The food here is amazing and the service is always super welcoming! The space here is clean and friendly. I always come here after a long day to destress and eat one of my favorite comfort foods. The front lady never fails to make this a great experience. Totally recommend to anyone who is craving something savory and filling. I absolutely love this place! read more

I was asked to leave just for having my child with me. My child is 9 years old, not a toddler. We only said we were two people when we entered and waited politely at the door. We did nothing rude, but an older woman kept saying the place wasn't suitable for kids because people drink here and repeatedly suggested we go to another restaurant. It was only 5 PM, and the bar was completely empty. There were plenty of open seats, including reserved ones that stayed empty while I stepped out. This was very uncomfortable and unwelcoming. Families deserve basic respect and better customer service. read more

Ramen 4 Real is such a cute little spot. The location is super cozy and a little small, but honestly that added to the whole authentic feel for me. We did have to wait about 10 to 15 minutes, but it was just one lady working her butt off serving and bussing tables so we really did not mind. And it was absolutely worth the wait. I ordered the shoyu ramen with extra chashu and potstickers. Everything was amazing. The broth had so much flavor, the noodles were perfect, and the extra chashu was the right call. I would one hundred percent go back. The woman working was so sweet too. She kept bringing us cute little drinks to try for free and it made the whole experience even better. This place is definitely worth stopping by if you are in the area. read more

Went here on a rainy night for ramen with a few friends. The space is small and it was a busy so we were waiting for quite sometime. I don't recommend coming here if you have a big party. Since we were a big party of 6, they couldn't seat us at a table so we were seated at the bar. It took them a while to get our order. And when they did, it felt like our waitress was rushing us. Their ramen in my opinion was okay. Since we were waiting a long time, our waitress ended up giving us appetizers and a few bottles of free soda on the house which was greatly appreciated! If you come here, I recommend keeping your party small and being prepared to wait during dinner time. read more

Loved this place. We went there for dinner today and loved everything that we tried. We ordered the Takoyaki and they were perfect crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. For the main course, we ordered two Ramen- the Jigoku Special with spice level 2 and it was the perfect spice level for us. The noodles were firm and the broth was flavourful. The second Ramen that we ordered for Uchi Kuro and it had lots of garlic in it (which I loved) . The broth was salty and flavourful. We also asked for fried garlic and chilli oil for the table. For drinks we had water and a Coke. The best part about this whole experience was the server- she was the sweetest!! She gave 2 Japanese drinks and a diet coke on the house. She was so warm and welcoming! I see this place becoming my favourite ramen place in town. It's good a good vibe. read more

Updated review, very much enjoy Ramen 4 real. Small space with fast service. Relatively limited menu, but Ramen comes out very hot and full of flavor. Personal favorite is their spicy miso Ramen. read more

Came back again recently and I still think this is the best ramen in town! While Ramen 4 Real doesn't seem to be hurting for business, I think there's an easy opportunity to elevate the vibe inside. The one thing that is giving the interior a hole-in-the-wall look is the mismatched wall paint. A nice coat of black paint to make all of the walls match could go a long way in uplifting the ambiance. The food here is top notch, and the restaurant deserves to look top notch as well! read more

I love real "word-of-mouth" suggestions. I'm here because a co-worker has been loving it for years. How had I never even heard of it? It first opened in 2017. He said order the Miso Hot 'N' Spicy. This was my first time in a ramen restaurant, and I was thinking it's probably not much different than outa the package at my house! I was kinda figuring something like what I ate in college. Nope. This ramen is elevated! Super tasty. The broth was almost creamy. The char-broiled Pork Belly. Sweet corn kernels. Spicy ground sausage. Aaaand a perfectly-cooked medium-cooked egg. Also bought potstickers. Yup! Super crunchy. And the friendly helpful hostess/waitress knew every person that walked. Decided to try the Bean Balls for dessert. read more

Loved trying this ramen place on a cold rainy day. Their potstickers are amazing. The hostess also gave us complimentary spicy sausage appetizer. We each got ramen and it was full of noodles, extra pork, egg, spinach and seaweed. I got no spice but added chili oil. The broth and noodles are good, not amazing. We arrived right at 12N when they opened and the restaurant filled up quickly! There were a few reserved tables, lots of bar seating and a handful of small tables in the seating area. The restaurant is small but service is extremely quick, food is good and portions are generous and filling. We couldn't finish our bowls after also enjoying the appetizers. read more

My first visit here, came right at 12 when they opened up. So let's break it down, I've had ramen in both San Francisco and Chicago, some of which is direct transplant straight from Japan. For Reno, this is cool to come check out if you are craving ramen. But to me, this just doesn't hit it for authentic ramen if you have ventured around a bit to truly experience what it is supposed to taste like. Service was great, food came really fast, and our server was very friendly. Noodles were decent, broth was fine, but absolutely lacking depth. Thing for me is, I've had some really great ramen, and I even make ramen at home to fill the void of Reno not having anything that compares to true ramen. This definitely will not keep me from making ramen at home. True ramen eggs should be marinated and brown on the outside, these were not. I could almost overlook that, but the Chashu really disappointed me. I'm not sure if it's because I came right when they opened or what but ours doesn't even look like everyone's else's pictures. I was really looking forward to the Chashu itself because it does take a long time to make and I'd love to find somewhere in town up to my standard. Ours came cut almost paper thing like lunch meat and did not really taste like anything other then plain pork slapped on a flattop. Total bummer for me, consistency is everything, and the second the Chashu hit the table my mind went, "hey what gives?" No idea if maybe the rolled logs just weren't ready quite yet so they cut them thin to keep them from being hard to chew. This was a total bummer. The other thing, the bathroom, is clearly having drainage issues, there is water up to the top of the drain, and MAN did it smell bad, the smell of backed up drain water is hard to miss, and very unique... read more

This is hands down the best ramen spot in Reno! It's a small, intimate setting so just keep that in mind cause it can get very busy, but they turn tables very quickly. The menu is small and simple but don't be fooled, all items pack a flavorful punch! My favorite is the Uchi Kuro. So garlicky and rich. Perfect for the rainy day that we had today. Paired my ramen with a Sapporo which was the best combination. The woman that owns this is so nice every time I'm there. She even gave us complimentary bottles of soda when we were leaving. read more

I've been a couple times and the service is outstanding! They have a limited menu, but when you want ramen you don't need it! Unfortunately, the ramen broth is lackluster at best. It has the mouthfeel of good broth, but no real flavor even after trying 3-4 different things. It's a small location close to downtown, so watch the signs for where you should and shouldn't park. read more

So we came here and the ambience was great, the menus was vast and had a wide selection. The ramen was solid but as Solome who has sampled many ramens I'd put it at a solid mid tier ramen shop. The server was kind, attentive and helped us out and make our decisions. I will be back to try other options and found this as a great cold weather option but it just didn't shine in my eyes. read more

Ramen For Real has become one of mine and my boyfriend's go-to spots. We come here all the time, and it's always a great experience. The owner is incredibly kind and really on top of taking care of her customers -- she checks in, makes sure everything tastes good, and you can tell she genuinely cares. The wait time is never bad, even when it's busy. The food is amazing. The pot stickers are always crisp and flavorful, and the miso hot ramen (level 3) is absolutely delicious if you like spice. It has the perfect heat without overwhelming the flavor. It's just one of those places we keep coming back to because everything -- the food, the service, the whole vibe -- is consistently great! read more

Everyone knows that our family loves Ramen. This was my son' s choice for a small celebration dinner, and it didn't hurt that it is close to the house. We were gifted some gyozas on the house, which were great but the star of the show was definitely the ramen. I had the Spicy Miso, it was unctuous and flavorful with good umami and a nice kick from the chilies. The pork was cooked well and went perfectly with the miso. My wife and son also really enjoyed their ramen, all of which were quite large and very filling. The restaurant itself is comfortable and inviting. The lanterns and neon add a nice touch of Japan to the building. Everyone that works there was quick to refill our drinks and offer recommendations but the waiter that took care of us was world class. I look forward to coming back many more times. read more

Ramon 4 Real the place was small and very popular by how busy they were. We were both not that impressed with the flavor profile of our ramon which we found to be surprisingly bland. The service was prompt and efficient and the speed at which our food was prepared and delivered was impressive. The potstickers and takoyki were delicious. We were given free Japanese soda at the conclusion of our meal which was really rather nice. read more
