Shinka Ramen And Sake

Bone Marrow, Pulled Pork Nachos and Pork Rib apps were all very delicious! Rib meat fell off the bone had a crispy outer crust that was amazing. The bone marrow was incredibly tasty, not too rich, and a very generous portion. The wonton nacho chips were a unique twist and great with the pulled pork. Followed up these apps by a perfectly flavored bowl of Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen with noodles cooked firm, at my request. Soup base was richly flavored but not too spicy or salty. The noodle portion was quite generous as well. My wife had Smoked Duck Ramen that literally came smoking, to the table. Duck had a real nice smokey flavor and the broth was equally well seasoned, again not too salty. Service was excellent and the owners stopped by a few times to introduce themseves and check up on us. Shinka is still relatively new, in the process of establishing itself and still perfecting their craft but definitely off to a great start. Located in the Wyndham Garden Hotel, in Chinatown, with the Bowery Beer Garden adjacent, a planned craft cocktail and dessert bar, downstairs, and Rooftop93 Bar & Lounge with an amazing view from the top of the hotel, this location is the perfect NYC hang out for drinks, great eats, and a fantastic view of uptown, all in one place!
