About Salmon Noodle 3.0

A completely new style of ramen, where rich, flavorful salmon takes center stage — now in lower Manhattan.

Our Story

A New Era of Ramen

Salmon Noodle 3.0 was created to update what ramen can be. Instead of pork or chicken, rich and flavorful salmon takes center stage, and French culinary techniques are used to design every element of the bowl — from aroma and temperature to the lingering finish.

A carefully prepared broth, drawn from whole salmon, gently elevates each ingredient's unique character. And at the end, guests add rice to transform it into a risotto-like experience. One bowl delivers the evolving flavors and delightful surprises of a full-course meal.

Our goal is simple: to bring “an extraordinary culinary experience” to the familiar comfort of everyday ramen.

What We Believe

Three Promises in Every Bowl

Salmon at the Center

Broth drawn from whole salmon and salmon bones, lightly seared salmon on top — the fish is the star, not a garnish.

French Technique

Precise heat control, layered aromas and restrained sauces give each bowl the structure of a full-course meal.

A Lasting Finish

Truffle, caviar, balsamic and a risotto ending — designed so the last spoonful is as memorable as the first.
