Found this place a couple of months ago, and I can't stop eating here. I love ramen and am very picky about the flavor, but this spot absolutely delivers. I usually order the chicken ramen with an egg, and it's consistently delicious every time. Even when I order it to go, everything is still fresh and hot by the time I get home. I've also tried the lava drops...they were good, but honestly not as good as the ramen. The ramen is definitely the star of the show here. If you're a ramen lover, this place is worth checking out! read more

Very cozy and unique ramen spot located in a strip mall. Plenty of parking outside. Staff was very friendly upon entering and food came out quick and hot. Very happy with our experience. read more

I don't usually try new places without yelping first - so this was a pleasant surprise. Stepped away in a little strip mall with plenty of parking. We walked in and were welcomed to sit wherever we liked and provided menus. They have sushi, ramen and hibachi - I was here for ramen! We stared with the Gyoza and it did not disappoint- I ordered spicy tonkatsu and DH had grilled beef in a chicken broth - both were excellent! They do have a bar with what looked like beer/wine, but it was lunch! I will be back for an adult beverage and more ramen!! read more

Can't speak to the ambience as I ordered delivery, but the ramen was very tasty and ready quickly. Service was fine (once again delivery). Thought the spicy tonkotsu was decent last time but the Korean ramen was really good this time! Would get the Korean ramen again! read more

I wanted som ramen, well I thought. Anyway I always want Asian food especially sushi and ramen. Came on good old faithful Yelp and this popped up and said the best in Tampa. They did not lie!!!! I will be driving from Riverview whenever I need a fix. I had the salmon taco, yum yum roll and the shrimp udon. First off the taco had a crunchie shell which I love. But it also had that Asian thang going on with the raw salmon, cucumber and rice...delicious. I dipped it in a nice wasabi/low sodium soy sauce and I wanted to slap yo mama! The yum yum roll is really flavorful. Trust me if you like shrimp you will love this roll. The flavors were bursting in my mouth and for the finale....the shrimp udon. Honestly I felt like I was eating a Japanese spaghetti with a creamy flavorful sauce. Omg it was so amazing. It had kimchi in it which gave it a slight tart flavor. So think salty and tart with a little sweet. Magical! The service wasn't bad either....ambiance 10! I give this place a 10... read more

My daughter & I were in the mood for Ramen & Hibachi so we decided to come check this place out since it's right around the corner from our house. Atmosphere of the restaurant is really cozy & serene, which would make for a great date night. The waiter was really nice & the service was really quick, only down side was I had to ask him to repeat himself a few times because he spoke so softly I could barely hear him. We started off with some Gyoza which were amazing, slightly crispy but still tender & flavorful! My daughter got the beef & shrimp Hibachi, while I got the black garlic Ramen. She really enjoyed the hibachi, she said the shrimp were cooked perfectly, the rice was fluffy & tasty, & the vegetables were done al dente & not overcooked & soggy. She did say the beef was cooked a bit longer than she prefers but she still ate it all. I loved the black garlic ramen, the pork was tender, the noodles were the perfect consistency, the broth was creamy & flavorful, & the soft boiled egg was perfect! This is definitely going to be one of our regular stops from now on! read more

We were looking for a soup and noodles place near by our hotel so we searched on Yelp and this place appeared. I wasn't sure how authentic it would be but, we entered the restaurant it transported to what felt like a Las Vegas restaurant... AMBIANCE: 10/10 Very modern with dark light setting and ambiance. I really enjoyed the vibe and in Florida we have ran into a lot of nice people... I would recommend coming here if you're in the mood for some simple ramen, udon and apps... KEEP IT UP MIKU RAMEN!!!!! read more

We were in the mood for ramen and Miku was a perfect choice. Dimitry was our server and he was pretty awesome and took great care of us. My husband's go to is Tonkotsu. He likes that it's a bit creamy for him. My choice was Black Garlic. The black garlic is so good and the flavor just cuts through. Both had pork broth and pork in it as well as the ramen fixings and our fave marinated egg which is like the cherry on top in a ramen. Super tasty ramen here. Really like the inside of the restaurant. And the bathrooms were very clean too. Will definitely come back to Miku Ramen. It was a winner through and through! read more

Found this place through yelp and I really enjoyed my experience! The inside is decorated very nicely. Small and intimate. The menu was straightforward with ramen, udon and appetizers. Tonkatsu Ramen: 5/5 Pork chashu with shredded pork in pork broth. Yum! Takoyaki: 5/5 Large, warm and just the right amount of octopus! Our server was kind, always refilling our waters and making sure we were well taken care of. I'll definitely be returning! read more

We did takeout from here and they were so helpful with recommendations since it was our first time here. The ramen was so delicious- spicy takotsu and black garlic. It also looked super cute inside to eat in! Will absolutely be back for more! read more

I really wanted to like Miku Ramen because it has all the makings of a great ramen spot: cute interior, small menu, kind service; the one thing it was missing for me during my visit, though, was good ramen. I started with the Lava Poppers, which were pretty good and a nice way to kick off a meal, but unfortunately as soon as my waitress brought my bowl over I knew something was wrong. From 5 feet away I could smell a strong, gamey, harsh pork smell that either indicated the meat used for the ramen (both the broth and sliced pork) had gone bad or was affected by boar taint. I really tried to push past the smell and enjoy what was visually a gorgeous bowl of ramen, but the smell and taste were very strong I had to just stop after a few bites. It's completely on me for not saying something to my server, but I'd had a very long and hard day and just didn't have it in me to complain, so I just asked for the rest to go, paid, and tossed it at home. The number of positive reviews for Miku Ramen leads me to believe this was just an off day for them, but honestly that was such a rough experience from both a taste and smell aspect (not the Lava Poppers, though!) that I cannot bring myself to give it one more shot. To the owners - please inquire with your meat distributor about their production methods! read more

M R has a bygo until the end of June so No 1 Fla. cousin, and kids decided to give it a try. For appetizers the four of us ordered lava poppers, and chicken wings with black garlic sauce, the lava poppers were very good, and the wings were nice, and crispy but needed some additional salt, and more sauce that, would have kicked them up a notch. No 1 cuz, and I both ordered the black garlic ramen, and the two kids ordered a spicy curry ramen, and a Tonkotsu ramen with shrimp instead of pork. Everyone was very happy with their ramen, bowls, I found the pork broth very rich, and complex with the umami flavor that you get from a well made ramen broth, noodles, and the rest of the bowl were on point, and satisfying. Cuz wondered if there is only two pieces of Chashu pork because she was looking for more... The restaurant is a nicely appointed with just enough light to give it an intimate atmosphere.... read more

First time visit to Miku Ramen on a Sunday afternoon. Charming location with a nice vibe and decor on the interior. Staff was super helpful in explaining the menu and very attentive throughout. I had the Mega Pork Ramen and it hit the spot. The broth had a great body that you want with a rich ramen and the the pork pieces and other vegetables and noodles just added to it. The gyoza were ok I had fairly typical nothing outstanding but did come out crispy which i appreciate read more

My kids love ramen and soupy noodle dishes. Back at home we try to find the best ramen around. This place popped up on yelp and since we are traveling we decided to see if it was worth it. It was! My kids loved all their bowls and slurped all their soup up. Appetizer: Takoyaki $8.95 (4/5) You get 6 of them. It was perfectly cooked, not mushy in the middle and came out Kids Ramen $7.95 (4/5) Must be under 12 and you can choose your choice of beef, chicken, or pork. My son wanted beef but I would not get beef, it was super chewy and big strips, and my husband ended up eating it since it was hard to chew so make sure you chose your protein wisely. The pros is this bowl is quite large and comes with a lot so $7.95 is a really good deal. I think it's the same size bowl but it's just chicken broth so... Tonkatsu Ramen $14.95 (4/5) The soup was rich pork taste and came with 2 thin slices of pork chased, seaweed, a really nicely seasoned half boiled egg, bamboo, kikurage, and scallion. The noodles were soft and had a slight chew. Broth wasn't too salty which is good. Spicy Tonkatsu Ramen $15.95 (4/5) This comes with the same as above but spicier. I don't normally eat too much spice but this one hit the sweet spot. Not too spicy where I'm dying and sweating in my bowl while eating but got a good enough kick to satisfy that spice crave. So IMO spice level is low. Adults got some hot sake and the kids got lychee and melon ramune to wash down all the yumminess. We came for dinner, and it looks like they have other lunch specials as well as sushi rolls and hibachi. The service was great and the bowls were was really delicious! We would come back again next time we're in town. read more

We have been trying to find a good Ramen place forever and this restaurant is definitely number one! The inside has great ambience and is perfect for an intimate dinner. Definitely has a cute vibe. We came at 7 PM on a Saturday and luckily there was one table for two available otherwise the place was packed. We started off with the lava poppers and ginger salad. Both were super good, the ginger salad was definitely delicious. They have a ton of other appetizers on the menu that we wanna try. We had the black garlic Ramen, which had so much flavor and the noodles were perfect. And then we had another type of Ramen that I'm forgetting, but it was one of the specials and it was also super good and was just the perfect amount of spicy. They also had a two for one Ramen special going on during the month of June, but even then I feel like for what we got the place was recently priced We can't wait to make this our regular Ramen joint! read more

The ambiance is nice. Very comfortable and casual. We started with the gyoza which was good, not the most memorable. All the drinks are served in glass or ceramic cups which I appreciate. I ordered the grilled beef ramen. Id give it a 6/10. The broth is flavorful, however i had soooooooo many noodles. The grilled beef had good flavor but was a little bit chewy. I would have liked more vegetables in the ramen but overall id come back for the korean style beef ramen. That broth was very good but since i didn't order it myself im unable to speak on the noodles to veggie ratio. The service was fine, they were pretty busy for a Thursday dining in and for take out so i know they are a local favorite. Im going to come back for the sushi soon. read more

Like so many other reviewers, I really, really wanted to love this place. Presentation is great, atmosphere is nice and the service is friendly. My daughter wanted a plain chicken ramen, I'm pretty sure she got a pork Ramen bowl. She ended up having an upset stomach the entire night. My Black Garlic Udon was tasty, however, the broth was super salty and did not have much depth of flavor. My boyfriend got the black garlic Ramen and it was just OK. For $18 a bowl you kind of expect more depth of flavor. Also, when I checked out, I clicked 15% tip and it ended up charging more than $15 tip on a $60 meal! $75+ for three mediocre bowls of Ramen is pretty shocking! read more

Got invited to go here by a friend, and so glad I went. The selection of ramen is great and the broth was delicious. We tried the trio of ramen bowl.

I'm a sucker for some good ramen & it's so hard to find any that is good enough to get you to come back... and well I found the place! Well I didn't quite find it, it found me through social media; however, I'm never letting go now! I mean I'm pretty serious about my ramen. When you get to this location, the outside isn't quite so appealing as it's in a strip mall and you can't see inside. However, when you walk inside you are completely transported to a Japanese oasis. From beautiful lightening to kind service-- it did not disappoint. One of the eye catching things that brought me here was the ramen flight. As it was $27 it fed me 3 times over the course of 3 days! And it was just as good warmed up the next day. My personal favorite on my flight was the curry ramen, as it was super flavorful and had the perfect amount of kick. I also got the miso (which lacked some flavor) and the traditional tonkotsu and it was alright as well. However, I will have dreams of the spicy curry ramen. My friend got hibachi and it had great flavor! The fried rice was a little bit dry, but over all the meal was good. Lastly we started with an appetizer of crab wonton chips, which weren't as expected but still really tasty. read more

I ordered a chicken ramen and the chicken was tough and the broth had no flavor. Never again

This place was such a pleasant surprise! We spontaneously dropped by and as soon as we entered, the ambiance was so gorgeous and elegant. The service was wonderful as well. My partner and I ordered three appetizers to try - JB sushi roll, Japanese bagel bites (from the temporary menu), and pork gyozas. They were allll delicious, my favorite was the Japanese bagel bites, I loved the crunch and the mix of smoked salmon + cream cheese. For our entrees, I ordered the hibachi chicken that came with white rice. Typically for hibachi it comes with fried rice not white, but to get fried rice it was a $3 up charge and as someone who is a big hibachi lover, I thought that was a little odd. The hibachi was good, but it was not many pieces of chicken, and a lottt of vegetables (which wasn't specified on the menu) the chicken was also just a little chewy for my taste. I had my leftovers the next day and I liked it even better! My boyfriend ordered a spicy ramen which he really enjoyed, the only thing he said was that there was 0 spiciness in the ramen, so they possibly gave him the wrong ramen? Unsure but he still loved it. I would definitely come back and we were happy with our choice to try Miku Ramen! read more

Let me tell y'all something.....I lived in Tokyo for 6 months and ate A LOT of ramen. A LOT. I am also from Chicago and have eaten my fair share of ramen there as well. All this to say.....I know authentic ramen. THIS IS PHENOMENAL and AUTHENTIC! They really should have 5 stars or at least 4-1/2. I read some of the less than stellar reviews and whole heartedly disagree. The review that stated the Black Garlic ramen (what I had and a personal favorite) lacked flavor was the polar opposite of mine. It was, without a doubt, the best Black Garlic ramen I've eaten since Japan and would best a lot of places there as well. The flavor was rich and complex. A feat that can only be achieved by a long process and patience to let the depth of flavor fully develop. Also had the cucumber avocado salad, Yuzu Cucumber on the menu, and it too was delicious and unique. I feel like I don't need to ever eat ramen anywhere else as this is nirvana and will be impossible to top. Richard was my server and his customer service/interaction was exemplary. Service and Ambiance also get 5 stars! read more

It's a great lunch spot. We were tempted to try the ramen flight they offer for $27 which is a good deal and you get to try three different ramens they offer. We enjoyed our crispy sweet Thai wings with an edamame appetizer. Our main entree was the Korean beef ramen and I must say WOW they give you a good portion of meat. Very filling dish and the service is pretty prompt here. We walked straight in and were seated in less than 3 minutes. Very cool decor also. read more

Great ramen and great service! I had the flight of Ramen where you could pick three out of six different types of Ramen. They have some other specialties that are not included in it, but I will try next time. I hope this place makes it. The atmosphere is very good. The service is very good. The only thing that didn't match the ambience and decor was they serve their water out of mason jars. I'm not sure where they get that idea from for a Japanese restaurant. It didn't seem to fit. they did a steady stream of business. We look forward to going back again with some friends. read more

This is an unassuming place in a strip mall I drive by all the time. I wouldn't have noticed it but my boyfriend saw a review and suggested we go. The best thing about this place is the ambiance. The decor is cool and has a nice intimate feel. There weren't many diners in house besides us, but they were pumping out to-go orders like no other. Our service was quick and friendly. We had some nice sake and the ramens were good, not great. If you have a craving you are looking to satiate then why not stop by. 7/10 read more

Okay- I've wanted to go here for some time. Server got my meal wrong but okay. Overall- the ramen was good- not great. I think they need to increase their meat portions because I got beef and my wife got pork. She had 3 thin round cuts and I had maybe 6 pieces of steak in mine. The place was decorated nicely for a small place. Had a great vibe. Kasuki in Bellaire bluffs is better for udon and overall, this place is okay but not as great as Kasuki. read more

This is a small place. We came on a weeknight and it was very busy and loud. We were seated after a few minutes with nowhere to wait and the hostess took our drink and appetizer order. We ordered gyoza and waited. And waited. We waited at least twenty minutes before deciding to leave. As we were leaving, dinner order still not taken by the way, our drinks came. We declined them and canceled the gyoza order and left. We never were greeted by a server. I am not inclined to try them again. read more

Food was terrible. The place is cute and our server was really nice. However, The edamame was old, soft & soggy.. The Ramen tasted like perfume. The pork belly was like a raw piece of bacon.
