Great and flavorful! We both got the kid size which was the perfect size for us to finish with no leftover. I appreciate the cashier recommending us that route as it was perfect with no food waste.
Best ramen in the area. We are from Southern California and we finally found a quality tonkatsu. This pork broth is one of the longer broths to make and you can tell they did it right. Great service, quick and happy to serve! They do not skimp on amount of food either. The price you pay here is great compared to west coast. Lots of thick pork, charred, and lots of noodles and toppings. High quality blended chili oil was also a surprise. We'll be back! I ordered Spicy #2 but I think a great order is to try the tonkatsu regular and the spicy #3, order the side of chili oil! Thanks team! Very good job
Miso Ramen is easily my favorite ramen spot in the Raleigh area and a place I've consistently enjoyed every time I've visited. The flavors here are rich and comforting, especially when it's cold outside. My go-to orders are the Spicy Tan Tan and the Tonkotsu, both of which are packed with flavor and always hit the spot. The broth is satisfying, the noodles are well-cooked, and it's exactly the kind of meal you crave on a chilly day. This would have been a five-star review for me in the past, but I've knocked it down slightly because the prices have been creeping up. It's starting to feel a bit steep for what used to be an easy, go-to lunch spot, even though the quality is still there. That said, the food itself remains excellent, and I'll absolutely continue coming back, just a little less often for lunch than I used to. Food comes very quickly but very limited seating so keep that in mind if going during peak dining hours. Still a top-tier ramen option in Raleigh.
I came in on a cooler day, notable because this place is fairly small inside but has outdoor seating. It was starting to fill up, but I still got an indoor bar-style seat. They have a small menu like most ramen places, but there was a vegetarian special in addition to the standing option that I came for. I stuck with what is apparently their classic. Their curry ramen was fantastic, with a brightly colored mix of vegetables and a excellent broth that really popped with a squeeze of lime. They use noodles with kale in them, which are green enough and bitter enough to know you're getting some kale but which complement the other ingredients well. So there is a ton of actual vegetable in this veggie ramen (and some tofu so you're getting some protein). I ordered some tea and let it steep a bit too long, but it was good quality loose leaf tea. They had mochi and some appetizers as well.
We stopped by to grab a bite to eat around noon. David took our order and was super friendly and patient. He talked us through some options, including a spicy tomato base for the vegan ramen, which wasn't on the menu. It was delightful! Both ramen bowls we ordered were packed with goodies (mushrooms, baby bok choy, corn, scallions, etc). We even had probably 1.5 times the amount of ramen that normally comes in bowls this size. By the end of the meal, we were stuffed. Oh yeah, when David saw our son sharing some ramen with us, he brought us out another bowl and chopsticks for him. Class act. We ate outside because the weather was perfect, and the outdoor eating area is large and had some bangers playing on the radio. All around it was a great dining experience.
Just went today and can't wait to go back! Probably the best food I've seen in the most unassuming location. Smaller inside area and order counter but plenty of seating on the tented patio. The man working the counter was doing it all but still friendly and joked with our toddler. We got the spicy tan tan and chicken curry along with dumplings and edamame. I'd recommend all of it. The depth of flavor in the dishes from such a small kitchen is amazing. I don't think we will make it a week without going back for more. Only warning would be to dress accordingly for slurping ramen.
I have driven by this restaurant multiple times over the last few months. I finally decided to stop and try it out. Miso Ramen Bar is a great spot. The staff is friendly, the food is delicious and the vibe is chill. I'm going to be honest and share that it took me a little bit to choose a menu item to try. I landed on the Miso Ramen. The broth has a strong, miso flavor that is completed with ramen, of course, a boiled egg, mushrooms, chicken and additional veggies. The meal is enough to split over two days, which is exactly what I did.
Very nice location, everyone was so nice and we were seated quickly. We were in the area and stopped by for lunch. I ordered the Tonkotsu and it took a while, so I was a little disappointed that my brother was lukewarm. Other ramen spots also have a variety of add ons; like wonton skins, fish cake etc. they offer none of that. In the end, I would go back again, but maybe try a rice dish.
If you want to pay for just the food--not service, presentation, or vibe--this is your place! The ramen noodles are solid: good texture, big portions, and fresh flavors. Presentation-wise, there isn't much distinction among the different bowls since most come with similar toppings. Our favorite was the spicy tomato miso--it had the most depth of flavor and is probably the one we'd come back for (the miso ramen was also good). The tan tan noodles were less complex than versions I've had elsewhere. Not very spicy, but definitely ask for their homemade chili sauce!! It's fantastic and truly has a kick to it. Service was very friendly, even though it's more of a "do it yourself" style. We sat outside at a picnic table, which had its own casual charm. The inside is small and intimate, and I can imagine it gets packed once the weather turns colder.
I love this place so much. The place has such high quality, delicious food for such a casual feel. The prices are fair and the servers/staff are extremely attentive.
I haven't been here since the lockdown, and I was delighted when a friend suggested this order-at-the-counter place for lunch today! Seating is still tight, but the covered patio was perfect on this warm February day. Cesar was wonderful! He thoroughly explained the menu, brought our chicken curry ramen and tonkatsu ramen quickly, and even brought me a fork without judging me (chopsticks and I don't get along). The ramen was still amazing, and the prices were reasonable. Next time, I don't plan to wait so long before going back!
Miso Ramen bar is a cool little spot. They provided great knowledgeable service and the food was good. I enjoyed the Curry chicken rice bowl. Full of flavor. The many textures in the dish made for a tasty and enjoyable meal. I recommend give them a try.

Their outside area is adorable and great and glad they have self serve water stations! The food is priced well and comes out quickly. I got the chicken rice bowl and their ramen. I was a little thrown off that the ramen was a creamy kind of broth though and I will definitely say the pork belly wasn't cooked to my standards as it was not the kind of pork belly that melts in your mouth, nor was it crispy/charred. I personally didn't even eat it due to that. The rice bowl I probably preferred more so. read more

Best Ramen in NC yet! After a long day of traveling we were in much need of ramen, we have been searching for great ramen since moving to NC. The Tonkatsu Ramen was amazing! The broth was rich, full of flavor, the Cha shu was cooked perfectly, nice color & amazing taste! We also had the veggie curry ramen which was such a delicious surprise! The curry broth had a coconut base, so much flavor!!!! The noodles were awesome, eggs cooked to the perfect consistency! read more

The husband and I shared a veggie curry ramen and some edamame. The ramen was delicious. I loved the coconut curry and veggies. The curry had some nice spice, but wasn't overpowering. The bok choy and edamame were fresh and crisp. Overall, very nice and we'd visit again for ramen. read more

Miso Ramen is pretty on par with other ramen places in the Triangle, such as Noodles Boulevard. The noodles are made pretty quickly- I got the chicken curry ramen which is my go to usually to have the sweetness of the curry balance out the saltiness. I did enjoy it but I do prefer broths on the lighter side. I would have preferred the chicken to be lighter in flavor to counter the broth as well as more vegetables. It is easy on the stomach but you'll probably be drinking a lot of water due to the broth intensity. I would only wish it was cheaper- $13 for a ramen is pretty steep around here! read more

Another great find for fresh take on Asian cuisine. Chicken rice bowl is so delicious. The pickled carrots and cucumbers are a great addition to the rice and chicken with fresh vegetables. The Ramen soup was good. But the pork belly fries were perfect accompaniment. read more
After having this place on my list for so long, I finally visited them. They have only one vegetarian ramen option, but it packs a punch. The vegetarian ramen is coconut curry ramen with kale noodles. It's so flavorful and the portion size is huge! I also got the seaweed salad and it was so fresh to have with the ramen. The broth is certainly flavorful, and they have 3 spice levels, 3 being the highest. I got my ramen at level 2 spice and I really enjoyed the heat without it overpowering the flavor of the ramen. They offer takeout and outdoor dining. I love how easy it is to find parking here. If you are looking for a good vegetarian ramen with a slight twist, this is a great spot to get your ramen fix. Also, it doesn't hurt that Kung Fu tea is right next door to Miso Ramen! I always combine my trips to both these places. read more

Wow!! I have tried Pho at different places, but haven't tried ramen soup. I was in the area for lunch and decided to try Ramen for a change . I walked in and advised the person behind the counter to guide me with my order because I was new to the Ramen experience, and he did so willingly . I ordered the vegetable curry and Boy oh boy!! This soup was very tasty!! And can I say delicious ! I Will be back to try more on the menu. The curry broth was smooth with just enough kick of spice. And you have the option to make it as spicy as you want. This place is a must try, if you love flavor.... check it out! read more

Absolutely amazing, will be back for more. Also wanted to mention that you can substitute which is great as someone who doesn't eat meat. Nice welcoming atmosphere as well. Love this place! read more
Excellent ramen spot. Exactly what you want in ramen; flavorful, aromatic broths, high quality vegetables, and perfectly chewy noodles. Portion sizes are great, worth the $12 price. I ordered the Spicy Tan Tan ramen, and it was spot on. Was it the best ramen I've ever had in my life? No, but it was pretty stinking close, and it was actually $4 cheaper, too. We also got the Takoyaki and the Pork Belly Buns. The Takoyaki was great, and the buns were superb! Overall, an awesome meal at an awesome price, considering how expensive Asian food is in the area. Would definitely recommend coming out. Service was fast and COVID safe, and there's a solid amount of outdoor seating with social distancing. All in all, if you're craving good ramen, it's definitely worth a trip over to Miso Ramen Bar! read more

Miso ramen has become an ESSENTIAL to my dinner rounds! I'm so happy to have this wonderful miso place close by to me. I've been here countless times and it has never disappointed. It's got fresh noodles, perfectly tender and good cooked pork, and you can't forget the soft cooked egg! Not only has the food met my standards and more the service has always been great. The gentleman who runs the ordering has always been kinda and helpful, they have people who pick up dirty dishes and they always check on you to make sure everything is great. Even with covid shut down they have take great precautions but haven't cut any corners on excellent experience. * All time favorite is the Miso! read more
Really great ramen here. The curry both was great. Lots of veggies also. I also got the beef skewers. Really good. The place is really nice and is in a great location. There are some really good ramen places in the area. Go here people and eat. read more

Delicious spot for ramen! It was yummy and super affordable. Wish I could have taken pictures of all that we ordered but we had already devoured them all by the time I remembered They also have places to sit outside & inside. Everyone of the staff members were pleasant and even asked how our food was (which was honestly nice). I notice a lot of people were coming in to pick up their orders so I'm guessing they allow you to pay online and pick it up inside. They also seem to be practicing social distancing inside which is super considerate. Overall, this place is delicious and a must go if you're craving ramen. Will come back & take more pictures next time read more
Omg we've been waiting to eat here since they opened.. I have no clue how we waited so long, as I'm a regular at Kungfu Tea right next doors and always see this place buzzing.. My husband always wanted to eat hot Ramen in the their outdoor seating area (but we couldn't do that because their heaters ran out of gas) getting to the point- the food was amazing, we got the pork belly buns, I got the Tonkotsu Ramen (I didn't know the spice levels so I had to ask for spicy sauce on the side for mine) but my Husband got the spicy tan tan (ground pork) and love love loved it !! Their portions are huge and we took almost half of each to go too read more

What's better than hot yummy ramen on a cold rainy day?! Keep in mind, we did takeover so the experience is a bit different. Online ordering was fast and super easy. We ordered the Takoyaki as an appetizer. The dried bonito flakes had dissolved by the time we got home, but the flavor was there still. Soft on the inside, flavorful and devoured within minutes. Highly recommend. Now for the main event - the ramen! We ordered the Tonkotsu and Miso ramen. The noodles were packed with all the fixings - Chasu, egg, veges, etc. The broth was packaged separately. I highly recommend putting everything in a bigger bowl when you get home because they packed it to the rim. (Not complaining about that!) We preferred the Tonskotsu broth. It was creamy, a bit spicy (we added some chili oil), and simply delicious. The real test though is the egg! It was perfectly soft boiled. Enough said. We will be back! read more

Ordered take out and was not disappointed! The ramen is phenomenal and the bao buns were perfection! The broth for the ramen was nice and creamy and packed with flavor. Stuck to the noodles well and was perfectly balanced. I'm also in love with the beef skewers and bao buns. Everything about my meal was absolute perfection! read more

The flavor was there. The vegetable toppings added nice texture, while the eggs were cooked just right. I had the tonkotsu ramen. It was rich, generous in toppings, and filling. I enjoyed it, but I feel there was something missing. I can't specifically point it out since I don't make ramen, but I've had many. If this is the best ramen in town, then that's fine. I will definitely come back. And I'm happy that there is a good standard for potential competitors. read more

This place is SO good. When I get ramen I usually get the spicy tan tan. But my favorite thing there are the pork belly fries. These things are stupid good. We go just to eat these fries! This last time we got beef and chicken skewers along with the fries, and some edamame. Lots of food to split. It was all delicious. They have indoor seating, but also a nice shaded patio, and it's right next to Kung Fu Tea, so we like to grab a tea to have with our meal when we are eating outside :) read more
Hooray for a ramen bar down the street from my home! In the last few years, my husband and I had the crazy opportunity to visit Japan 5-6 times and we fell in love with the ramen and sushi bars! This place is good. I ordered the Miso Ramen, $12: bok choy, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, nori, scallions, char shu, and half of an Ajitsuke egg. The broth was a bit bland and the egg was overcooked, but the ramen was perfect and the toppings were good! I thought the portions were large. I only ate half my bowl, but my husband ate his bowl and the rest of mine! It's easy to walk in, order from the simple menu on the board, find a seat, and have your order delivered to the table. The person next to me ordered the curry ramen and it looked outstanding. I will have to try that one next time!! read more
This is a cute little ramen shop with mostly bar seating and a few tables. The menu is simple and short and you order at the counter. There is water and cucumber/lime water where you can serve yourself. They'll give you a number and bring you your ramen. We went late Saturday night and only a few other tables occupied. The ramen came out fast (~10 minutes). This is great ramen, the broth is flavorful but little too salty for me (but we all know ramen is a sodium bomb). They give the perfect ratio of veggies, noodles, and pork. The pork could be a little more tender, but still great. This is a good addition to the Asian eateries in the area. read more
I love Ramen. I love good Ramen. I love Ramen spots that are closer to me than those that are further away. This spot checks off all of those requirements for me. I was getting Kung Fu Tea (two doors down) one day and I noticed that a new Ramen place had opened up right next to it. I looked on yelp and realized that it had just recently opened up and that it had pretty good reviews, so I decided to go try it out. The place is small, roughly about 20 people worth of seats inside the shop, but it has outdoor seating on the side of the place, so it'll definitely be even more packed during the warmer months of the year. When you get inside, you go straight to the cashier table to order. Everything is written on a board that's displayed above the cashier. There's about 5-6 options for different Ramens and about 5-6 different options for appetizers. My girlfriend and I got Chicken Curry (Shoutout to Noodle Blvd) and the Tonkotsu Ramen. We also got an order of the Takoyaki (Fried Octopus Ball). The Takoyaki was delicious. A staple of Japanese street food on the famed Dotonburi Street in Osaka, Japan, if a restaurant says they have it, then I, have to order it. It wasn't piping hot though, which makes me think that they initially make it in batches and then keep it warm until someone orders some. But nonetheless, it had all the ingredients to make it extremely delicious. The Chicken Curry Ramen and the Tonkotsu were also great! To me, as long as the Curry Ramen has enough Curry flavor and isn't overly salty, it's usually really good. The Tonkotsu was also flavorful. I wouldn't say it has topped the best Tonkotsu Ramen I've tried in the states (Sheng Ramen in Charlotte), but it was still really really good. Overall, finding out that a good Ramen Bar opened up extremely close to where I live was amazing to see. Unfortunately, this probably means I'll be going to Noodle Blvd less since there's a good ramen place close by. I'll definitely be coming here more often and encourage everyone to come and try this place out. read more

Miso Ramen Bar is a great place for ramen and various small plates like takoyaki, pork belly buns, etc. When you walk in, you order your food and pay at the counter. You're given a number and you can pick where you want to sit, they'll bring the food out to you. What's great about ordering their ramen is you can order a spice level from 1-3(mild to xtreme spicy) but they can definitely add more spice if you wanted. COVID precautions: Everyone wears a face covering, they require their patrons to wear one before entering the building. There is tape on the ground to designate socially distanced spots when you stand in line to order. Certain spots on the bar seating are closed to socially distance. Outdoor seating is available for anyone who is more comfortable with that. After someone leaves, someone will immediately come clean and disinfect the area, which is pretty nice. The food is tasty! I love their miso and tantan ramen, level 2 spice and their pork belly buns are tender and saucy. What I like is right after eating, you can pop over to Kung Fu tea for some dessert bubble tea. Good place to stop by if you're in Cary next time. read more
There's a new ramen shop in town! Miso Ramen Bar just opened and they are located in the heart of Cary, where you will find the best Asian food in the Triangle. Their menu features a variety of ramen all priced from $11-$12 and they have appetizers and rice bowls as well. I got the Spicy Tan Tan ramen with added chashu pork and it was so good. Even though it wasn't spicy, the broth is awesome and the noodles as well as the meats are cooked to perfection. The bowl was $12 and an additional $3 for chashu which is so worth the price. And $12 for the ramen alone is extremely generous considering how much you get. Can't wait to make my way through the menu. Super cute space and great service too! Run, because this place is about to super popular. read more
Finally a decent ramen spot in the triangle. The last time I had ramen was in NC was over a year ago because I wasn't too fond of the options here, but now I have a go to spot. I ordered the Tonkotasu and it was delicious and really well balanced. It had a decent variety of ingredients, and the pork broth was super rich. The broth had the signature pork bone flavor and was fatty and slightly salty. The noodles were pretty good, and were slightly al dente, just like traditional Tonkotsu calls for. The other ingredients paired nicely, and tasted fresh! Overall the best Tonkotsu I've had in NC, and I'll be going back many more times!! Update 1/25: I've been here 3 times now and have tried Tonkotsu, Shoyu, Tantan, and chicken skewers. Everything was 100% on point. The Tantan especially was really good and the broth had a slight kick. read more

Ask the Community - Miso Ramen Bar
Does the broth either contain seafood or mushrooms?
They have various kinds of broth made with beef or pork. They may also use mushroom but I don't believe seafood. Always good to double check.
Do they have gluten free options - rice noodles?
Miso Ramen Bar now offers rice noodles as a gluten-free option. The kale noodles (while not gluten free) are a great choice if you want to make your bowl a little healthier!
