It already looked so cute from the outside, and when we walked in, we were even more surprised by how adorable it was. It really reminded me of the Japanese restaurants in Houston. They definitely did a great job with the decorations! When we looked at the menu, I noticed everything was really affordable--from the appetizers to the entrees and drinks. Our server was super sweet and attentive. She checked on us often and made sure we had everything we needed. I got myself some hot tea since I was sick. It was just a tea bag, but it was actually pretty good. I also noticed their sauce bottles and seasoning containers were really clean, which I always appreciate. This is what we got: * A8. Ika Maru Yaki: A whole grilled squid drizzled with their house sauce and marinade. I absolutely loved this one. $10 for a whole grilled squid is such a good deal! At festivals, you usually pay around $15 for half of one, and honestly, they don't even taste that good. Naruto did an amazing job with this dish. I just wish it had a little more char, but that's just my personal preference. * A12. Geso Fry: Crispy and delicious. I really liked the chili powder (I think) they sprinkled on top. * R11. Udon: This came with lots of vegetables, which I love, plus a poached egg, squid, shrimp, naruto, and two shrimp tempura. The poached egg was a little overcooked, but it wasn't a big deal. The broth was so good--it had sweetness from the vegetables and a nice seafood umami flavor. Definitely recommend trying this one. * D9. Gyu-don: My husband was excited to order this since it's one of his favorite dishes. The egg was cooked well, but he personally prefers a runnier yolk. Overall, it was still a decent bowl. Overall, we had a great experience. Especially for a small town like Monroe with a relatively small Asian community, I think it's amazing they're able to open a place like this and introduce more people to Asian cuisine. We'll definitely be back! read more

The ramen here is top notch. Some of the best I have had. I go here with my cohorts when we are on campus once a semester for our hybrid program. I have tried the miso soup as well as the milk tea, the Naruto fruit tea with popping mango bubbles, the chicken bun, the dumplings, and the shrimp balls. I loved everything but the shrimp balls. They were very very fishy. My friends love the scallion pancakes. The service here is always top-notch with a very clean environment. The decor is SO cute! read more

I haven't had ramen in a while and this did not disappoint. The place is nice and clean and service was great! Crab ragoons were recommended and they were fried just right to a crisp and nice flavorful cream cheese filling and a sweet sauce to dip it in. My beef ramen was so good. I added some chili sauce to mine that they conveniently have at the table. My husband loved his chicken katsu which was perfectly fried and had a great dipping sauce on the side that was sweet and tangy. Overall a great place to go for your ramen fix! read more

Had carryout. The food was delicious and you get a lot of it! No issues! Will be going back!

Our food came out very fast, was delicious. The decor was amazing! Perfect place to take an anime fan. It was also very clean. Our waiter was super sweet, seemed genuinely happy to work there. I wish I caught his name. If you like authentic Japanese food and anime, you'd love it here. read more

Ordered appetizers and saw they had kimchi. Being from Hawaii, I know we have the best kimchi until I had Naruto's kimchi, and that was the best kimchi I've had off the island. I've worked out in California and some spots came close and never thought that working in Louisiana, I'd find a ramen spot that would rival what I grew up on. To those that don't eat it, tried and not like it, or haven't tried, Naruto will have you wanting more!!! Had the kimchi ramen and it was great!! Definitely going back and trying all the other broths with a side of kimchi of course!!! Service, Great as well!!!! read more

The service was a bit lack luster. They told us to sit our selves then it seemed they forgot their own directions. However, whenever we were finally taken care of the food absolutely made up for it. Really delicious with a wide range of options. Really fun casual vibe as well inside. read more

Great food great Raman. and great service. I am a Ramen snob so just because you call it Raman, doesn't mean I'm gonna like it. When I absolutely did. This is my third visit and all three have been exceptional. read more

Looking up at the fish swimming beneath the docks, I felt like we were in a magical pond. It was opening day, so the place was only mostly packed. But give the word time to spread! The scent of curry broth made me wish there was a vegetarian curry ramen, but I was happy with my agedashi tofu (I should have asked for no bonito flakes, because they were very generous with those) and seaweed salad. The staff kindly held open both doors for us, which most wheelchair users will need. read more

The moment you walk in you're usually greeted and told to sit wherever you fancy. They don't swarm you, and allow you time to look over the abundant menu (which also has bubble teas!). The aroma fills your nose as soon as you walk in, and the taste is even better! The decor is very cutesy, and I love the anime they usually throw on for entertainment! It's a cute spot and would definitely recommend! You'll def see me there now and again read more

Service is excrement. Appetizers: egg roll and crab Rangoon WOW, the food is so good Salmon mentai Yoko soba, was amazing and so creamy with a hint of hot. So glad they are here, we'll be back. Delicious. Shrimp Yakisoba was fantastic. Ambiance is very authentic. Brilliant and new, make the trip you'll love, read more

This is a cool place with a welcoming vibe. Interior decor is well done. This being our first time, our waiter was very informative and helpful. Provided excellent service! The food was delicious and freshly prepared. The Spicy Udon was an excellent choice, but there are many other items that deserve trying. Yes, we will return. read more

The place is lovely, server was very informative and the shrimp noodles was awesome. Will be eating in next time. Try it you will love it.

I'm not big on ramen, but I decided to try this spot while I was in the area. I usually go for something brothless, so I ordered the Salmon Mentai Yaki Soba. When I tell you this was fire--I came back twice just for this meal. It was a little different the second time but still just as good. I wish I could have tried more dishes, but I was only in the area for three days for work. Bussin! read more

The food was good, but I'd only recommend it if you have an appetite for Asian cuisine. My favorite was definitely the teriyaki chicken rice bowl and the miso ramen. Everything came out quick and beautifully. The food was clearly well cooked and made. There was nothing necessarily wrong with the service, but it is very apparent that many of the servers either had very little or no experience in the restaurant industry. Our waitress never checked in on us to see if we needed anything (we needed napkins) and we were waiting for the check for a good minute after finishing our food. It wasn't until a seasoned employee saw us and asked if we needed anything that we were finally able to pay and leave. But the aesthetic and ambiance of the restaurant was top notch! The decorations and Naruto references were so fun and playful! I especially loved the decorations of the entrance. I will say, I enjoyed hearing the music from the show and other related songs because it really added to the overall "vibe." But the music was a little to loud to the point where it no longer sounded like background audio. Overall, it was good! I don't know if I would come back to eat by myself until these issues are addressed, but it is definitely a fun place to eat with a few friends (no more than a party of 4-5 because seating is pretty limited). read more

Ramen is good but tempura not so good. Service is amazing. Good ambience and very friendly.

Loved everything about this place!! The service was absolutely top notch, they did a wonderful job and went above and beyond. I hosted a birthday party with about 15 people here and they were so accommodating, rearranging tables, giving us plates and utensils for the cake we brought, etc. I was very happy to see a vegetarian ramen on the menu and it was actually good!! They have more space than it looks like in the photos online. Decorations were also really fun to look at, I loved the fish lanterns. The prices were also very reasonable. Can't wait to come back! read more
