Good Ramen shop in Princeton area?

Does anybody know of a good japanese ramen shop in NJ? I'm willing to visit any excellent ones, though the closer to Princeton the better.

    Yes! Just discovered honshu in the nassau shopping strip (mercer mall). hard to see it's behind houlihan's etc... It's japanese and korean and they have ramen.... VERY GOOD!

      Edo in New Brunswick is now advertising themselves as a sushi and ramen place. There is also Rai Rai Ramen #3 in North Brunswick, which I have been wanting to try but it is an hour+ drive for me. Has anyone been to either?

        Rai rai is a great little ramen spot! Upon walking in it looks like a run of the mill chinese take out place as they also serve sushi/chinese but it is a RAMEN house. An hour is a long drive but...

          My husband and I tried Rai Rai. It is a hole in the wall, but not expensive and the server was very patient in answering my questions about the menu. I recommend getting one of the mini ramen sets with fried rice - their pork fried rice was absolutely delicious! Oh, and the ramen was good too. But I love fried rice!

                wow, that place has changed hands at least 3 times
                I first came to know it as Taiwan Wok or something like that

            If you make it up to Mitsuwa...you gotta try their shio (salt) ramen with the special pork. So so so so so good.

            Inspired by the NYT's Travel section article yesterday? If not, give it a read.
