This is obviously a small business-locally owned and run. I love these types of places and tend to support them before going to a larger, chain restaurant. That said, I recognize that with a smaller restaurant, there might be some kinks that larger places may not deal with. For example, fewer staff members can slow down service, etc. My experience here was pretty good-attentive server, however there were a few hiccups with the food. My friend and I ordered the Super Ramen, which comes with an egg. Neither of ours had the egg when it was brought to our table, so we asked about it and they brought them out promptly. No biggie! My friends' husband ordered the spicy ramen, after asking the server how spicy it was. The server said it wasn't too spicy at all, but it ended up having quite a kick to it. Maybe I have weak friends, or maybe the spice level was more intense than they'd expected. Unfortunately, it only got halfway eaten. Even though you order at the table through a server, you pay at the counter. It wasn't clear if we bussed our own tables or not, but we left it, assuming that they take care of things. Overall, it was an ok experience-might be worth another try on a cold ramen-worthy evening.
The flavor of the ramen bowls are amazing. This place was unbeknownst to me as I normally just go to Trader Joe's. I am very sad that I have had the tastiest, well-balanced, umami filled bowl of Ramen Noodles. The sadness is not in the food, service, or venue it is in the fact as I ordered the waitress informed me that tomorrow 12/12/25 is their LAST DAY. I wish I knew about this amazing food sooner. But alas they are closing tomorrow. I saw their cool noodle machine and could only wish I could have had these noodles sooner. Small life treasure in having dinner here tonight Thursday, December 11, 2025
Food was so so flavorful and had a lot of character! The homemade noodles are super soft & I appreciate the care that went into the whole meal. Service was very pleasant as well! It really shows when a team is taken care of behind the scenes:) the staff seem to enjoy their job & it helps with the overall atmosphere!
This is a great little restaurant! The service was fabulous. Grady, our server, was exceptionally helpful and very friendly. Our food was really good. The portions are pretty large so we had to take some of it to go. And I got some musubi to take home to my husband. He said it was fabulous! We will definitely be coming back.
Very clean restaurant, even the bathroom. Tonkotsu is super rich and creamy. Their kettles are right up front so you can see their stock is homemade.
Great fresh ramen ! Found this on Yelp and we really enjoyed a early dinner here- Edamame- large Edamame cooked well and perfectly salted ! Super Ramen - soup was very good noodle perfect Hakata tonkatsu Ramen - I loved the soup - noodles well done. They have their own parking lot - serve is good - need to go to the counter to checkout!
We are in town from out of state. We love to find local mom and pop shops. You never know what you'll get going this route. Will it be good or will it be awful. Samurai was absolutely fantastic! The most flavorful Ramen I've had, and I've had A LOT. It better than high end restaurants. This authentic Japanese Ramen is a must!
We needed to grab a quick bite, but were unable to find parking in the parking lot of the original noodle place we wanted to try. I went in with no expectations and a hungry belly. I got the "Spicy Super Ramen" which was served with 2 slices of pork, half a tamago egg, bamboo, fish cake, nori, sprouts, green onions, and topped with a garlic spicy sauce. The broth was rich and flavorful but it wasn't really spicy at all. I personally would have liked more spice, but I also liked that the broth wasn't too overly salty. The fresh in-house noodles were a nice chewy texture which I appreciated. The pork was thinly sliced, but was juicy and tender. Personally, I would have preferred a slightly thicker cut. The soft boiled egg was not pretty, but it was still delicious and is usually my favorite topping in a ramen bowl. The main thing I disliked was that the broth wasn't hot enough and the amount of sprouts in my bowl mainly because it was just a little too much in proportion to the amount of noodles. My friend wanted to try their teriyaki pork bowl. The meat was tender and flavorful, so I did enjoy that, but not sure if it's a must try. All in all, I had a good experience here and they have pretty solid ramen, better than some places in California. If I'm in the area again, I'd like to try a different bowl of ramen.
The wait can be a little long but always worth it. Just prepare. We had the gyoza along with ramen and it was all great. I believe our server was Jordan and he was awesome. We had some customizations and he made sure to get it right and answered our questions really kindly. They were way busy but stayed on top of service.
Cute little mom and Pop with handmade noodles, our variety of broth and flexible substitutions. Had the spicy Ramen with chicken broth and chicken meat instead of pork. Added grade garlic which was a nice touch. Very filling and delicious, would come back. And service was excellent. What's more? They have large bibs so you don't make a mess on yourself! Not the best I've ever had but pretty good.
Came here with friends for a quick bite to eat and truthfully, was not super impressed. The service was quick and nice, but the quality of the food was lacking. I wish the ramen was more flavorful. The gyoza also came out a little cold.
Samurai Noodle was really good. I got the Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen and I enjoyed it. The broth was flavorful and the pork was very soft and tasty. I went with someone who loves Ramen and they enjoyed it so much they came back the next day. We had a large group and the ramen was served really fast. The atmosphere is kind of low end but you are coming for the ramen.

I've been on a ramen kick lately. I think it's because I've had SO MUCH pho in the past few months, and am craving something a little different, but also have you noticed how cold it's been? Phew! Serious soup weather, and Samurai has chosen the perfect time to open their doors to the hot ramen demanding public. They actually aren't officially open yet, in fact they rather adorably have a note on their blackboard stating, "Still working out the kinks." Fair enough, and thanks for the warning, although to their credit I experienced very few kinks on my first visit last Saturday (note: they are waiting on the liquor license because Utah, and they also didn't have any other drink options beyond soda, though tea is coming within the next week). Our server was most definitely new, and not completely familiar with the menu, but that will come with time, and anyways he didn't hesitate when I requested to make some changes and additions to my bowl of ramen. We started with the edamame, which was your everyday steamed and salted version. I was excited to see togarashi seasoning included with the condiments, and that slightly spicy, salty, citrus-y magic dust elevated the edamame a bit. I ordered the garlic shouyu ramen + seasonal mushrooms (besides being on a ramen kick I've also been on a mushroom kick-nom nom nom) + egg. No matter what you should always order the soft boiled egg! The mushrooms were trumpet, beech, and button, and must have been sautéed, but they were not too oily or soft, with an al dente bite to them. The flavor and crunch of the green onions were a delightful foil to the richness of the rest of the ramen, and I'd request extra next time. Noodles were perfectly cooked. The only thing I didn't love was the pork chashu, but I think that cut of pork just may not be my thing. Every time I've had it it's been pretty fatty, though at least this piece was very tender. My dining partner had the hakata tokotsu ramen. It was delicious, though felt a bit boring compared to my lovely bowl. But the creamy, dreamy broth was divine. Loved the kikurage too. I really wanted to try the takoyaki, but my dining partner was staunchly anti-octopus. I'm definitely ordering that next time, though! The menu seemed a bit small, but there were enough options that you could return several times before you'd start to feel like certain elements of your meals had been repeated. Perhaps they will add to it once they are better established. Prices were $9-$13 for ramen, $5 for most of the appetizers, and 2 for $3 for ice cream mochi. The interior of the restaurant is simple and clean. They have a small windowed room which looks like it will display noodle-making, though there was no action there when I visited. When we left the owner (I believe) asked how our meal was, and if we had any suggestions. He was really kind, and genuinely seemed to want to please his customers. We mentioned coffee might be a nice addition to the menu, and he said he hadn't thought of that as his aim is to stay true to the Japanese heart of the restaurant, and he didn't specifically know of any Japanese sources of coffee (though he would look into it). I think that's impressive, and I totally admire his dedication to authenticity. There is a certain ramen chain which I actually really enjoy, but this is miles ahead of it, not to mention I'd much prefer to support a local spot. I haven't tried many of the other popular ramen restaurants in the area, but this was so delicious I'm not in a huge rush to do so - I'd much rather return here! read more
We had high hopes for Samurai Noodle. We walked in we had a feeling we weren't going to have a good experience. We ordered the Super Ramen, and the Vegetarian Ramen. Super Ramen did not have great flavor. Not much there. The Vegetable Ramen with burnt, so the Ramen tasted like the bottom of a pan. The utensils were all shipped and worn. We got a rice bowl, which was very heavy on the rice, but not much of anything else The cups looked like they had been gnawed on. They took the burnt Ramen off our bill without that the rating would've been a one star. Not a great experience. read more
As with John C, I've been to several of the top Las Vegas Ramen places in the last month. The ramen around town keeps getting better, but none have been serious competition for our bigger neighbor to the South. Until now. Everything except the chashu is a match to anything on Spring Mountain Road. They admit it's been tough working with their purveyor and nailing the chashu. It was slightly over braised. No doubt they will get it figured out. That, and getting the alcohol license, will no doubt come. The wife and I had the Shouyu Tonkotsu Ramen and Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen, each with an added egg, respectively. We also got the Takoyaki to start. They bonito flakes were better than normal quality. The dish was nice with the octopus properly cooked. It was a tasty way to start the meal with a dish I've not had before. The Tonkotsu came with the tin buckwheat noodles, the Shouyu Tonkotsu came with the wavy egg noodles. I can see from tasting them why the broth with chicken gets the egg noodles and the pork gets the buckwheat. Personally, I preferred the buckwheat noodles. I would not have guessed that would be the case. There is very little they need to get in place. It raises the bar on Ramen. It's also nice to be in the South Valley, since that' where I visit more. read more

I am a bit torn about this review as many of the problems that occurred I am almost positive are because a staffing shortage. So if you have time and are prepared to be patient- then I would bump it to a 4 or 5 stars. When we walked in there were conflicting signs about if you were supposed to seat yourself or wait to be seated- we did have to wait while they cleared a table for us. And if we had just sat I am pretty sure they never would have waited on us. Our order was taken fairly quickly, but we ended up with our appetizer (Gyoza- which was amazing) before we even got our drinks. Had to ask a few times for drinks. Finally the kid comes out with a stack of cups just washed and gets us our drinks. We never were offered refills- but got up and refilled up our own drinks as the machine is accessible. The staff was friendly and helpful the few times we saw them- though my husbands food was brought out about 10 minutes before the rest of our table-and then they had an extra one and messed up on if the orders.... But it all tasted delicious. So really good food, pretty bad but very friendly service. This is a smaller restaurant- wouldn't be a good space for a group much bigger then 8 or so. Causal atmosphere. Sit down, but paid at counter when done. read more

Go support this small business! Their ramen is hand made and cooked to perfection. The flavor of their house special tonkastsu was superb. There was only one young boy serving the FOH and he was doing his very best even though the business needed more help. This place is great and price for the amount of food was decent! read more

Fast service, friendly staff. We had the vegan gyoza and Japanese green tea to start, then cold sake (which was shockingly great), vegan miso ramen, spicy super ramen, and two kid ramens with no pork, but extra seaweed. Everything was great, start to finish, looking forward to going back. read more

They were just a little behind schedule when I picked up my food, but the food I got was tasty! The edamame is delicious and so is the sumo bowl! The pictures I took were after having eaten some already and not as pretty as when I received the food. read more

This place is awesome! The ramen is so tasty, noodles are made in-house, the broth is flavorful and deep. This is definitely not the watered down broth you get at some places. The service here has also been great every time. We've been here so many times and we'll keep coming back! read more
Customer service was excellent. Staff was very nice and attentive. We were greeted at the door and seated right away. This was a very peaceful Sunday lunch. We ordered the Super Shouya Tonkotsu Ramen. Gyoza and Edamame. The gyoza was so good I forgot to take pics. They were very soft and practically melted in your mouth. Must have appetizer. Edamame: came out steaming hot. One of the better portions I have ever seen for the price. Good size pods on each piece. My ramen was delicious. All fresh ingredients. Excellent presentation. Will keep coming back here. Thanks. read more

Samurai Noodles has some solid ramen options for ramen lovers in the Valley! I reserve 5* ramen reviews for the truly amazing, but compared to other options around town, Samurai is among the best. Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen Broth: Delicious! Thick, creamy, and slightly oily. Just how I like it! I drank every drop. Noodles [straight]: Fresh, made in-store. I liked them, but they were definitely on the starchy side. Chashu: Quite good. Had a smoky flavor. Fatty and tender. The egg was $1.50 extra, so I didn't get it. Nori was also extra. While I balked a bit about having to pay extra for these things, I realized that the ramen was a great deal, at around $9. So compared to the usual $12-15/bowl, the extras weren't really that much. I'd highly recommend Samurai Noodles for a solid bowl of ramen. I'm looking forward to trying their other bowls! read more

Extremely short staffed. Took a long time to be seated, to order food, and be served with food. I see that they are very busy so I didn't want to complain, but the cleanliness and service was very poor! I was provided with this dirty, oily utensil when the food was served. You can obviously see the grease on it. Very disappointed. Would not recommend. read more
Stopped by to try a carry out lunch order. The location is decent with plenty of parking, the shop itself is quaint and small, and it's really nice that their noodle machine is on display. My order came out quickly (there was only other one group there at the time), and the service was very friendly. I ordered the Super Ramen with an extra egg, and some gyoza. This ran me just under $20 before tip. For a carry out order, I liked that they separated the broth from the solid items into separate bowls, allowing me to put them together when I got home. I also like that I received a disposable ramen spoon with my order as well as a pair of chopsticks. Flavor-wise, I have to say it's nothing to write home about, but was still decent. The dipping sauce that came with the gyoza didn't do much for me. I did have a bit of a time separating the noodles which were rather stuck together, all trying to come up at the same time. I did enjoy the pork slices though. I also didn't get my extra soft-boiled egg that I paid $1.50 for, so that was rather disappointing. I would still be willing to come back and try some of their other ramen broths in the future. read more

This is about Samurai Noodle on State in Draper, UT. Food was so so, 3 of us ate, 3 of us had unfortunate bowel issues ALL night. Service was good. Bottled beverage was tasty. Bathroom was one of the most filthy smelly I've seen in a restaurant- oh to have seen it BEFORE we ate! The pangs, the cramps, the hours, the game of musical toilets hoping we made it in time - ugh!!! Seriously, we would have bailed soooo hard. We were doomed & felt it deep in our.... bowels. SKIP THIS SPOT! Unless you're looking to spend some quality time w/ your legs asleep slumped on your toilet cursing the advent of ramen. read more

I love their broth and the pork! Not too fat/oily but just right. However, the ramen noodles itself is quite disappointing. I think it would be way better if the noodles are thicker and the texture is more chewy! read more

Really REALLY good ramen noodles. I got take out from here, and usually take out noodles are extremely hit or miss... but WOW. Really truly delicious. The broth was creamy and flavorful, and the noodles kept their coveted al dente bite. The Korean wings were a bit disappointing. I was hoping for the traditional red Korean wing sauce, but it just came with some mayo. However, the wings were fried well and had a good flavor profile. Overall, delicious noodle restaurant! 5/5 For everything! read more
Very delicious pork and chicken broth, has so much flavor. They season it just right with the perfect amount of salt leaving you feeling warm and toasty afterward. The ramen is very cleanly executed and noodles always done perfectly. Not sure when they make their noodles but it would be cool to see it being done some day in their specially created room and machines they have. Service has always been prompt and our bowls of ramen have come out pretty quickly too. Been there several times now and always consistent making it a go to for my ramen cravings. read more
As a Japanese food lover, I am glad we have a new ramen restaurant in Draper I went there on a Sunday noon, not a white people eat there and we get our table immediately I have to say their Ramen is just ok, the soup is very plain, their noodle is too soft to me. read more

Delicious. I had my ramen delivered, so I can't speak as to the ambience or atmosphere. What I can speak to, however, is the quality of the meal. It's been several years since I've had Hakata ramen, so I can't swear if it's exactly the same, but this bowl was a pretty good approximation of what I ate in Japan! What arrives: a bowl with noodles and the ramen toppings, a container of noodle broth, and a bowl containing a side dish of vegetables (meh, I tossed it, I wasn't interested in the veggies.). I'd ordered extra pork slices and a soft boiled egg, and those arrived in the ramen bowl ready to eat. The noodles are lovely, though if you are getting delivery, after you pour your soup into the bowl, you'll need to let it sit a bit and stir/jiggle the noodles a bit to get them to unstick. Not a huge problem in the grand scheme of things, but definitely not something you'll encounter if you eat at the restaurant. It's just what happens when you transport cooked noodles without soup. The amount of broth seemed like it would be too much for the bowl, but to my surprise, I managed to empty my soup container into the ramen bowl, exactly. Of course, it was dangerously close to overflowing at that point, so don't expect to move your bowl once you pour your soup in. The tonkotsu broth is lovely. I enjoyed it a lot. Meaty and not too salty, it was what I expected from a tonkotsu broth. The noodles are nice too--not overcooked and mushy, but also not too raw. I enjoyed my meal a ton. Five stars, and I will be back. read more
