First time trying this place and it was quite interesting. I really like that they close later than other restaurants. I get home late and sometimes it's hard for me to find places to eat that are not fast food. There's a station where you order your food or you can go to the bar and order. Once you order, you can take a seat and when your order is ready they'll call your number. The ramen was really good and their servings was enough to get me full. I got the Texas Mazemen which was on the sweeter side but was still tasty! My bf got the Oni Ramen and he really liked it. The steamed buns had pickles and pickled onions in them. Interesting, but I like it! It was a refreshing new taste and I would of never thought of putting pickles in my steamed pork belly bun. read more

Solid 4 stars. Food was good. Broth carried a lot of flavor. Pork was tender with a great flavor. Noodle is tender and not over cooked. I'd eat again. read more

Came on a Saturday night and it wasn't busy at all. Ordering process was done electronically on the screen, and the buzzer will alert you when your order is ready. Everything was easy and simple. I ordered a regular tonkotsu ramen and it comes with pork and vegs only. Some other ramen places include egg in your tonkotsu, but here it's extra charge. What really stood out to me was the ramen came in generous portion! I normally order extra noodle because kids, but I felt like I didn't have to in this place. If I could nitpick one thing, it would be the broth could've been richer imo. Vibe was chill, location is great. Glad I tried this place out! read more

Oni Ramen - Tonkotsu - Ramen Near Me - Richardson, Texas

I was hungry today and I went to oni ramen to have some delicious ramen, they didn't cook the food well enough and made me feel sick, I'm feeling like vomiting right now, please don't ever come here, wasting your money read more

DO NOT COME TO THIS PLACE. I REPEAT DO NOT COME TO THIS PLACE. THE RAMEN "broth" is nothing more than slightly warm water. I know the pictures look good but do not be deceived. The chase is the only thing remotely good about this bowl of hot water and noodles. I repeat if your looking for a deep rich broth TURN THE OTHER WAY AND RUN. read more

THE BEST RAMEN IN DFW! The broth is so creamy, and flavorful. You order at the kiosks near the entrance, and pay with a credit/debit card (not sure if they take cash since there's no cash register!). They will call your number when your order is ready so you can go pick up your tray of food. Very casual ambiance! Good for a quick bite to eat. The Rich Tonkotsu had the best broth, and most delicious pork belly I've ever tasted in a ramen (creamy pork broth seasoned with Japanese salt & soy topped with pork belly, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, woodear mushrooms & green onion). Just wish there was more food though ;) read more

My favorite ramen place. Oni Reaper. Medium spice. Add Steamed gyoza and drop them into the broth.

I love a good Oni Ramen. I've tried a couple of their ramen dishes, ranging from medium spice to really spicy, and they always hit the spot. I really like their Kyushu Tonkotsu. The restaurant is simple and clean, which is nice. I also appreciate that they have self-service machines to order your meal, and you can pick up your ramen from the window once it's ready. The staff is friendly, and I think the restaurant is located in a great area. I've also ordered Oni Ramen for delivery, and they did not disappoint. read more

I'm not one to write reviews, actually this is like the first review I've written, but I felt compelled to write this one. The food here used to be good. I feel like the food quality has dropped a lot since it first opened, but that's not why I'm writing this review. Oni was formerly my sister and I's go to ramen joint, but we have agreed to not come back here because of the service we received and the events that happened our last visit. My sister and I both ordered Texas Mazemen, and that comes in a standard spice level medium. My sister had initially thought that she ordered a spice level mild (mistake on her part) to which they informed us that mild was not available for Texas Mazemen. She said it was way too spicy for her to eat. I tried her bowl, and she was right. Her bowl was ridiculously spicy, even I was struggling to eat the noodles in her bowl because of how spicy it was (I enjoy indulging in the buldak spicy ramen 2x as a reference for my spice tolerance). Now keep in mind, this is my go to ramen order and spice level which is a medium... It was NOT a level medium. It was closer to their spice level fire (I have had this spice level once before). This was clearly a screw up on their part. We told them twice that the bowl was way too spicy for my sister to eat. Their response? You should have put the spice on the side instead of the bowl. If you want something less spicy, order a new bowl. We have an "eat spice responsibly warning". I'm sorry what? Blaming the customers, for something that was a mess up from your kitchen is ridiculous. I understand you have a warning about the spice but when an order says medium spice, it SHOULD BE MEDIUM SPICE. Not hot, not fire level. After going back and forth with the guy, we just gave up. I ended up switching my bowl with my sister's. We left pretty upset, but we knew it was pointless to continue talking to the guy who clearly did not care. Also, if you order here and make modifications like switching vegetables, expect them to mess it up. The last few times we have been here, they ALWAYS messed something up in BOTH of our bowls. And don't expect the soft boiled eggs to be soft, they mess this up too. My sister had one situation that I will also bring up. A recent past time she dined here, she added bean sprouts to her order. When she received her ramen, SURPRISE SURPRISE no bean sprouts. She went up to them and asked for the bean sprouts. His response? "Oh we don't have any bean sprouts." Didn't even bother to tell her the item she paid extra for wasn't even available. She had to go up and ask them about it. Crappy service. Anyways, if you read all of this, kudos! Come try this place if you want, BUT BE WARNED. Thanks! read more

Great staff! Everyone is very friendly and helpful whether you're a new or returning customer. Upon walking in, there are iPads on the right wall for you to submit your customized order. The restaurant is open seating, so once you've ordered, take a seat and wait for your order number to be called on the intercom. Once you hear your number, you will pick up your food by the bar/kitchen. If you prefer bar seating, there is a full bar available. Outdoor seating is also available on the patio which goes around the corner of the building. It's very spacious with low tables and high-tops that can seat up to 8 people. Wonderful place and vibes for friends and family or even to self-study on your own. read more

Oni Ramen - Steamed Buns (Pork Belly) & Wings (Sweet Thai Chili) - Ramen Near Me - Richardson, Texas

I was excited to try a new ramen shop. After my first visit, I could not wait to go back and try a new flavor. The price of a specialty bowl is too expensive. This last visit, the pork was too fatty and almost had no meat :/ They need runners to serve people heavy bowls and clean up the tables - there was practically no where to sit upon my first visit. Still a nice environment to get some slurp XD read more

Our order: 1) Light Assari 2) Signature Miso 3) Topo Chico/Lemonade The Food - 4 Stars: First time at this place and made the mistake of ordering 'Hot' with the Assari. I figured I was safe with two higher levels of spiciness on the menu. Woah! Boy was I wrong. It was 'hot' a lot more than I expected. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it as the noodles and pork were perfectly cooked. The Miso was creamy and loaded with flavor. The Service - 3 Stars: Self-Service kiosks for ordering and order number called on a PA system. Almost no interaction with staff or service, unless you sit at the bar for drinks. The Price - 3 Stars: I'm no expert on ramen pricing, but it did seem a bit high with $14 a bowl without an egg. ~$35 before tip/tax. The Vibes - 3 Stars: The bar area is probably the highlight of this place because their sake is on full display. The bulk of the restaurant itself is 'basic' tables in an industrial like style. Nothing 'cozy' or seemingly unique to call out. Overall, rounding down to 3 stars. Enjoyed the meal but nothing spectacular to draw us back. read more

Oni Ramen - Light Assari Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Richardson, Texas

I got the Kyushu Tonkotsu Ramen Medium Heat. Looking at the spice escalation this one seemed manageable. I like spice a lot so I would go up to hot next time. Overall the ramen was good. The ingredients were nice and the pork belly was well cooked. The parking in this area is really bad. On a Tuesday evening, we could barely find parking. One thing that I think this place can improve on is the way you get your orders. It was like a guessing game to figure out what the lady said into the microphone. But the food came out fast and it tasted good. Not much to complain about. read more

Oni Ramen - Kyushu Tonkotsu Ramen Medium Heat - Ramen Near Me - Richardson, Texas

This place got nothing authentic their broth is artificial and also their noodles. I have tasted authentic Japanese ramen before and there are places that are way better around the area than here. The staff are not welcoming they also messed up your order is missing things. With the same price point your money is better spent elsewhere not here. read more

4 stars for the ambiance and quick service. The food was absolutely mid, i don't know if it was just what i ordered, but the broth in the Tokyo Black had BARELY any flavor in it. The pork belly was good, a bit pink on the bottom which was a bit off putting at first but it had the best flavor in the bowl. There's supposed to be a strong garlic flavor from the black garlic oil, but unfortunately was not there :/ the bokchoy also tasted fresh (?) like crunchy just washed and thrown in there and not blanched in broth/water. My friend ordered the Miso Ramen which was basic but at least had some flavor... overall, i won't be stopping by any time soon after this. read more

Great food. Automated ordering. Send pick up. Delicious!!!! Good vibe in a downtown environment. read more

Excellent ramen in a busy place at Cityline makes for a quick nourishing meal that feeds you body and soul. I had the tonkotsu ramen, with extra chasu and egg. I loved every bite! Not fussy or snooty, this is ramen at its finest: delicious, soothing, sustaining. 5 ramenhead stars read more

Oni Ramen - Lunch with hubby :) - Ramen Near Me - Richardson, Texas

I don't think I've ever been to a sit down restaurant and left with the impression of how impersonal it seemed to be. This was a first. When you enter the restaurant, you immediately order at one of the 3 iPad stations they have set up. There is no one to greet or help you if you have any questions unfortunately. The other complaint is that after we ordered the food it took a whopping 30 minutes to arrive for two bowls of ramen and takoyaki. We almost thought they lost our order. The ramen itself was great. I give props to the oni ramen specialty bowl which had the best crispy thick pork belly I've had. Sometimes ramen bowls go easy on the meat but this was very hearty and fulfilling. It was interesting that they had parmesan and corn as an addition but it made the bowl more interesting and bursting with a creamy flavor. I tried the HOT spice level and it was perfect once my taste buds got used to it. Definitely on the edge of almost too spicy for me. I would not recommend this for a sit down restaurant but perhaps take out would be a good option. read more

I can't say I've ever been excited about Ramen until we tried this restaurant. I keep getting the same thing as it is filling and delicious. I like the Texas Mazemen as it is a brothless ramen so I'm navigating all of the ingredients rather than making a mess with all of the liquid! The teriyaki boba shredded pork belly is so flavorful and they include so many other ingredients in the bowl that you feel like you are enjoying the right balance of noodles, meat, and other flavors that add to the enjoyment of the dish. Perhaps I'll try something else from their menu at some point, but this is a place where I look forward to going back for the same thing! read more

Really good Tokyo black. You can also customize everything. The place has a nice vibe of music during the weekends. read more

Oni Ramen - Tokyo Black Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Richardson, Texas

This place served the best ramen I've ever had in DFW so far, it was better than ramen izakaya akira or kyuramen or kintrao ramen. I didn't care for the decorations as some of it looked like demons, but the restaurant was clean and the decorations looked new and nice. The restaurant was a self service style of restaurant, where you ordered from an ordering pad and get your own water and pickup the ramen yourself. The ordering system was not exactly easy for a first timer, but I love the fact that the ordering system allowed the ramen to be very customizable. I ordered the kyushu ramen and the broth and meats were very flavorful, way beyond my expectations. I would not hesitate to recommend anyone to come and give this place a try, bravo! read more

Oni Ramen - Kyushu Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Richardson, Texas

I went to dinner here with some friends one Saturday night. The parking is a little scarce in the garage next to it. Once you go inside then you go to the right side and order at a kiosk. I started off with an order of Gyoza $6.75 for 6 pieces. These were pretty good, nice and crunchy. I got the Tan Tan Men $13.50 plus a soft boiled egg $1.25. The shrimp tempura was pretty generic but the broth and overall size of the bowl for what you pay is pretty good. There is no server so you get your own water and they call out your order number for you to pickup at the counter next to the kitchen. I personally am not a fan of this service style but as long as you don't mind it then the taste and value is pretty good. I would go back to get my ramen fix. read more

I love this place so much that when I'm have anything to do in Dallas, it is always my favorite place to dine. As a matter of fact I came here 2 days in a row!! On my last visit I was so excited that I forgot to pay for parking. I came outside and discovered my rental car had been booted. I was in shock and disbelief. I paid a $116.00 to have the boot removed. Ppl begin to gather around to inform me this happens every day. This definitely put me in a bad place. As you can see I paid parking the day before. I became distracted and forgot to pay parking. Although, this destroyed my appetite I quickly realized that I can't let one bad experience destroy my mood. It was a unanticipated costly mistake that cost me $300.00 right before Thanksgiving. read more

Bit of a mixed bag. The flavor of the ramen was nice, the pork was delicious. However it was a really cold day and we wanted something nice and hot so we thought ramen would hit the spot. Unfortunately the ramen was served lukewarm, which really killed the experience. The pricing really reaches the level where it's doubtful we'd come back. Over $90 for 4 people eating ramen that's not even full service is a reach for me. All the ordering is done on a tablet and you find your own seat, cafeteria style. So it's a bit conflicting because you're paying high end price for ramen but it's cafeteria style. While we're on that subject, I'm from the service industry. I work six days a week in a restaurant and have been in the industry over 20 years. The tip fatigue is really setting in even for people like me. The option to tip really shouldn't be there at the end when you're paying. Yes there's an option to tip 0% but there really shouldn't be that kind of pressure on the customer, because as a service industry worker, I feel bad pressing zero. You have to do everything yourself here, from ordering, finding your seat to picking up your food. This would be like tipping at a self checkout at a market. The owners can adjust it to skip the option to tip, there's no reason to leave it in this level of service. Yes, I tipped, working at a restaurant is not easy, but you're dampening the customer's experience in this case. While the flavor isn't bad, there's too many other ramen places and too many issues here for us to consider coming back. Sorry, Oni, don't want you to fail but just want you to know why some people are one and done with you. read more

I had higher expectations for this restaurant. P.S. the people that work here are goated tho & they are v kind to service workers the parking is sort of good - they do have parking garages, but they're not actly that big if you don't live in the area. So the restaurant is pretty spacious, and its self seating as well as self-ordering. There's tablets in the front for ordering. There's not that many items to choose from, but ordering a ramen dish can be tedious. There are lots of options to choose from, and I was surprised they charged more for the spice level. - this is not applicable to the Oni Reaper. We ordered, and the wait wasn't overbearing, but it was still kind of long - but to be fair it was pretty packed. This is what we ordered: Kyushu Tonkatsu Gyoza Oni Reaper Make sure you get the spice on the side - cause that shi go crazzzzy. I was pleasantly surprised by the two thick slabs of pork belly in our bowls. It tasted p good ngl. I was sad though because I ordered a soft egg in my bowl, but there wasn't any. :( I did end up eating my partner's egg - and it was nice and jammy. tbh the ramen was ok. my partner said the noodles were kind of bland and lacking in salt. for me, personally, i found it to be hard to eat as time went on. The broth got really salty and it just wasn't appetizing. for the gyoza, it was very crispy and had a good outer shell, but the filling itself was lacking in flavour and spices for me. overall i felt kind of disappointed just because I think the workers are cool, but i find the flavour profile of the food items to be lacking. & i would agree that the spice will hit for the spice lovers out there. tldr: ramen is alright - make sure to eat it fast read more

Went here with my co workers during a farewell lunch. We ended up ordering the chicken which was good and was moist. I ordered the Japanese melon drink which was great, but you can find those in the store. I also ordered the Tokyo Black Ramen for $20 dollars a little on the high side, but it is okay. The meat was moist. Our orders came at a decent timing as we had 20 people in our party. read more

Very delicious Ramen. 2nd time we've been there and I will be going back again. Clean and bright establishment.

Always down to try another ramen joint. Oni has an ordering style similar to what you find in some Japanese establishments where you place your order at a machine when you walk in and when it's done, someone will bring it by (or in this case, you go pick it up). Very efficient. That's about where the good stuff ends. After ordering, the food comes out in an adequate time. I ordered the rich tonkatsu ramen- what I think I got was the not so rich tonkatsu ramen. The broth felt watered down, it wasn't rich and creamy. The noodles tasted like they might have been out for a little while. Overall bowl was just kinda bland. The soft boiled egg was nice and provided some sodium that was very much needed. The single slice of pork belly I had- one part seemed a little dry/overcooked, but then the other side of it was very tender. All in all, it didn't quite hit the mark in what I was expecting in ramen. Wanted to like this place, but it just fell short. read more

Best Ramen I've had in a while!! I recommend the Tokyo black. And the Texas selection. read more

It was pretty good, I'm not the biggest ramen guy but I would recommend it. Spices and flavor was great also.

I don't understand how this place has good reviews. I took a client from out of town to dinner there since it was close to their hotel room and the experience was lackluster. While looking fun and having interesting murals, The service was pitiful. The employees are stanfoffish and rude and didn't want to answer our questions. Everything is also an upcharge and they take you though pages of up charges. The food came out warm but not hot and the flavor of the pork was unusual and unappetizing. The worst thing was the unusually loud music measuring in at over 85 decibels according to my Apple Watch. read more

Some of the best Ramen I've ever had! They always make it fresh and the ingredients are top tier!

Food has been going down in quality this past year. The food is often cold and eggs (was the best part imo) are inedible. Sad to see this happening read more

I like how we can customize our ramen on the machine. The best thing is that their soft boil egg. They definitely have marinated them. It so soft and flavorful. I always have at least 2 eggs in my ramen The reason for the 4 is that the limit of side dishes and I dont like their takoyaki, I dont like the sour taste of it. read more

I've been in search of a good ramen spot with vegetarian friendly broth, and Oni ramen has been the best I've had so far. I'd definitely recommend going here, it's 8 s/10 for me. ------------ I always get the veggie broth ramen (at medium spice) with a soy sauce marinated egg. This dish is a 9/10 for me. Their spice actually hits pretty hard, which I love. The egg is delicious when combined with the broth, and they have a great variety of veggies. My friend got the same thing only topped with shrimp tempura, and this was also a great choice if you don't mind spending a bit more. The shrimp are crispy and a great pairing with the broth. read more

Oni Ramen - Vegetarian Broth - Ramen Near Me - Richardson, Texas

Not bad, not bad, not bad! This is a hip ramen place in the heart of Richardson downtown. Close to business and UT Dallas. There are plenty of street and garage parking! This was our first time exploring restaurants in Richardson. But after reading all the great reviews, we wanted to give this restaurant a try. First! Everyuthing is self service. From ordering, getting water, and picking up your dishes from the counter area. On the counter you can also find extra utensils and to go boxes if you need some. Ordering your food was pretty easy, the menu and ordering system was very user friendly! You can also chose the spicy level of your ramen but FYI once you chose it, you can't ask to remake it because you chose unwisely! They also have huge signs everywhere! So always be on the safe side as even mild had a little kick! I wonder how spicy their highest level then is! We also ordered some of the appetizers and the were all solid (chicken karaage, tayoyaki, edamame). The broth in all of their ramen was solid. Deep, flavorful and rich but the only complaint I had was that my noodles were soggy! (A big no no for all ramen lovers!). If they could get the kitchen staff to get the cook time for the noodles right. It would have been 5 stars all the way! Decent ramen place, nice ambient, good menu! Solid ramen place! read more

My favorite ramen restaurant in DFW so far. The traditional pork belly is the best meat I've had in a bowl of ramen. Wonderful, richly flavored broth. You definitely feel like you get a lot of food for your buck. This isn't a "fancy" restaurant, it's a more chill, smart-feeling sort of place with a full bar. We love the ordering kiosks where you can fully customize what's in your bowl. There's minimal interaction with the staff if you use the kiosk. One critique is that lately, I've noticed some inconsistencies. Most of the time when we go, everything is great; however, my fiancee has been disappointed once or twice, and I've noticed some inconsistencies with spice levels. I'd give the place a solid 4.8. read more

Oni Ramen is one of the best ramen places I have been to. Once you enter the building, you order your food at the kiosk stations. there are quite a few different types and you can adjust the way you want your meat, add toppings and adjust your spicy level. You can then find your own table and get water. Once your order number is called you get the ramen near the kitchen. I ordered the kyushu tonkotsu with chopped meat. It was amazing! the meat was super tender and the noodles were perfectly cooked, nice and chewy. the broth was rich and very tasty. I would totally go back again. read more
