It is usually hard to find a ramen place with genuinely good vegan or vegetarian options. They usually just feel like an afterthought. But this place completely nailed it. I ordered the Vegan Tofu Curry with wheat noodles, and everything about it was just too damn good! The broth was incredibly creamy, the portion sizes are huge, and the in-house made noodles are so fluffy and fresh. Shoutout to the amazing servers, too! If you love ramen (vegan or not), you need to add this place to your list immediately. I will definitely be coming back!

My fam of 3 visited Nishiki Ramen today, because I’ve been craving ramen for some time now! This place?? SO GOOD. Restaurant is in a new build. We went during the week and around lunch time, so it was super quiet and far from packed. Service was great and our server was super attentive! Our food also came out super quick and was delicious! They offer a simple, but free, appetizer called “The Shake” (I think, lol – name might be wrong!) but it was a great treat!

Excellent Ramen. They rank their most popular dishes on the menu and #1 is the Smoked Bomb Black which we tried this evening. The broth was exceptionally rich and flavorful and the noodles were perfection. We also had the chicken curry katsu but it didn’t hold a candle to the Smoked Bomb Black, a definite must try. Great Job!

A great place to have a good bowl of ramen. Safe to say this would be one of local favorites for authentic Japanese ramen. We came in after Google search nearby ramen place for dinner. Great location across the street from Mitsuwa Japanese Market. Nishiki Ramen big sign outside. You won’t miss it. We came in and welcomed by front desk staff. The host were friendly and kindly introduced their menu. Big shout to Nghi our server at the time. She explained the special menu and gave some recommendations. She also helped us fixing what the dish made a mistake. They fixed I for us. We enjoyed our ramen, Takoyaki, and edamame. They also got nice free treats to try. If you are first time trying ramen, you can’t go wrong with their no 1 and not with Tonkotsu creamy ramen. We came home full. Highly recommend for visitors or ramen lovers. ⛩️

We came here for the first time and enjoyed the flavorful ramen we had. The place is cute, clean, and our waitress gave us great service. They offer a variety of food options that aren’t ramen too.

Decided to try this place on a whim and was pleasantly surprised! We ordered the chicken karaage as a starter which was hot, crunchy and flavorful. My ramen of choice was the Notorius GGG which was packed with lots of garlic which I love! Tasty food and friendly service; will be back in the future.

The fried chicken was well marinated and juicy. The breading was thin but crispy. The seasoning was quite different, and I could taste distinctive ginger flavor. The black garlic oil ramen was not bad, and even better with some spicy paste. If you like strong spice flavor, this ramen is the way to go, since it combines garlic, red ginger, and diced green onion
The Yokohama ramen was way too salty. It was tolerable when you finish the noodles and put in rice.

AMAZING RAMEN PLACE!! They were super quick to seat us and bring our food out! The vibe is really easy going and it seems like the next door ramen shop.
Our server Mary-Anne was the BEST too! She’s super kind and very attentive, and she was the only server working in the restaurant.
This place has been open for only a year so it’s brand new too!

Delicious, fast, and great atmosphere. I had the smoke bomb Ramen and it was phenomenal! My server was Sam and he was on TOP of everything! I didnt have to wait for a refill or anything, he was very attentive. I will be back when I am back in the area.

Typically, there are only one or two vegan options at a Ramen spot, but this place has SIX!
Customer service :: Very welcoming!
● Vegan Soy Karaage Curry :: 4.5
This was very good!! I had them put the fried soy meat on the side bc I didn’t want it soggy, and I also wasn’t going to eat it all. I don’t consume mock meats often, but I wanted to try it anyway. I ate a couple of pieces and left the rest. The soy meat is pretty decent, but going forward, I’d omit it. I’m trying the spicy one next time!!
