About
Tsujita is a Tokyo-founded ramen institution with 18 locations in Japan and over 11 in the United States, including this first New Jersey outpost that opened in 2023. Founded by Takehiro Tsujita, the brand has become synonymous with tsukemen — a style where thick noodles are dipped into a concentrated, intensely flavored broth — as well as premium tonkotsu ramen. The Fort Lee location serves broth that is simmered for over 15 hours, achieving a richness and depth that has made the chain a destination for serious ramen enthusiasts. The restaurant operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations.
