    Pork Gyoza
    Nick R.

    Phoenixville and the surrounding areas - looking for a good ramen spot without having to drive down the ever so painful 76 to get into the city? Look no further. Uncommon Ramen hits all the right spots with classic Japanese dishes done perfectly. Small and quaint, walking into Uncommon Ramen reminded me of walking into a restaurant in Japan. Service was fast and wonderfully polite and the food came out quick and piping hot. The pork in the boa buns was tender and delicious with the perfect accompaniments to make it the complete package. The takoyaki were crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and tasted as authentic as any I've had here and overseas. The tonkatsu ramen was was true to its name - creamy broth, tender chasu, perfectly chewy noodles. The part that seems to be most difficult for ramen shops seems to be the egg. However Uncommon Ramen nailed it with a cream yoke, even on the extra two I ordered. Satisfying, delicious, authentic. This is my new spot for ramen in the greater Philadelphia area.

    So I went here for dinner with a few friends on a. Friday night. It was just okay in my opinion and maybe it's because my friend hyped it up too much that I was disappointed. I got the tantan ramen it was lightly flavored. So it wasn't too impressive. I did add an egg and the egg was probably the most impressive thing about the ramen dish. My other friend got the soupless tantan noodles and thought it was ok. The pork bao bun with the hoisin sauce was good. The chicken Bao bun with the aioli is better than the chicken with the hoisin sauce but it's just shredded chicken on the bun so I wasn't all that wow'd by it.

    Delicious ramen spot in downtown Phoenixville! Ok, so this place has 3.5 stars as of the time i'm writing this review, and i kinda get it. Don't get me wrong, i love this place and I order from it frequently during the colder months. First off, the appetizers. The gyoza are delicious, both in the pork sweet ginger sauce and the spicy chili sauce. My go-to is the pork gyoza in the ginger sauce and the chicken dumplings in the chili sauce. I personally find the pork dumplings a little bland without that sauce, imo. Also, bao buns, yum! however, two buns for over $10 is steep in my opinion, and they are okay, but not ground breaking. I generally avoid them at this point since i find the gyoza more flavorful and a better value. Chicken gyoza with spicy chili sauce is where it's at for me. As for the ramen, it's delicious, or some of them at least. The Tan Tan is absolutely delicious, and you can customize the amount of heat you get. I typically get hot, and I ask for half (or less) of the bok choy. They generally let you customize everything that goes in, but for some reason, when ordering online or through a delivery app, you can't customize the bok choy. I personally find it very bitter, and the physical structure of it makes it a bit difficult to eat. The bitterness of the green adds to the flavor of the ramen, but honestly, i wish there was less bok choy in there. The Tori Paitan is quite good, lots of flavor, and again, customizable. The Tonkatsu, on the other hand, is quite bland. That seems to be a thing with this place - bland pork. Not sure why, but stick with the chicken or minced pork instead. Also, top marks for making (almost) everything customizable. Change the noodle type, get extra noodles, add eggs, scallions, etc., whatever you want. That's pretty ideal. And they've always been willing to accommodate my requests, so also ideal. So honestly, i can see why some folks give it three stars, but i've ordered from here far too many times to give it any less than a four. Definitely give it a shot, but stick with the spicy or chicken dishes.

    I REALLY wanted to love this place! I love ramen, and had tried to come to the place several times, but they're only open Thursday through Sunday. (They share the space with another restaurant, Sol Kitchen!) So this was the third time before I actually found them open. However, as much as I tried to love it, I just couldn't. The only thing I can say that's really good is the semi-soft egg. Nothing else had any flavor. The broth was bland, the noodles were tasteless. There was absolutely no seasoning to anything. The thing special about Ramen is the broth. It should be complex and deep, something that takes hours to make. I could open a pack of 25¢ ramen at home, add some vegetables, and have more flavor than what was in this dish. A server came around to ask how things were after we finished. I asked if he wanted to hear that things were fine or if he wanted the truth. He said the truth, so I told him. He said the owner was Cantonese, making that seem like that was the excuse. My reply was it doesn't matter who is cooking, as long as they use good recipes. He could be Cantonese, Japanese, or from anywhere, but if he takes the time to research and get a good recipe, that is fine. If someone opens their doors and calls it "A Ramen place" just because Ramen is getting trendy, well that's not OK and don't expect people who know any better will come back. The best thing I can say is that things are cheap. $11.99-$13.99. I've spent a lot of time in Japan, so I do know a little bit about Ramen. Will I be going back again? Unfortunately, not a chance.

    What to do on dad/daughter date night. Well...While I'm not a huge gambler, I hit the jackpot here. New Raman joint in the hood. We shared the signature Tonkotsu ramen and wow...what flavor! It had just enough spice so it wasn't overpowering the rest of the other fantastic ingredients: I'm talking mushrooms, scallions, tender slices of chicken, a half whole marinated egg, bok choy, well I think. No shame as kept my face in that bowl until there was no more! Also, a few seats outside to people watch on a friday night. No shame to this game! Service was excellent and bathroom was fresh and clean. Really cute spot that looked to seat around 15 so super cute date spot as well. Cant wait to come back!jackpot here. I had the signature house ramen and wow...what flavor! It had just enough spice so it wasn't overpowering the rest of the other fantastic ingredients: I'm talking mushrooms, scallions, tender slices of pork, a whole marinated egg, bok choy, and baby corn. No shame as kept my face in that bowl until there was no more! Also, Tuesdays are Tako Yaki Tuesday where it's half price. Service was excellent and bathroom was fresh and clean. Really cute spot that looked to seat around 15 so super cute date spot as well. Cant wait to come back!

    Spicy ramen with tofu
    L H.

    Stopped in for some nourishment after a massage. I ordered the spicy ramen with tofu and I had such Hugh hopes based on the reviews. Perhaps I misunderstood or am uninformed but I didn't expect a tomato type base broth which made the entire dish taste like spaghetti-o's. The "broth" ultimately dictated the taste of the veggies (mostly corn) and noodles. Needless to say, I was disappointed but hungry as heck so I ate the mildly spicy spaghetti-o like ramen mixture.

    An absolute gem in Phoenixville. You can't go wrong with ordering anything but the bao buns and miso ramen are chef's kiss perfect! Sometimes there's a bit of a wait for food, but it's well worth it! Enjoy.

    The staff was was very accommodating . We initially ordered takeout but we felt very safe to dine in instead. The outdoor seating was good, customer seating was not at all cramped up, sanitization between every customer, staff was wearing masks. They accommodated us and even reheated the ramen dish we ordered. Spicy miso ramen was very flavorful and spicy and filling! Will definitely visit again!

    Tan Tan bowl, Kimchi, and Sunomono
    Nettie B.

    Had been hearing great things about Uncommon Ramen and finally got to try it last night. We got the Sunomono, Kimchi sample, Tan Tan bowl (with half egg), and Tonkotsu bowl. Absolutely loved my Tan Tan bowl, it packed heat and a ton of flavor. The downfall is the size and the hours but it is definitely a treat to visit. Can't wait to stop in again, absolutely loved it!

    See all
