Whether it's just the two of us or with a group, there have been no complaints on our end. Let's see how this visit went. We were seated once we walked in. Just like before, the decor was set up perfectly and each customer was taken care of by the wonderful staff making sure everyone was comfortable. No problems here at all. For the selections, we had pan-fried pork gyoza and I had chicken Katsudon for my entree (Sophia had her usual, chicken Katsu Ramen). Everything delivered was on point. Well-cooked and tasted great. I do wish I could add more, but when you eat regular dishes, there's nothing more to say. Thank you again Tanpopo Ramen for making Sophia and myself satisfied. Keep it up :)

I appreciated the simplicity of this place in that regard , the broth really talked for itself. Im not a fan of miso so I wasnt exactly sure if id like it, but like I said, best ramen ive ever had . Ive never had a good ramen egg either, sometimes they're just too egg-y or mucus like for lack of a better descriptor, I actually ate this ramen egg. It didnt taste like egg and had a very nice jello like texture, will be going back next time im in the area to try the katsu . Service was also very prompt & attentive. I was sat right away, I had my food within 10 minutes even though the place was a little busy since it was dinner time on a Saturday night, and the server was very nice. **Ramen excluded the nori**

Sophia and I had dinner here on Wednesday at this little spot in our neck of the woods. This visit…read morewas actually our 2nd one here with the first happening many years ago when it was Kappo Nara Ramen before this business opened up in 2023. Let's see how things turned out. We met up with a friend of mine again for dinner and were greeted by staff while seated. Inside, they have artwork dedicated to anime. They also had anime playing on the TV and K-Pop playing on the speakers. The decor is spotless and will have fans feel right at home. For the food, here's the following: -Age Tofu. This appetizer was delicious. Cooked perfectly and the sauce really helped with each bite. We've had this at other establishments so it just as good. -Sweet Heart Roll. This main dish really delivered. It's been a minute since I ate sushi and I was very pleased with this one. The raw spicy salmon and tuna along with crab were enough protein to go with avocado and crunch wrapped with soy paper. The presentation alone was perfect. Great with every bite. A great decision to dine here for all of us. You know this will not be the last time we stop by. Till next time :)

We tried several things at Nori Nori--spicy miso ramen, vegetarian ramen, pork katsu ramen, and a…read morespicy tuna roll. The spicy miso was probably the winner among the ramen bowls, with the most developed flavor. The vegetarian ramen was a little mild for us, although some chili oil helped. The pork katsu itself was excellent--crispy and flavorful and served on the side--but the ramen broth also could have used a little more depth. The surprise winner was the spicy tuna roll. I really liked it and would absolutely come back to try more of their sushi. Service was really good. One warning: bring a jacket! It was absolutely freezing inside on a hot summer evening. Our server even mentioned that she had turned the air down, but it stayed cold. Overall, some hits and misses with the ramen, but good service, excellent katsu, and sushi good enough that I'd definitely return to explore more of that side of the menu.

There's paid street meter parking outside the restaurant. We went during weekday dinner time which I am glad. I don't want to think about where else we should have parked otherwise during busier times/semester. The service here is incredibly slow. We were seated in front of the register with 3 people working the floors and only us being the diners, too. Food tasted ok. Broth was lukewarm/tepid due to the ice cold toppings added straight out of the fridge. The chashu tasted great. Noodles were nice and chewy. Too bad I felt like I was eating out of a bowl of spit. I think I prefer going to the Chesapeake or VB locations. This location is not worth paying for parking and be frustrated waiting for everything including receiving utensils and checks.

Definitely come with friends and enjoy some good beers with order of gyoza and the amazing ramen selection. For my military folks in the area , they are quick with the orders so nice place to swing by during lunch and make it back before Chief yells at you. My biggest regret about transferring from area is that Misako has set such a high bar for me that no other ramen can match it however, If I am in the area I will be visiting with friends and enjoying that ramen! Bless you all.

The ramen came in a generous portion and was really satisfying! This was completely my own money, and I always like sharing my honest experience.

I ordered the spicy umami miso ramen with tofu, karaage, and a soft-boiled egg, and it was absolutely delicious--rich, comforting, and full of flavor. I'll admit I went a little overboard with the add-ons, but I was just too excited and couldn't resist. It's a hidden gem tucked into a shopping center and easy to miss from the main road, but there's plenty of parking and once you're inside it's much more spacious than it looks. The staff were friendly, service was quick, and everything came out fresh. Prices were very reasonable too, especially for the portion sizes and quality. There's also a wide menu beyond ramen, so I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more. Before leaving, I grabbed a brown sugar boba milk tea too. I was already full, so I saved it for later--but even then, it was still really good. Overall, a great first experience--I'll definitely be returning!

I ordered the miso soup, vegetable rolls, and the taco sushi. This was my first time trying taco sushi, and let me tell you... I don't think I've ever tasted something so good that it brought tears to my eyes! That taco sushi did exactly that. It was absolutely delicious and easily became the highlight of my meal.
