    Arrived shortly after opening. 2/3 of the tables were already taken. Simple Ukiyo style paintings/mural. Very clean place. Food was very tasty. Good place for warm soup on a cold day. It was over 30 minutes between order and food arrival...

    Stopped in for an impromptu solo dinner and had a great experience. The host was very friendly, and even though there were a few parties ahead of me, I was seated in under five minutes, super efficient! My server was welcoming and attentive, and once I ordered, everything moved quickly. The tonkotsu ramen was outstanding & beautifully prepared and easily in my top five anywhere I've had it. The broth was rich, perfectly hot, and I loved that all the toppings were included and balanced so well together. Excellent food, friendly service, and I would absolutely return. Inside felt a little bit like a sports cocktail bar lots of bustle, the focus was less than the decor and much more on the food but this food speaks for itself and that's why you're there!

    Amazing service, amazing food, the bartender Wyndham was great and the drinks were really good we order 3 will definitely be coming back here soon!

    Despite a roughly 25-minute wait on a busy Friday night, the experience was absolutely worth it. The food was fresh, flavorful, and served piping hot. We ordered the spicy edamame, shoyu ramen, and chili garlic mazemen--each dish was delicious, hearty, and incredibly satisfying. The server was also very sweet and attentive, even though they were very busy!

    Chicken ramen

    Tried Miso Ramen and loved it. Great vibe, not cramped, and Alex was an amazing server--knew the menu and gave solid recommendations. Chicken ramen pictured and it was incredible. The broth was insanely flavorful, the egg was perfect, and the veggies tied everything together. Also had the chicken wings (huge, slightly sweet) and beef skewers both so goooood. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. The table next to us had the pork belly fries. I would definitely be getting that next I go back. They loved them. Hands down the best ramen I've had in the Triangle. 10/10.

    I discovered Miso Ramen Bar through Offline (the restaurant club), and it instantly went to the top of my list. I tried to go on my first day but the line was wrapped outside the door--which told me right away this was the spot for ramen. I decided to come back on a weekday when it was less busy, and I'm glad I did. The menu is small but well thought out, and I really appreciated the flexibility to swap out proteins. A lot of ramen spots lean heavily on pork, which I wasn't in the mood for, so being able to customize my bowl was a big plus. The flavor was absolutely amazing--rich, balanced, and comforting. Easily a 10/10 on the ramen. I sat at the bar, and the bartenders were very attentive and provided great service. That said, the place does get very busy and packed, so be prepared to wait--especially if it's chilly outside. Overall, the food and service were excellent, and I'll definitely be back. Shoutout to Offline for the recommendation--this one did not disappoint.

    Tonkotsu Ramen with chicken
    Natasha D.

    Phenomenal ramen. Super flavorful and full of depth. My husband had the Tonkatsu ramen and subbed the pork for chicken. The broth was so delicious. I had the Chili Garlic Mazemen noodles. They were really good. The sesame flavor came through and the spice level (spice level 2) was perfect. Enough spice to taste it but not so much it overpowered flavor. I would definitely come back and try some more items. The ambiance is a little lacking. It doesn't feel super inviting but the food definitely makes up for it. Service was good, wish they had physical menus instead of QR codes.

    The star of this show is not the service, it's not the variety of items, it's THE RAMEN. I could probably drop this to 3-4 stars because of how I felt with the service or the edamame, but the ramen blew me so far out of the water that it's easily a 5-star worthy restaurant. Let's start with the ramen. I ordered the Tonkatsu with a level 1 spice (You can choose up to 3) for a little kick on top of a classic pork broth. Every ingredient in this biowl of ramen complemented one another. Mise en place was practiced when they cooked up this bowl of ramen, as the presentation was BEAUTIFUL. The broth was creamy and full of punchy flavors bursting out of it, the soft-boiled eggs perfectly cooked to a creamy near-gelatin inside, and the pork belly was by far the best pork belly I've had in a bowl of ramen. It melts into your mouth as if it was made in a high-level barbecue restaurant and transported immediately into this bowl. 10/10. No issues with the ramen, this was the most stellar bowl of ramen I have ever had, and I've been to LOTS of ramen restaurants around the Southeast! When it comes to the downsides, they were so minimal I decided to negate them, but I'll bring them up anyways. I came in at an early time, and I understand from restaurant experience that it's hard to go the extra mile for every guest that comes in. I got my order taken pretty quickly, the waitress was friendly, and I got the check in a timely manner. The times that weren't my favorite were when my drink was empty for several minutes without offer of a refresh, and it wasn't a busy time when it came to how many guests were dining in. Nothing wrong with the base-level service, but nothing over the top to where it really stood out to me as great service. The second was the edamame, while the top and outer edges were piping hot, the edamame in the middle was quite cold, telling me the way it was reheated wasn't exactly ideal. Since they're just soybeans, it wont affect my 5-stars. I know this has been a long review, but bottom line, GO TO THIS RESTAURANT! If you love ramen, this ramen will love you back. That's a promise.

    Tonkotsu Ramen

    Broth was delicious and flavors were good overall! Pork, in my opinion, was very overcooked and fatty and noodles were clumped together so kind of hard to get a bite. Service was quite slow as well but it was a Friday night so definitely busy. The place itself is very cute and not a bad bowl of ramen, just not my favorite in the area.

    The food is delicious l. Friendly staff and great atmosphere. I love coming here and I can't wait to come back for comfort food.

    This is my friend's favorite restaurant so I was excited to try it. We got there at 5 on a Friday before it got busy. You can sit at the bar or grab a table. I was surprised at how busy the parking lot was (plenty of spaces, just lots of people that day). Our server was friendly and attentive. I got the pork belly buns (delicious with a little bit of kick) and the chicken curry ramen bowl. The ramen bowl is pretty large. I don't use chopsticks, so I was struggling a bit to dig into the noodles with the spoon, so eventually I gave up and asked for a fork (yes, I'm that person). The broth and chicken were very flavorful and I was full by the time I finished. Will definitely be back!

    Miso Ramen bar is undeniably delicious, and my son considers it his favorite ramen spot. Situated conveniently near Downtown Raleigh, the restaurant offers ample parking. I recommend arriving a bit early as there may be a short wait (reservations are not accepted), but there is bar seating available. Upon arrival, you can add your name to the waitlist, which is a nice touch. The restaurant is consistently busy, yet always well-maintained with clean facilities. The servers are knowledgeable about the menu and go the extra mile to ensure a welcoming experience. Whether dining with friends or adults, everyone can find something appetizing on the menu. Here is what we order on our most recent visit: Karage Wings $12 Pork Belly Buns (2) $9 Kids Miso Ramen with Chicken and Eggs Grilled Chicken Rice Bowl $12 The food was delicious overall, and I particularly enjoyed the wings and the pork belly bun. A tip to keep in mind: it's best to finish the wings while you're at the restaurant. If you have any leftovers and take them home, they don't reheat well.

    Delicious!! This was…read moremy first time having ramen, and my friend suggested we go here, and I'm so glad we did! Noodle Blvd is located in a spot that you could easily miss, but it's easy to get back on track. I pulled into the gas station parking lot beside the restaurant, then just turned right into the restaurant parking lot. The parking lot is fairly small, so be warned about that. My friend was there when I arrived, and he sat at the bar. When I walked in the door, I was greeted with smiles and waves. It was very inviting, which is fitting for a ramen restaurant. My friend ordered us Lychee Margaritas, and oh my goodness, it was so good! We decided to visit right at opening on a Saturday, so the bartender was still preparing some of the ingredients needed for the margarita. The bartender informed us that it's usually better once a key ingredient sits for a while, but I loved the drink regardless. I ordered edamame for an appetizer, which came quickly and was good! Since I've never had ramen before, I asked our server what he recommended, and he told me about some of their most popular dishes. He told me the N9. Chicken Curry Ramen was a favorite of his and the patrons, so I decided to order that. It came quickly, and I was immediately in HEAVEN upon my first bite. I loved every bite after! I decided to play it safe with the spice and got level 2, but I can definitely go up a level or 2 since I love spicy. Highly recommend, and I will be back! Worth the drive from Clayton, where I live.

The broth was rich and balanced, the pork was tender, and the toppings--bok choy, beansprouts, bamboo, onions, nori, and that perfectly seasoned egg--brought everything together beautifully. I did ask them to cut the meat up but they were "not able" to accommodate that request. Every bite felt warm, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared. The service was friendly and efficient, and the overall vibe of the place is fun and energetic. The music was a bit louder than I prefer, but it didn't take away from how good the food was. If you're craving a great bowl of ramen in a lively atmosphere, Noodle Boulevard is absolutely worth the stop.

The shredded chicken was tender and generously portioned, and the soft-boiled egg was cooked perfectly with a rich, jammy yolk. A friend ordered the Spicy Tan Tan, and I tried a few bites. Flavor-wise, it was excellent -- rich, bold, and deeply savory -- but it was extremely spicy. Definitely delicious, just something to be aware of if you're sensitive to heat. We also shared a hand roll, which was a great addition. Fresh, well made, and nicely balanced, with good quality fish and seasoned rice. A solid bite to have alongside the ramen. Overall, everything was filling and genuinely delicious. Ingredients tasted fresh, portions were generous, and the flavors were thoughtfully done.

We had the spicy miso ramen that sported a lot of chicken and a delicious broth. Very bold yet balanced flavors. As for the three hand roll set that we ordered we found out we are not real fans of hand rolls. I should have looked up what makes a hand roll a hand roll. (It's the nori, the seaweed wrapper, that sets it apart in the world of sushi.) The salmon, yellowfin tuna, and crab were so fresh that they tasted fishy to us. Again, I believe it's user error that this dish didn't fly with us. We used the soy sauce mixed with wasabi to disguise the fishy taste. Lesson learned.

It's located in downtown Raleigh on Fayetteville Street, right next to the ABC 11 studios, easy to find and a great spot if you're already downtown. The ambiance is great and fits the food well. There's a nice mix of seating, tables along the windows looking out onto the street, high top tables, traditional dining tables, and a sushi bar if you want to sit up close and watch everything being made. It feels lively without being loud, and works well whether you're there for a date night or a more casual meal. We started with the Aburi appetizer, torched salmon belly, ooba, salmon roe, Japanese seabream, yuzu kosho, and ponzu, and it was outstanding. Everything worked together perfectly, rich, bright, and balanced. I also ordered ikura and ebi, even though I meant to order ama ebi, but no regrets there. Still excellent. We shared the Poke Roll with wakame, avocado, cucumber, mango, tuna, salmon, hamachi, and Sono poke sauce, and it was very good, fresh, flavorful, and well composed without being overdone. My wife ordered the spicy miso ramen and loved it. The broth was the star, deep and comforting, and the pork chashu pieces were massive, in a good way. I went with the chicken katsu curry, panko fried chicken thigh with house curry and koshihikari rice, something I haven't had since Little Tokyo in LA a few years ago, and it tasted like home. Comforting, familiar, and exactly what I was hoping for. For drinks, I ordered the "SONO? SO-YES!" entirely because of the name, but also because I love blood orange. Casamigos Blanco tequila, Cointreau, lime juice, coconut cream, simple syrup, and blood orange juice, it was excellent. My only complaint is that I wanted more of it. My wife got the Okinawa Spritz, a play on an Aperol spritz with passionfruit, and it was even better than the original. We finished with the yuzu cheesecake. I debated between that and the ube cheesecake, but since this is a Japanese restaurant, yuzu felt right, and it absolutely delivered. Overall, everything from the food to the drinks hit. This is a place I would happily return to, and honestly, I'm already looking forward to the next visit.
