Ramen Kumamoto is hands-down one of my family’s favorite restaurants. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The bathrooms are always well-maintained. The food is always delicious! We have never had a single complaint and we’ve been coming here for years! Today, we stopped in for lunch and ordered the following:
Karaage Chicken: The chicken was piping hot, crispy on the outside, and juicy on the inside. The dipping sauce was a mixture of Sriracha and kewpie mayo. It was so good!
Pork Gyoza: These are cooked perfectly. Nicely caramelized on one side. The dough is very tender and the filling is succulent and juicy.
Takoyaki: The Takoyaki has a wonderful sauce drizzled over it and a generous amount of bento flakes on top. I would prefer the takoyaki to be a tad crisper, but my daughter says I’m crazy.
Charshu Onigiri: The rice was well flavored and tender. This is my youngest daughter’s favorite appetizer.
Gyudon: This is my wife’s favorite dish. She said it has a great flavor and the beef is cooked perfectly.
Pork Shoyu: The pork in this dish is perfectly cooked. It was moist and tender. The broth was very flavorful as well.
Chicken Tan Tan: This is my personal favorite! The broth has a very deep miso flavor and a bit of spice. The ground chicken on top is flavored nicely as well.
Pork Katsudon: This is our other daughter’s favorite dish. Again, the pork is perfectly cooked, tender, and moist.
In the photos you will see that everyone added several eggs to their dishes. These things are addictive. They, too, were cooked perfectly. The yolks are nice and jammy. MMMmmMMMmm Yum! Another great tip is to ask for crispy garlic for the table. Sprinkle some of it over your dish and it takes it to a whole ‘nother level of flavortown! This is, by far, one of our favorite restaurants in the area. Stop by and I am sure you’ll love it too!

Solid spot. Great service and food was what I was expecting. Is it the best Ramen ever – no, but solid. I left full happy, service was good, it was priced accordingly, it was clean, I left happy. Would return. There’s a dope little ad on – the chicken Katsu curry bowl. It’s like $3 a steal. I think it’s only an ad on to another entre. I recommend it. No alcohol here fyi.

The Mayu ramen was excellent. The pork broth, the egg, the meat so tender, delicious. Service was precise, kind, and quick. The value is superb.

We tried the vegetarian miso ramen and mochi ice cream at one of the most recommended ramen spots in Newark, Delaware. While the place has a strong local reputation, the vegetarian miso ramen felt fairly average to us—perhaps because we’ve experienced more flavorful options at ramen places in other states. This was our first ramen experience in Newark, but based on what we had, we likely wouldn’t return.

Great ramen shop. Well worth the price tag. Cool ambiance if you choose to dine-in. The ordering process is a bit strange and the kiosk made me feel like I missed the opportunity to get something I might like more than what I ended up with. The food was delicious!

Best vegetarian ramen I’ve ever had. More options than any other place I’ve seen. Loved the vegetarian shoyu, can’t wait to come back and try more

I’ve been here a few times. In general, food was decent. A bit on the heavy side. I had the Beef Guydon this time. Beef wasn’t killed over 4 times which was a plus. It was tasty, a bit salty, on a bowl of rice. My wife ordered the Bibim Noodles. It’s like a cold noodles salad. Again, tasty but a bit heavy on the seasoning. The other couple ordered the Miso Raman and Katsu Curry Chicken. I didn’t try them but they looked ok. I also didn’t hear raving comments on them either. We ordered the Seaweed salad and the Takoyaki (fried squid ball) for appetizers. Seaweed was decent, just like any other places. The Takoyaki was disappointed. A big ball of dough with a tiny piece of squid inside. The dough feels under cooked and the squid should be bigger. Services was ok, no complaint.

This place is fantastic. I had the Miso Ramen, and it was absolutely among the best I’ve ever had. The space is clean, comfortable and fun—they even play anime and music videos on the TVs around the dining area.
The portions are large, so plan to stay a while or take the leftovers home. You’ll want them, especially on a cold fall/winter/spring day.

This is THE best ramen I’ve ever had. I when to UD and graduated in 2021 but still religiously visit to get ramen. The people are so kind, the food is so tasty & the prices are reasonable. They’re always consistent with taste & I’ve never had a bad experience here!!!
