Authentic ramen and Japanese appetizers. The fried enoki mushrooms were my favorite but everything was tasty and fresh. The ramen was delicious and the portions were huge. Be prepared to leave with left overs. Staff are super helpful and will help you decide on food if you are new to Japanese street food. I will definitely come again. read more

Loved the chicken curry ramen. I added enoki mushrooms and asked for hot chili oil which made it so much more delicious. The spice and the curry are so good together read more

Noodle Boulevard - Chicken Curry Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

Until 6 years ago, I only knew of ramen as something starving college students would buy in bulk. After being introduced to grown up ramen by a Japanese executive 6 years ago, I have been to dozens of ramen houses on 3 continents. I was surprised to discover this gem and am happy to report that Noodle Blvd is as good as it gets. Perfect broth. Perfect egg. Amazing pork belly. Spice level is a personal thing. I took a guess at level 4 and it was perfect for me (hot enough to feel it without being uncomfortable). Service was fast and friendly. Food came out in only a few minutes. Only oddity for a ramen house was that the tables on either side of me were speaking Cantonese (as was the waitress) and I didn't hear anyone speaking Japanese. I assume that's just a reflection of local demographics rather than some indication that the Japanese locals are eating somewhere else. All to say, I highly recommend this if you're in Raleigh area! read more

A very curious indo ramen fusion place. As such, got the curry ramen which was nice but frankly more of an Indian dish with a ramen twist rather than the other way around. It was very flavorful. The ramen egg was not well marinated and clearly overcooked, appearing hard boiled. A friend got the shoyu which was poorly executed. Would not come here expecting authentic ramen but it's decent if you're expecting fusion ramen read more

2nd time visiting this place while in town on business. LOVE IT. Everything I've tasted here has been absolutely delicious. Pork bun, tonkotsu ramen, black garlic ramen, and THE DUCK RAMEN legit 5/5. Only downside is that it's a smaller restaurant, so quite packed and the potential for long waits. Probably not great for large parties. I had about 3 parties ahead of me and was sat within 10mins, so it does turn over quickly. They do have an outside patio that would extend the # of seats in the summer months. Parking lot is also small but free overflow parking next door. Great spot, highly recommended read more

Yum! Always great food and fast, friendly service! Had the Bangkok ramen and short rib ramen on this visit. Spice 3 for me, 5 for the hubby. It's a must try! read more

This is where you ramen, and it shows. Granted I'm sharing a photo of udon but who cares. Doesn't that look tasty?! It was. Crispy chili oil on the table to boot. We've enjoyed this place since it was 1/5th the size off of Harrison Avenue, never disappointed (unless they are out of something!). So many ramens to chose from - better try them all. My only complaint would be the stools. Perch and eat... then get out! Surely they do that to keep people From lingering too long... Outside chairs aren't much better. read more

Came here early on Friday night. Glad we didn't have to wait to be seated! I love the duck noodle soup! Very delicious, soup was flavorful. Did regret ordering 4/6 (spicy) because I always like to drink the soup but it was too spicy to drink the broth! Definitely will come again! Love to see the restaurant run by a bunch old Asian ladies! read more

Food was amazing here. First time customer. It was hard to pick out something just because we weren't familiar with the dishes. Pictures would have helped haha. Only thing I would say is the staff wasn't very attentive with their tables. Had to ask a few times for things. Parking lot isn't all that great either, small, had to park down the hill at the hotel. Didn't want Waffle House towing my car haha. Other than that it was great. Good food and good vibe. read more

Pretty good place for Ramen, these place designed very simple. Look busy all the time, like the food service is OK and a little pricey tho but still worth it. Specially if you craving for ramen or noodles, Noodle Boulevard might a good place for it. We like it and definitely will be back when we come visit the area again. read more

Man. This is the perfect chill spot for dates. Or just an outing with a friend. And the food?! Omg so good. My boyfriend and I were regulars here. To the point where the lady (man I wish I knew her name) always smiles and laughs when she sees my boyfriend because he always orders his food SUPER spicy lol. We love this place so much hat we frequently made the 25-30 minute drive here from Durham. Before I left North Carolina, we went here one last time. And when I come visit it'll be one of the very first places I visit. Okay. I don't wanna bore you. Just know this place is worth it. If I'm willing to lose gas money to drive out here that explains itself lol. See my pictures for suggestions on what to order! **the egg is so worth adding an extra lol **only get the curry if you like sweet curry. It's not a Caribbean/Jamaican style curry (duh I should've known that lol) **adding noodles is good if you're super hungry or want leftovers. **for variety, try switching out the meats! **you can never go wrong with the teriyaki chicken as your meat! (This review is from a couple years ago but I realized it was still in my drafts and wanted to post! Lol.) read more

They have a new location! I'm really glad I stumbled upon their Yelp page before I drove over to their old address. This location is probably at least double if not triple the size. As you know the last spot was crazy tiny! They don't have any real signage up yet so you have to trust your GPS. I turned in right before the Waffle House sign and thought I might be at the wrong spot. I wasn't! As I was walking out someone in the parking lot even asked me if this was Noodle Blvd. Parking was tight and I saw quite a few people parking at the hotel behind the biz and walking over. I had ordered online and since it was my first time at the new spot I didn't know what to do. The lovely ladies working were clearly overwhelmed and I waited in line at the hostess stand for awhile. Once they told me to go to the counter I waited there some more. It looks like with the new location they have expanded their starters menu. And I will say though, the ramen is worth the wait! I wouldn't say you should come here for a speedy lunch, but come here for a delicious bowl of ramen when you have a bit of time. I went with the shoyu ramen and it was packaged up perfectly to go. I also enjoy the tonkotsu ramen and have heard nothing but good things about their chicken curry ramen. Literally I'm craving that ramen right now just writing about it. Not a super high chair friendly spot as the majority of tables are high tops. Just an FYI if that affects you or not. If you haven't tried them out yet, what are you waiting for?! read more

OMG. Went on a Friday night and the line was out the door, but it moved quickly and the staff did a great job seating people. They continued to be efficient and attentive, and executed well. The place was clean and packed, so we were seated along the bar facing the kitchen. I ordered the Tofu Curry Ramen and my husband got the Tofu Miso Ramen and both were outstanding. We shared a bottle of sake and devoured our meal. I'm not used to spice ratings out of 6, and we both went with 3/6, and it was very spicy for us, we don't pride ourselves on our spice tolerances or anything but don't want bland food either. So don't hesitate to order a 1 or 2, the food is still spiced and flavorful. Next time I'll go with a 2/6 and probably still struggle because the food was so good. I also heard a customer order a spice level 3, but spice on the side... might try something like that next time. I'll be back next time I'm in that area, and this place makes me want to venture back there sooner. read more

Freaking fantastic. Just go. It'll be packed, but you'll get served quickly. Best ramen I've ever had, hands down.

Came here last night with my partner around 6:15pm. The parking spaces next to the building were all taken so we had to drive down the hill and near the hotel to find some open spaces. I ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen while she got the spicy seafood Tom Yum Ramen. The food came out pretty quick after we ordered. After tasting the broth of the Tonkotsu, it lacked flavor and tasted watery. My partner said that her seafood was overcooked. The shrimp and squid/octopus were both very rubbery. Location-wise, the outdoor area is not good because it is right next to a very busy road with a lot of noise pollution so it's not very conducive to a nice meal. I liked their old location better because at least it's nestled in a quite area. I think after this experience, I would go with Miso Ramen Bar in Cary for the best Ramen in the Triangle. read more

Second time we've been here and it was terrible. I changed my mind on the food as she wouldn't let me change it. It had only been 2 mins. Didn't say sorry and didnt even try. Waitress never checked on us, gave us straws or gave us our check. We waiting for 15 mins looking around and another waitress finally came. read more

The only thing that's changed is their location, and that's a good thing! We both had the Spicy Seafood Tom Yum Ramen for lunch today. We've learned to "aim low" on the spice level at this restaurant. I like a medium spice, but a level two of six was perfect for me--it had a kick, but it didn't bruise. My friend, who usually can't get enough heat, chose a level four and thinks he'll get a three next time. The noodle bowl itself was amazing; it was loaded with calamari, bay scallops, and a couple of shrimp. The broth was fantastic, too. I could have poured it in a mug and sipped it all day. It's in the old Hot Point/Pizza Hut building, just before the Waffle House on Kildaire Farm Road. The space itself isn't huge, but it's clean, well designed and a bit bigger than when they were on Harrison Avenue. Our server was very friendly and helpful! They were busy for lunch today, but no one was waiting for a table. They don't have a sign out front right now, so look for it between Jasmin's and the Waffle House sign. If you pass Waffle House, you've gone too far! read more

Overrated and DEFINITELY NOT authentic. Sorry but I really had to say it for anyone thinking the ramen they have here was authentic. I asked my co-worker for his favorite ramen spot and here it was. Me and my partner ordered pork belly bun, miso ramen and spicy tonkotsu ramen. After tasting each ramen, it seemed that the ramens use a same stock but adds different paste to make a "different" ramen.. and that I meant putting the paste to the bowl then adding the stock in to dissolve it. I understand it makes the service quick but some of the pastes were still remaining at the bottom of the bowl :/ Also the broth tasted the same. On top of that I have never had a ramen with cabbage in it. The spicy oil that they put in the ramen (when you request for spicy ramen) feels more like Laoganma spicy crisps more than ra-yu. Overall, the service and ramen were okay but I wouldn't recommend to anyone looking for an authentic ramen dishes.. I will stick to miso ramen bar instead read more

The restaurant was hard to find as there is no visible sign from the streets. This is located right next to the gas station and I drove passed it twice, because I thought it was the Waffle House. The parking is limited during peak hours. There are condiments on the table like ramen pepper, chili pepper, siracha, and soy sauce. The service is friendly and attentive. I ordered the shrimp shumai and the Bangkok Ramen. The ramen came out pretty quick and before the shumai. The shumai skin was soggy and broke apart easily, but still delicious. I really liked the sweet soy dipping sauce too. The Bangkok ramen came with bean sprouts, wonton strips, bokchoy, green onions, a naruto fish cake, pork, and 2 pieces of shrimp. I excluded the peanuts from the toppings. They gave you a good portion of noodles, but not enough broth. The broth was flavorful, slightly sweet, and the level 1 spicy was the perfect subtle hint of spice that I wanted. Overall, good experience and this is one of the better ramen places I've been to in NC. read more

We came here while visiting family in the area. It was cold and I wanted something warm. Our cousins had been telling us about it and it did not disappoint. I had the duck ramen and my companion had the Bangkok. We both enjoyed. It has a great vibes. They need a bigger spot because it was packed when we arrived and we were seated by the patio door. In winter this was pretty rough, but we had a great service and food so we will definitely return when we are in the area. read more

First time here at Noodle Boulevard. It was very busy and had to wait almost 40 min to be seated. We have ordered Enoki Mushroom appetizer and two Vegetarian Ramen dishes. The appetizer for that price was a very small portion and bit oily but tasty. But I don't think it's worth the price. Both of our ramen dishes served pretty quickly and perfectly cooked and very tasty. Their spice level is on the high level, We ordered medium spicy and it was close to High Spicy. Overall a nice restaurant if you want to enjoy a good Ramen. We will come back for sure. read more

I was in the area for a meeting and found Noodle Boulevard on Yelp. Although it was a little after 5 pm on a Friday, the parking lot was full. Once I was able to get parked, there was no seating available so I decided on takeout. The food I ordered was good but one hour later, I found out that it was extremely salty. Enough that my ears were red and my mouth was bone dry. Although I expect some salt to be used, I was a bit surprised to see the effects happen so quickly. read more

BLUF: Speedy service AND delicious foods? GO!! Their Ajisu Egg is the most perfect egg ever! The yolk is in the state of still being molten and oh so silky. The Pork Belly Bun was delicious and really loved the chef's batter for their Takoyaki. The Takoyaki deserves its own paragraph. It seemed like it had a greater ratio of rice flour than AP flour because the outside was fried to a golden-brown and craggy-crispy shell. (Think of the fried dumplings (鹹水餃) one would get at dimsum.) It has the same near mochi-like chewy interior. So awesome! Noodle Blvd is very generous with their ramen portions. When I ordered their Short Rib Ramen special, I expected some shredded beef in a nice pile on top of the ramen. To my delight, the waitress brings out a rib full of meat! Seeing the fat later still on it I damn near shed a tear I was so happy. The chef does not kid around with the spice levels. A 4 out of 6 was already sinus-clearing levels. That does make me very curious just what is their level 6. The Tofu Curry Ramen was on point as well. The soup was so full of flavor, delicious, coats the ramen with every delectable bite. Fast service, delicious food! read more

So we've had several good outings here but today wasn't it. We got a rice bowl that was 80% rice and just a few strands of chicken. I ordered beef ramen at a spice level 2 out of 5 and it was like fire, I got the 2 two weeks ago and it was great. Waitress said 'sometimes it's really hot, sometimes not'. And my daughter got a kids ramen with barely any ramen. Was just an off night all around. read more

Yeah, they did it! I am from NoVa, and we get really great Asian cuisine...and this ramen stacked up to some of the best. The broth was really great. The noodles were legit and properly cooked. Toppings were also on point. We also ordered a Karage, the fried chicken app. That was okay, not the top but definitely to the point. We enjoyed our soup. Service was nice. I would recommend this place. It's probably the 3rd best bowl of ramen that I have had...and I have had quite a few. read more

It was cold and dreary and I wanted a hot bowl of soup. Yay Yelp for making this pop up at the top of my feed. I got to sit solo at the bar and enjoy the best ramen I've had in town. I tried the chicken curry noodle bowl (recommended by a fellow Yelper) and it was delicious! Came out super fast and a huge portion. I also tried their pork belly bun. The bun was great- pork was a little tough - but tasty! Service is great and fast. read more

My friend recommended this place for lunch after our hike. Noodle Boulevard is a bit of a drive from Durham (which is where I live), but I thought the food here made the commute worth it! The restaurant mostly does noodles (obviously). But because I follow a relatively gluten-free diet, I opted for a rice bowl instead. The teriyaki chicken bowl I ordered tasted really fresh! Not too overwhelming on the teriyaki sauce, and the chicken was really tender and flavorful. Aside from wishing there were more vegetables included with the bowl, I was overall really satisfied with my lunch. I'd likewise recommend this to my friends! read more

Do not let the long line fool you. The line was out the door , but we were seated within 10 minutes. Our waitress was quick to answer our questions and to take our orders. She had some excellent honest advice about the menu which we all very much appreciated. The ramen had excellent GF options (rice noodles) and had varying spice levels. I got a 3 (out of 6 maybe?) and I was confident it would be a comfortable spice. No. It was not. I felt my lips go numb and my sinuses clear. But goodness was it tasty. I had a black garlic ramen and the umami oozed out even through the mind numbing (for me) spice. So be careful with your spice level. Anyways, beautiful presentation and tasty tasty ramen. Quick service. And they are so quick to get you the check since it's all electronic. I would 100% come again (and have a spice level of 1) to try the fun beautiful flavors. My friends got the duck ramen and that was absolutely savory and delicious. Cons: barely any parking. read more

TLDR: are they closed? Ended up going to Kiichi Ramen in Durham, they have chicken curry ramen and I loved it! Longer version: They accepted my takeout order and then cancelled 30 min later while I was on my way to pick it up. I called and called, no one answered. I checked the website, the Facebook page, and the Instagram but it looks like they haven't updated in quite awhile. No idea what happened, but Kiichi Ramen came through! read more

Noodle Boulevard is my favorite place to grab a bowl of ramen. The food is top notch...the broth is a touch sweet, savory and can be as spicy as you like it! My favorites are the short rib ramen and the tofu curry ramen. The short rib is a decadent bowl was a massive hunk of tender short rib that falls apart upon touch. It is the definition of filling. The tofu or chicken curry ramen is great if you are looking for the flavor without the food coma. The service here is QUICK...we're talking minutes for ramen to come out. With its gorgeous cozy ambience Noodle Boulevard is a well rounded restaurant! read more

My daughter and I came for lunch on a Wed afternoon. We knew it would get crowded so we arrived at 11:30. The tables were already full so we sat at the bar area. Seating is terrible. Even though it was raining outside people were still sitting at the tables outside. I find it difficult to enjoy your food when there are so many people standing around waiting. I got the Tonkotsu Ramen and my daughter got the Shoyu Ramen. I'm not a big ramen eater so I researched the differences online before we came. I would suggest you do the same if you are new to Ramen. The broths couldn't of been more different !! To me, the flavor had not been developed deep enough to my liking in either broth. The serving size was too large (as was the price). Would like to try a different dish if we come again. Maybe get it to go ?? If you get it to go you lose that big bowl and all the warmth it holds. The plastic container just doesn't cut it for me. This place is very popular. Their overhead is super low. Maybe a bigger space would be in order. I would like the comfort of not being rushed and enjoying my food. read more

Relocating from DC area and traveling to Japan ... this is on point and can be in the same level as the spots I've had in these places Love the open concept here with the high seating tables and benches ..

We stopped here for lunch while on vacation with our closest friends. The place was packed. My husband actually had to park across the street. That's a good sign! The staff was friendly and helpful. We got a nice assortment of deliciousness. I would have to say the shumai was my favorite. We also got gyoza but hubby inhaled them and I was lucky to get one. The bowls of soup are huge and delicious. This is definitely a must stop if you're in the area. If you're not in the area, do yourself a favor and go anyway. I look forward to going again but I think I'll try the Udon noodles instead of ramen. Yummm! read more

Small space with seating packed tight but they serve very quickly to get diners in and out. The black garlic ramen is very very good. It's supposed to come with an ajitsuke egg but mine didn't.
