ANI RAMEN, Montclair

10Ani Ramen Montclair, NJ

With locations in Summit, Jersey City, Maplewood, Cranford, New Brunswick, Newark and Princeton in addition to Montclair, you should have no trouble finding an Ani Ramen location in the northern New Jersey area... and you’re definitely going to want to find one next time you’re craving Japanese. Their menu may be somewhat small, but each item is an absolute hit. Their amazing appetizers range from Crispy Miso Sake Wings to Pork Belly Bao Buns, but it’s really the ramen that steals the show here. If you’re new to ramen, you can’t go wrong with the classic Shoyu ramen, packed with shoyu tare, pork belly, cabbage, chives, scallions, black garlic oil and a 24-hour-marinated soft-boiled egg in a comforting chicken broth. All this amazing food is served to you in a cool and casual setting that’s been designed to remind you of Japan itself. My advice: If you choose to order the wings pictured above on your next ramen date with a friend, order one set of wings per person, as there are only four wings to an order (and they’re insanely delicious.)
