Daruma Ramen Bar & Grill

We've been wanting to try Daruma out since they opened, and I am now kicking myself for not going sooner. I was blown away by the meal. Presentation and flavor was far beyond my expectations. The menu is broad enough that I feel anyone could find something they are interested in, though I have no doubt that everything is worth trying. The price points are very reasonable as well, especially considering the quality. I wish I could award this restaurant 10 stars.

100/10! Absolutely LOVE! The food is amazing and so are the people. I wish there was one close to where I live. If you get wine get the plum wine!

I ate at the bar and customer service from Dylan and Robert was amazing. To top it off their recommendation on the LSU Champion ramen was the best ramen I ever had. I will definitely be back with my family and spread the news of this hidden gem. It was a blind restaurant pick but well worth it!

The food was amazing. We ordered firecracker chicken, wings, queso, CAARAGE Ramen, hot sake, soju. Everything was amazing.. Thank you too the gentleman that picked up our tab. 🫶🏽

I am strict when it comes to my food - this place is a 100/10 in my opinion! The variety + range is immaculate and what sets them apart from other ramen places. I love the tea options , every ramen has been a spicy yet good broth , and every dish I’ve tried has been a 10/10. The appetizers are BOMB! the service and staff has been kind everytime.

Robert was exceptional, great personality and very helpful. He was patient and kind. He definitely deserves to be recognized 👏🏾. We ordered so much food and everything was prepared perfectly! The drinks were also amazing. We will be returning! Don't get rid of the patio ! Use that space for entertainment! Do karaoke or have gane nights a help the community by hosting private events! Its a great space !

Excellent, as always. Service was great and the food was delicious!! Everything is so flavorful ! I had the surf and turf yaki soba.

Probably the best Ramen spot in Baton Rouge. I had the Spicy Beef Ramen and my wife got the Seafood Ramen. The broth is really flavorful, spicy but not too spicy. The seafood Ramen was like a seafood boil loads of flavor, lots of seafood. Chicken Karaage was cooked and seasoned well very crunchy Kids enjoyed their Ramen and Milk teas Service was great, it's a small spot so it's a little loud with other peoples conversations. Would definitely recommend their Ramen can't wait to try their other dishes

Food was really good and came out fast. Service was really good and it was a laid back ambiance. Perfect for a date night or family meal.

I came here because I was passing by and a friend lived in Gonzales. Well my first impressions were like this place was nice and seemed authentic. The service was great from the beginning to the end so it was most appreciative. Then the food started to come in and it was all delicious we came for the ramen but we also had some gyoza, tuna tataki, dumplings flight and even some karagee chicken. All tasted delicious and the soups had great broth flavors. We had the black tonkatsu ramen and the spicy one as well.

When you enter, they have this cool ramen display that does the perfect ramen pull! The ambience is cool and vibrant! Very cool bar set up and focus pieces throughout the dining area. The service is very quick and friendly! The food is very reasonably priced and delicious! My friend and I have decided this will be our regular lunch spot in the very near future!

I really enjoyed this restaurant!! The building outside and inside is very nice, there's plenty of seating and looks like they're still working on furnishing their outdoor patio which will provide even more spacious room! The ramen was absolutely delicious, the broth was so flavorful, my mouth is watering just thinking about it. I also had the pork Gyozas, which is always a must have and theirs did not disappoint!! Our service was very consistent with always checking up on us, my water was always filled before it got empty, and she was extremely sweet ! Highly recommend this place for your ramen cravings!!! I for sure will be back soon!

First of all, my partner and I always choose Daruma if we don't know what we want to eat. If you love asian food, this restaurant has a wide selection of asian and asian fusion cuisines such as ramen (broth & brothless), curry, rice plates, seafood, bao, dumplings, asian-styled tacos, and so forth! They also have a BEAUTIFUL drink selection (alcoholic and non alcoholic ;) Dining in at Daruma is truly a luxury. Tables have a lovely marble finish with low lighting so a nice relaxing time. I would say, the music is a hit or miss haha. Jokes aside, the service is never dull. My favorite server is Rhegan, she's always so kind and gets it done. 10/10 would recommend.

Amazing family dinner. Food was amazing. The Daruma Tonkotsu Ramen was amazing. The boa buns are to die for. What a wonderful place in Prairieville. This was not our first time and it won't be our last.

The menu has expanded a lot since opening. New Orelans Wings are one of my favorite things there. My kids love the Pearl Chicken Ramen. The prices are a little high on some items. The lunch specials are a good way to try new things and see what you may or may not like for a little less, which Is a great way to try new options!

Food, service and the atmosphere is always 10/10!! Haven't tried everything as the menu is big..but everything I gotten so far was a 10/10.

This place is so awesome !! Start to finish they got it all right. Right off interstate, very nice decor, there's a bar with sports TV, very friendly service and very unique menu. We got a variety and loved everything! Especially the New Orleans wings. A robot brought out my Ramen and that was just chefs kiss! Can't wait to come back again :)

Do NOT waste your time! Go to the frozen food section of Costco before eating here! Two words, too salty! There's little flavor, just a ton of salt. The pork was crumbly and super salty-no seasoning, and it tasted nothing like pork belly! The tofu was chewy and flavorless. The "shrimp" spring rolls tasted like and had the same texture as imitation crab meat. I'm convinced they bought frozen rolls and fried it. The Pearl Chicken Ramen was the nastiest ramen I've ever had anywhere ever! Corn from a can? Why? Sliced chicken like processed chicken lunch meat Flavorless-oh wait, no they did liberally salt it! Our water was nice, but didn't know anything about the menu or the food. So very disappointing because I've been reading good reviews. What a terrible waste of $30.

Cool little restaurant!! Service was quick and nice. Obsessed with the Chili Edamame! The presentation of all items were so beautiful. They put a butterfly shaped carrot on the top of our edamame with a flower. It just shows how much time is spent on items! My sister said the soupy dumplings weren't very soupy at all. The wings were delicious!! Our name was absolutely divine too. I got the spicy miso ramen and it had a perfect flavor. It was my godchildren's first time trying ramen and they all loved it!

The ambience in this place is wonderful. Went at 4 pm so it wasn't too busy but it should be! Shoutout to Tiffany, very attentive and helped me with decisions. Ask for her! First thing I got was a watermelon ramune soda. Followed with LSU crawfish ramen with the additional combo of fried oyster bun and salad. The flavors in everything were like an explosion in my mouth. I left fully satisfied. 10/10.

Great service! Good food! Glad to have a local ramen place. Everything we have had past few visits has been delicious! I'm craving the fries with spicy mayo right now!! My kiddo is a huge ramen fan so it's nice to have a place we can go to for our teen & mom dinner dates!

Great service! LOVE their fried rice!!! Love their honey chicken!!! Their chicken wings are great too!!!

Went to lunch with my husband. We live down the street and we're super excited to have a new type of restaurant near by. We got the buns for an appetizer. I got the surf and turf ramen and my husband got one of the rice bowls. Both of us were really happy with our choices. Really cute inside and will be going back again especially when the tea bar opens.

Excellent food and great service. I can't wait to go back and try something different. Vegetarian fried rice was delicious.

Not often in the Prairieville area, but found myself out there and did a general Google search for new restaurants and found this Ramen restaurant. I believe it's fairly new based on the condition of the building, interior and "now open" banners outside. The restaurant itself is cute, great atmosphere, impeccably clean with very friendly staff. They even have a cute little robot that will follow the waiter to deliver your food to your table. However, I was a little disappointed in the food itself. I ordered for an appetizer a set of 'Soup Dumplings' which were absolutely delicious. But the wait staff did not realize that a large soup spoon must be provided with this type of dumpling because you have to take a small bite off of the shell to then slurp out the soup portion before you can eat the rest of the dumpling. If you try to bite into the dumpling with all of the super hot soup liquid still inside the dumpling shell, at a minimum you'll lose most of your soup liquid (which is very tasty) - or worse - scald inside of your mouth. So thumbs up for the taste of the soup dumplings, just more training on wait staff needed. As to my main dish which was the meat ramen I was disappointed in both the quality of the meats (which were sort of deli cut style) and the broth was VERY weak in taste/flavor. Okay, granted this particular dish on their menu was supposed to be super spicy and I asked for the spicing paste and oil on the side because I wasn't sure how spicy the kitchen would make it, but the basic broth of any ramen bowl regardless of spice level should still be very rich in unami flavor whether chicken or pork. I was pleased that they had bok choy as well as bamboo shoots because I like a lot of vegetables in my Ramen bowl, but the bamboo shoots were very limp where they should have been on the crunchy side. I also had to ask my waiter to nuke my bowl because it wasn't very hot. The wait staff was very accommodating, but the recipe and the kitchen work on the ramen bowl was lacking for me. This is a new restaurant and they may be still working through a soft opening so I hope this review is taken in the spirit of which it's meant that they make some improvements on the ramen bowl, especially in regards to the broth richness. The restaurant menu has many other items, so I do plan on stopping back again when I'm in the neighborhood to try something different. Would have given them four stars if it hadn't been for both the temperature and weak broth of the ramen bowl.

It's about time, Prairieville, Louisiana finally has a ramen restaurant! The decor may be decorative inside & out, but let's go straight to the point of the food! Here's what I ordered: 1. Chili Oil Wonton: Homemade wonton that tasted scrumptious. I wanted to stuff more of these into my mouth if I had more ha. 2. Daruma Ramen: JUST go order this! Plain and simple. 3. Spicy Beef Noodle: If you like beef noodles with an extra kick of beefiness, then this is for you. 4. Chicken Karage: Juicy chicken thigh lightly fried cooked to perfection. It may be a little under seasoned, but to fix that, I usually ask for some spicy chili oil or japanese mayonnaise on the side. 5. Chicken Oyako Don: Essentially, this dish is a chicken rice bowl. The flavor is there, but my only minor gripe is that if they had bigger chicken pieces to rice ratio. 6. Soupy Dumpling Bao: Good for what it is. 7. Cherry Blossom Raindrop Cake: Crystal clear Sakura flower tea jelly cake with jelly boba and brown sugar syrup. Imagine nonflavored jello that is dependent on the sauce. 8. Fried Banana Rice Stick(3) Crispy fried sweet banana flavor rice cake with syrup. It's fun and chewy to eat, but just be cautious of the molten filling on the inside. Overall, I hope this place stays open for a long long time so we all can enjoy the delicious food here!

This place is absolutely fantastic. The food is as beautiful as it is delicious. I'm so happy they've opened up in my neighborhood, I will definitely be a regular for lunch and dinner. Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5 Recommended dishes Black Tonkotsu Ramen

Love this place. Food is fantastic! The broth is truly unique and does not disappoint. Mongolian beef is my fav though! Make sure you try this place!

The food is always great , the waiter though not so much , felt rushed as soon as we sat , never introduced himself, rushed us for our orders, I asked for no corn and instead put extra corn..... asked is for the check halfway of us eating , and didnt ask if the checks were separate or all together . Should have told us ahead of time a 20% charge was going to be placed on each ticket, or after a certain amount of people on a table there would be a charge, The place is good , good ambiance , just need to train the waiters a little better , plus gold and silver chains don't match.... Just saying

Only had takeout from here bc my kids like it. I frankly found it overpriced and pretty bland but it's probably just not my cup of tea everyone I know who really likes ramen enjoys their food.

We've visited this restaurant a few times and the service and food are always consistent good. Tables are clean and the staff is very friendly. Our food was even delivered via robot which impressed my daughter. Nice place, definitely recommend.

Nice spot, kinda pricey...only thing we liked was the New Orleans Wings as an appetizer. Food was so so... Our kids liked the wonton soup soooo that was a plus which made it worth it. Service was fine. Overall 3/5. We will not be back. Flavors of all our meals tasted the same.

Great food, drinks and service! Such a hidden gem. Love the bao buns, orange chicken and Ramen. Also has a great Happy Hour!

A new ramen place in Prarieville?! I'm there! The food was so good I forgot to take pics and dove right in so I'm just going to have to go back right? I tried the Pearl Chicken Ramen for $15 and added the white garlic (but next time I'll get the black garlic just for a bit more punch) It was delicious and ample size for lunch. The cutest, sturdiest to go bowl was provided for my leftovers which was great since it tipped over in my car but fortunately no mess!!! I also tried the fried banana rice dessert for $5 with the brown sugar dipping sauce that the waitress recommended. So yummy and not too sweet. Maybe I'll try the Bao Buns next time?

Up to par with other ramen spots tried on the west coast. Excellent interior/exterior design. Worth a stop off the 10 if traveling cross-country. Owner/Staff is very friendly. Ramen black was good.

The food and service were amazing. Everything was so amazing that I have a hard time choosing what I wanted. Definitely a must try and a restaurant to add to your list of go to's!

First visit won't be my last actually looking forward to returning this weekend it was that GOOD. Terribly hot that day and ramen was out but chose a bunch of apps and it would be hard to pick my favorite since each on presented perfect, seasoned and flavorful and so fresh. Many place I question if their shumai is a frozen product, that shrimp shumai was definitely house made. Egg roll crunchy with no grease , bright crunchy veggies with a lite plum dipping sauce . The gyoza dumplings perfect, best in area hands down a real dumpling finally in this area. Chicken wings more of Korean crispy style served hot on a bed of greens and edible flowers - poultry art! A short ride from capital area - well worth the trip to this gem.

Food was fresh and great! Service is unique! They have a robot server like they do in Japan

Food was great. The Bao buns were nice. The pork were moister than beef ones. The dough is super soft. The service was amazing. Super kind young lady. It looks very clean and trendy. One thing is, I love thin rice noodles but theirs is so thin it feels like hair in your mouth. Good news is you can order many kinds of noodles other than that. Their sliced choshu pork has a good flavor also. Don't be surprised to see a robot cart bringing your food. You may get it or a human. They also have seafood for those who do not like Asian type food. I have to say the food seems to be from many places. For those who like anime,you may recognize some of these soups. A nice place for different and classy experience. I will return.

Have never tried Ramen and OMGGGGGGG this place is so good! The decor and atmosphere are so modern and cool. You have to order the Bulgogi sticky buns. For ramen I tried the Black Tonkotsu and Sapporo Saefood!

Ordered take out from here and was impressed with the food. I had the tonka black, and the pork belly bao buns, both were excellent. The broth was creamy white like you would expect. The bao buns are absolutely delicious. It was also served in nice takeout bowls that kept everything separate till you get home. Wife and kids had the chicken ramen, and they enjoyed it as well and felt full with the portions. The place itself is very nice and well decorated. Parking is a bit tight but only a minor inconvenience. If I had any tweak it would be just two things. 1) I would like ramen a bit more spicy and the wife was the same. 2) I think it would be nice to get a whole egg and not a half. Would recommend and will be back.

Great place to eat friendly service good environment awesome service the food was great

Really yummy ramen. I'm so glad to have a ramen place close by! Service is good and prices are reasonable.

Their Ramen is really good and the shrimp appetizer they have there is AMAZING. We all got different Ramen to try and all 4 of them were delicious!

My grand daughter loves this place. The ramen is so good here. It is very filling. And they have an A I waiter. So cool!

Food and Service were top notch. The New Orleans style wings were excellent. Ramen was outstanding. Will definitely be making regular visits.

If you like Ramen definitely give Daruma a try. I have been waiting forever for some variety to open up around here. It is about time to have something other than bar food, barbecue and Mexican food. Variety is the spice of life and Daruma provides plenty spice from the ramen to the wings! I will be returning!!!!

Winged buta gyoza- great flavor and love the crispiness of it Soupy dumplings- tasted fine but no soup once so ever. Disappointment New Orleans Wings- definitely recommend and we will be getting them again when we go back. Wonderful flavor and crispy skin Spicy miso ramen- absolute disappointment. Zero flavor or spice. I make better ramen at my house

Terrible service!!! Did not get my food even after waiting for 45 minutes while other tables were getting served that had been there after us! All sorts of apologies but nothing being done. I highly DO NoT recommend this place!!! Would give it Zero stars if possible!

My granddaughter and myself took my wife to try something different and new. They were most gracious to swap out my wife's dish that she didn't like. The portions were more than we could handle in one sitting, so leftovers are in the future. Thanks for the great service!!!

Everything we had was excellent! I would highly recommend trying out Daruma. I truly enjoyed the multiple appetizers we tried & then their noodles delicious. The service friendly, inviting & spectacular.

Great little restaurant. Service with a smile the waiter kept the drinks full. Never thought I'd pay that much for ramen but wow it was great. I got the spicy seafood good spice and it was better than I thought if it wasn't an hour from my house. I'll be back though !!!

Really cute and cozy atmosphere. Service was fantastic- our waitress was SO helpful! We got chicken karage, soupy dumplings, and black tonkotsu ramen. Everything was great! Really loved how easily customizable the ramen was. Fast service. Overall great experience! Will definitely be back.

The appetizers and the Ramen was delicious. We each had a different ramen but I liked the spicy miso the best, had lots of flavor.

Went to this place excited to have a new ramen place in the BR general area. The experience just wasn't good all around. From the start there was a wait when there were only a few tables with people in the restaurant. Our waiter disappeared several times throughout the meal. Once we did get our order in, the waiter came back over 20 minutes later to tell us they didn't have an ingredient for one of the bowls of ramen someone at our table ordered. Mind you I already had my bowl of tonkotsu when we were informed. Service was all around bad. Sometimes bad service can just happen for one reason or another so I tend to give leeway on that part of a review, but some of the issues with the food are inexcusable. The pork chashu is sliced comically thin, and based off the pictures on their website, this is the norm. I was hoping they knew some kind of secret to cooking the meat, like maybe if it's sliced thin they can give it more flavor. They can't, and actually it was kind of bland. The noodles and soup both were not better than you can get in a much cheaper pack of instant ramen. Given how skimpy the restaurant is on the meat and the noodles not seeming homemade, paying over $15 for a bowl is way too high. To top it all off, outside in the parking lot it stunk, like sewage backup stink. It was clean and well lit inside the restaurant, so that's worth something. Would be willing to maybe give this place a second chance if it was a bit cheaper.

It has options for kids not just a regular ramen place that just sell ramen lol. The service is on point and the food came out on a robot and my kids loved it.

Everything was delicious! Lots of choices to pick from! Atmosphere was amazing and clean! The service was great and always attentive! We will definitely be back! They care about you and your whole family. Very unique and delicious! Can't wait to try it again!
