About us
Welcome to the NYC Ramen Enthusiasts Club. This Meetup group, formed in 2017, is dedicated to ramen fans, supporters, devotees, as well as aficionados. We have grown to over 1700 members!The club is built on values of being open-minded, progressive, kind, and hungry. The goal is to foster a sense of community through food and friendship.
We will go to dinner once or twice month. Each dinner will be limited to a small group.
We go to some of the best ramen shops in the city and also periodically try some of NYC's finest Asian noodles from soba to udon to pho.
Rules:
- Members, please must bring cash to pay for your ramen!
- You cannot skip a dinner. If you need to change your RSVP please do so within 48 hours of the event to be be courteous to others. Those who cannot follow this simple rule will be removed from the group---so sorry, can't have last minute cancellations and no shows with a dinner meetup.
- Excessively holding and changing RSVPs to hold spots and not attending is challenging for people who want to attend. Please make sure you can attend a dinner! Excessive schedule changes without 0% attendance will result in removal from the group. So sorry, there a lot of members who wish to join the dinners.
