The other night, I went to the Ramen Setaguya House in Flushing, Queens. There's a chains of these little restaurants, mostly in Manhattan. I believe there's one in the East Village and one in Greenwich Village. But yes, I went over to the one in queens. I ordered the Tsuke-men. Basically it's a large bowl of cold noodles, and then a side of soup/sauce, in which you dip the cold noodles in the smaller bowl for the best experience. The soup sauce is variable, depending on what you want to order. I ordered the pork-based soup, so it had little chunks of tender pork in it, with some seaweed and other salty delights. It was SO delicious. The funny thing is, even though I studied in Japan-- I NEVER had these noodles before! However, I did hear a lot of jokes about "tsukemen". There's this joke that you say, "ramen-,“tsukemen-, Boku ikemen!” (I'm very handsome!) It's like a Japanese rhyming joke. REAL funny...I think. But the guys said it a lot over there. Anyway, I always wondered what tsukemen was ... now i know! haha! A bowl of ramen costs about $8.50 - $12.00.
Taste: 4/5
Atmosphere: 2/5
Cost: Range about $9-$15 (depending on tip/drinks etc)
