I didnt like this place at all. I had the house ramen. The eggs were entirely unseasoned/unmarinated, and the chashu was poorly seasoned. The broth was just okay. The server barely spoke English. This place is only steps away from my home, but Ill drive to another place for decent ramen.
This is easily best the ramen place in Fresno. It jumped to number 1 in my wife and my opinion when we learned they actually make their broth the traditional way over a 12 hour period. Surprisingly, they seem to be one of the few ramen places in town that does that. Fresno has such a strong Asian cuisine tradition. Why the standard weak broth for most other places?Needless to say the taste is amazing. Also since it’s pre-made, it’s a quick turn around from ordering to having food on the table. On top of that it’s a good price for a lot of food. It’s about $10 just for the ramen without extra toppings.Great taste. Filling food. Short wait. Cheap price. It’s rare you find a place with all of those qualities.
The house ramen is delicious. I got the green chili butter & the hubby had garlic miso. Both were so good. The place has limited seating but don’t let that stop you from going. Seriously good eats here
Had great ramen here last week---the 2nd time every trying ramen. Pros: love the ordering system, you are given a menu, they have other non ramen items, terriyaki type bowls, tempura apps, etc, but to order ramen you fill out a little menu slip with all the options clearly spelled out. I love this for ramen newbies like me. There are still so many things to choose from but you dont feel overwhelmed or on the spot, you can take your time. I really enjoyed what I ordered but I will make a few tweaks, like if Im not ravenously hungry, I will ask for less noodles and more broth, the traditional miso broth was so yummy! Also I will ask for extra green onions. Great little spot for conversation and tasty ramen!
I got the curry ramen. Honestly one the best Ive tried. Location was well kept. The employees were so kind I didnt even know they were closed until i asked they told me not to worry and continue eating i didnt feel rushed at all. It was my first time there and they recommended things to try out as well. Will be my new ramen spot
Great Ramen! A little different as you order everything separate for your bowl. The flavor and presentation in the bowl however is excellent!
Amazing! Their katsu chicken is simply amazing! Moist, flavorful, and crispy! Every bite had so much flavor! Honestly the best katsu chicken I’ve ever had!
My favorite ramen spot!
Good ramen the tonkatsu base was very rich and flavorful!
Delicious! My favorite ramen place!
Best Ramen place in Fresno. My boyfriend and I are regulars, we just enjoy it so much! The food, the service and environment is always delightful!! Love that you can pick the noodle thickness, base and overall what you want in your ramen (which there are many inclusions to pick from), everyone I’ve recommended to go here loves it! Trust me it will not disappoint.
Love being able to customize. Firm noodles FTW!
Excellent, the quality was top notch. One of the best ramen spots in Fresno. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. The only drawback is the fact they charge extra for ramen staples like egg, bean sprouts, corn ect. The more addons you choose the more expensive it gets, and it gets expensive fast!
The service and atmosphere was really nice and welcoming but the ramen was terrible. I have worked in a real Japanese ramen shop so I think my expectations were a little too high. The broth was underwhelming and quite bitter, the soup was really light which was weird because a traditional based broth of ramen has a deeper color. If its too light that means its watered down, which is tasted like dirty bath water. I hate to be so rude, but the appearance of the ramen was beautiful but deceiving taste. I really dont think people in America, have had REAL Japanese ramen so most people dont know what its supposed to taste like... if youre curious try ramen in San Mateo, San Francisco, and Los Angels.Everything was good except the ramen.
Definitely my go-to ramen place in Fresno. The traditional broth is flavorful, unlike other ramen places in town. The garlic oil is great and you can also choose your ramen noodle. Very fast and friendly service!
Really great ramen place in Fresno. You can choose how much salt and what kind of noodles you want. Theres so much customization. The gyoza is really great too. The egg noodles are soft but hold together. The customer service was great too. One of the best ramen in fresno.
We have been trying as many ramen places in fresno as we can. While not quite LA or south bay quality this is very good with lots of add ins including naruto and kurage mushroom and imo best ramen I have had in the Fresno area! Looking forward to going back for more.
Best ramen in town so far; unless you like salty, I could recommend the normal saltyness level. The chicken karage appetizer is wonderful as well. Light fried with a good flavor!Spicy miso ramen is the best here
Ramen looks delicious but can get pricey if you start adding toppings!l !!! Starting price is 8.95
My first bowl of ramen here was delicious, and Im going back today to try a different combination. Im giving them 4 stars instead of 5 due to them being out of a few basic items on the menu when I went.
I was expecting a different kind of ramen noodle. The noodle almost seemed like a soba and definitely wasnt handmade like Noodle Q. Flavor was good and sides are shareable. Small seating space and they were out of some items. Id like to try again with both harder and softer noodles. Hopefully they can up the quality of the noodle.
My favorite ramen place in Fresno!
Well, the broth had no flavor at all, edamame was bland, few ingredients on the menu were unavailable, which sucked. The rice was ummm who knows what. Service was great but the food was negative. Never again! No thank you, next.
If you like Drift King, this is your place.
Best ramen ever!! first place I ever tried ramen and I get it twice a month now. The garlic miso is amazing, Great flavor and add on choices. Everyone I’ve brought here loves it!!
Best ramen in town. This ramen is better than ichiban, brothers and others. The flavor is sooo good. it was closed but now it if finally reopened and we are grateful it is
Everytime I come here its been a good experience. The garlic miso ramen is great and I love the fact that the boiled egg is still partially runny and cooks in your soup.
First time there and I can say the spicy curry best choice when ordering the ramen overall very satisfied with the food. Service needs a little work on only because we got sat in the corner where harder to see.
I came here after losing my job and the staff were very friendly and considerate as I was getting myself back on my feetThe house ramen really boosted my mood
Declious ramen! Highly recommend the spicy miso. Only got 3 stars because the service was terrible! More like lack of service if you ask me. Plus they nickle and dime you for every little thing you want added on to your noodles.
Amazing food, very caring and kind staff.I dont normally leave reviews but the staff here helped me during an important time of need and was taken care of with no issues whatsoever.With all my heart, thank you and Ill be looking forward to having another delicious bowl again!
Korean style ramen shop. Good fresh food and staff were awesome!
This place is without a doubt THE BEST ramen shop in Fresno. So satisfied and full. No other shop can top these guys. This is coming from a Pho guy.
Great ramen. Plenty of extras to add for a fair price. Enjoy coming here and like the random specials they have at times.
The ramen wasnt bad, but having no A/C when its 104 outside was pretty uncomfortable. Our server was very nice though.
This is the only Ramen place I’ve ever tried and I absolutely LOVE it! Spicy miso is sooooo good! Great service too!
A must try! Delicious food!
Best ramen in town!! More flavorful than anywhere else and better service too. Highly recommend.
If possible update that you are closed on Google since me and some coworkers searched for ramen in Fresno and to drive over and just notice a sign saying closed, which is understandable, due to COVID but update online please and thank you
I would say that is the best ramen place in Fresno, many customization available, taste are the best, would come in weekly.
A pretty good place to grab some quality ramen. The dining area is small and large parties are somewhat hard to accommodate
Good customizable ramen bowl.
Best ramen I’ve had in Fresno! The broth is amazing and the spicy miso makes it 💯
I just enjoyed their dishes. I always get great service there. The place is always clean and the workers are always helpful. Would recommend to others.
The food is great, but the service the kind of slow, it took them 20 minutes for one bowl of ramen to go
I love it here. The ramen is great and so is the customer service.
Great ramen and curry! Felt like we were back in Kyoto. Will be going back.
Traditional ramen tastes like... nothing like ramen... like I don’t think they know how to make ramen
Very good. Lots of options for ramen. Gyoza was very good also!
Food is amazing and quick. There is a wide selection to choose from and its the perfect place for a date
Great service and very delicious ramen.
So happy this place is in my neighborhood. Definitely reminds me of my visit to Japan.

2023-11-14 17:30:19Back in Fresno; meaning: back to trying a new Ramen shop. This place was the nearest to me after an earlier errand, so I decided to give it a shot. The ambiance was casual and typical for a Japanese establishment. I happened to be the only patron at the time so there wasnt much of a wait time, considering there was only one server. The prices seemed to be a little much for a smaller establishment, but I wasnt too picky at the time. I got a Make your own Ramen option with a side of Gyoza and was given chopsticks for both; needless to say, I asked for a fork. The food was good but average and some of the toppings had a different look than how it was advertised, but still good regardless. It was about halfway through my meal when more patrons started to show up, but my server was still attentive to me when needed. The problem came when I had to pay: I was charged an extra fee for using a credit card even though it was authorized as a DEBIT. When asked to change it, the server refused and when I tried to ask for a copy of the receipt, he took forever to come around again and when he did, he didnt seem to understand what I was asking. He finally did, but ended up giving me the original receipt without the charges. Again I asked for my charged receipt, but he seemed to ignore me and attended to the other patrons, which was starting to get slightly more busy. Overall this place is a definite 3/5, mostly due to the end service.

2023-09-19 00:54:36I came here after hearing about a promotion that happened during the weekend. When you first walk on its very cute and plenty of seating. One area seems quieter and more relaxed and the other near the bar type seating is brighter and a tad louder.I got the custom ramen with hakata noodles, tonkotsu broth with the chasu pork and some other toppings. The noodles were cooked just right and the broth was so savory and delicious. The pork was tender and the kimchi was a good tang to the dish. Super happy with the service our waiter always made sure we had water and drinks. Overall great experience and I cant wait to come back. This might be my new go to spot

2023-10-22 04:35:11The food was delicious and came out very quickly. We ordered build your own ramens and a chicken katsu rice bowl. The server was very attentive and accommodating. My 3 yr old played musical chairs in the super roomy booth the whole time we were there, and all we got were smiles. Ill definitely go again when in the area.

2023-09-17 20:18:23Me and my fiancé we’re looking for a nearby ramen spot on Sunday and decided to try somewhere new which was here. We were overall disappointed with the entire experience compared to most Fresno ramen restaurants.The menu was a little confusing for the custom ramen, but we got through it. The ramen came out relatively fast. The broth was ok, but overall very plain. The charsu tasted good. Toppings are pricier here compared to many other places in Fresno.There was two different radio stations being played simultaneously. At one point both radios stopped and it went into complete awkward silence for a few minutes. The music choice was pretty somber and sad for a place to dine.Overall, you’ll get a much better experience price wise, quantity and quality elsewhere in Fresno.

2023-10-20 13:24:53My friend and i ordered the house ramen along with these freshly made green onion pancakes. The service was fast, and the food was delicious. Definitely recommend grabbing the house ramen with spicy miso! Will be coming back soon! :)

2020-02-18 06:53:28So excited to have found this gem of an authentic ramen place offering up the traditional ramen taste, ambiance and menu. The spot is tiny, can occasionally get crowded but the service is fast. They have a quick and easy ordering process with an easy to follow menu. You choose from 3 different broth flavors, 3 different noodles and an arroy of addons. The shrimpballs were fantastic, great flavor and texture. I opted for the curry miso with shrimpballs, mushrooms, eggs and garlic oil. The broth came out nice and hot. The kimchi as an appetizer was amazing, I actually recommend adding it to your broth for that extra kick. Overall great taste & reasonable prices & great service.

2019-07-25 18:25:12This place is small and has a few very unique items on the menu. The ramen (of which there is only one base, hakata-tonkotsu) I had was very good and I liked being able to customize the noddle firmness, the saltiness and oil for the bowl. Some of the more unique topping items you can get are fried fish skins as well as dried shrimp (which were not available at the time of my meal unfortunately). I liked the flavorful broth. Its exciting to hear that this place will soon be getting other different types of noodles. Id for sure need to come back once this happens.
