solo—these noodles and broth deserve your undivided attention." - team infatuation
