Compared to the other ramen restaurants I tried while in the NWA area, I will say that CO-OP was my favorite. Not only was the atmosphere great- I really loved the artwork, the privatized booth seating, and the fact that you got to order on a tablet at the front, making it all feel really Japanese- but the service that came with it was also nice. My friend who I dined with did get his order mixed up, but eventually got his order, and he enjoyed it! He got the spicy ramen while I got the Tonkotsu ramen with a pork bun. The pork belly in the bun was incredibly juicy. Whatever sauce they put in there made up for the mild flavor of the milk bun. The ramen was also incredible. I was grateful to the large pieces of pork, and the broth really deepened the flavor of the already established pork. The noodles were cooked well through but not too chewy/soggy. I was also grateful that the egg wasn’t hard boiled but rather soft boiled. There is a lot of flavor packed into a soft boiled egg rather than a hard boiled egg, so that was a plus. Overall, if you want high quality ramen with a Japanese vibe, go to CO OP!

Everything was amazing down too the atmosphere. The service 10/10. I have gone to, many other ramen houses around our area in Joplin MO. But these guys are fast. I would say after placing our order, it was like 6 min or less we already had our food coming! Amazing Food 50/10 but ill let my pictures tempt you to come down and try it out yourself! Great job CO-OP see you guys soon.

This is a tough one. Right at the front, the food here is incredible. Spent a lot of time in Japan and although these flavors are not traditional they certainly compete with the best of the best in flavor, while still feeling authentic to the nature of a traditional Ramen. The seasonal Duck ramen should be a main stay, if you happen to be there when it’s there go for it, it’s truly a special bowl.
That being said sadly the food prep and quality is inconsistent. If you come on a day where they are ON it’s a 10/10 , on other days far less and sometimes almost cold on arrival. That brings me to the service, there’s no other way to say it but it’s really bad. All the employees gather in the corner farthest from the entrance and sit on their phones and completely ignore anyone coming in until they order. Not only are you serving ramen in the middle of NWA it’s unique in its flavor profiles so you should assume PEOPLE WILL HAVE QUESTIONS. When you get their attention they are kind enough but you can’t seem to get past this look that screams “I just wanna get back to whatever I was doing on my phone!” The option for a tip comes up and your first thought is “In what world would I tip and encourage this behavior”
Solution: End the casual chipotle atmosphere and switch to a regular Dine-In Restaurant atmosphere. The interior Design is incredible and it’s undercut by this middle school cafeteria style of service. Switching to a regular Restaurant atmosphere will solve all Issues. Customers will be more inclined to return as their waiters help guide them in the menu so they don’t try something that’s not for them on their first visit. Servers will be more encouraged to perform as their tips will undoubtedly Increase as they begin to actually “Work”. Then if you cut the kitchen staff in on that increase, you will most likely see an increase in the consistency of quality food the kitchen prepares.
I only write all this because this place has crazy potential, however I have sent multiple people here and they had horrible experiences and mine have been so hit or miss that I completely understand them never coming back. If your coming for the first time I still highly recommend trying them and just cross your fingers and know it’s worth another shot if your not happy the first time

No service other than someone dropped off our food. No greeting or hello and we had to figure out ordering and drinks ourselves. Nice looking restaurant and fun location. Tonkatsu ramen was so full of pepper we couldn’t eat it. Fried chicken appetizer was delicious!

The food is SO good. They offer ramen bowls that can be modified to your preference. This is a big win to personalize your meal. Also, the seating has tall booths so you feel a sense of privacy. Great date night spot without breaking the bank.

I LOVED the vibe of this place. Very cute set up. The service was quick. We got an appetizer and ramen and got everything within about 6 minutes. The broth was good and flavorful.

Quick service ramen spot with an upscale vibe. Loved the vibe as much as the menu! There is something for everyone and the menu is clearly marked with dietary restrictions and allergens. Easy for vegetarians and vegans to find something to enjoy! Loved the vegan miso ramen with tofu as well as the tofu bao bun. Others in our party enjoyed their food—from Japanese fried chicken, pork egg rolls to crispy Brussels sprouts. Everyone left happy!

Such a cute space with great vibes! I loved all the wood and greenery inside—it made for a really cozy atmosphere. The ramen was decent, and ordering on the kiosks was super easy. Service was on point, too. Definitely a nice spot to visit!

I love CO-OP. It’s almost always a weekly trip for my family of three. I love the staff and how kind they are, the decorations have traditional influences with modern art and associated mediums, and I think the atmosphere is very soothing.
Food wise there is a number of things that just hit so different. The pork chashu is literally melt in your mouth. If you get it in a bao, the pickled onion brings it to another level. The edamame is salt well and hit with good citrus tang. The crispy brussel sprout are awesome, almost addictive. Our mainstay is the Spicy Tori Paitan Ramen. Crispy seasoned chicken, earthy bean sprouts, and a broth that really brings it all together.

Loved this spot. Friendly and informative service. Ordering was so convenient. Food was absolutely delicious. The cucumbers were amazing and the pork bao buns are EXCEPTIONAL. Parking was hard though, but no fault to the business. I left happy and would definitely come back
