Popular East Village Ramen Spot Opens Outpost In West Village

WEST VILLAGE, NY — Ramen lovers rejoice. A popular East Village ramen spot recently opened a location in the West Village.

Ramen Misoya opened in the first week of March at 535 Hudson Street with a below-ground entrance on Charles Street. Its original East Village location is at 129 2nd Avenue.

There is a small sign on the stairs of the Charles Street entrance to tell you you're in the right place.

Upton entering, there will be a second set of bright orange doors that you'll walk through and find yourself directly in the main dining room. The restaurant holds around 30 people.

The new West Village outpost is open every day besides Tuesday between 5 and 10 p.m. The hours are expected to be expanded in the coming weeks and months.

The menu includes pork and chicken-based soup, different types of ramen topped with ground pork, bean sprouts, cabbage, carrot, onion, scallion, corn and egg, fried shrimp, chicken curry and a vegetarian menu.

Ever since Japan’s Edo period (1600 to 1867 BC), Miso has been known to be both healthy and flavorful, and it has been loved for generations, since then," reads a section on Ramen Misoya's website. "Miso is made up of soybeans, rice or barley and salt. Miso itself is made through the process of fermentation or letting the ingredients sit through for a set period of time. Originating from China, it traveled to Japan roughly in the 9th century and became what we know as Miso today."
