Definitely the best Ramen spot in the IE that we’ve tried so far!
It’s been a while since we were last here but it’s about time I left a review. They seemed to have expanded their menu options and have added more appetizers and bowl options which is really nice!
We loved the appetizers – see photos! Large portion size for the price. We tried the same appetizer at another ramen place and the price was waaay more for basically 1/4 of this serving size and it was like eating microwaved food. So this exceeded our expectations. Nice and crispy on the outside and moist and flavorful on the inside.
The ramen was delicious!! The broth and toppings were perfect! For those who can’t handle spicy, their spicy (two scoops of red spice) could be a little too spicy. The chili oil could probably give you more flavor.
I usually get the creamy vegetarian ramen which comes with a decent amount of toppings and thick chunks of tofu, which is totally filling. I love how they have options for regular noodles and spinach noodles. I recently tried the truffle shoyu Ramen, which had a mushroom/soy base. I usually like things spicy but I decided to try this dish without extra spices. I think I liked the creamy vegetarian Ramen more due to the depth in the flavor of that Ramen base. I love how this place gives you a decent amount of toppings that already come with the Ramen aside from having to manually pay for each individual topping that you want into the Ramen. You can still add other toppings which cost around a dollar.
I think the price is reasonable for the portion size.
The staff here are friendly and provide prompt service. The place was definitely very clean and organized.

I’ve been coming to Ramen Koko for a few years now, and it’s consistently been one of my favorite spots for ramen. The broth is always rich and flavorful, the service is friendly and welcoming every time.
Lately, though, I’ve noticed a few occasions where the pork belly has been a bit mangled or unevenly cut. It’s a small detail, but something I hope the kitchen can tighten up, since the quality here has always been one of the reasons I keep coming back.
Overall, still a great place with excellent ramen — I just hope they bring the consistency back to their usual high standards!

The customer service is horrible tried this place two times because the food is good like really good but I will not be eating there again the waiters are horrible and the black waiter there is the worst. He acted like we were not even going to give a tip, he purposely put that we wanted extra hot on our food to the point we’re the food was not edible. The other server was good do but theirs two waiters that make this place unbearable. They don’t pay attention to you and they give you attitude. The food is great so I am not hating the restaurant I am hating the service. I feel bad for the owner I will not eat their again, but try maybe you guys get a different service the food is bomb

I came for lunch on a cold rainy day at around 1:45 pm. I for had forgotten that last calls around 1: 30pm. I don’t know if it was the owner or the cook but in seeing my disappointment he graciously allowed me, after they were already closed, to sit down and have a bowl of fresh ramen while he cleaned up the kitchen. It was awesome customer service and of course the ramen was delicious!

We typically love this place, but today was not the best service. On Google it says they close at 2pm and reopen at5, I totally get it. But we called around 1pm and no answer, so we showed up & the sign at the door said they will reopen at 5pm. Ok… I messaged on IG & someone replied at told me that it’s 6pm for reopen… ok we’ll be back. We got here at 6:25, I ordered the 1st of the 4 meals, he asks “what protein do I want” & i reply with “chicken”. We proceed to order the rest of the meals, when the guy tells me “oh we ran out of chicken”, we don’t eat pork (unless it’s bacon) & all the had was tofu… we don’t eat tofu. So we ordered the pork on the side, we’ll try it. My biggest complaint is this, you had ample time to resupply and go buy chicken before you reopen at 6, why not prepare? Poor management on food supply. My wife asked if she could sub the pork for an egg or two, “no you already have an egg with your bowl”… we know, she’d rather eat an extra egg than pork. This was for a Birthday celebration, we adjusted our lunch to dinner, the food is good (not knocking that). We even waited that extra hour… but you can’t simply restock your protein supply before you open? There is a Costco down the street that just opened, they have everything you need. I know they shop at smart and final, I see the big box of eggs from there on you’re counter. I think it’s time to have the family try other options, the norm ain’t as good as it used to be to be… & after a 45min wait (they said 25-30) we’ll see how it tastes
. I ordered extra noodles & spicy paste, my side of pork was also not there …. I had to drive back in the pouring rain. By the time I got back home my family was almost done eating, my food was cold. Looking at the staff (since I had time to observe) the guys in the back are very slow paced, food industry is fast paced, they have no sense of urgency… I really hope they turn it around, even though my food was cold and I made several trips there the food was good.

This nice little ramen spot in Highland is definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area! I went for a spicy tonkotsu ramen which I usually get. The broth was rich and savory and paired well with the thin noodles and soy sauce egg (my favorite part of any ramen bowl). The pork belly was not too fatty, and portioned well. One thing that could be worked on about the broth is that it’s a bit salty but not too overpowering. Spice level was perfect for my tastes as well. You can even get free ice cream for signing in on Yelp! Really great service and food. Really is a gem in Highland!

This ramen place is okay. They go a little heavy on the pepper, and it’s not super authentic, but it still tastes fine. In the summer, they give out free ice cream—you just have to ask for it.

Delicious. Amazing ramen. They have great flavor. And the decor is just the cherry on top. It’s very clean and the staff are very welcoming. A lot of people tend to struggle with customer service but not her. These guys are legit and are constantly checking up on us. Prices are definitely fair and I’m just glad we’ve found a tasty spot so close to the house. Can’t wait to go back. Just writing this review made my mouth water lol .

Great place, great food! The first time I went there it was to dine in and had an awesome experience. The second time was to go. It’s the kind of place that anything you get will taste good, no matter what you order. Very flavorful. All nicely packaged. Will be back many more times.
