    Plenty of seating and plenty of room
    Jay W.

    The food: wonderful and plentiful. The atmosphere: cold, mainly because the place was so empty, of both people and charm. The staff: robotic. I mean, they have robots to bring your food to the table. It's a blast, to be honest! And did I mention how good the food is? It IS and you'll get plenty of it for the price. If you want a room full of customers, and modern decor, let that go for now. Go for the food and the robots!

    It's a pretty cool noodle place. You scan a QR code at the table, order and pay with your phone and a robot delivers food to your table. We thought the food is pretty good. The pork is very fatty and melts in your mouth and the egg was pretty ok. But you'll be disappointed if you are expecting the Japanese styled ramen. This is more like fusion Chinese and Japanese noodle. It's different and it's pretty good as long as you know what you are getting. I went there for bubble tea before and didn't know it was part of the restaurant. The bubble tea we had was ok today (hojicha). But the original milk tea one I had last time was pretty good. Overall, good place for noodle, just don't expect authentic Japanese ramen.

    What a fun concept, ramen delivered to you by a robot! Aside from the fact that the Black Garlic Ramen was not only tasty but served piping hot, the experience of ordering & dining here was pretty unique. Either ordering at the kiosk at the entrance or scanning the QR code at a table, the restaurant knows where to send KEENON, their food delivery robot. Choose from a menu of ramens, bowls, apps, bubble teas... it all gets sent to your table by KEENON. Super quick & simple process if you're looking for an easy in & out meal!

    Nama Noodle Bar just opened recently this month of October 2022 and while the menu isnt 100% ready just yet (with a few things like rice bowls and sandos coming soon) this new restaurant does seem promising. This is actually my first time to experience robotics service and it was actually pretty cool. When you enter you either order from the kiosk or from the QR code at your table. And then Keenon, the robot, delivers all your orders to you. There wasnt really a lot of people on our visit so service was quick. For our orders, we got the shrimp siu mai app which wasnt really the best but okay for a start. Then we got the garlic ramen and spicy miso. Both had good broth and noodles were cooked nicely. There was generous amounts of cha shu pork and I loved that each order already came with an egg which as nicely done. Ramens were still served in disposable bowls for now but Im looking forward to when they'll be ready to be served in actual dishes/bowls. And lastly, Nama Noodles shares a spot with Meow and Sip so obviously you can also order milkteas while youre here. Also, owner mentioned they'll have homemade gelatos soon too! Another something to look forward to!

    Ramen bowls

    Nothing to write about. Served food in disposable containers. Restaurant has a weird smell like it needs cleaning. if you want fast and relatively cheap food - you can go here. Patrons were mostly young ppl looking for cheap eats. We won't go back. Sorry.

    Finally came here with friends. Not sure if it's BYOB or not but brought beer, sake and wine anyway and had to go up to the counter to ask for plastic cups. The food was very reasonably priced. The robot waiter was something we had never seen in person as well, definitely different. The food was piping hot and very delicious. Did not try bubble tea not my thing but they seem to have many options. Will definitely return. Was the most economical meal I've had at a restaurant I years and well worth it. Only slight downside is if your need something you have to go find someone I'm pretty sure. Great concept.

    I can't say much for the quality of meat but the noodle dishes aside from that are great! And I'd eat the veggie spring rolls all day if I could.

    Best service, best ramen, delicious food, and beautiful ambiance. Absolutely loved our lunch out here.

    Creme Brûlée Bubble

    Was expecting more. The pork chasu seemed cooked too fast, not tender. The flavor of the broth is good but expected it to be more full bodied or thicker. Would've liked more mushroom. Bubble tea is really good though. The robot server is pretty cool too. Dimmed lighting, nice ambiance.

    Pho
    Crystal A.

    Hmmmmmmmmmm Food - To be honest I want to give 1 star for food taste and portion. I ordered a pho, horrible taste. Meatball texture like a rubber, too fatty and thick beef slices. I do not recommend pho in this restaurant. Portion was too little compared price. I ate 3 bites only and gave up. You better order a spice soup noodle than pho( FYI spicy sauce tastes was more like Chinese flavor than Japanese) Atmosphere - Half of restaurant lights were off, no heat, it was cold weather I wore a parka to eat. No music. Definitely need to improve. I give 3 stars because a local small business is struggling, I don't want to be harsh.

    This was my first time having authentic/traditional ramen. A friend and I went close to opening for lunch, and the space was very nice and open. The food was extremely good, and the cute little robot that gave us our items was adorable. I can't wait to go again with more friends.

    The osmanthus and jasmine tea

    I ordered the spicy miso ramen and the osmanthus oolong tea and it was so good. This is a quick easy no-contact needed restaurant. You can easily order and pay on your phone and a cute little robot will bring you the food. The ramen was very delicious, and they were extremely generous with the amount of meat that was given. Additionally the drink that I ordered was surprising delicious. Usually I find that getting bubble tea at restaurants leads to disappointment but the quality of the drink is comparable to actual bubble tea stores !! Definitely worth a visit and the price is super reasonable as well!

As far as the food goes, my husband and I both agree that it's good and worthy of a re-visit in the future however, it wasn't blow your socks off! I got the chicken ramen and I literally got two pieces of chicken in my ramen....i was definitely expecting more than that. My husband got the chicken chashu and he said it was a solid option. I want to be so clear that this five star review is based off of our fantastic server, Yosef. He was so friendly, so personable and an overall pleasant worker! He made conversation with us and made sure we had everything we needed to have the best experience. Nowadays, people are so unfriendly and just there to collect a check. JINYA, you are very lucky to have a worker of this nature! Thank you for making our dinner a great experience. We will gladly be back in the future to try another dish and hopefully get the same wonderful customer service.

    I wouldn't hold it against you if you eyed me with suspicion when I said:…read more "It's in a strip mall, next to an Applebee's but... it's great!" "It's my new favorite ramen joint. My last favorite was in a food court inside of a mall!" "It feels like it's the next evolution in the Tommy's Tavern-Tio Taco's takeover of high-quality spots all across our great state!" (But each statement is said, and meant, with sincerity.) It's large (high ceilings adding to the 'wow factor'). It has a great look and vibe. The entire staff are profusely positive. As for the ramen... the broth was chock-a-block with flavor and veggies and noodles and a whole array of goodies (black oil, crispy garlic nubs, creamy tofu, you name it). The Mrs. (who is the real connoisseur when it comes to ramen, I'm just a wannabe) thought the portion was a bit on the 'wimpy' side (for the price) but I was content. (We arrived at the tail-end of happy hour, so maybe I was a bit more forgiving since the bill wasn't as bad as it could've-would've been.)

    This place deserves all the hype and rightfully so…read more After a long day at Turtle Back Zoo, was feeling quite hungry and was told about this establishment. I thought why not. Walked in and I loved the place already. Very chill and relaxing ambiance. Staff was very friendly and quite a lot of seating. Went on a Sunday afternoon and there were plenty of seats. I don't live very close so I thought I'd order a few things on the menu to try a variety. Was glad I did. Started with the cucumber salad. Light. Refreshing and even has a little kick. I couldn't stop eating it! Ordered the braised pork belly Bao. Comes in orders of 2. Sooooooo flavorful and so worth it! Ordered the Short Rib Ramen and their Special Spicy Tonkotsu ramen. So much flavor in the broths. Very filling and the numerous flavors from the fresh onions, to the beautifully cooked pork belly and short rib, to the perfect soft boiled eggs. A+! Will most definitely be on my mind to stop by every time I'm in the area!

    Very tasty and authentic ramen with plenty of traditional and innovative options to sample…read more Get the fried chicken appetizer (whatever version it happens to be) as it is always very good. Last time it was miso soy glaze and was amazingly flavorful. I like both the short rib and wagyu ramen as they both have an extra level of richness above the already tasty standard ramens. Service is hit or miss and the on the minute reservation policy is a PITA.

In fact, if they were open now I might grab some breakfast. They are located outside of the main downtown in the plaza with Greenway. That's a good thing as downtown can be a logistical nightmare to park and grab a quick bite. Menya has a small, comfortable seating area. The menu is simple with a few delicious broth bases and a wider variety of noodle, protein or veggie ingredients. Service is quick and friendly, and you'll wonder how you got that bowl full of goodness in your tummy so quickly!

For lunch, I tried the shoyu ramen with a soft boiled egg and side of spicy oil. The broth was light and flavorful. The chashu was very tender and seared nicely. The shoyu came with straight noodles instead of wavy, but it was still good. The bowl had menma, as well as red and green onions. I enjoyed the bowl so much, we went back for dinner the same day. For dinner, I tried the shio ramen, which was basically the same thing, but with a sea salt tare instead of soy sauce. I also got wavy noodles this time and I definitely prefer the wavy noodles. Once again, it came with red and green onion, which i think is a bit overpowering. I would get just green onion next time. The family/couple sets seem to be a great deal. I would definitely return.
