Perfect casual date night spot for the win!! The appetizers were filling and shareable size. The puns, fries and drinks were great before the main course! Beer selection is reasonable and they serve up a great frozen margarita. The honey walnut shrimp bowl is a 10/10 and I would recommend. Our server Angel and other staff were really great with hospitality and helpful recommendations! read more

This used to be our go to ramen place in EP. I come from a place where ramen is everyone and not all ramen places are the same. A ramen shop is not ramen if the flavors are there. Regardless of the ambiance which is really nice. But they change their recipe and it no longer taste like ramen. It tastes like watered down broth with noodles. It's missing that creamy umami flavor it used to have. I have no idea why they changed it but I won't be returning anymore because of this. It's such a sad thing because me and my family loved it here but the ramen went from being the best in town to literally the worst ramen I've ever had. I could literally make shin and be more satisfied than the food here. I hope you read this and change the recipe back to the original. I don't know why you changed it but I can promise you if you don't change it from where you're at now, this business will go down hill. Service 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Food 2/5 read more

Okay, El Paso -- this ramen spot delivers. I was not expecting to find ramen this good out here, but wow, every bowl that came out looked (and tasted) incredible. First off, the portions are huge -- definitely come hungry. The menu is super creative, with options like birria ramen, pozole ramen, and even a black garlic oil version that adds so much depth and flavor. I love that they let you choose your spice level or add on a chili bomb if you want to turn up the heat. As a vegan, I went straight for their vegan ramen, and it was so good -- rich, flavorful broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and tons of veggies. I also tried the veggie gyoza, which you can get pan-seared, fried, or steamed -- I went with steamed, and they were light, tender, and absolutely delicious. The vibe inside is chill, with that perfect ramen bar energy -- comforting, casual, and full of people slurping happily. You can tell they take pride in what they do here. If you're craving a hearty, flavorful bowl in El Paso, this place is it. Great portions, great variety, and honestly just great ramen. read more

Wish I took a picture of our ramen. The ramen was tasty and loved that we can customize them if we desired. Like that the ramen add-on option was very large. The gyozas were delicious and not soggy. Customer service was good and like the decorative anime style. read more

I had the black garlic tonkatsu and was disappointed. It lacked flavor. My friends spicy to Kats was delicious. I might give them another try and get a bowl or sushi next time. The sampler was good. read more

Service was exceptional. The atmosphere was pretty cool! Miso soup was super salty I had to send it back and they "remade it" tasted the same. The Ramen and chicken rice bowl were super salty as well. Our appetizer was just perfect! The karaage was delicious! Bubble tea was way too watered down. read more

If you want to talk about an interesting and unique place, this is it! It isn't for everyone though as it gives off a "club vibe" with the music blasting pretty loud and lights are low. They had a ton of TVs playing different things! My husband and I really enjoyed the vibe of this place. The food was also so good! We would definitely come back when we are in El Paso. read more

The Chasu was perfect also. Perfect serving of Chasu. The sampler, the shrimp had thicker batter than traditional tempura but it was pretty good. The chicken pieces were too small for the thick batter. The portions were really good. One of the better Asia establishments in EP. read more

I think i finally found a place that makes me feel old! This is by no ways a diss to the establishment but the first thing we got when we entered was the suttle rumblings of the music they were playing. I get it, its a bar/restaurant and they have to build an ambiance of cool and japanese hipness since that seems to be their whole schtick. The drinks are good and cheap, the food is well prepared and their ramen was good, their spicy tonkotsu was good, because their regular one just tasted bland. Also they charge you for chili oil...now I don't know if that's the new cool thing to do in an establishment but...man, that kinda killed it for me as far as wanting to go back and eat there. I always saw chili oil as complementary with a meal in most asian spots and have gotten it for free beforehand so this was just kinda off-putting. Service was chill by the way, not perfect and the drinks took a bit but nothing out of the ordinary. But i would come back here again for their awesome happy hour and their delicious mixed drinks! Also its technically a 3.5 on this one. just fyi. read more

Food was delicious! The broth in the ramen was definitely the star! The shiitake broth in the Nagasaki ramen was very creamy and smooth! The Takoyaki was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside! Absolutely perfect! The server was great and suggested flavors for sake. She was very helpful since it was our first time here!

I saw this spot on one of El pasos IG accounts, and let me tell you, it didnt disappoint. The fried rice spicy tuna appetizer was as delicious as I was expecting. The ramen was also very good and my friend had the fish rice bowl, which was satisfying. The drinks were a little on the weak side but refreshing. The prices were decent, the staff very attentive, and the vibe was pretty relaxing. They played good music while we were there so I was entertained dancing while eating my food! I'm definitely going back to try their spicy lobster tail ramen soon! read more

Busy Ramen place with flavorful and unique choices. Went with some friends, their appetizers were pretty tasty. I would stick with the Ramen, their rice dishes are OK. They also have nice drinks, that are strong. Ambience is better for dinner. As it's very lively and has more darker lighting. read more

The pork belly sliders were great! I had the poke, it was very filling. Cool ambiance and friendly servers. They also have draft Japanese beers which is hard to find here. read more

I thought it was so good. Excited to have a good Ramen place on Zaragoza . It taste just like Silverlake Ramen, which I love but it's so far and I live Far East. I will return definitely. Also, fun atmosphere here, playing cool music , super young vibe. Picture after I stirred it up but had Tofu Tonkotsu w Shitake read more

It was pretty good. The pork was a little chewy, broth was really good, egg was a little uncooked like a 6 min boil but it wasnt bad.. that was actually really enjoyable, the ramen wasnt as cooked as im used to and you could see it was still clumped. Ramen was still good though. Overall the service was good. Some of the helpers were good as others were inattentive. The greeting and seating time could use work. I guess i can say it was an average experience. 6.8 of 10 read more

This was amazing food. What made this place stand out was the broth. I had the seafood bowl. At first I didn't want to rest it because it looked like a work of art. But ohh what flavor it had. The only drawback was the wings we had as appetizers. It came with wasabi that had some flavor but not much of a kick like it should have. read more

The most amazing vegan ramen I've had outside of LA. We had the vegetarian gyoza, Ichiban beer, the vegan miso ramen with chili bomb add-on and a custom made vegan ramen. The sauce on the gyoza was chefs kiss! The chili bomb definitely made the ramen spicy and great for a chilly day, extremely comforting. My partner custom made his vegan ramen in which the black garlic add on was the clear winner! The tofu in my ramen was beautifully cooked. Wonderful experience. The restaurant is an anime lover space for sure! Clean restrooms! I absolutely loved it, wish it were close to where I live! We were only passing through El Paso, and I'm so glad we stumbled on it. Highly recommend this restaurant, I hope more people leave good reviews here as it is well deserved! read more

Loved their spicy tonkatsu ramen last time I came in so we came back. I got the chashudon this time and was super disappointed. I was expecting whole pieces of meat and I got teriyaki sauce soup with random that looked like the meat that comes out of a can of chicken. It was so salty from being drowned in teriyaki sauce it was almost inedible. I just got rice on the side and picked out some of the pieces of meat. I feel like they could have at least given the extra rice for free. Stick with silver lake for chashu bowls. read more

Whether you go for ramen or one of their many rice combos, the food here is absolutely amazing. Definitely get the appetizer sampler. The ambiance is great. Half of the TVs are constantly playing anime, while the other half have on sports. The service is similar to overseas where you press the button at the end of the table for service. read more

The staff was nice and the ramen went too bad. Just nothing to write home about. I thought the noodles were a bit heavy and slightly undercooked but the service was good. Not sure if I'd go out of my way for the ramen here, but a good "been there, tried that" place. read more

The ramen is actually pretty good at this place and the service is usually always on point. They have a decent variety of ramen as well as other dishes and appetizers if ramen is not your thing. Overall it is all pretty good and I would recommend it if you are in the mood for ramen and other snacks. My only complaint is how the girls are now dressing, all of sudden they started wearing just sports bras and tiny gym shorts. Last time I checked I was at a restaurant, not a gym. Now I know I know, but I'm not being insecure or anything like that, it's more geared towards avoiding establishments as a woman that sexualize and demean women's bodies. Why must we always do that? I don't see the guy waiters in tiny shorts and tank tops, so why just the women? In my opinion it just breeds a sexist and misogynistic culture within the business which is unhealthy and bad for moral. If your food is really that great and you're confident in what you're selling, you shouldn't need to sexualize and demean the women working for you by making them wear skimpy outfits. But I guess that's just my opinion as a woman, after all we are more than just our bodies... read more

I love this place and come here often been here many times and the food is great! Except for today. lol service is excellent as always but today the ramen was not on point as it normally is.. it's been a while since I've been here but the fire thing I notice was the corn.. the corn is sour, like it's been added lime on to it.. big mistake, this is something that wasn't done before as it's always sweet but this time the corn was sour.... If this a new thing stop, it doesn't not work.. second was the noodles... again never had to complaint but this time the noodles were not al dente and were little under cooked.. not to much but enough to make a difference.. maybe it can be a one time thing idk , but today the food was meh as oppose to fire like it usually is.. will still come back as this so the first time I've ever had this experience compared to the many times I've been (which been on point) read more
