This is a tough review to write. First off, the food tastes amazing. We had a few different dishes and add-ons. Each exploded with different flavors throughout each bite. I have had ramen in Japan, LA, NY, Las Vegas, Denver etc etc and none have had the flavors this did. I mean you taste every ingredient as the food flows across your taste buds. Just fantastic. HOWEVER... and this is the hard part. They serve you room temp water, and if you ask for ice don't expect much. But the food isn't much warmer than the water. While tasting great, it was barely more than room temperature. I don't mean one thing either, I mean everything. All the ramens, the dumplings, the add-ons and sides were far to cold to be served. You don't have to worry about your noodles continuing to cook or your slow egg to harden because the broth is like warm. By the time you are done it's down right cold. If they would serve the food hot, I would send everyone I know to this little corner flavor mine. Until then, I won't. read more

This is probably my favorite restaurant in New Mexico. My husband and I drive down from Santa Fe to get this ramen. There menu is about 10 items all done exquisitely well! But they always have 5 or more specials, which are always great. Had the sashimi today - incredible. The SHOYU is the best I've ever had, there's a hint of almost bbq to the pork flavor, it's a thing of beauty. And finally our favorite, the fried chicken baos buns, which are simply heavenly. The ambiance is fun, industrial, funky while showing impeccable service. Casual with ordering at the counter but receiving what is Michelin level food. Please go! read more

My new favorite ramen place in town. They really know how to make a broth earthy, salty, sweet and spicy all at the same time. That pecan broth was amazing. The edamame was amazing as well. The char on it with everything was really good. I don't usually talk about edamame in a review read more

Oni has a great vibe, small menu, and easy access to the restaurant ( parking is right across the street). Good ramen to warm your tummy and the aroma to soothe you on a stressful day. They have taste drinks to compliment the savory food options. They have vegetarian options available :). Great patio and indoor options if your solo or in a group. read more

Oni - Dumplings - Ramen Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

This place used to be my jam back when they were a simple food truck at Marble (Montgomery) and then opened up their brick and mortar. Everything used to be so good, but my go-to was always the shoyu ramen (extra noodz and chashu, duh). However, after about a year or so of not going there, primarily due to not wanting to drive downtown from where we live), we finally got it again this evening. My wife and I were beyond excited. I drove all the way down there and hastily drove home as if I were carrying precious cargo. Unfortunately, the feeling of joy soon dissipated when I took my first bite of ramen. What's up with all the salt? It never used to be like this. I couldn't even get myself to finish the entire bowl as I normally would have. Even my wife agreed thay the shoyu broth wasn't the same. Oh, Oni. Where do I go now? Definitely not to..... The dumplings were still legit, though. read more

I went here on a recommendation. Ordered beef tartar, dumplings and two bowls Shoyu ramen and shared one the Bison bone. Cost $95 (tip included) no extra beverage just water. I won't be hater and go into detail of why the food hit low marks with me but the place has a great vibe. I like the decor and the concept. Service is decent as well. It's great the locals are raving over this. I really do appreciate forward thinking new venues coming to Albuquerque like this. read more

Super dope Ramen spot. Lot of Gluten Free options. Had the Green Chile Ramen with the Yam noodles. Overall a solid ramen but could've used a bit more kick in the flavor. The cucumber salad was delicious. Friendly staff and props to whoever was in control of the music that day. Great playlist read more

I really love ramen so I decided to order the Shoyu Ramen. It was good but I am not a fan of raw egg in my soups so it wasn't my favorite meal. I also like spicier food so I don't think I will order this again the future. I liked the decor of this place though. It had a very hip feel to it. I will be back, but will order something different I. The future. read more

The brisket. Get the brisket. And extra brisket. Solid service, welcoming decor, outdoor seating, and shoyu ramen on par or better than what you'll find in most major cities. Compares favorably to LA's Little Tokyo. A gem I'm proud to say is a part of downtown Albuquerque. I'll be back. read more

Finally got to try Oni Noodles at their recent Marble Brewery pop-up. I came through with a couple of friends and ordered up and down the menu. We sat at the bar upstairs, ordered beers, and took in the view while waiting for our food. I had the shoyu ramen, served with smoked pork belly, cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, and the infamous slow egg (supposedly cooked for 45 minutes). The smoked pork belly ended up being a bit smaller than expected. Tasty, but it made the broth taste like pork rinds. I enjoyed the ramen nonetheless. The pecan dashi ramen was similarly good, but not great. Perhaps it was just our bowls, or the time of day; my companion loved his pecan ramen, calling it the best ramen he's eaten in New Mexico. We also tried the tofu steam buns, minus the avocado aioli, to suit a vegan. Perhaps this was the missing ingredient. The buns were soft and had a great mouthfeel, but there wasn't much flavor. We regretted not disregarding our vegan friend and just getting the pork buns. I'm looking forward to giving Oni Noodles another shot. This first encounter was alright, but for the price, I'd rather just get O Ramen. read more

Oni - Pork ramen - Ramen Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

So delicious. My husband and I used to get Oni from there food truck. But this was our first time trying them since they got a physical location. It does not disappoint! The great thing is that they have way more menu options. They have a good selection of vegan food so it is super exciting! Everything we tried was super flavorful, just delicious ! I personally loved the Brussels sprouts side too it was such a unique taste with the lemon! The quantity are generous, perfect when you are hungry and craving some comforting food on a winter day. Ordering was super easy and quick online. I can't stop thinking about it. We will definitely go back and recommend to anybody ! read more

I've been hearing such good things about Oni and finally was able to try it out. I love that they now have a patio option. It was absolutely delicious! I got the Shoyu Ramen which had such great flavor, the pork belly was perfectly cooked, and everything melted in my mouth. I also got the pork dumplings which were great too! Overall, amazing place to go to for ramen and I definitely would go back! read more

Good food. The host/server was helpful with the choices and actually KNEW what was on the menu. Cool vibe. Little pricey but what isn't nowadays. read more

Food presentation looked so good! BUT needs improvement in flavor. I had the bone marrow ramen. Super salty! I poured the whole lemon in my soup so it would level the amount of salt in the bone marrow. I'll say to the chef/cook, maybe leave the marrow alone with no condiments or at least imagine how would it taste if you would eat it? The egg was softer than hard, the ramen needed more time to be less hardened. Customer service was objective and good. The background music was sad sad, sad depressive. read more

Absolutely top notch ramen! The vibe is fun and funky, and the food would be stellar in Los Angeles' Little Tokyo.

I've always found this place to be underwhelming (the ramen not nearly as good as Naruto), but I always end up going with friends because they want to go and there are so few dining options downtown. But when I went yesterday, I watched the person who'd been working the register put her ungloved fingers inside a bunch of clean cocktail glasses as she picked them up to take them to their station. Also, every time she filled up the big water jug where customers can pull their own water, she leaned up against it so that her clothes were touching the spout. All of this right in front of customers, so I can't imagine what unsanitary practices are going on in the back. Gross! read more

Looking for a tasty meal? You won't be disappointed with the choices available here. My daughter and I walked in and were greeted immediately had the menu and the concept explained. Order and pay first, get a wood stick with a number and choose where to sit. A server will find you. The cocktails sounded fabulous, and yes, drinking alcohol at lunch is okay when you're on vacation. We order some small plates to share. Delicious!! The only reason I am giving it a four is because the service was inconsistent. read more

Amazingly delicious pork belly, bone marrow, ramen noodles, kale, veggies, etc that somehow don't quite come together for a cohesive dish. I stood in line for a good amount of time, but didn't have to wait long to get my food after that as they were cranking it out almost as fast as the orders were able to be placed. The pork belly steamed buns with pickled apple, corn relish, and red onions were on point. Definitely worth getting them as a side dish to share. While the ramen didn't really seem to come together as a good dish, most of the ingredients were amazingly delicious separately, including the noodles themselves. I gobbled them all up and left the remains, including the broth, to be discarded. As always, food it's subjective, and you may enjoy the entire dish even more than I did. read more

This was my first time being here, and unfortunately it did not live up to the hype. I had the pecan ramen and it was very bland with no flavor. I requested chili oil and it's either very bland as well, or they gave me some other sort of oil. We also ordered the shiitake dumplings, which were okay but also served with a drizzle of flavorless oil, and the artichoke (more flavorless oils for the dipping). I've never had so much oil in my life. I left not very satisfied, just pretty meh. read more

Such a wonderful experience. 15/10 recommend! You cannot beat the atmosphere, prices, great customer service, and of course delicious flavor. Definitely for smaller parties, I went in a party of 2. We ordered the ribs and garlic noodles so great, they had a different take on ceviche, nice surprise. The edamame was also tasty. Just overall wonderful dining experience. I wish there was one in California ! Do not miss out read more

I want to start by saying what was really good. I am raving about their ribs. I can probably do without the noodle combo since it was a lot of food and I have leftovers for days. I didn't know until after we left that I could order just ribs. So I will 100% be coming back specifically for these ribs. This place was pretty cool aesthetically, but I thought everything else was a little weird. Not a deal breaker on the place but it made our first time eating there a tad confusing. Knowing what I know now will make my future experiences much more enjoyable. When you first walk in the sign says to order everything at the front before you sit down. There was not a line when we showed up and since it was our first time we didn't understand the process. We felt pressured to hurry and order since people started to come in behind us and form a line. Later as we sat and ate we saw people taking a menu sitting down to look it over and then going up to the register. Had I known this was an option I would have done that. We ended up not ordering any drinks due to feeling rushed. Which bums me out cuz it looked like they had some pretty cool drinks. The food is overall good aside from the ribs being exceptional. We ordered the beef dumplings, shoyu ramen with bone marrow on the side, and ribs and noodles. I have had better dumplings at other places. The ones here were a little stiff. Maybe undercooked? The bone marrow added more flavor to the shoyu ramen which in my opinion was overall bland without the bone marrow but my husband liked it both ways. Overall I would say I would come back. Now that I know what to expect when ordering, I am excited to try all the different stuff. read more

Oni is a fairly casual Japanese restaurant. You order first and then choose your own table to sit at (they have some booths, communal tables, and bar seating). I can imagine it getting pretty crowded during peak lunch or dinner hours but luckily we went during off hours and found a table right away. The menu is pretty limited and my boyfriend and I ended up getting the fried chicken steam buns, the shoyu ramen, and the garlic chili noodles. The food came out quickly and all of it was good but I think I enjoyed the steam buns the most. If you're in the mood for Japanese food in downtown Albuquerque, you should definitely check this place out. read more

Hubby and I stopped by for dine in on our way through Albuquerque. I ordered the special Posole Ramen and he ordered the Pecan Ramen. As he is a vegetarian, it was nice to have plenty of options for him. I loved the vibe of the area but be warned if it is busy you might have to sit at a communal table. It's not a deterrent for me, but it might be for some. We will be back when we are craving Ramen! read more

I'm obsessed! Some of the best ramen noodles I have ever had. I attended their pop up at Side Track Brewing today. It's a little bittersweet; this is the last pop up until spring 2020 when they open their restaurant. The upside is the new restaurant is going to be located downtown Abq. The food was so good, delicious flavors. The staff was very friendly, and helpful when it came to me asking questions about the menu. Make sure you follow them on IG to see when they officially open in the spring 2020 read more

I am counting down the days when Oni will rise up at their new brick and mortar location. I found them accidentally one Thursday night at Marble Heights, from there I followed their Facebook page to know where dinner would be served! I always get Pork Dumplings (they have an amazing fried garlic Chile oil I wish they'd bottle and sell) to start and share. The star of the show is the Shoyu but be sure to get double pork and kimchi I'm drooling thinking of this now. Cold, warm, raining all are great time for Oni! read more

I walked over here to get some lunch today and was impressed! The food was delicious and the service was great. The pork melts in your mouth, the toppings are complex and satisfying, and the broth was rich with umami. The Brussel sprouts were perfectly tender and the dumplings were also amazing. We also got a cocktail that's a twist on the traditional bees knees which was delicious and perfectly balanced. I'll be back to try everything else they have!! read more

YES YES YES! This was place DELICIOUS! The seating inside is a bit limited, doubt it's due to covid just the inside is pretty small but that doesn't take away from the taste of the food! Decently and a little more on the expensive side priced but I understand that with it being directly downtown and the cost of operating a business there. The portions were great and the drinks were very well made. Not a single complaint and kudos to the staff working who were very very pleasant! read more

I've been wating from Oni since they opened but this was the 1st time I have ever been able to eat at the location. If you thought their food was good for takeout, wait till you eat your food fresh on-site.

What a great find! I was looking for a new place for lunch and came across Oni, very happy I did! The young lady who took our order was so pleasant and friendly and she asked if we had been there before and we said no. Her reply was "You're in for a real treat!" And she was not kidding. We started off with an order of the edamame and it was soooo good! They were served hot and slightly charred with a seasoning sprinkled on them and what great flavor. They were sweet and spicy and I could have ordered another order For lunch we both had a lunch special. It was green chili ramen and it was excellent! The broth had so much flavor and the noodles were cooked perfectly. If you want to experience a flavor explosion I suggest you stop by Oni and I don't think you will be disappointed! read more

Disguisting. Im Asian and consider myself an Asian soup connoisseur. Whether it is pho, tom yum, udon, and especially ramen. Growing up Vietnamese, ramen is a CHEAP quick go-to to satisfy hunger. At $12/bowl, PLUS a 3% upcharge for using a credit card (which everybody uses these days), thats not cheap but a RIP-OFF! Give me a break! Egg noodles are CHEAP, you buy them by the pound at the Asian market for nothing. The broth was served luke-warm at best, and worse by the raw egg floating around. Taste like water with chicken bullion. Serving was just under half-a-bowl, with three thin slices of pork. This is a mobile food truck, and overhead is low, and they went cheap on serving and quality. You're better off going to a brick-and-mortar restaurant where the soup is served piping-hot and near the brim. First and last time for this one. read more
