    Literally the best soft egg I've ever had, 10/10 ramen so good I'm even writing a review. So good I almost called to thank them personally

    Peter J.

    Pretty decent ramen spot overall. The broth was rich and flavorful, and that's honestly the most important part when it comes to ramen--and they delivered on that. That said, there were a couple of things that took away from the experience. First, the presentation of the food wasn't very appetizing. Taste-wise it was good, but visually it could definitely use some work. Second, I really dislike it when servers don't write down orders. Our waiter didn't, and then came back to ask what we had ordered, which was a bit frustrating. Not a bad spot by any means, but with better presentation and smoother service, it could be a lot better.

    The place is cute and cozy tucked away behind another japanese restaurant- Parking a little challenging since the area has quite few restaurants. The staff are kind, friendly and helpful. We order the one was recommended and they were pretty good. The garlic pork rice bowl pretty decent portion and they are so tasteful. We closed up our Friday night dinner with Free Strawberry Ice cream

    Pork Gyoza pan fried

    First let me start by saying someone recommended this place to me so I thought I would give it a try. I noticed when I arrived that there were people waiting outside but I was seated rather quickly since I was alone. They did a quick clean on the table that was still pretty wet when I was seated and smelled like fabulouso. I ordered the pork Gyoza pan fried to start and it took awhile to come out. The presentation was beautiful but they were extremely cold. The waitress said she didn't see them up there ready and asked if I wanted them remade and I agreed. When they arrived back to the table I noticed that it was actually the same plate of Gyoza that I sent back with one missing. All they did was slightly warm them back up but the middle was still cold! I then ordered the spicy miso ramen with pork and added chicken. The broth was pretty good but they forgot my chicken. When the chicken was brought to me it was cold also. At this point I was ready to just be done and leave the restaurant. I waited 30 min while watching the waitress serve everyone around me but not coming to my table. Again I started smelling fabulouso and seen that indeed the tables were being cleaned with it and that alone gave me such a headache. The waitress blamed it on someone calling off today but this was just unbelievable. I doubt that I will be back.

    We Love this Ramen place. The flavors are delicious and never had any problem with servers. We get seated right away and even when we are waiting, it takes no more than 20-30 minutes. My children love this place also and always ask to come back for more. Prices are great but I do with they add more toppings to the ramen.

    Shoyu ramen with extra noodles

    Ramen = 3/5 Service = 5/5 Ambiance= 5/5 This was my first experience here. I want to give recognition to the solo server. She handled orders, served, and lightly cleaned the restaurant as she went. Service and restaurant ambience and cleanliness was a solid 5/5 here. I tipped for this alone. The ramen, however, while quite delicious overall, I found the broth to be a bit lacking in flavor... but everything from the egg to the meat, even the bamboo (which I don't normally take into account) was quite delicious all things considered... hence the odd 3.5 rating. Perhaps I'll order with add-ons next time to raise the broth flavor to my liking. Overall a 4.3 out of 5. Would definitely come back if I'm ever in the neighborhood again.

    I saw that Ramenkoko was top 100 ramen place on Yelp. It happens to be in Highland near my in laws. I had to give it a try. I ordered online. They open right at 5 p.m. The earliest pick up time was 5:15p.m. At 4:57pm there was already one person waiting for it to open. They opened at 5:01 p.m. He said that my order should be right up. It took about 10 minutes. I got the spicy tonkatsu. It was so good! It definitely had a kick but not too bad. The soup was rich. Her was a good amount of pork belly. I added the 2 eggs and I'm glad I did. I would definitely get this again.

    Yes! we definitely will! We have closed for a staff vacation and will be back on the 23rd of August. Thank you! 🙂

    What are the noodles made of? Any Rice Noodle options? My gf has a gluten (wheat) sensitivity.

    Hi Patrick. Unfortunately, at this moment we don’t offer gluten free noodles, but we are definitely looking into having gluten free options in the future. Thanks for checking us out!

    My lady and I love this place, it has good food and seating is always available. I recently got…read moreadult braces and am miserable, the food here is very easy for me to eat. The quality makes me feel like I'm not missing out on too much with my now limited food options. I personally enjoyed the beef ramen as well as the fried shrimp. My lady eats the spicy ramen and enjoys the taste. Service so far has been excellent, the servers are attentive but not too in your face. I am a public worker so when I'm out I don't always like wait staff that is too intrusive. In my experience the severs here help, bring extra water and don't bug you or ignore you. The atmosphere has been great the few times I have gone. My last visit they had a World Cup game on 2 of their large tvs. The TVs were easily viewable from my spot in the restaurant so if I chose to watch the game while eating I could do so easily. While it may not be for everyone I try to frequent this location at least once a month, I plan on heading there again after 4th of July.

The Karaage Chicken was crispy and the dipping sauce for it make it chefs kiss. It was sweet, tangy, and had a little heat to it. I loved the crispiness of the gyoza dumplings but some people might feel they're too crispy. I had to get the Gyu set again. It comes with Filet Mignon Miso butter, Kalbi, and Shaved Ribeye. It also comes with Shishito Peppers and Mushrooms. You grill these items to your liking. That yuzu butter on those filet mignon medallions is fire. The meat is so tender and I suggest preparing it to medium rare. The kabli comes marinated and it gives it a nice sweet glaze after grilling. I like these with a little char on the edges. The shaved ribeye has no flavor but I like to grill it with a little bit of the dipping sauce poured on it. The service was amazing. Yvette was our waitress again and she's absolutely fabulous. I will always request her if she's on shift! She's tentative and on point with her level of service. The ambiance has an Asian contemporary feel. There's TVs with closed caption to watch, artwork on the walls, and during the day the natural lighting comes through nicely. They do offer a happy hour but we missed it. I'll definitely be returning again...

The fish tasted fresh, portions were good, and everything came out pretty quick even though they were busy. All you can eat is the way to go n We ordered a mix of rolls, plus some appetizers, and nothing missed. The sushi had a good balance--not too much rice, not overloaded with sauce, just clean flavors. Service was friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. The place itself is pretty casual, but that actually adds to the vibe. If you're in the area and want reliable sushi without overpaying, this is definitely a spot worth checking out. I'd come back.

    Kind and decently fast service. Though the menu says "Sushi/Nigiri", they only serve nigiri. It was…read morea nice touch that we received dessert on the house, which was a matcha ice cream! 6/5 - Sexy Salmon (back) - Savory and delicious, and the star of our meal. The sear was perfect, and the green onion topping and sauce, along with the small slice portions made this easy and fun to eat. Definitely try this in your first round! 5/5 - Shooting Star (front) - Very savory and delicious! If you like the cajun flavor with the spicy aioli sauce, this won't disappoint. The crunch from the tempura shrimp with the texture profile of the crab and rice makes this a very satisfying roll! 5/5 - Carpaccio - This was actually one of the best carpaccio dishes I had gotten, and I think it is due to the seasoning. You only get one order per person which is typical of other AYCE sushi places, but definitely something to savor! 5/5 - Bluefin Tuna - This is limited to one order per customer, but it was the first time I had eaten a bluefin tuna at an AYCE restaurant that tasted like bluefin tuna from Japan. This is more toro than chutoro/otoro, however it did have that distinct bluefin tuna taste. Impressed! 4/5 - Dynamite - Interesting baked roll dish. Served under a small flame that dies out, it was a very savory, easy-to-eat dish with chopsticks. However, it felt a bit overcooked by the end of the flame, which understandably can be hit-or-miss. Definitely try it out, as this kind of dish is typically rare in AYCE restaurants. 5/5 - Del Rosa and East Highland - These are both the same No Rice Roll just with different wraps. The fish serving was generous and we were impressed! The sauce complemented both perfectly. 4/5 - X-Girlfriend and X-Boyfriend - Pretty much the same No Rice Roll but with different fish. Kind of tastes the same from the other No Rice Rolls so I would just get one order to try it out. 3/5 - O.M.G., Pizza, and SBD Hill - About the same flavor profile with the creamy sauce with the seafood that is placed on top of California rolls. You can probably do with just one of these rolls whichever appeals to you. Of course, it is not exactly the same, but we didn't really care to figure out which was which as we were eating it. 2/5 - Flying Dragon - Was not particularly impressed with this dish. There was a lot of rice served for a thin slice of eel and white fish. The sliced onion was OK, and it did not seem to complement the dish significantly. It seemed more like a separate item placed on top of the roll. 3/5 - Cajun Tuna Nigiri - Decent tuna nigiri. I thought the slices were very thin, so the sear actually went through the whole fish rather than just at the surface which would have made a two-texture profile bite. However, it just seemed dry due to the seared thin slice. 3/5 - Cajun Salmon Nigiri - Same issue with the cajun tuna nigiri. It was seasoned well with the cajun, but the thin slice of the salmon made the sear more of a "cook" rather than a seared surface. 4/5 - Regular Salmon Nigiri - Typical salmon nigiri flavor with regular portion of rice. I think it is beaten out my other AYCE sushi restaurants that are generous with their fish portion and provide minimal rice. 1/5 - Shrimp Boat - This dish was very disappointing. While it is advertised as shrimp with crab meat, our whole group found that it was an overwhelming amount of crab meat and could barely pick out the shrimp. Difficult to finish especially in the 2nd half of our meal. Granted due to being a tempura roll, it was served later. 1/5 - Lobster Ball - This dish was also disappointing. While it is advertised as lobster with crab meat, we barely found a difference between this and the shrimp boat aside from shape. Even with the pictures, the size was larger than we expected. Difficult to finish especially in the 2nd half of our meal. Granted due to being a tempura roll, it was served later. 3/5 - Calamari - Huge portions but could have been salted more. Good crunch but I would hesitate on finishing this portion because you might get full! 3/5 - Shrimp Tempura - We ordered 4 orders of this and only received one order (2 pieces). Decent fry and could also be salted a bit more.
