    Wow, this place is incredible. If you’re reading this, you MUST get the crispy chicken boa buns. Every time I go, I usually get the roast pork belly rice bowl, which is excellent. Sometimes they have specials, and every time I’ve tried one it’s been so tasty. The service is great and the ambiance is awesome. This place is a true gem.

    TERRIBLE food, NEVER will order from here again! My daughter got spicy ramen; she eats spicy foods often. This was doused with SO MUCH spice that she threw up a few minutes after eating it. PLUS, I ordered "extra" noodles for another dish, which we were charged for ... but that dish had the same amount as the one that did NOT have "extra noodles." Rip off! Overpriced garbage! Their loss.

    Sooo glad we randomly found this spot while in the neighborhood - love the vibe and the service was great! This is by far one of the best ramen places we’ve been to on the island. We had the crispy chicken buns, chicken wings and the pork belly ramen - they were all FANTASTIC. What I loved about this ramen is it wasn’t stuffed with fillings like other places. All the flavor and umami came from the broth and I can’t believe how much I enjoyed the pickled mushrooms, too. The noodles were just perfect. Also, we really enjoyed the fresh ginger ale and lychee limeade - only wish they had a bigger serving of them. We don’t even live near this place, but I know we’ll make the hour drive again someday soon!

    An amazing dining experience in the Heart of Lindenhurst. A diverse menu and an amazing collection of cocktails and local beers, as well as an unbeatable Happy Hour. My personal favorites are the Wings and Shrimp Burger, but I honestly have not had a bad item from the menu. A welcome addition, and a place that I frequent (and will be for quite some time).

    For an appetizer we had the crispy chicken bun and the pork bun. Both were amazing! For dinner we had the Bakuto Pork Ramen and the Spicy Beef Noodles. The Ramen was an experience in itself. So many flavors, so many textures…and the broth!!! Overall, it was absolutely delicious! The Spicy Beef Noodles were on a whole other level of deliciousness! It was sweet, it was spicy, the noodles were cooked perfect. The beef melted in our mouths! We asked who the chef was so we could personally let him know how he flat out hit a home run with our meals! Definitely go there!! You won’t be sorry!!

    My favorite place in town, we're here nearly every week. Everything on the menu is delicious, you can't go wrong. My only problem here is I always order too much food because I want it all! Current favorites are the chicken wings, the pork buns, and the pork gyoza. Great selection of cocktails and sake too!

    Wow! Awesome atmosphere, great service, and even better food. The pork steamed buns were the best I have ever had, and the homemade udon were incredible. The cocktails were also fun and delicious. I can't wait to go back, and for more new places to come to the village.

    Chicken katsu rice bowl was just average. Over priced in regard to portion size and flavor. Not enough chicken in the bowl. Pork bun was just ok. Small portion again for the price. Pretty much a two biter per bun. The KFC Sando chicken sandwich is tasty though...good flavor. If you don't like spice, do not get it though.

    It's hard to sound critical when every other aspect of the experience was great. Our server was attentive and friendly, the atmosphere and vibes were great. That being said, this ramen was not very good. Neither my partner nor I finished our plates which is very unfortunate considering that just goes to the trash in the end. The noodles had a very muted bland taste towards the end and the broth, while flavorful, was really oily and almost too seasoned. It felt like overcompensation to mask that specific noodle after taste. I'd go back for their buns though, they looked great.

    We’ve been coming here for over a year now and we really love it every time we come. The staff is lovely and always remembers us when we come in. The food is very good and they’re always trying out new items on the menu, which they usually post on Instagram. I personally love the chicken buns and the pork ramen (or the spicy pork ramen if you can handle the heat). The place is very cute as well and they’re always playing good music. They also have good deals for happy hour and their prix fixe menu. I would def recommend trying them out if you’re in the area!

    If you're looking for a good noodle spot in the middle of long island this place doesn't disappoint! The food was great, staff was was friendly and informative. Only negative is the size of the place, it's a little small but great for a quick bite!

    I love this place so much! The food is amazing. I usually get the bakuto pork Ramen and a chicken bun and both are so flavorful and delicious. The owner and all of the people who work here are so friendly and down to earth. The food, the atmosphere, the decorations, the Manga on the walls, the murals, just really make the place unique and I highly recommend it!

  • 5/5 Joyce L. 9 months ago on Google
    We decided to go with appetizers so we could try as much as we could, ordered Shrimp, Chicken and Pork buns, all were exceptional. we moved onto Gyozo and wings and they were delicious, cannot wait to return those tastes are just lingering, so good, we each ordered a different cocktail, all were great, will definitely be going back here!!

    The whole crew at Bakuto knows what they’re doing. Excellent spot to explore new food made and served by the experts. The whole crew is community-oriented, friendly, innovative, and professional. If you’re looking for a new option to add for date night or just an evening out with friends, add this to your list. You won’t be disappointed. If you’re not local, easily accessible by LIRR.

    The rice bowl with the chicken was awesome! I liked the spicy pork ramen as well but it was a little too spicy. Our waiter, Miles was very patient with our kids as well.

  • 5/5 karan l. 1 year ago on Google
    Can't go wrong with pork buns and spicy ramen but I get the feeling that the rest of the menu is really good as well.

  • 5/5 Delia 1 year ago on Google
    This place is amazing the food is delicious I’ve been a couple times and am satisfied with everything I order, the pork ramen? chefs kiss, corn dogs? Chefs kiss. Loaded fries? Delicious, chefs kiss. The chicken buns? Amazing chefs kiss. I’m not a chef but you get the gist. Anyway one of my favorite food spots in Lindy 10/10 recommend

  • 5/5 Lisa G. 1 year ago on Google
    Always excellent. The cocktails are unique and can't be found elsewhere. Always tasty and full. The food is exquisite. Never had anything I didn't like.. The new menu item standout is the scallion pancakes with pork jam. Amazing. Friendly service and fresh atmosphere

  • 5/5 Shirley T C. 1 year ago on Google
    ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!! The service was so welcoming! The food and drinks were top notch 👌🏼 The spicy pork ramen was spicy 🥵 but not so spicy that it overwhelmed the flavor. 🥥 drink creeps up on you 🥴 Ambiance is beautiful 🌸 🤩

    its very rare for a ramen bar to give extra broth but this place can. good service and gorgeous setting. pork ramen was superb. cocktail drinks a plus.

  • 3/5 Lauren T. 2 years ago on Google
    I was really excited to try this place, it's decorated really cool and we were seated right away. Our waitress was extremely friendly and helpful right off the bat. The crispy chicken bao buns were delicious, I'd return just for the buns in the least. We had the pork belly rice bowl and the wings both which were overly flavored? I put a question mark because when is too much flavor a bad thing - I never though it could be but the flavors were very heavy and pungent. I couldn't really taste anything but the immediate notes of Sesame oil and salt. The pork belly in the fried rice was really charred which isn't necessarily a bad thing but further took away from the flavor. Their cocktail menu is very creative and their tropical punch style drink comes in a lucky cat glass which is very cute. This place definitely has great potential and the portions are great for sharing and sampling. I wish I would've had room for dessert.

    Worst experience ever. Be careful what you order. The entre was very small in size - 3 pieces of beef the size of a finger. Wanted to send back and get something else instead but waiter said to keep it and he will get me rice bowl to add. Thought he was doing this in good faith to rectify situation - ended up charging me for both items which amounted to $29-. Then took 20 minutes for just a cup of tea. Asked to speak to manager and he ended up taking 1 of the items off, but still never sent over manager.

  • 2/5 Nathan W. 2 years ago on Google
    Understaffed. We waited 20+ minutes only for the hostess to come and take our drink order. Then we get the drinks another 10+ minutes later and my wife's drink was not there. The bartender brought it over and then he took our dinner order. Very unorganized. The pork bun was all fat. Chicken bun was okay. The dumplings were the best thing on the menu besides the spicy pork ramen bowl.
