Cliffside Park got its ramen shop back. Blackbeard Ramen, at 607 Gorge Rd, reopened on October 30 after a sudden closure that lasted more than two months.
The shop closed in August because of a serious medical condition affecting a member of its team. In its reopening post, the restaurant thanked customers for their patience and support while the team navigated it.
Blackbeard has been at this since 2015, and it built a loyal following the slow way: a small room, authentic Japanese comfort food, and bowls people cross towns for.
The lineup regulars missed is back: the signature Blackbeard ramen alongside shoyu and miso, plus the green curry and red curry ramen that give the menu its second gear.
The shop is back to regular hours for dine in. One note: third party delivery may be limited while operations return to normal, so the move is to go in person.
Ramen weather is here, and a decade old shop fighting its way back is the easiest rooting interest in Bergen County right now.
