Vibe N Slurp

My favorite food is ramen! Korean but I can’t find that in Ocean County! Finally talked hubby into trying ramen & I found this place for date night! This place nailed my expectations & beyond! The food so amazing! So fresh, delicious & worth every penny! BYOB & prices are budget friendly & portions that will fill your belly! The owner, wife & the new chef killed it! I can’t wait to go back! Happy to find my 1st go to ramen spot in Ocean County! Definitely has one of a kind VIBE! Makes you feel like you walked in off the street in NYC but cleaner ;)
11.7.25-owner mentioned they will be closed for 3 weeks due to renovations & upgrades! Even better things to look forward to! Can’t wait!

Cannot recommend this place enough!!! The ramen is absolutely delicious my partner licked the bowl clean… TWICE. The oxtail bao buns were our fav this past time. Definitely get them when they’re on special!!
I always go for their tonkotsu and it’s always extremely flavorful. The eggs were cooked to perfection!
Chef Wayne as his team are nothing but kind and attentive. The owner had come over to us and chatted with us for a long time about how he started and gave us a little backstory:)
Best ramen, 10/10, can’t wait to be back:)

Everything we tried was great. The owner and his wife were working the location and gave us a genuine experience as well as the back story to the Ramen house's beginning. We had the Oxtail Curry Ramen, the Karaage Chicken rice bowl, and the traditional pork Bao Buns. They run specials and use quality ingredients. It's a fusion concept for the ramen and not exactly traditional but the Trinidadian/Island spin was unique and I look forward to coming back to try their other creations!

I finally made it to the restaurant. The owner (Wayne) is so warm, accommodating and very personable. I knew after the many phone conversations he would be. His restaurant will be undergoing changes, so his hours are different each day. I called him prior to confirm he would be open, since the ride is over an hour away from me. He was gracious to open his restaurant and cook for me. He drove from New York (he said, “108 miles one way”), with a smile to accommodate me knowing I had been trying for months to dine at his restaurant. His food was delicious and well worth the wait! I started with Chef Jeannie's Tao Chicken. The chicken with the sweet and spicy chili sauce had the perfect crunch and a slight kick to it. Each bite was delicious with the rice. There was a hint of butter after each bite, which was different and pleasing to my palate. I followed it with the curry oxtail ramen and it didn't disappoint. I am part Japanese and grew up eating ramen, saimin, pho, udon, etc. This soup is one of the best ramen I have had. The combination of Caribbean/Japanese fusion is exquisite. The oxtail was so tender the meat fell off the bone. The soup was tasty; the curry flavor and spices were delicious and the soup had the perfect level of heat.

Thank you Chef Wayne for making my day!!!! Will definitely be dining there again!

If you haven’t tried this place, you are missing out. The owner chef Wayne and Jeanne are amazing, very sweet and welcoming. They do their best to upkeep the place as well as the food - Chef’s Kiss 100/10. Definitely my go-to ramen place. Do follow them on IG: OfficialChefWayne.
