NYC Dining Dilemma

I would consider Momofuku or Casa Mono if you want a "busier," more casual, dining experience.

I went to Momofuku once and it was awful. I remember the noodles were chewy! For good tasting, authentic Japanese ramen, the best I've ever had is Minca on 5th St. and Ave A. It's a very casual atmosphere, so I wouldn't recommend it to someone looking for more a more formal dining experience. But for anyone in NYC looking for awesome ramen (and gyoza), Minca is the spot.
