The main dishes were just ok, specially for the price ($70+ for two appetizers, two entrées and two non alcoholic drinks). The Gyoza and Takoyaki were OUTSTANDING, I’m probably going back just for those two, that’s how much I enjoyed them.

Service was great the food was good but not the best ramen but good for the area. The egg was well cooked and that’s rare at most ramen locations. Staff was friendly and prompt. The only issue was the price. We ordered to ramen bowls, one with extra noodles, one soda one rice bowl and one large hot sake. The total with 10% tip was 80 dollars!!! No way what the food was worth that much.

Ordered the Kao Ramen Tonkotsu Broth with pork, green onion, seasoned egg, seaweed, bamboo, spinach, mushroom, garlic oil, level 3 spicy. Portion huge. The flavor was incredible! I can take heat and I thought the lever 3 wasn’t too spicy.
Service was good. Price point was fair.

Oh man. One of the best vegan ramens I’ve ever had. Even better than most I had in Japan. The kale noodles add so much flavor. I added an egg but the go green is vegan and gluten free! Highly recommend.

Came here because my wife wanted to get some ramen for dinner and it was the only option since asiatique next door was packed. We got seated pretty quickly since it wasn’t too busy but it only went downhill from there. The waitress brought some water and took our order. Food didn’t take too long to come out but the two ladies working the front desk were so unprofessional, singing the entire time to whatever song was playing and just overall talking louder than the large party that was in the restaurant(about 10 people). I could hardly hear anything my wife said to me the entire time and could barely enjoy my food with all the yelling and laughter coming from the staff. They came by a few times to ask how we were and if we needed anything which was nice but other than that they acted like they were at a concert with all the yelling. The food wasn’t very well seasoned and anything that wasn’t in the broth of ramen I got was ice cold, felt like it had been microwaved and then left to sit out for a while. The eggs in both mine and my wife’s were also ice cold although cooked fully. The chicken had no seasoning whatsoever. I would never recommend for anyone to come here unless you like hearing staff singing to their “favorite song” and cold ramen toppings.

I was dying for some ramen, and Kao Ramen did not disappoint! They had beef ramen as a new menu item, and it was perfection! I had level 2 spicy, but I think next time, I will move up to 3. Added a bottle of Sapporo, and I was one happy human. I hope this stays on the menu – everything else is delicious here, but this is my favorite so far.

Do not eat here. It was the most bland food I have ever tasted from a restaurant. EVER! I go to hundreds of restaurants and have never seen such a horrible food that I paid for being served.
I ordered 4 different types of ramen for my family and none had any taste, not just by me but everyone in my family agreed. The miso soup looked and tasted like plain water, not even a spec of miso in it.
I ordered tacoyaki… which came 5 balls… each had 95% batter and a piece sized of a dime as taco (octopus). I also ordered California roll…bland… a avocado salmon… which came a smear of avocado inside and salmon that was disgusting flavored placed on top.
NEVER EAT AT THIS PLACE also… way overpriced for what we ate… just go somewhere else.

I’ve been a few times. The service is quick and friendly and the food is great, but I wish they were more generous with the toppings. They only give you half an egg with an order of Ramen, you can afford to give me the whole egg!
The MaMa Ramen is good. The broth is made with Thai style spices and coconut milk.

Read the reviews before placing our order for delivery, sadly food did not live up to the hype – tonkotsu broth was super salty and very oily, had to down 2 glasses of water after eating, noodles have nice chew though (Silverlake ramen is 10x better!!). Karrage chicken bowl was a joke, 70% rice and itty bitty chicken pieces and why so cheap with the sauce, it would have helped to consume the overloaded rice. Edamame was good and portion is great for the price, everything else was overpriced, just not worth it with the portion and quality of food we got.

Very good service and, of course delicious food. They sat me down at a table where the parasol was not working and after I asked about the parasol, they told me it was broken. Before I could complain they offered me the very next table available with shade. It took about 10 minutes and there were other guests waiting too, but they followed through and sat me down at a shaded table ASAP then quickly brought my bowl of ramen soon after.
