    Original Tori Ramen  Phone did not eat first this time
    Elena B.

    Okay this spot is a solid spot for sure! I've been coming here for years! The service is always great! Shout out to Bruce! Drinks and food are always a hit! Only complaint is pricing but it's on magazine so can't really fault them! Their HH is solid too! Love the laid back vibe here! The music is always good here!

    Arnette was great. Fast service, great customer service . The lychee martini was good! I had the miso ramen bowl, and it's a 10/10! The mushrooms made the dish. My first time having this, and I am satisfied! Great service, great playlist, ! Will be back

    Little one wanted ramen, so we decided to come here since we've never been. Nice location with a good amount of seating. Wanted to keep things simple, so I started with the original tori ramen to get a good grasp of the flavor. Myself having mostly traditional tonkotsu broth which is pork based, I wanted to see the difference that chicken gave for ramen. For me, it didn't give me that umami flavor and was more on the salty side. The added homemade chili crisps gave it a nice touch though. The Chicken teriyaki skewers were pretty basic for me. The chicken itself was pretty bland and was drizzled with teriyaki sauce on top. Probably wouldn't get it again. Overall our ramen experience was pretty good which the server came throughout our visit. Would definitely come back again.

    Still my favorite Hapoy Hour and best salad in Nola- Lychitini ($8), HH trumpet mushroom kale salad ($11) & the pickle plate ($5) two meals worth but you'll eat it all anyway 3:00-6:00 weekdays

    Original Tori Ramen (add extra pork belly; add fried tofu)
    Liz W.

    This review is based on take out order. I called a little after 11am when they open, ordered 4 ramen, got in my car and drove over. By the time I got there (maybe 10 minutes), the order was ready for me at the counter. Very friendly greeting when I walked in. We ordered 2 Original Tori Ramen (one with extra pork belly and add fried tofu) and 2 Miso Ramen. The pork belly is amazing! Great flavor and seared slightly crispy like thick cut bacon but better. Nice flavor to the broth - not too oily and lots of body. My friends liked the Miso ramen but were a little confused by the egg being served whole still on the shell. They thought it'd be peeled and cut in half like the egg in the Tori ramen. Either way, would definitely come back. Great experience.

    I heard great things about Union before going, and they did not disappoint. I've been three times now and they have blow it out of the water on all occasions. My favorite dishes so far are the crawfish and shrimp lumpia and the watermelon and pork belly. The shishito peppers are super yummy too! I never had Musubi before. I wasn't in love but it was good. The Ramen was excellent. And huge portions. I don't think I could eat much other than that if I was by myself. Do not sleep on the spot. And do not skip the small plates.

    We went to Union Ramen for the food and the Anime movie night. It was a great date. The waitress was fast and very helpful. They have a nice happy hour menu from 3-6, $2 off the Super Saiyan Ramen, and complimentary Togarashi popcorn. We left entertained and full.

    I ordered the Tori Ramen for delivery through Uber Eats, and it arrived perfectly packaged and piping hot, with the broth thoughtfully kept separate. I only wish I had the chance to dine in because this ramen was fantastic. The noodles were cooked al dente, giving them the perfect bite, while the broth was rich and deeply flavorful. The roasted pork was tender, soft, and melted in my mouth--truly worth trying. Tori Ramen - $25.35 Add-ons: Corn ($0.75), Roast Pork ($3.00)

    Confit Oyster Mushroom Salad
    Matt J.

    The Confit Mushroom Salad at Union Ramen is an excellent dish that is a strong addition to the more typical menu at a ramen house. Though it's called a starter, it is easily an entree and was a very welcome vegetarian option in world of meat-heavy broths. The combo of the addicting mushrooms with kale is unusual for this cuisine and I decided it was a must-try during our New Orleans trip. It didn't disappoint. My only nit is that the ratio of kale to the other ingredients was too high. Either there should have been less kale or more of the mushrooms, dressing and soy nuts. Bites with all the ingredients were phenomenal but I had to work through a fair amount of under seasoned kale to get to them. Otherwise, no notes. The restaurant is bright and spacious with friendly service, solid for a duo but also a great choice for a bigger group. Even if you're a devout carnivore, give the kale and mushrooms a shot (an extra side of the latter wouldn't be a bad idea).

    This is my first time in Union Ramen and I'm so happy we decided to come here! Service is fantastic, music is great and the overall experience has been wonderful. I'll be back!

    If you can appreciate a savory broth, extra season, tender meats, and a good noodle to slurp. This is your hot spot okay, and I mean that cause I burnt my mouth trying to get it in. The feel in this place is calming and bright, the service was nothing less than expected. They were attentive and if you were into the culture and backgrounds of it they were ready to share. First off I don't like breast because it's more along the tough part of the body I can't appreciate. But my waiter convinced me it was a bop. So I tried and was not disappointed, I thought I was eating a well cooked thigh that thing was so tender. I can't even phantom how that happened but it did. When it comes to noodles that can be a tricky thing because either they're right or a second away from either hard or mushy. And this place has the technique down pat. This is an all year round place to kick back and relax, get some work done, or get chatty with the girls over their amazing drink selection that comes with an interesting mixologist. She was definitely creating purple history, might I add that was the star of the show.

    One of the better ramen spots in New Orleans! The staff is friendly and very welcoming. The inside is set up nice with usually an anime show on the tv. Music selection is great, a welcoming surprise in a good way. The menu has a little bit of everything for everyone. The one thing I'm not a big fan of is the chicken, the few times I've had it, it has been a bit tough but not a huge complaint. Will continue to go back every time!

    The food is so good. This isn't my go to spot for ramen, but this place has fresh and amazing food. I had a lychee martini at the bar at Union, I literally felt like I died and went to heaven. They definitely have the best pork buns in the city. The spot is small, but it's super clean. The staff is chill and friendly. The vibes are immaculate. They have music quietly playing in the background; and it's actual hits. Check it out if you're ever Uptown. They have my heart.

    Are reservations recommended for the weekend?

    Do they have mock tails over there?

    They have a full bar spread so I don't see why the bartender couldn't come up with something for you.

    Are the noodles house made?

    No they are not.

    I had been to New Orleans since 1987 to attend JazzFest until my near death and rebirth in 1999…read morewith Celiac disease about 6-7 times. After I was diagnosed with Gluten Intolerance as a foodie I thought my culinary life was over and one of the many, but not only joys, of going to Nola is the food. I was reluctant to go and then a bit later 20 years ago Katrina hit this great city. When I did return my reluctance of going due to my food restrictions was born out, but the fact that the people in New Orleans fry everything, including water. Besides jambalaya and some fresh fish, I couldn't eat anything. However, due to a friend who was born in New Orleans, grew up in New Orleans and lives half of the year there with her family involved in the restaurant business, Pat introduced me for a number of chefs and one in particular, Michael Gulotta, who modified dishes or even made me specially dishes that were gluten free. Every time I went to New Orleans, I tried to go to his two Vietnamese Cajun restaurants, MoPho and Maypop. Michael Gulotta, chef-owner at Mopho and Maypop was born and raised in New Orleans. Michael began cooking in local restaurants at a young age. After graduating from the Chef John Folse Culinary Institute, he joined the newly opened Restaurant August. Gulotta then took leave to train in the Italian Riviera and Germany's Black Forest. When Hurricane Katrina hit, Michael returned home to help rebuild and assist with August's re-opening. He was named chef de cuisine in 2007 and led the award-winning kitchen for six years, while establishing relationships with local farmers and purveyors. He opened his first restaurant, MOPHO, in January of 2014 with his brother, Jeffrey Gulotta, and high-school friend, Jeffrey Bybee. Located in New Orleans' Mid City, MOPHO was a true neighborhood restaurant and a destination for Southeast Asian inspired cuisine utilizing the Louisiana pantry. In its first year MOPHO was nominated for America's Best New Restaurant by Bon Appétit magazine and named Restaurant of the Year by New Orleans Magazine. In 2016 Michael was named one of Top 30 Chefs to Watch in the nation by Plate Magazine, A New Orleans Rising Star by Starchefs, a Best New Chef by Food & Wine magazine, and Chef of the Year by New Orleans Magazine. In 2017, his team opened its second full-service restaurant, Maypop, in the Central Business District of New Orleans. Maypop was named a Top 5 Best New Restaurant by The Times Picayune, A Best New Restaurant by New Orleans Magazine, a New Orleans Top 20 Restaurants by Condé Nast Traveler, and a New Orleans' Top Ten Restaurants for 2019, by Brett Anderson. Michael has also been a semifinalist for The James Beard Awards Best Chef South for the past four years. Most recently, his team opened a second MOPHO location in the new Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. On my trip to New Orleans this past May, I was saddened to learn that Michael was closing MoPho and Maypop, casualties of the so difficult business of owning a restaurant I know all too well. After JazzFest one evening on MoPho's second to last day, Pat and I went to pay our respects and I got to thank Michael for his kindness showing me there was culinary life after my diagnosis not only at his restaurant but when he catered the main stage at JazzFest, but he also introduced me to more fusion possibilities which I have incorporated in some of the food I make. On the last day of Maypop, my brother Jeff and I dined at Maypop, Michael's more upscale joint which served delicious food and not to be undone, after both closed on that Sunday in May, I saw the MoPho at the airport right in front of my terminal to fly home and I got the greatest wings on the planet to fly home with: CRISPY CHICKEN WINGS WITH NUOC MAM CARAMEL. I have no idea what exactly that is except Cajun chicken spices with a Vietnamese caramel sauce that is unparalleled in it's flavor, bite and marriage of cultures that was so good Pat would always ask for more on the side. I'm sure Michael will get back in the game at some point but I write this with gratitude to Pat for introducing me to this great Chef and to Chef Gulotta for taking the time to show me what I could eat and what modifications he could make to his food for me.

    Mopho is where New Orleans and Vietnam decided to party -- and it works…read more The hot sausage buns are so good they made me want to propose marriage to a piece of bread. The OG nuoc mam caramel wings are sticky, funky, sweet chaos -- like getting mugged by deliciousness. I left covered in sauce and without a shred of dignity. 10/10, no regrets.
