I stopped in on a whim, parked on the street, saw this spot, and changed plans last second. Very glad I did. Walked in and it immediately had that legit ramen shop feel nothing fancy, just cool old wooden tables with scribbles all over them and a really laid back vibe. I was solo so I sat at the bar and watched them make the ramen, which was honestly pretty cool. Didn't take long at all either. I got the pork ramen and halfway through I was already thinking I should've ordered two. Broth was super rich and buttery, noodles were perfect, and the pork had that slight crunch that just makes it hit. Staff was really friendly, place was clean, no complaints at all. Don't make it to Fargo often, but this will 100% be a stop anytime I'm back. read more

Technically, I'd give them a 3.5, but half stars aren't an option. The service was meh and the facilities were dirty, but the food was pretty decent. The ramen noodles were good with a nice QQ texture and the broth was flavorful. I've spent most of my life in Asia and have had many bowls of ramen over the years. The flavors were good but not true to an authentic tonkotsu ramen broth. I would go with the expectation of having a nice, soothing, warm bowl of soup noodles, and you will be satisfied. If you're going in with the expectation of everything being authentic, etc...then you will be disappointed. Far from the best ramen I've had, but it's good for when there aren't a lot of Asian food options available in the area. I'd like to address that is 100% acceptable to slurp your ramen--it's actually expected. Although considered rude in most western cultures, slurping noodles is normal and expected in Japanese culture. In fact, not slurping your noodles is considered rude and an insult to the chef. If that weirds you out, no worries! You're in a ramen shop in North Dakota...no one cares if you're being 100% culturally compliant. But don't be afraid to try it out for the experience! read more

Terrific Ramen. I hate, "slupping". It's the worst part of the name. The Ramen, however is great. Don't be a slurping animal. Is it that necessary? read more

Slurp Ramen - Ramen time. We will let you know! - Ramen Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

A year since our first two visits, we stopped by Slurp for a quick meal after a day of work and running errands. The location is new, but the menu is still the same. Space is still shared between Drunken Noodle and Slurp Ramen. Food essentially comes from the same kitchen, but one half of the kitchen is dedicated to Slurp, while the other is Drunken Noodle. Quality is still same as a year ago. Delicious and flavorful food. We went with our now favorite, tongkatsu and crispy pork belly on rice dishes. Not disappointed. We'll be back, and certainly a year between visits is too long a wait... read more

The weather had turned just cool enough to justify a hot bowl of Ramen... Really I did not need much convincing as I love Ramen... the broth, the noodles, the gently underdone egg... yolk yielding it's fatty goodness, tampering the saltiness of the dish. Comfort food at its best... good for any meal, and that includes breakfast. I love the feel of the place, like a food stall... the smells beckon and entice the moment you walk in this ally of a restaurant. I should say restaurants. Slurp Ramen is one half with Drunken Noodle. The menu is to the point (i.e. not the phone book sized monstrosities of a place trying to be everything for every one). Here, you want noodle... you got noodle, and maybe a few other items. You don't like it, tough. read more

Preface: Not a local. I've mostly eaten ramen in Tokyo and the Bay Area. I tried spicy miso, tonkotsu, and shoyu. 5 stars not for excellent ramen but to support the continued existence of a decent (currently) ramen joint in Fargo. The portions are large and price point is fair. The decor is fun as well. The 3 broths I tried all lean toward sweet. Since there aren't traditionally sweet ingredients in dashi I'm not sure what they've added but I was left with a saccharine aftertaste by the end. The tonkotsu broth could be better. Ideally the broth is a deep umami bomb, made creamy and pale from stewing various cuts of pork (some ramen chefs will add chicken, or dried fish ie sardine, anchovy, mackerel). The tonkotsu broth here was pretty thin and lacking a creamy, rich texture. It was definitely pork and had some depth but the overbearing sweetness really robbed its potential. The eggs are fine, they could be marinated for 2 days to develop a really appealing translucent, dark orange yolk. read more

Best ramen in Fargo! Go to spot for my boyfriend and I. Highly recommend, super cool atmosphere and delicious ramen. The Thai curry sauce is hands down one of the best I've had. read more

Slurp Ramen - Kao Soi and Spicy Miso - Ramen Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

I've been here twice, first time I had the Shoyu and it was bland, there was no real flavor to it and no salt/msg. Second time I had the Tonkotsu and everything was overcooked and still bland. My friend had the Pad Thai and that was much better. For Fargo, considering just how many damned Tavern, Steakhouse, Bar and Grill, and "Wannabe Applebee's" restaurants there are, it's a decent place, but could be better. Also not a fan of their benches being written on, I was worried I'd end up with sharpie or ink on the back of my legs or staining my clothes read more

Shared space with the Drunken Noodle. I ordered a water and asked the cashier where I get it because he didn't hand me anything. He pointed me to the side of the counters where there was already filled cups of ice. I didn't see where water was so asked him again and he pointed to a pitcher and seemed annoyed. How was I supposed to know it was there on the workers space, especially never being there before. The chunky strings of beef were gross. The noodles tasted plain and had little flavor. The dish also had very few carrots and broccoli that were in it. Maybe 4 pieces of each. Really?? For $13 what a waste. First time and not returning or recommending to people. read more

For ramen, I'd say it's pretty meh. I had the pork belly ramen, and it wasn't flavorful at all. It was just a bowl of bland. No saltiness, no garlic flavor, onion, ginger, nothing. I think they just put pork bones in water and called it broth. Even the pork belly wasn't seasoned well, if at all. I think if this place actually put in some effort and time into their broth it could be good, but tonkotsu broth takes at least 12 hours to do properly, and this restaurant (like most "ramen" restaurants in America) probably doesn't want to put forth that effort. The noodles had a good chew, but they were very short, so i assume they are multi-purpose for other dishes. The egg was cooked perfectly, which I appreciated, but a good egg does not a ramen make. The staff was friendly. Bottom line, I probably wouldn't go back. read more

I absolutely love the pork belly ramen. I usually order extra noodles and their Pork Shumai was okay but I didn't go there for the appetizers. Ramen is the best in town. read more

Tried this spot for the first time last week, and both my girlfriend and I adored it! We are big ramen lovers and were thrilled to hear that Fargo finally got it's own spot dedicated to the tasty dish. We felt that it was even better than a couple places we tried in Minneapolis! So, if you're looking for a place to totally fill you up with noodles, broth, and delicious toppings, then Slurp is perfect, just make sure to come on an empty stomach. You won't regret it! read more

Shared space with Drunken Noodle. Friendly staff, fun atmosphere, and delicious food. My boyfriend had pork belly ramen & I tried Pad Thai with chicken. Delicious food which came out quickly. Reasonably priced! So happy we had date night here! read more

Not the best I have ever had, but it was really good. First time, my ramen was too soft and sticky. The broth is good for Shoyu. Second time, I tried Sukothai. Absolutely amazing. Definitely come back to try other dishes. read more

I like the place as a whole but a few things could be tweaked. I mean enough staff and getting a water refill. The biggest thing is getting your order all at the same time too. My daughters were basically done eating almost before my wife and I received our bowls of ramen. That and I know they like the eclectic vibe but how about some cool shirts for the their staff so you know who's working. read more

Slurp Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

Pork Belly and Tonkotsu Ramen are great. I love the open kitchen design of the place as well. Will come and try more food in the future when I'm around the area. read more

The food was good! Not bad for ND! I live in Japan for 4 years and the food here is not bad. But service was bad! The cashiers had an attitude. I asked if the cook put extra bean spout on my soup (paid extra by the way) but when I received my soup there was small amount. Like a pinch of bean spout..... The cashier/server said that's the "extra". And just walked away. Rude! I would have given this place more stars but I don't like bad service! read more

Slurp Ramen is my go-to comfort food!! I get the Khao Soi dishevery single time. If you like spicy, give it a try! Sick? It's guaranteed to clear your sinuses. read more

I was really hoping this was going to be good, but I should have known considering it's part of Drunken Noodle. An acceptable joint when you're 21, up late and want a nibble, but not so great when you're wanting a quality ramen at 6pm. We got the chicken karaage, which was okay, other than the oil it was fried in was clearly way past its prime. The tonkotsu was okay, a little less rich and much sweeter than I've had at other places. The pork belly was pretty good even. The shoyu was no good though - the chicken had the same old oil taste, the broth tasted like movie theater butter, and to top it off, my husband and I both got SUPER SICK during and after eating there. Like, almost missed our movie sick because we couldn't leave the bathroom. Don't think we'll ever be back in any of these establishments. Also, their women's bathroom is disgusting. At least I had lots of graffiti to read as my dinner went right through me. read more

Slurp Ramen - Tonkotsu - Ramen Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

Very nice service, helpful employees. Unfortunately they use packaged mixes to make their soups - I prefer the made from scratch variety. Was not bad overall, their options would probably satisfy almost anyone craving ramen, given the lack of options in the area. read more

I showed up to pick up lunch one day just after they opened and one of the employees was eating, slurping ramen from a cup, standing up, directly over a cutting board where food is prepped. I watched a noodle fall from his mouth back into the cup. They also have a sign on the window that says they're no longer open late nights because of "lack of staff." Not good omens for slurp. read more

Delicious not the best ramen ive ever had but very good must try the porkbelly ramen and pot stickers! Perfect for a hangover or a cold afternoon! read more

I hate giving bad reviews but this was place should have the work Instant Ramen in it's name.. I get it we're in the Midwest but soggy bland raw Panko on kaarage and no flavor. The broth was sweet and tasted nothing like a half legit ramen bowl. Seriously my husband said we could've just made instant ramen and saved ourself a few bucks. It was bad. And the service was unfriendly. Yeah so we went once and we're good, we don't need to go back read more

It was okay. I ordered the spicy miso, and I was underwhelmed with the food. Kinda felt shorted on the noodles and the pork. Flavor was inconsistent and extremely salty. Worth a shot, probably will give it another go later. It's ramen in Fargo, do not know what I expected. read more

I'd love more than anything for Fargo to have a legit ramen joint. This is not it. The ramen was bad. Anemic broth. Mushy noodles. No substance and week. They're getting away with it though, being the only place in Fargo serving "ramen". Tonkotsu broth should be rich and flavorful. This was not. It was week and without the deep pork flavor you're looking for. It is a letdown. The service was ok. read more

The pork belly is absolutely amazing! I could literally drink the broth. Highly recommend. Only down side is that they don't do takeout.

I had high hopes for this place until I discovered it was joined at the hip with Drunken Noodle. You order at the same counter as Drunken Noodle, which the first time I was there I had to ask for a menu at the counter where the guy just stuck it on the counter. I visited twice, both times the help seemed disinterested. The food was okay, their broth seemed weak and had an odd flavor. It didn't feel or taste like a proper pork bone broth. There are also no obvious customizations such as making it spicier. I would advise the owner(s) / management to visit Jinya in Houston, Texas for ideas to improve. read more
