Best Dishes at Marufuku Ramen

The signature dish from Marufuku's Bay Area roots, this tonkotsu achieves a milky, silken texture through extended simmering of pork bones. The chashu is generous and melt-in-mouth tender, the soft-boiled egg is perfectly seasoned, and the house-made noodles have satisfying chew. Multiple reviewers call this the best accessible tonkotsu experience in Manhattan.

The premium version features two types of pork belly—both meltingly tender and deeply spiced. The broth remains silky despite the richness. Corn and perfectly aged nori add sweetness and umami depth. Multiple Reddit threads and reviews call this version the splurge-worthy option.

Marufuku's creative spicy option layers the creamy tonkotsu base with sesame paste, chili oil, and Sichuan peppercorns that create numbing heat. The chashu is exceptional, and the side salad with sweet soy dressing provides a refreshing contrast. It's spicy but the broth quality shines through.
