Reviews for Karazishi Botan in Brooklyn, NY
Authentic tonkotsu ramen - Fukuoka style. Amazing ramen broth with options for kaidama (extra noodles). The karage (fried... chicken) was the best I?ve had in Brooklyn with enormous portions (Sapporo style) made with dark meat (the only way to make it).Excellent service and quaint ambience. Get there early or there might not be any seats. Read more
Had the red spicy dumplings to share and a couple ramens for dine-in. Dumplings were perfectly cooked and every piece of the... ramen - broth, noodles, meat- were also great! Read more
Went here with a few pals on my NYC vacation and they absolutely nailed the noodles and broth here. We all agreed that it was... one of the better ramen places we had been to. Really tasty options. I didn?t find the ramen with wasabi to be too spicy either.Well balanced, full soups. The servers were kind and helpful too. Popular place and it makes sense why! Read more
Very good service. Spicy dumpling and ramen were great. Definitely come back again.
Unique and strong tasting broth sets this ramen restaurant apart from others. The texture of the noodles with their firmness... feeling very substantial with every bite. You'd be hard pressed to not eat every bite. The dumplings shine in their own eachcolor with their own unique flavors. The corn bits inside the dumplings threw us off at first, but added a nice texture to eachbite. But the flavors added were great. In our case we got the red and black dumplings. The meatballs made for an excellentsmall dish as well. Chaulk full of flavor part BBQ part... Well I don't know what else, but it was a great blend. There's somany dishes to try we're definitely coming back. Glad they're in Brooklyn and the chef stepping out from Ippudo! Read more
So so so so soooooo good! I am so glad that now we have one of the best ramen noodle place near our home! Their backyard is... super cute and luckily we've got the best spot! Staffs are super kind and caring to kids as well. We ordered variety of stuffbut every single menu was tasty. I had basic shoyu ramen, and the flavor you get from this clear soup is just amazing. I wish Ican describe. I am Japanese and I am super picky with ramen noodle. This was the first time I felt that I was proud to beJapanese! My son had meatball burger. Wow he loved it! Their crab cream croquets are out of this word... I highly recommend thisplace. I want to go there everyday to eat this ramen... only if we were rich though! Read more
Came here tonight on opening night, busy even at 9p. I expected nothing less in waiting. After I was kindly seated at the... counter/bar the food and drinks I ordered arrived quite quickly. The service and hospitality is overall very very good. I triedthe oxtail which was very delicious but the high price tag for 1 piece makes me question the worth of it. I then tried the CaptBrooklyn which might've been gimmicky in which they give you a small Capt America shield to protect yourself from the splashingoil that they pour over the bowl of ramen. I did feel a little bit if splash so gimmicky as it may be it does help shield you abit. As for the point of it, it highly reminded me of the fire ramen I tried in Kyoto where they set your ramen on fire. Itbrings out a very fragrant smell and I'm sure it adds some flare to it. As for the noodles they were well cooked and the softegg was perfect. As for the broth, it isn't for the faint of heart, it started off quite tame then as you eat and drink more ofit the spiciness level catches up to you very quickly! Overall food and service makes me highly recommend this place althoughit is quite expensive but for the area and being in NYC you really can't expect affordability when the restaurants need to paythe high rent. Also I would like to see how this location plays out as I think they may run into the troubles of lines out thedoor and people taking their time eating which might affect their service. I hope this won't be the case. Read more
The staff here was so welcoming and kind. I liked the menus, some incorporated some history to the selections and I thought that... was special. I got the crispy two piece chicken and the pan head ramen (miso). I will say the add-ons we're expensive (+$3 foran egg!). Ramen isn't complete without an egg so it surprised me that it wasn't already included, that would be my onecomplaint. The fried chicken was crispy yet tender and moist on the inside. The miso broth was so rich and delicious. Read more
