The service was excellent here. We didn't have to want for much because as soon as our drinks started to get low, the server came and asked if we'd like a refill. I was waiting for the other member of my party to arrive and they made sure to ask if I wanted to order an appetizer while I waited. I got the pork gyoza as an appetizer and it was delicious. Usually when I get gyoza at other restaurants they'll pair it with a sodium filled dipping sauce, but they provided something more pleasant at this restaurant. For my main meal I got Spicy Chicken Kimchi (Brothless). This was a seasonal item so it may not be on the menu every time you visit. Everything was delicious and in just the right portion size. Wonderful lunch! read more

Ramen Nara has become one of my favorite spot in Bentonville. I am very picky with food so this says a lot about this place. I come to Ramen Nara at least twice a month. They offer great food and service. Speaking of service, I feel compelled to write this review because of extra service I received today. I came in without a voice (lost my voice from viral infection). When the mail waiter (he is the only constant male waiter in Ramen Nara), realized that I lost my voice, he brought me a warm water with lemon and honey! He sure did went extra mile to accommodate me. If you like Ramen and asian food in general, I highly recommend Ramen Nara, you won't regret it! read more

Ramen Nara - Garlic Oil witn karage ramen - Ramen Near Me - Rogers, Arkansas

This place is still brand new so overtime, it should get better! I had the shoyu tonkotsu ramen (pork and chicken broth with pork belly). Overall, it was good. I believe it could have just a little more flavor but it was definitely fresh. Their noodles are made in-house. The spicy edamame had really good flavor and not too spicy! I was expecting the edamame to be served warm, but it wasn't. It still tasted good but I always like it better warm. They are currently hiring and definitely need more servers, but with them being new I didn't expect perfection. Overall, if you like Ramen, you should try this place out! Update: I had to go back and try something different! Number one was really good! The chef ended up stopping by the table and asking how everything was. He said they changed number two by upping the flavor since they have received a lot of feedback about it needing more. They are really taking everyone's feedback into consideration and trying to keep it at an affordable cost! read more

The garlic ramen bowl was so yummy! Would definitely go back again to try another kind just for funniest, they were polite too!:)

I'm guessing I'm not a ramen noodle girl. I didn't like it, the boiled egg in the soup was the best part of it‍ read more

I'm shooketh!! Do you all know how hard it is for a girl to find authentic asian cuisine out here in Arkansas? Ramen Nara has so graciously blessed us with the gift of homemade Japanese ramen. I'm obsessed over these noodles-- you really just compare it to anything else. And the great thing is each bowl is only $12!!!! That's insane if you put into perspective the quality and authenticity that goes into each bowl. And I love both versions of the noodles- thin and wavy; go wavy if you like yourself a thicker noodle! My faves apps are the citrus wings and the takoyaki. Both have amazing flavor and were cooked to perfection. DO try the takoyaki here if it's a new dish to you.. I've never had better! Anddd DESSERT-- to end what was a very satisfying meal, I had some sesame ice cream(tastes like vanilla bean/coffee) and green tea ice cream! 5 stars all the way and I can't wait until the menu expands! More reviews to come on this place :) read more

This was my first restaurant at Arkansas and I loved it. Being a vegetarian, I ordered all the 3 options I had- Croquettes, Veg Ramen and Vegetable curry with rice. I am definitely coming back for the croquettes and the curry rice. Both were amazing. Some more variations for the veg ramen would be great ! Though interior is super cute and they have lot of tables. My waiter explained the menu well and it was a great experience! read more

The food is very genuine and tasteful. It's always our first place to go. The service is excellent.

Ate here on a Saturday evening around 5:30 pm. Seated quickly and orders were taken. In under 10 minutes we had our food. I ordered the #9, garlic miso chicken ramen. My son got #6 mazemem. Both were delicious and filling. read more

Good to see a veggie/vegan option on the menu for ramen. Veggie broth, tofu and lots of veggies and noodles. Vegans - be sure to order without buttered corn. Overall I'd give this ramen 3.5 out of 5 for flavor as the broth was a bit bland and the tofu had no flavor at all. A little chili garlic oil broth the flavors up to 4 star level. Pleased with quality and quantity of the ingredients just missing a bit on the flavor side. Good enough if you're in the area and in the mood, but not my favorite. read more

Ramen Nara - Vegan ramen! - Ramen Near Me - Rogers, Arkansas

I think it's too soon to get a good feel for this restaurant. They are new and still in their "soft opening". It's a very limited menu - 4 entrees. All are about the same with a little variation in ingredients. The food was very bland for my taste, I expected something much more spicy. The building itself was very modern and decorated nicely. Very out of the ordinary for the Bentonville area. Let's give it a few weeks and try to again ansee if it gets any better. Back again. Leaving the review as it is. Food was definitely better than pre-opening. I just don't know if a bowl of noodles, edamame, and a drink should be $20 before tip for lunch. read more

Ramen Nara - Restaurant - Ramen Near Me - Rogers, Arkansas

First time here. Located off Dodson Rd in Bentonville. Appetizer of pork gyoza. Our meals were # 1 Hakata Tonkotzu and #8 Spicy Curry Seafood. The food is fresh with average serving size. Flavors bland to spicy. read more

Environment/atmosphere: Looks and feels like a nice swanky place. Great for bringing a date or taking a client to out to eat. Flavor/appearance: If you've never been to Japan to try a bowl of ramen this will get you pretty close, especially the looks. Side Notes: Tonkotsu Ramen: Too much chicken oil. Also the chashu had two different cuts of meat one was rolled pork belly and the other was a lean meat, almost like a thin sliced pork loin. Karaage: Taste too much like a frozen product read more

It was amazing the service was so fast, and the environment was amazing and the food was delicious

Great food and service. Chill atmosphere as well. Good for date night or family time.

I've eaten here twice and I've been very disappointed in the food each time. It's very bland compared to CO-OP ramen. I will never go back.

This place was just ok for me. The soup was like warm at best. The tonkatsu wasn't as flavorful as I'm accustomed to. Staff was nice and friendly but I def prefer the other spot. Place was clean and nice. I probably will never come here again tho. read more

Fun atmosphere and delicious food. They had some gluten free options which I appreciated.

Came in for my first time and had Kieran as my server! Amazing guy, he helped us through the whole menu and even recommended what I ate and I loved it! Highly recommend asking for Kieran if you go in read more

A pretty solid place and definitely the best ramen in NWA. Sometimes staff/service is a bit slow but the food has always been consistently good. The regular soup ramen options are very good, dipping ramen was okay. Curry items are very good. Apps are great. They have gluten free ramen too - and the chicken karage is gluten free as well. Don't bother with the "side of veggies" though- I got 1 broccoli and a few carrots last time. My SO has lived in Japan before and he approves of this place. I'm sure we will be back plenty. read more

Great Ramen spot! The restaurant is super cute and service was great. We got in and out so quick at lunchtime. Ramen was very good, particularly on a cold rainy day. I got the Hakata Tonkotsu with garlic oil and butter corn added. Add a little of the spicy oil on the table and it was perfection. read more

Without fail, I order takeout from Ramen Nara once a week. My favorite order is: -Hakata Tonkotsu (i.e. the No. 1), without onions. -Always order "Extra Noodles" for an additional $3. Possibly even better than the ramen is the pork gyoza appetizer. Overall, I have to admit that I was surprised to discover a ramen place this good outside of Los Angeles, New York, etc. read more

Had the Miso Tonkotsu ramen and it was amazing. This is the best ramen place around. The curry and gyoza is also amazing here. You can see in the back where they make their noodles. We sat at the bar and Lenta took care of us and made the experience fun. I look forward to eating here again! read more

I have got to remember to stop waiting so long between my visits to Ramen Nara! Had lunch today, and all the memories came back of the delicious ramen I've been missing! This is worth the drive to try wherever you are in NW Arkansas, or if visiting from elsewhere. Quality food....clean and modern decor.......with great service! read more

Ordered online and picked up in store on a Thursday, super easy process which I appreciated! I got the takoyaki because the pictures on here looked so good. I didn't love the shavings on top but the actual pieces were really good. They had a great flavor, the only downside was the pieces of octopus were just little bits that were pretty chewy. Not sure if this is how they always are, but it kind of threw me off. I got the #4 Miso Tonkotsu. The broth was rich and creamy, not quite as flavorful as I would like. The noodles were tasty! The pork chashu was too lean, I prefer it a little fattier, and a bit dry. The inside of the restaurant was really cute when I went in. I would definitely give it another try! read more

Went with some friends and it was lovely! The place is nice, but cramped. They also don't plan for small kids as the tables are set quite close and doesn't do well with high chairs. The waiter was wonderful, but the guy who sat us was a bit clueless. Told him we had four adults and two kids. Sat us at a table for four and took the chairs and utensils for two. I think his idea was that the kids would sit there, but we had two more adults coming and the three year old was going to eat as well.... He then left and we had to ask our waiter to get the chairs and utensils back. Waiter was more than happy to help! We all got the same kind of Ramen, but it was great! Just miso with egg, pork, and veggies. It was wonderful. I will say, my husband said his pork in his Ramen was cold. Like most places like this, they add the pork last and the broth should be hot enough to heat it, but the broth they put in is not super hot. More warm. I did find that the bowls they use DO NOT keep the ramen warm for long so eat quick otherwise it will be cold fast. More a boujee place than a big group or family place. Think more cafe style than restaurant. read more

This restaurant is a gem! There was plenty of parking yet all the tables were full. We were a large group; we had a variety of appetizers and dinners. The food was outstanding, one meal better then the other and cooked to perfection. Our server was fantastic. She was right on top of everything and made sure we were satisfied. I'm from out of town, but the next time I'm in Rogers I'm eating at Ramon Nara! You should also! read more

The late night bar vibe is always so comfy - almost feels like a cafe at day time. Ramens are good and so does the service! Hope there would be more food choices in the future. read more

Finally, a decent place that's less than 4 hours away for some traditional Japanese ramen. Ramen Nara isn't like most other modern ramen places that have ditched the staple broth-focused bowl entirely for flashy fusion fare. They do offer some fun alternatives, but I keep going back for a simple and elegant bowl of ramen near the top of their menu. Even while they are takeout only due to a statewide lockdown! The "#2 Shoyu Tonkotsu Ramen" is a blend of pork broth body and flavor perfectly tempered by the addition of chicken broth. It's an easy filler for the hole that Asari left in my heart after I left Honshu and Okinawa. I also grab some gyoza because I'm a sucker for everything dumpling. All of that being said, don't be afraid to get adventurous for some serious flavor. Apparently their Spicy Miso is hard to quit. read more

Good fresh ramen dishes. A little too much fatty broth in my garlic chicken bowl but everything else was good!

This is our second trip to Ramen Nara. Our first visit was the week they soft opened several months ago. They had a very small menu with only four Ramen options. We really enjoyed the expanded menu this trip- they had several Ramen choices as well as bowls and other items. The owner said that they had updated the menu based on customer requests, which I think is outstanding. We started with gyoza (pork dumplings) and I had the garlic miso chicken and my husband had the mazemen (and added a side of broth). The Ramen was very flavorful and I like how flexible the owner/kitchen is with slight adjustments or changes to your order. The bar offers beer and wine selections - a nice small selection of local beers on tap as well as Kirin and Sapporo. Very casual, relaxed atmosphere and a small bar. You have the option of regular or bar height tables. I'm really looking forward to eating upstairs at some point. Our server was Anna and she was fantastic - great personality and had suggestions and opinions when we asked about the menu. We will be back! read more

Literally our FAVORITE restaurant in NW Arkansas. Our dishes are always excellent and arrive quickly. It's really helpful that there are gluten-free options. The owner's presence provides that personal touch and the servers are always so friendly. The ambiance is low key and relaxed. Love love love. read more

This place is good. I remember originally trying this spot years ago during their opening weekend, and back then, I did not really fancy this spot. Fast forward, we're up in Rogers and decide to give it another go. Absolutely great Ramen is being served there! The pork gyoza taste freshly made from the wrapper to the filling. The black garlic ramen is delicious and scratches that itch when we want a comfortable bowl of soup. Highly recommend for Ramen in NWA. read more

The ramen was exceptional, and the service was kind and prompt. The inside is gorgeous and has a wonderful atmosphere

Spun up into the cotton candy hype & the stellar reviews; I felt to give it a whirl was the smoothest trajectory into possibly falling into a bowl of utopian ramen bliss so I curiously ventured on a Friday evening. Our Meek, demure, lovely & teensy hostess seated us within 20 minutes which was satin class blue fair ribbon worthy as the place was packed with an ever evolving line. Establishment has exemplary enviro swag as it is lovely, large, 60's essence with kitsch, cute retro Asian feel. Curry & sticky rice are staples in my book regarding hierarchical restaurant classing if they splay it on their smorgasbord of dinner options. Effortlessly, I chose the chicken katsu with curry rice & an extra side of curry sauce... Our waiter was 5 star class & just as winsome & accommodating as one can be in the mayhem of a new trendy noodlery on a Friday night in Rogers or Bentonville area... App of the spicy edamame was extra yum with sea salt, sesame seeds & lovely unspecified heat & the wowing crunch factor!! Sadness heaved within my chest as I sullenly mixed & remixed my gargantuan bowl of curried rice with chicken catsu.. Curry bereft & more a reminiscence of the consistency & color of A1 sauce minus the pizazz... Curry, not & well the chicken, yes breaded fried lay limp & flavorless & no soy nor ginger could revive or rescue the waning, overpriced, protein.. Rice was a soggy, gooey mess with vegetables which appeared to be from a can of Veg-All, please reference my pic. We never received our green tea ice cream so I cannot annotate regarding the desserts but, overall felt food was less than mediocre, yet dashing ambience, unexpected service powerfully smashing for such a crowd & sadly felt the shiny flash of newbie tail flicker has lured quite a few wonton folks & I perchance might dip in for a drink but, forecast seems a haboob has muddied my sky & deterred my chances for sauntering back in for a meal... read more

Ramen Nara - Chicken Katsu Curry Rice Bowl... - Ramen Near Me - Rogers, Arkansas

I'm from Dallas and we came here on our way back from a family road trip. We were really pleasantly surprised by the amazing aesthetic and decor or the place! It's very modern and fitting for a ramen restaurant. Right away the servers are extremely welcoming and helpful. They give you great suggestions and were very organised with our group of 11 people. Their chicken karrage is so good! The sauce is to die for and the chicken is fried to perfection :) The ramen is great! It's definitely comparable to some of the best places we have in Dallas. The Chashu is so tender and yummy and the noodles are cooked perfectly. I'd have to say the soup is slightly salty for my taste but for me ramen is usually more on the salty side. The chilli sauce they have on the table is completely home made and adds such a great kick to your ramen. I would definitely recommend adding some if you can handle some spice! The pricing is like most ramen places we have in Dallas. A bowl will run you about $12-14 which is quite reasonable considering everything is hand made and done in house. Overall this place is such a good ramen place that is somewhere you usually would t expect. Anyone passing by should definitely stop by and give it a try! read more

Food was great, service was great. My new favorite place. Quaint surroundings. I will be back.

Even though closed at 2 o'clock, I arrived at 1:55 and they provided to go bowl for me and it was prepared within five minutes and super affordable and super yummy and super fresh. #Vegan noodles is the best way to get those veggies needed to stop this Pandemic. read more
