Stopped by last minute for a quick dinner and really enjoyed it. The staff were very professional and attentive. I was in and out within 15 minutes, which was perfect for a quick meal.

After a super long day a friend and I were craving some Japanese ramen. Normally I would be at Totto ramen but it was far too late and Teppen popped up after a quick Yelp search. For starters we were walking in long past 11pm but the staff were bright and welcoming and also quite inviting. There wasn't anyone else sitting inside at first but a few came after we were seated. The staff are Japanese. The food is delicious. We were served ice water upon sitting and then our orders were taking promptly after that. We didn't have to wait long at all of the food -- if anything it was surprised at how fast it came but then again we were originally the only ones there. While waiting there was Japanese music playing in the background just loud enough to enjoy but not so obnoxiously loud that you can't hear your own conversation. They also had a nice corner with manga books for a light read while passing time. I had the shoyu ramen and it was a solid bowl of ramen I'd definitely come back to have again regardless of the hour of day. The flavor was on point and the serving portion will leave you full and satisfied. It came with straight noodles and the texture was perfect. Overall a great bowl of ramen that ended my day with a win. I regretfully didn't try any other dishes as it was already pretty late but will definitely be coming back for more. Would recommend if you are especially hit with the late night cravings as they are open well past 12am!

I am not a huge ramen person; yet, we were hungry and needed something quick before hitting the road so here it goes: AWESOME FOOD, super fresh ingredients & authentic feels. SERVICE was quick & friendly. AMBIENCE was neat and cute. Very chill vibes, casual seating, homey feel. My recommendation? Get their Tan Tan ramen, both versions because they are slightly different from each other but equally spicy and warm to the insides!

Pros: - Recommendation: Teppen Shio Spicy - Hella good pricing $17 - $20 for ramen - Flavorful rich broth - Thick, juicy, succulent char siu - Jammy, creamy egg FOOD UNDERRATED ASF ramen spot in New York. HOT TAKE: I feel like Teppen is a better spot than Ichiran and Ipuddo. Pricing is a lot better for the portion and quality you get at this spot. Char siu here easily blows the other two out of the water. It's thick, fatty and succulent which when paired with the springy noodles and rich broth speaks to your taste buds and soul in a different type of way. AMBIANCE & SERVICE The restaurant is kinda small but like an intimate, cozy setting. Perfect for late night bites. Service was fast and readily attending to our needs

I've been here like two years ago and this place still doesn't miss. It's just down to earth, comfy Japanese cooking. Whether it's a warm light pleasant bowl of ramen or a filling Donburi or curry, you'll get a very pleasant Japanese comfort meal at a very reasonable price point. This time, I got the Shoyu Ramen, which was light and pleasant and had straight noodles with firm texture, just the way I like it. The pork is a little substandard compared to other great ramen places in the city but the broth is magnificent, warms you up on a chilly evening. Come in for a quick bite and walk out feeling satisfied

My husband and I came here for lunch on a Sunday and got seated right away. The service is very quick and you get your food really fast. We got the teppen spicy and teppen shio ramen and my favorite of the two was definitely the shio ramen. The broth was superrr flavorful and I love the noodles they used. The spicy ramen was just okay imo because the broth was too overpowered by spice but it wasn't spicy at the same time. Each bowl was a regular portion size and the pricing is typical nyc. Overall, thought the place was decent and I would only recommend coming if you were in the area. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. But for ramen, it's pretty good!

Lovely ramen restaurant tucked away in busy midtown east! Teppen had a simple lunch menu with a few different ramen options, in addition to other appetizers and entrees. The ramen was delicious -- both the spicy and the miso had creamy broth that were full of flavor. I would definitely come back for more if I found myself in the area again. The space itself is crowded, as is to be expected in this part of Manhattan. But they do a good job of making the most of the narrow floor plan, and the service didn't miss a beat, even at peak lunch times.

I came for dinner and was seated quickly. The restaurant seems clean with dim light and casual vibe. The menu is pretty standard for a ramen restaurant. I got the spicy shio ramen. The broth is the star of the show. It's full bodied, thick, with rich flavor of umami, sesame and garlic. The noodles have a good springy texture. The half egg that was served however was cold, unseasoned and hard boiled. The ramen came with 2 small and thin slices of pork which was too little for the price. Service was good and the waitress was quick to refill water when I run low.

Great place in Midtown East to grab a hot bowl of ramen. The only reason I am giving it 4 instead of 5 stars is because the prices are a bit high (my vegetarian ramen was more expensive than the pork ramen!). Vegetarian ramen is usually a hit or miss but this one had a depth of flavor! I loved the addition of fresh vegetables, they added a nice crunch as well as a unique flavor. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area! PS: I've also gotten takeout from here and it's just as good!
