Nomiya - The Kuro with black garlic - Ramen Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Best ramen spot in the city. Noodles are authentic and taste similar to what I've had in Japan. Cute decor inside with lively ambiance. Appreciate how the menu balances the perfect amount of options without being overwhelming. Ramen was served hot & fresh from the kitchen. Great quality of char siu (pork) as well in the ramen. Looking forward to trying the spicy ramen next time! Service was good for a busy night. Had a short wait but they accommodated us pretty quickly and food came out quickly as well. Great spot! read more

Very well decorated atmosphere, I felt like I was walking on the street of Japan. The ramen was so creamy and full of flavor. I love that we can add as much toppings as we want. The service was good. read more

Nomiya - Pork Tonkotsu and Geki-Kara - Ramen Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Overall, I think the food is good. I miss their previous location. I remember there being seasoning and oil on the tables. Now, it costs extra. I wish they had more broth options, but they do a great job at what they have to offer. Service is always friendly and there's plenty of outdoor seating if this inside gets crammed (an issue at the previous location) read more

I have been here multiple times and it is always top notch. It very well may be the best ramen in New Orleans. The pork tkontsu is delicious and has a rich flavorful broth, and the egg is always incredible. The ambiance is so cute with the hanging lamps and the services is always friendly and fast. Also the Yuzu lemonade was surprisingly good. read more

Nomiya - Noodle sign, super cool! - Ramen Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

It was 5 pm and after driving Lyft fares for seven hours straight on the Saturday after Halloween I felt like the walking dead and was in need of comforting. Then a voice in my head whispered Ramen and my life was saved. I used yelp to find ramen close to where I dropped and Nomiya on Magazine popped up and with good reviews flowering in my brain I drove there. Thankfully I got a decent place to street park and walked a short distance to the shop. The decor is colorful and the tables are spartan and clean. Service was Informative and quick. I would have a picture of the food but it smelled so good I dove in chopsticks first read more

Nomiya - Table area - Ramen Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

I heard about this place randomly from some lady at a Saints game. Don't know how we got on the subject of ramen, but she said hands down Nomiya was the best in the city. It's been on my to try list ever since and it did not disappoint. There's a nice little inside space as well as outdoor seating. Sat inside as it was pretty cold out. Started with the edamame. It's been a while since I've had edamame cold, but it was very refreshing with the yuzu. For the ramen I went with the geki-kara at half spice. I asked if it was really too hot at full spice and the waitress said yes try the half spice before you come try the full. She was right. I added bata and corn as well as extra noodles. It was very filling and full of flavor. If you get extra noodles you easily have enough for another full meal of leftovers. It was spicy, but kind of sneaks up on you. It didn't taste overly spicy the flavors were amazing, but half way through my lips were stinging a bit and had some runny eye runny nose situation. Maybe one day I'll get crazy and try the full spice, but I think I'll stick with half on my next visit as well. read more

Nomiya - Geki-Kara ramen - Ramen Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Nomiya has been on my to visit list for a long time!! Today was cold enough for my SO to agree to ramen so we decided to check it out. My SO ordered some edamame and I was a little surprised when it came out cold and with a sour punch, but a quick look at the menu told me it was supposed to be cold and it was served with salt and yuzu. For ramen I ordered the Geki-Kara "Too Spicy" half spice, and boy was I glad I got half spicy because it was spicy! I added some buttered corn and pickled greens. The broth was delicious and spicy, the pork tender, the greens tart and cooked down and the corn slightly sweet. The soy egg was bomb and I wish I had added another half egg! The decor is very colorful and fun! I can't wait to go back and eat some more ramen! read more

I finally paid a visit to Nomiya after years of passing it by on Magazine. I'm a huge Ramen fan and now that the weather is cooling down, it felt like the perfect time to go and see what the ramen was hitting on. It wasn't particularly busy on a Friday around 4:30pm so I was able to grab a table outside. There were a few others seated but service was quick, attentive and helpful. I was surprised how small the menu was but it also helped me to make a quick decision. I ordered the pulled pork bao and the "too spicy" ramen at half spice level with the corn, extra egg and pickled greens for toppings. The pork buns were really good and more filling than I was expecting. The ramen was yummy but was missing something that I couldn't put my finger on. It may have been the broth or maybe I'm just accustomed to other ramen shops. Overall, it was a pleasant experience but not my favorite. read more

Let start with the food. It looked like they shorten their menu by a lot. There are only 3 options for ramen with 2 appetizers: the pulled pork bao and edamame. The spicy ramen (full spice level) definitely hit the spicy craving I was having. It had a big chunk of meat inside that absorb a lot of the flavor. There weren't a lot of topping that came with the ramen itself beside meat, marinated egg, ginger, and scallions. They have other options as topping for an up charge, such as buttered corn($1.5), bamboo shoots($0.75), marinated egg($1.5) etc. I added the bamboo shoots and corn to mine without scallions. When the spicy ramen came out, it had about less than a tablespoon of corn with like 3 tablespoons of scallions. Alright, I understand the economy is bad and ingredients are hard to find, so the corn had to be $1.50. But damn you can't even give me at least 2 tablespoons or even a full size one? As for the scallions, I just assumed the server didn't hear me, so I picked it all out and placed on top of a napkin(there weren't any other plates around). Another server or an assistant manger came by and rudely said "ma'am you could've asked for without it." We did! That just ruin my experience. We already had another rude interactions when we had to ask for water cups at the beginning. The ambiance is cute though. It looked like someone painted the walls. There are about 3-4 booths on the side with more seatings on the opposite side. For the colder months, ramen are also good, because they have a few tables outside in the front patio. Overall, with their shorten menu, it doesn't put this place apart from other great ramen places like Union ramen and I Love Noods. This is my second time trying out Nomiya and it would be my last. I'm sorry but the rude service just out a bad taste in my mouth. I couldn't even enjoy the rest of the meal. Y'all used to have such good opinions too like a black garlic ramen and more boas options too. read more

Nomiya - Ramen Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

My first time trying legit ramen, and I enjoyed it! A friend took me, as it's one of his favorite places in NOLA. There was a little bit of a wait for two, but it didn't seem too long. The menu is almost exclusively pork broth and meat, so I had the vegetarian ramen. The vegetarian option was just fine, though, and so flavorful! I liked the quaint space in there, and the music added to the vibe. I would visit again, I just wish there were some more options for the folks that don't eat pork. read more

Nomiya - Vegetarian ramen - Ramen Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Service was amazing as soon as you walk in. The ambiance makes everything feel authentic and plenty of seating from outdoors to indoors. The menu options is limited compared to other ramen spots but it was good nonetheless. We tried the Kuro ramen which is more on the garlic side and if you're into spice, you can ask for the spice sauce on the side for an extra kick. The demon slayer sake is strong but goes well after a good meal. Left full and would go bag. Also, the location is on magazine so a nice stroll down the block would make for a perfect afternoon activity. read more

This is my first time here since they changed locations and it's definitely an upgrade. With outdoor seating in the front and back, it's great on a beautiful day. The menu is still super simple, 3 pork based ramen options with add ons available, pulled pork buns and edamame. A few drink options and beer/sake. The service is fast and friendly. The ramen noodles are perfect and the broth is nice and rich. I wish they had a few more ramen options and were a bit more helpful with service. I feel like they kind of want you in and out quickly. I also ordered the ginger Iced tea thinking it would be just ginger flavor but they use a super sweet syrup. It would have been nice to know, especially if you're sensitive to sugar. They couldn't substitute it so I just drowned it with ice water. Good place, hope they keep expanding the menu. read more

Nomiya - Kuro ramen, I sub the sliced pork for the shredded pork from the steam buns! - Ramen Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

The food was good! We got the ramen and pork buns. Both were delicious and good portions. The service was friendly. My only complaint would be the weird smell when we walked inside. I can't explain it except a chemical smell or something? There is outside seating but none available when we went. Not a deal breaker but something to be aware of. read more

Yesterday my friend and I were in need of a quick ramen fix. Nomiya always does the trick. We were seated immediately. The restaurant is small and quaint with little paper lanterns hanging over the tables. The ginger tea was so delicious as recommended by the waiter. We both ordered the Geki-Kara. I ordered mine "half" spicy while my friend ordered her spice on the side. I added takana (pickled mustard greens) and naruto (fish cakes). It was so good. The spice was perfect and I'm glad I listened to the waiter who didn't suggest going with the full spice unless you like extra hot food. I ordered my sister some to go and she enjoyed it as well. My only complaint would be that they only sell beer and sake. But this was an easy fix since we went next door to have a drink at the bar. read more

Crazy I didn't even notice I was here before but I'm pretty much same as last time. Their broth is great. Half spicy is definitely spicy enough to get ya sweating. The bun sucked and was dry and lacking flavor. Edamame was different, served cold and had a citrus flavor. It was interesting. I think their broth and noodles for kids is great but too pricey. read more

Nomiya - Ramen - Ramen Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Small ramen shop with few menu options. Three pork based noodle soups are available, along with option to customize with additional toppings, and two appetizers (bao buns, edamame) round out basically the entire menu. For non-pork eaters, a veggie ramen option is available if you ask. Waiter did state that if you want an egg that is also marinated in some sort of pork product. Veggie ramen was $14, toppings were served on the side. Overall was fine, definitely a bit salty. Tap water tasted a little off which made it harder to deal with the salty broth. read more

Nomiya - Off-menu veggie ramen - Ramen Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

The ramen over here was really good! I tried the Kuro ramen ($18.00), whereas my friends tried the Pork Tonkotsu ramen ($17.00) and the Geri-Kara "Too Spicy" ramen ($17.00). For the Kuro ramen, the broth had a very black garlicky taste to it, which is a great thing since that is how it's supposed to taste as said in the menu. My friends said that the Pork Tonkotsu ramen was good too and that the Geri-Kara ramen definitely lived up to its' name since it was very spicy to the point my friends had a bit of a hard time handling the spice! If you're a person who loves spicy foods, then the Geri-Kara "Too Spicy" ramen is definitely for you! For drinks, I got the Yuzu Lemonade ($4.50)... it was so good! It reminded me of a satsuma type of flavor, very enjoyable. The price is a bit expensive, but I'm not really surprised since it's located on Magazine Street where most places will be pricy. One advice that I would give to Nomiya is that they should make their ramen bigger because it seemed pretty small for a bowl that's almost $20.00. I honestly finished it quickly and wasn't as full as I'd thought I be from a bowl of ramen. As for the service, they were sufficient and good to my friends and I. The decor was really Japanese street inspired, which was very trendy and aesthetic! I wish I had taken photos of the place, but I guess everyone can see it from other photos too. Aside from the sizing issue, Nomiya is a good ramen spot to come to from time to time if you have enough in the budget. read more

Food and everything was super amazing but best part was our waitress Rebecca! she was so sweet and helpful and just made everything so great

I'm honestly not sure how I went so long without trying this place, especially since it's so close to home and has such an inviting atmosphere--which is even visible from the street. I love the lanterns and the decor inside. It truly feels like you're eating in a cozy ramen shop in the heart of Tokyo. I guess I avoided it because I had looked at a menu and didn't see a vegetarian ramen option. But I asked the server and, lo and behold, they have one with a mushroom base! It's just not on the menu. This would be my one and only complaint; please add it so that we veggie eaters won't be scared off thinking there's nothing here for us. I was getting over a long spell of covid and pneumonia when I visited, and it was *just* the thing I needed. Hot and steaming and so full of delightful umami flavor. Loved the toppings too, especially the pickled ginger. The noodles were the perfect degree of done-ness--tender but al dente. On cold nights, I still think about that ramen, and plan to visit again soon. read more

Service was amazing, so polite and attentive. Food came out very quick and was hot! Small menu so very fool proof. Pork Bao Buns were so delicious and well flavored. Will definitely be back. read more

They updated their decor - pretty lighting, bar seating, booth seating, and vibrant murals throughout make it seem like you're really at a noodle bar in Japan. Although it's been a couple years since I've been here I honestly can't say I remember it being *this* good. I tend to go for the classic tonkotsu and thought that their pork was tender, noodles tender, and broth absolutely rich. 10/10 favorite ramen spot in Nola. We came on a cold night on a Wednesday and did not expect the 30+ minute waitlist. You check in inside and they'll text you when you're up next. Thankfully this is at a prime spot on Magazine so plenty of places to walk around while you wait (like the gelato spot around the corner). read more

Comfort. Friendly. Delicious. My first time trying ramen in New Orleans. Nomiya converted me to a believer in this yummy noodle dish! Appetizer - edamame - so good! They had a yummy flavor/spice to them and did not need soy sauce Meal - I ordered the half spicy ramen with seaweed. So delicious! Perfect spice level for me! Will definitely be back! Check Nomiya out for a comforting, delicious meal in a friendly atmosphere! read more

We both got the spicy ramen, and we ordered it half spice with extra chili on the side. As ordered, it didn't taste spicy at all, so we ended up adding a lot of chili to it. The broth was a thicker than usual creamy broth. The ambiance is really the reason for the 3 star rating. It seemed to need some more cleaning in the restaurant. read more

Food was good and just what I expected. Had a pretty good experience. If I'm ever in the area and craving ramen I'd stop in again.

Great ramen spot where Del Fuego used to be. Their Pork Tonkotsu ramen is so good! I added a bit of chili oil and it really adds to the flavor. The pulled pork buns were okay, the meat was tender and lots of it but I would prefer a crispy filling. The beer was good! Servers were really attentive and it's super chill inside. Tip: if you're going on a Sunday get there at 6 or before because if not there will be a wait! read more

Yum! Cute spot on Magazine with very flavorful ramen. We sat outside on a nice evening. The ramen had delicious springy noodles with really flavorful broth and tons of veggies with tender brisket. There was so much broth that I ate all of the noodles and got a to-go order of noodles to take home and add to my leftover broth. The only drawback is that they don't have a liquor license so, no drinks are available. However, you can always bring your own liquor and also, you can walk to the bar literally next door and get super cheap drinks to bring over...the lack of liquor is not a huge problem. It was a great experience and I'll definitely be back! read more

One of the best ramen spots New Orleans has to offer. What this place lacks in size, it makes up for in taste. I recently went here with a coworker for lunch. We started with the pork buns which were very tasty. I got the Kuro for my main dish. It's ramen with sweet braised pork, corn, garlic oil, leeks and pickled ginger. This was simply delicious, very filling as well. The ginger iced tea was refreshing. Small place so don't come with a large party. The staff is very friendly and the food comes out fast. Located on Magazine Street so be prepared to pay for parking or park on a off street. Highly recommend, will definitely be back. read more
