Be prepared to wait for your food. Good ramen is made to order, so it is not immediately served. If the restaurant is busy, be prepared to wait even longer, but it is worth the wait. The price is incredibly reasonable considering lower quality ramen in the Omaha area is charging upwards of $17 dollars a bowl. The Kara-Age is delicious, and even the spicy tuna roll (a guilty pleasure of mine) is good. The Ambiance is simple and clean. I would recommend it to anyone wanting quality ramen without all the Anime themes and dusty Tchotchkes littering every wall.

Once seated at the bar, our waitress was quick to greet us and bring drinks. Service stayed prompt and friendly throughout. We started with the shumai and gyoza. Both were solid, but the shumai was definitely the highlight of the appetizers. For my main, I ordered the Tan Tan ramen and it was exceptionally good. The broth was rich and full of flavor, with just the right amount of heat. We'll definitely be coming back.

I went with a friend and got the salmon rice bowl, WOW was it good!! Way better than their ramen, it was great fish, a bit of spice, SUPER crisp cucumbers, and fresh bok choy. The service was quick, they took their time preparing the food fresh and it showed. The new canned cocktail they have, 1/2 lemonade and 1/2 tea, was PHENOMENAL! It's a casual spot but if you want to go in for a nice dinner or lunch with your friends, no one will look at you funny for dressing up!

Cilantro broth is both fresh and hearty at the same time. I love how accommodating they are with the dictionary for terms on the menu and a readiness to swap out ingredients to accommodate my vegetarian preferences. The spicy edamame had a true kick to it! Also, you must check out the sake bar underneath the restaurant in the evenings. Small and personal it fits right alongside Ika's vibe and includes some new cocktails.

An important note first: Kathmandu is located within a food court. This was not obvious to me from…read morethe listing and reviews before I went. That said, it is a nice food court with several good vendors, a bar, greenery, and natural light. We spent nearly $40, which we felt was pricey for a lunch for 2, but the portions themselves were generous. There was an absolute ton of rice in each rice bowl, probably at least 1.5 cups. We both ate the toppings and left behind ton of extra rice. I would recommend they add more kimchi, cucumber, or something to balance out the rice. The taste was okay - the bang bang chicken had more of a mustard taste, which I liked, and the tofu had more of a sweet and sour, which I didn't. The potato wedges in the bowl had the best spice on them, which I think was a sweet chili. The curry fries were good, and I liked they you could add those on with a can of soda for $3. They also have the option to add a side of 4 dumplings on to your bowl, which is the perfect amount to get a taste. The chicken dumplings were decently tasty, and served with soy sauce. Overall, this was a solid place for a quick lunch, but not a standout in my book.

I'm in Omaha for a conference and wandered over to Akarui for a light bite between lunch and dinner, right around happy hour. I can say without hesitation that I wasn't disappointed in the slightest. The quality of the fish was outstanding. I also had the pleasure of chatting with Sunny, one of the owners, who was absolutely delightful. She shared the story of how she and her husband moved from Brooklyn and opened the restaurant five years ago. She explained that they receive fresh fish deliveries twice a week, and it absolutely shows. Everything I ordered was phenomenal. Fresh, beautifully prepared, and every bite exceeded my expectations. If you're in Omaha and craving sushi, this place is well worth the visit. Two enthusiastic thumbs up.

There is a lot to park in west of the building which is helpful given all of the construction. I got the blackstone tonk and my husband got the menudo ramen. Both were good, but note this place has a decent amount of spicy options. My favorite is to get the hot noods (on the small plate section) and add some protein or other add-ons. Great on a cold day and the staff at any location are good. Also they make their own noodles! There's someone making the noodles at the front window by the kitchen.

We've gone with friends and on our own and there's always been a table ready pretty quickly and servers ready to get our orders. We recently went to dinner here and we were both hungry and eager for some Ramen. I ordered the Blackstone Tonk with an egg and my boyfriend ordered the Spicy Miso with extra noodles. The broth for mine was rich, flavorful, and warm. The pork was perfectly tender and the egg added texture and more flavor for me. My boyfriend is always happy with a little spicy heat in his meals and he was pleased with his choice. He may have added a little more spice but that's just because he's evolved his tastebuds to handle it. Anytime we decide to come to this Ika I know that the food and service will be consistent. The servers are always on point in checking on you, our waters were refilled a few times, and they never seem like they are rushing us out the door. On a different note, I also appreciate the decor and atmosphere in this location. The old brick walls and open space feels as though, and there probably is, a lot of history within the walls. Tucked away down an alley, this location is easy to miss but absolutely worth a try!

We ordered the aloo chops and steamd pork + chicken momos. Everything was delicious! I'd recommend getting all four sauces too - they really add to the momos. Pricing was very fair as well. Definitely worth a visit!
