Noburu Ramen and Sushi

My friend and I stumbled upon this place by accident— we showed up at Oto right as they were closing for lunch and we didn’t feel like driving. This was the closest sushi spot within walking distance, so we gave it a shot and we were really glad we did. The fast service, quality food and generous portions were a nice surprise. We’ll be back for sure!

Always ALWAYS a good experience. Whether they're busy or slow, always on point. Ramen is very flavorful. Sushi never a let down and the tea is top notch. My girls always like to try a new drink so far so good! Highly recommend

Noboru Sushi & Ramen: A Solid Choice with Standout Stars Noboru Sushi & Ramen delivers a satisfying dining experience, balancing quality with fair pricing and generous portions. It's the kind of place you can rely on for a consistently good meal, whether you're craving sushi or a comforting bowl of ramen. From the moment our plates arrived, it was clear that Noboru doesn't skimp on portion sizes. This is a welcome change from some sushi restaurants where you leave feeling slightly peckish. Here, you'll find ample servings of both sushi and ramen, ensuring you leave fully satisfied. While the menu offers a wide variety of options, two items truly shone: the hamachi and the negitoro. The hamachi was incredibly fresh, melting in the mouth with a delicate, buttery flavor. The negitoro, a delightful combination of minced fatty tuna and green onion, was equally impressive. The richness of the tuna was perfectly balanced by the sharp freshness of the scallions, creating a truly memorable bite. These two items alone are worth a return visit. Beyond the standout sushi, the overall quality of the fish was commendable, and the rice was cooked to a perfect consistency. While I didn't sample the ramen on this occasion, the hearty bowls I saw being served looked promising and garnered positive murmurs from neighboring tables. The pricing at Noboru is fair and reflects the quality and quantity of the food. You won't feel like you're overpaying, which adds to the overall positive experience. In conclusion, Noboru Sushi & Ramen is a solid choice for anyone looking for a satisfying and reasonably priced Japanese meal. The generous portions, combined with the exceptional hamachi and negitoro, make it a standout in its category. If you're in the area and craving fresh sushi or comforting ramen, Noboru is definitely worth a try.

An awesome place to eat Sushi and Ramen!… Is the go to place on the weekends for my family. Perfect balance between outstanding quality and price!… All the menu looks exactly as it looks on pictures, plenty of food, great service and great place.

Great new place in Bella Botegga. Really cool interior, friendly and fun place. Staff are fast and attentive. Menu has lots of choices so something for everyone. Ramen was good. Not the best in the city but still very tasty. Sushi was so so. Not bad but not great either. The appetizers were very good. Got the brussel sprouts and pork bun. Yummy. Update Been back a couple of times and the food is consistent except the pork bun. It’s been inconsistent. Sushi is still decently good. We like coming here because of the variety and everyone can usually get what they want.

Food was amazing, staff helped us with our food and boxing. The picture is the crepe cake, so frickin tasty. 10/10 definitely come here, and low social interaction, so great for people with social anxiety like me.

So very happy we found this Japanese Restaurant! Both dishes were delicious! And abundant! Lots of fresh fish! Broth was creamy. … I should have added more hot spice. Poke bowl and ShrimpKaraage Ramon.

This restaurant was extremely clean and welcoming. I had the Poke Bowl and Goyza, both were delicious. We also tried the fried chicken dish and it was really good. We will be eating here again.

Went with family for dinner and had a great experience! I love that they offer a wide variety of ramen, sushi, hand rolls, appetizers, and desserts. We ordered the seaweed salad sushi rolls, avocado rolls, agedashi tofu, and potato croquettes to share--everything was delicious, especially the croquettes, which were perfectly crispy! I had the veggie ramen, which was good, though I personally would've liked a bit more depth in the broth. It would be nice if they offered different soup base options like miso, Kyushu Jangara style, or sesame for vegetarian/vegan ramen. Service was quick and friendly. Plus, they sell a fun selection of anime figurines and Japanese snacks, which adds to the experience. Definitely my favorite ramen spot in the neighborhood--much better than others nearby!

Their ramen is not as good as Kizuki's, but the soups are usually flavorful. I just wished that their noodles were better. The servers are very nice. It's a pretty good size restaurant so perfect for small to large group. Price is also reasonable.

3.5 stars. Ramen was good. $16-17 per bowl. Good portions. Tonkatsu, spicy miso and noburu black were all solid choices. Calamari and gyoza were good. We left feeling full. Friend got the chirashi bowl which took SO LONG to come out we were all finished with our ramen already. Definitely not worth $33. Would recommend against this. Ambiance is very casual. Front part of the store they sell action figures which is interesting. Table service was fast (despite the super mistimed meals mentioned above) and they came by to refill our waters multiple times. Easy parking.

Had an early dinner here, mostly to find out whether it could be an alternative to Sushi Samurai in Seattle. Sadly, they do not offer any vegan sushi, even though many of their rolls could easily be made vegan. The only vegan dish offered was the vegan ramen, which was very good. I certainly would've gotten the fried jalapeños and some sushi if any had been vegan. The ambience here is very relaxed, with good music, and pleasant interior design. For anyone with social anxiety, they offer contactless ordering and pay, which is very convenient. Servers dont loom over you and interrupt often, which I appreciated. The bathroom was tidy and clean. Great for families, small groups, or casual dates. Situated right next to Regal Cinema. Enjoy!

A nice ramen place to visit in Redmond. We went here on a Friday night and this place was not that crowded and we were greeted by the host who immediately seated us. They serve sushi and ramen and we ordered the spicy miso ramen. The service was good and fast. The ramen was good probably not one of the best I have tried in Seattle area.

Cute interior -- felt very clean and modern. My friend got a ramen bowl and I got the chashu bowl. It wasn't the best chashu I've ever had, but it was delicious and hit the spot! I'd definitely go back to try more dishes here in the future. :)

Average spot for ramen and basic sushi. Seems like it's good for groups of various sizes. Prices seemed a little high. Service was good!

Family friendly delicious ramen! Located in the Bella Bottega shopping area, parking is easy. Overall ambiance is clean, pleasant, and casual. You order via QR code on the table with your phone or via the server. Food came out in a timely manner and service was very courteous and considerate! We got 2 bowls of ramen and a small chicken karaage bowl and everything was well seasoned with good texture. Noodle portions were generous and the chicken karaage were the hugest I've seen. Another plus was that it was not crowded at all for a weekend lunch. We will definitely be returning in the future for basic Japanese food cravings!

I've been to Noburu 2 times now, and I can say this with absolute confidence: this is the BEST ramen I've ever had. EVER. It's perfectly balanced and presented, and the flavors are dizzying. I was in ramen bliss both times I ate here! Service is always friendly and prompt, and the restaurant is very clean and inviting. If you like spicy food, definitely try the Red ramen (I forget its full name)... it's incredible, and you won't regret it! I'm definitely planning on visiting Noburu again the next time I'm in town, because this place is legit! Stop reading this and go get some ramen already!

DANBO DUPE!! If you're a fan of Danbo, you'll likely enjoy this spot. Personally, I'm not a fan of Danbo, which is why I'm giving it only 3 stars for the food. The service was good, and I ordered the Spicy Miso Ramen. Unfortunately, the broth was underwhelming--lacking in flavor and salt, and it didn't have the spice I was hoping for.

Pretty disappointed in the food. Was craving sushi and decided to stop by this spot after seeing the reviews. The interior is definitely cute and clean, but the food was a miss for us. We got the black garlic ramen, sashimi carpaccio, and the shiitake mushroom tempura. The black garlic ramen didn't have a lot of black garlic flavor and didn't stand out. The meat was tougher than what I've usually had in ramen and overall a very mid bowl of ramen. The texture of the noodles were good though. The sashimi carpaccio had a good flavor to it, salmon and yellowtail were decent. The tuna tasted a little old/not as good quality. I think with the other two it's just easier to hide any imperfections and tuna is easy to tell if it's not up to par. The mushroom tempura was weirdly hard. Usually it's very light and airy, but crispy. These felt like they were a day old already fried and then just quickly refried. The very outside was crisp, but the inside had a thick layer you needed to get through. Overall would not recommend stopping by here. The meal ended up being about $50, kind of pricey for food that really missed the mark.

went back here for another trip ! this time around, tried their strawberry cheesecake drink, katsu bowl, & the fried calamari. reoccurring things that we had was the spicy miso ramen, pork gyoza, & takoyaki. the strawberry cheesecake drink was EVERYTHING ! if you love strawberries, cheesecake, or one of the other: this drink is everything ! super sweet, but not to the point it gives you a toothache. perfectly sweet or milk & strawberry, with chunks of strawberry in there. i want to know the secret in making this ! the pork katsu was a little hard to bite into, but besides that, tasted very good. no gristle nor fat taste, the cabbage was a nice filling touch, the rice as well didn't taste like starch, & didn't need to add any sauce to make it taste better: which is perfectly what i'm looking for with rice ! only disappointment was the takoyaki & the calamari fries. the takoyaki didn't taste as good as i thought it would the second time around. either wasn't used to it, or just the consistency was off. the calamari was good for the most part, but a lot of it was fatty / hard to bite into, & some tasted a little burnt. but, the positive of it was it was it did taste good from what was had, & the spicy mayo really enhanced the flavor ! just ignore they look like the actual octopus arms :) when we entered, it was pretty dead inside, but it was an hour to closing as well as it being the middle of the week, so it was nice to have some peace & quiet & quick service. the inside had changed a little since we last entered, including a wall full of anime figurines to buy, & another wall filled with various packaged japanese sweets & snacks to purchase as well !

My friends and I had dinner at Noburu Ramen and Sushi as it was near the movie theater we were going to afterwards, and it was a good experience! We all enjoyed our dinners, and I was glad to learn about this Japanese restaurant in a busy spot in Redmond. Noburu Ramen and Sushi is located in the shopping center where the Regal Cinemas and QFC is in Redmond, so is around many other businesses, with plenty of parking and not far from downtown Redmond. Of all the restaurants in the area, Noburu Ramen and Sushi is a great addition, offering Japanese favorites, like ramen, sushi of all kinds, kaarage, etc. I ordered two rolls that had seared salmon on top (my fav!) - the Godzilla Roll and the Volcano Roll. Although the Godzilla Roll had more to it, with shrimp tempura and eel, I preferred the Volcano Roll because I could taste more of the seared salmon on top since inside was just cucumber and crab. Sometimes, simple is better! For both of the rolls, it had too much of eel sauce. But it was still good. The menu had a lot to offer, and everything out of the kitchen looked delicious. Staff was friendly, and what's nice is that you can order at your table with the QR code, so you don't have to wait for a server to take down orders. This was especially nice here on a Friday night because the place was busy! I would happily come back to Noburu and try other items.

The food was tasty and the service was good. A little too much sauce on my dragon role but it was still good. Our Ramen was good as well. Should stop by and give it a try.

We were craving ramen and decided to give this a try. Prices are a little up there, but in line with any other place. Ramen was decent. Probably not the best that is out there, but it was flavorful and came with a hefty number of toppings. Broth seemed minimal though. My son really enjoyed the creamy chicken ramen, which had a really good broth. We were disappointed that the veggie ramen didn't appear any different from the vegan ramen. We wanted a nice egg like our son received. I liked the small number of items that were available for sale in the shop. Japanese treats and figurines. It was a little strange, but why not.

I can't pass up a new ramen and sushi restaurant when I see one... so the four of us picked up takeout one Saturday. As we walked in, the host kindly guided us to one of the self-ordering kiosks. The screen was easy to navigate with clear pictures of all the items. We waited for 15 minutes before our food was ready, which wasn't bad at all, since we ordered three bowls of ramen and a few different sushi items. With multiple waiters, a couple sushi chefs and several employees in the kitchen, the restaurant appeared to be well-staffed and they had a good system going. + NOBURU BLACK RAMEN ($16): The to-go container came packed with the bowl of soup and a tray of noodles and toppings above it. For the price, the serving was very reasonable, including a large portion of noodles, half an egg, mushrooms, corn, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts and two slices of pork chashu. Although a little dry, the chashu slices were pretty meaty compared to what you receive at other ramen places these days. The egg was perfectly jammy and the noodles were nice and firm. Unfortunately, there wasn't anywhere to request low sodium broth. When drinking it alone, it was on the saltier side. Despite the visible layer of black garlic oil on top, the garlic flavor itself was quite subtle. + VOLCANO ROLL ($17): Spicy seared salmon, crab mix, avocado, cucumber & unagi sauce. The salmon was nicely seared, although the roll was overly saucy, in my opinion. With the crab salad and avocado both having a creamy texture, I was glad the crunchy cucumber livened it up. + DOUBLE SHRIMP ROLL ($20): Shrimp tempura with cucumber, avocado and seared shrimp with green onion on top. Since the shrimp is fully cooked, the sear didn't really add much overall other than just a little smokiness. This was like a typical shrimp tempura roll, taken up a notch. + CATERPILLAR ROLL ($18): Unagi, avocado, cucumber, tobiko, sesame seeds and unagi sauce. This roll was okay. The eel consisted of more skin than meat, which is a peeve of mine. In general, I feel like it's tough to find a place that serves meaty unagi in sushi rolls, so this was on par with other restaurants. The sizes of the rolls were reasonable with an ideal rice-to-filling ratio. For those who don't eat raw fish, Noburu offers several rolls with all cooked ingredients. This is a nice addition to Redmond and I look forward to tasting more off their menu in the future!

Go for the ramen ! The ramen is very good, the sushi is good but, I think the ramen is better. I get the tonkstsu ramen . This is a large restaurant with lots of seating. You order via QR code and lap check out on the same site. So it's very hands off service although servers are there to help and check in on you. I recommend this place , give it a try !

Great place for ramen ! The sushi is okay but the ramen is where it's at. Generous toppings and amazing flavor. It is a little pricey but because of the area of the restaurant it's understandable. The staff are always so nice when I come here. Lots of parking spaces for a place in downtown redmond. I recommend the original tonkatsu ramen or the spicy version.

Casual sushi spot located on strip mall. Great variety in the menu - ramen, rice bowls, sushi, sashimi. Brussel sprouts ($9) - an entire mount of crispy fried tasty brussel sprouts Seattle Roll ($10) - salmon and avocado, so good! Spider ($20) - a hefty roll with giant pieces of fried soft shell crab hanging out the sides. Fish was of okay quality, neatly made. I didn't try the ramen but it looked great. I loved the efficient order-on-phone process. Clean, brightly lit spot with Japanese decor.

Wow delicious. It was between this place or pho and we're glad we came here. The ramen was delicious and our katsu curry was delicious. This place seems way more authentic, we will be back for sure.

Cheers to another ramen spot in Redmond YAY! We tried these dishes: takoyaki, noburu red ramen, and tonkotsu ramen. All the dishes we tried were so well seasoned & comforting in this cold weather! I love how the restaurant is so spacious and has great seating varieties for either a dinner date or group gathering! The service is also quite fast :)

Great ramen spot with amazing broth! We ordered three different ramens (tonkotsu, black garlic, and red) and all raved about the deep but not overly salty broth and the generous toppings and noodles. I thought the black garlic was a bit too rich for my liking and will order a spicy ramen for my next visit. We also ordered takoyaki which was tasty. The restaurant is has both table/booth seating and bar seating. You can order via your phone through a table-specific QR code or with your waiter through a physical menu. Bathrooms are available and there is plenty of parking at the plaza the restaurant is in.

We have eaten here many times. Consistently excellent ramen, karage, and sushi. We also like the mango dome dessert.

Had the Katsu bowl and a salmon Handroll and wow. Both were spectacular. Great quality ingredients as well. Crispy and flavorful chicken. The only thing I think can improve on is how attentive the servers are but it wasn't super bad or anything. Just can be more in my opinion. Happy that I got to try this place.

Came here on a whim, because I was looking for a noodle place and I was headed to the Vietnamese place a couple doors down, but I saw this and decided to try it. We got the creamy chicken ramen, the veggie ramen with a side of pork, and the spicy chicken ramen. All the ramen's were delicious!! The fried brussels sprouts were really good as well. My son got the Chicken Karaage with rice no sauce. We also got a spider roll and a California roll. Nothing to talk about but I don't really like sushi anyways. All in all the service was good and the staff was pretty attentive.

The restaurant is located in Bella Bottega plaza and has a lot of parking, which is a bonus. The restaurant is big, clean and bright, good for a casual and quick meal. It is suitable for big groups. The decoration is nice and minimal. It is not too loud even with lots of tables filled which is great for having a conversation with your friends. My friend and I arrived at 6:30pm on a weekday and were seated immediately. There's a QR code on each table that you can view the menu and order from. The menu is huge with lots of options for ramen, sushi, rolls, appetizers and desserts. They also have a huge drink selections. We took a while to order because the menu was very big. The staff did not check up on us, which was great for me because I prefer to take my time and decide, but others might find this inconvenient to get attention from a staff member if you have any question. I ordered the Noburu Red ramen. The food came very fast, within 10-15 minutes of ordering. They are generous with the topping, the broth tastes yummy and not too salty. The meat slices were big, thin, I noticed they are not seared like some other ramen restaurants. The broth has the right amount of spiciness and is enjoyable. There are a lot of noodles. Overall it's a good bowl of ramen with good value for the price. After we finish, the staff was nice and was quick to check us out. I'll come back in the future to checkout more items on the menu.

This ends up the oddest customer experience I've had in a long time, but let me start with the basics. First time in this space since Sushiland left and I will say the interior is wonderful, spacious, and very clean. No wait for 5 on Thursday night at 5:15pm. Ordering is by QR Code, and while that seems straightforward, for 5 ppl, for sushi that means plates come out with no correlation to the person ordering. Son got salmon and rolls, and was finished before anyone else ate. Then I got my ramen and my wife got a dragon roll. My twin daughters waited for their 3 rolls to come. Several minutes later a board with 4 rolls arrives, and is set at the far end of the table by the girls. A few minutes later the waiter comes over to my wife and says 'did you order a dragon roll?'. She replies yes and shows that she is halfway thru her sushi. He leaves. A few minutes later he comes back and again to her he says, 'there is a dragon roll on that board down there'. My wife asks the girls if they got what they ordered and they said yes, and she said 'it looks like maybe the kitchen sent one too many dragon rolls". The waiter reaches down in front of my wife, to her half eaten roll, and says "I'll take this plate then" and proceeds to take it, and throw it out. UHHHH.... WHAT? If the kitchen makes an error, don't make it our inconvenience. We would have happily left the other roll on the board if they were adamant they didn't want it eaten, but this was amateur hour. Leadership has a teaching opportunity here. The tonkatsu ramen was fantastic - while they don't let you top or tare your ramen like a real ramen house, it had great flavor and mouthfeel. A few unchewable bamboo shoots. Sushi was filling and the sliced seafood was quite fresh and well sized. Rolls were a bit unbalanced with an overdose of avocado or drench of unagi sauce - just missed that balance that let the combination come thru. I would go again, but not in a bigger group.

A favorite curry katsudon spot wasn't open yet, so I checked the Yelp app and found Noburu Ramen and Sushi was available on 10/12/23. I luckily showed up right around 430pm and was seated immediately. Pretty much it started to fill up by the time within the next 30-45 minutes I was onsite. I experienced pretty much a hands off dining experience. After I was handed water, I was able to order off the QR code menu. Shortly after, my entire order was brought over to my table. It was a bit of a splurge ordering the following: hamachi roll ($9), CA roll ($9), and some nigiri - salmon belly ($8.50), kampachi ($8), and hotate ($10). With tax and tip, my dinner bill was well over $50! Everything was fresh and on point. I was able to relax and enjoy my meal before heading home after a workday.

My wife and I noticed this new ramen and sushi place that just opened and we had to try it out. Immediately after we walked in, we were greeted by someone and guided to a table. We ordered via QR code on the table but there is also ordering through a digital kiosk in the front. The workers are friendly and accommodating, checking up on us every few minutes. The ramen is a good balance of salty and savory; it comes with plenty of noodles and a good amount of meat. I also liked how large the Noburu bun was, compared to other places like Silverlake ramen, where the price is about the same. For desert, the warabimochi was sweet, warm, and chewy. There was pop and rap music playing in the background while we ate. The booths were comfy, space was clean, with dim lighting throughout.

Decided to give this place a try. The interior is nice, sushi bar counter and plenty of seating. Service was ok - they just brought my order never checking in again. What got me was - 1. The glass for my water was filthy. First there was something black floating in it. After I rinsed it and dumped the water into my bowl of miso (which doesn't come with the lunch and is extra), I poured some water into the glass only to see many floating particles - there was something dirty dried to the bottom of the cup - so gross 2. Two rolls were $25, the spicy salmon wasn't spicy 3. Everything is self service I might give them a try again once they're more established but for now Otto still is better hands down in the Redmond area

Do they have kinks to work out? I think so. Looking forward to trying since they opened and had the coming soon sign up for so long. Ordered lunch to go today and got a cup of miso, a California roll with real crab and a potato croquette. Came to $24 for reference. My order was ready in less than 10 minutes. I went in and walked down to the bar to grab it. Super easy. Glad I checked in my bag because there were no chopsticks. No utensils to speak of. I grabbed some myself and walked out. Unfortunately, there were also no soy sauce packets, so I ate my roll dry. Also, the wasabi was so bland I had to put so much on to even taste it. And the roll was just bland and almost too creamy... are they mayo obsessed? Keep reading- Miso was really bland as well. I was looking forward to that nice soybean flavor, but it wasn't there. I did like the amount of seaweed though. Finally, the potato croquette was a big surprise- it did not have Katsu sauce drizzled on it like I'm used to, but instead had a horrendous amount of kewpie mayonnaise. I don't like mayonnaise much and had to wipe off as much as I could with napkins..... from my car because they gave me none. I only ate half because I got too grossed out. Sad too because the croquette itself was tasty. They have many things that need improving, I think. Better to go packing, stronger flavored miso, cooling it on the mayo, etc. I will be back to try the ramen, however.

We found this place because it was open after 8p. Turns out, it is a newer establishment. The staff was gracious to seat us and kind. Our food was out very quickly and the decor is modern. The food was okay. The hamachi was off. It didn't taste fresh. The salmon skin roll was okay, but minimal flavor. The ramen broth was VERY good. The pork in the ramen was subpar, there could be a lot of improvement here. The Brussels sprouts were also very good, along with the Godzilla roll. Seared salmon for the win! Since the food was kind of hit or miss, I'd like to try a few different things here before writing it off.

TL;DR: extremely generous noodle proportions. Really fresh toppings. Broth flavorful and not overly salty or fatty! Parking: large shared lot. Atmosphere: music too quiet to hear, air is filled with echoey conversation, dinner bell dings, and sounds of the kitchen. Sound is not unbearable, but does sound like a full gymnasium with a built in kitchen, haha. Kid friendly: high chairs and booster seats available upon request. Take note of the color coordination of bowls--black bowls with white spoons and white bowls with black spoons. Pretty neat detail! The sushi plates with stairs are also really cool. Service: order at pay at the kiosk and then be seated OR be seated and scan the QR code on the table to order and pay. You will be provided a bottle and cup(s) to water yourself. The Excellent Food Safety Rating is a plus. Food was edible temperature when brought to the table and wasn't piping how like it was fresh off the grill or out of the pot--I personally prefer my food really hot at first to know that is is freshly made and cooked to the right temperature. Menu: on the kiosk or via a scannable QR code at your table. No descriptions but there are photos of the food. Takoyaki: a bit too sweet in my opinion. Each ball contains 1-2 small pieces of octopus and the breading is a bit on the mushy side. Was served like warm, which I wasn't really a fan of. Overall the taste was fine but I wouldn't go out of my way to order it again. Ramen: there are a TON of noodles -- very generous helping but you will run out of toppings quickly before finishing the noodles. Less soup than noodles I'd say when comparing to other ramen shops. I found myself moving the noodles aside to reach for some soup. Yes, the noodles reach all the way down to the bottom of the bowl! Tonkatsu Ramen: rich broth that's not overly salty or greasy! The pork chashu is cut really thinly and doesn't really stand out in the bowl at all in terms of flavor or texture. I found more tastebud satisfaction from the other toppings honestly. Creamy Chicken Ramen: creamy chicken alright! Perfect amount of salt but the cut of chicken was ever so slightly on the dry side. Toppings: Great toppings! Bean sprouts are nice and crunchy, mushrooms have a great bouncy texture, corn is juicy and sweet, bamboo shoots are springy, egg was egg-cellently flavored! :)

A nice cozy place which has come up recently. They do have a kiosk to order when you step in. And you would be taken to a table to be seated. We tried the spicy ramen (nice to have on a cool fall day), the jalapenos , a couple of sushi rolls and then pot stickers. All our orders were good and we dont mind going there once again if we are in the area. Its located in a strip mall like place and there is quite a lot of parking available there (there is a cinemas nearby). I am not sure if they would take orders after you get seated; so no comments over there.

Three stars because nothing really stood out, especially in an area with plenty of ramen options, plus for some below standard things. I wouldn't go back by choice, but if friends invited me I'd go. That is my 3 star bar. We over-ordered to really explore this new place. Across the table we had two different spicy ramen and one signature black garlic ramen, sushi, gyoza, calamari, Brussel sprouts, and coquette. My son is the sushi monster and liked this one primarily because it didn't have cucumber inside, though he still prefers and thinks kiku is the better value. Beyond that is was all pretty meh. The ramen was OK but flavor and noodle texture fell below others, with neither the spice nor the black garlic adding enough flavor to stand out. I will say our egg happened to be cooked perfectly though. The croquette was a bit over-dense inside, and covered with a mayonnaise which really wasn't my preference for these. The calamari was extremely chewy and over breaded. The gyoza, while looking like it had that beautiful crisp flour skirt, had a flavor somehow between a traditional/standard Chinese and Japanese option (so... weird...). Also they tasted burned and the skirt was chewy instead of crisp, across both orders. Service was OK, but the machines weren't working right to pay or order. Again, a recent grand opening so I'm not faulting them for this.

Casual eatery that has both sushi and ramen. Good food, not too pricey. Kids loved it, will be back.

Forget all these lame ass reviews. No one tells you there's a mini figurines wall! The best service. The best food, The sushi chef looked like he was having fun crafting. The presentation of the food was beautiful and i might have just been really hungry but the happiness I felt in that first bite of ramen was unmatched. Remember to tip the amazing service while you're there! Lovely little spot tucked in redmond

First time having lunch here after apartment hunting! Great area, great options and delicious garlic black oil ramen and crispy calamari! Love the interior of a restaurant in a great shopping center

Update: the latest pickup order has a live spider in the Sushi & Sashimi Combo box. Request refund on DoorDash and will not order again.

Cool spot to go to if you're craving some Ramen & Sushi. The quality of the food was good too. Definitely recommend!

TLDR: Good broth, meh everything else. Saturday 1/6/24 ~1:00pm, $17.62 after tip ~~~~~~~~~ Creamy Chicken Ramen ~~~~~~~~~ Final Score: 4.58/10 (3.5/10) Noodles: Below average quality noodles. Thin, overcooked, grocery-store tier. Not up to par for a restaurant with "Ramen" in the name. The noodles had a neutral flavor (not immediately bad), but lost any bite/chewiness they might have had since they were overcooked. There are many ramen-specific noodle vendors that many of the other shops use - an easy place for improvement. (6.7/10) Broth: Thick, creamy, savory chicken broth. The highlight of the bowl. There was a very specific chicken-flavor, more so than other "chicken" flavored ramens. Well seasoned with just the right amount of richness - without being too oily. They (or the vendor) definitely spend the time to boil the chicken meat/bones to get all that poultry flavor. Good. (5.8/10) Egg: A slight-above-average ajitama costs an additional $2.00. It's always tough when the egg isn't included, it's almost an additional ~15% of the base price to get a fundamentally "ramen" topping. The sweet-soy marinade flavor was standard, though, it could have been much stronger. THe soft-boil execution was average, some yolk curdling along the bottom edges but not offensively overcooked. Fine. Tough ask for +$2.00. (1.8/10) Meat: SAD chicken meat. Potentially the most plain, bland, and boring "main" meat topping I've had on a bowl of ramen. Usually, the "chicken" ramen bowls use the same marinade/cooking strategy as the pork-chashu, just substituting in chicken. This bowl comes with 3 thick pieces (huge volume-wise) of unseasoned, plain-baked, chicken breast. Any seasoning comes from touching the salty broth. If you took a frozen chicken breast, put it in the oven, didn't season it, then served it, you'd get this chicken chashu. (4.1/0) Misc Toppings: Standard topping choices with some filler. Bean sprouts, bamboo, corn, green onion, minced meat. The minced meat was actually the best topping in the bowl; sweet and salty ground-up asian-style meat. Much better than the chicken chashu. The combination of sweet corn, bamboo, and marinated meat threw off the balance of the bowl - too sweet vs. the savory broth. Nothing offensive. (4.8/10) Other: A weird bowl. The fundamental base-chicken broth was very promising, but the rest of the bowl fell apart. The overcooked/poor-quality noodles severely limit the ceiling of the bowl. Everything else was forgettable. *Weighted Scoring Formula: Noodles (25%), Broth (25%), Egg (15%), Meat (15%), Misc Top. (10%), Other (10%) Parking: Shared Redmond strip mall parking. Easy. Service: Fast, efficient, good for a large party. Food came out fast.

Excellent food and service, definitely try, we will be back again and again. Sashimi salad, poke salad, and the rolls were perfect!

My friend and I came here for dinner last week and all I can say is WOW! Noburu Ramen and Sushi took the place of the old Sushi Land in Redmond. It is a much trendier restaurant now and is no longer a conveyer belt sushi place. We came at around 7pm on a weeknight and it was fairly crowded. We were thus seated at the bar, which I didn't mind. You can order in various ways including by kiosk (for takeout orders) and QR code. You can also request a physical menu if that's your preference. My friend and I ordered by QR code and had no issues. Noburu has a large variety of choices. While Noburu is known for its ramen (at least according to the Yelp reviews), I was craving sushi. Noburu a variety of rolls, nigiri, and sashimi (including sockeye salmon and salmon belly!). I was torn between ordering the Godzilla roll and a side of salmon belly sashimi and the chirashi bowl, but I ended up going with the chirashi bowl ($35 + tip and tax) so that I could sample a variety of their fish. My friend ordered the black ramen and a side of sockeye salmon nigiri. Service was quick and we got our food within 10-15 minutes after ordering. My friend's ramen came out piping hot. The portion was generous and had more noodles than broth, which she preferred. It also had a large piece of cha siu (pork), half a marinated soy egg, and a handful of tasty marinated bamboo shoots. While she said it was quite salty (as ramen tends to be), she enjoyed her meal overall. She also loved the sockeye salmon nigiri, which tends to be a rarity at restaurants these days. I was pleasantly surprised when my chirashi bowl arrived. It was HUGE with more varieties of fish than I had ever seen in a chirashi bowl before - salmon, sockeye salmon, seared tuna (which I thought was beef at first haha), hamachi, (yellow fin) hotate (scallop - literally the largest raw scallop I've ever had), tamago (egg), albacore tuna, and mackerel. The pieces were large but tender. The rice was perfectly cooked at the bottom and not overly sweet or sticky. It also came with a generous portion of marinated seaweed, radish, wasabi, and ginger. Each bite was a bite of heaven, and I couldn't have been happier with my choice. Sure, it's a little under double the price of a chirashi bowl at Musashis or Donburi Station, but it's still reasonably priced in my opinion as the portions are very generous and many other Japanese restaurants charge $45+ for a bowl of this quality. I've had lots of chirashi bowls in Seattle, but this is the BEST chirashi I've ever had and I wish I could eat this everyday! The servers are friendly and attentive. It's also cool seeing the sushi chefs cut whole fish and also sear fish with a flame torch right in front of you. The restaurant was very clean including the bathrooms. I can't wait to come back and enjoy another chirashi bowl, perhaps with a Matcha IPA or tiramisu latte next time! Overall: 6/5 for food, 5/5 for service, 5/5 for atmosphere

I have a lot of leeway with ramen. It's like art, you gotta take the time to appreciate what they're doing with the flavors and such. But there's objectively bad ramen and there's what my compatriots got served, then there's what I got served. Hold on to till the end for the unpleasant surprise. First: Ordering. You're hustled to a table and told to order off the QR code. The site isn't bad, it's just tedious and I had a bad habit of somehow exiting the page entirely, leaving me to scan and re-add my cart -- because if you reload the page, your cart goes away. (Also, the phrase "add to cart" for a restaurant should be considered a crime against humanity). Tablemates got spicy ramen and I got a tonkatsu bowl. All of these were mistakes. I figured I'd get some tempura shrimp to round things out, this was a mistake. I dared the Strawberry drink on the menu. This was even more of a mistake. It took us this side of 45 minutes to get our food. The drink I ordered came quickly, sure, and we had several refills on water, but it was a not-really-busy friday evening around 7. This wasn't rush hour dinner by any stretch and most tables we saw were taking upwards of 30 minutes or more to get their dishes, often with dishes falling behind. I realize that out of order dishes are a standard for izakaya service, but this was beyond the pale. I spent 10 minutes munching on tempura shrimp after my tablemates had gotten their ramen before my katsu bowl arrived. First, the drink: I have a bit of a sweet tooth and this was too much. A milk based drink that I couldn't finish. I don't remember if one of my tablemates got alcohol or not, which is his standard. The tempura shrimp was borderline ok. Lots of overbatter, almost perfect fry time, but the shrimp are anemic and shrink during cooking to such a degree that half the tempura is an empty tube that once had shrimp in it. The sauce was generic from-a-bottle sauce. Served above warm but clearly not fresh from the fryer. The ramen was a mixed bag: Inconsistent between the two bowls of what should of otherwise been identical bowls of ramen in terms of spice, amount of chashu, etc. The broth tastes like an off the shelf broth with some more kombu added. This took them over 40 minutes to prepare. The preparation for ramen should take under 5 minutes from order to prepared: You dip the par-boiled noodles into water for two minutes, warm the bowl with some hot water, dump noodles, add broth, add toppings, etc. Making a sandwich takes about the same amount of time as ramen. It should not have taken 45 minutes to get tempura shrimp and two bowls of ramen out the door. The tonkatsu bowl was an absolute disaster. First, it was small. For the price we paid for it, not anywhere near worth it. The bowl was *small*, filled 80% with rice, had more cabbage than tonkatsu by volume, and the tonkatsu was tiny. I've had a lot of tonkatsu from a lot of places, and the cheap takeout tonkatsu from a local chain is bigger than this was. The cabbage was fine, whatever. It was drenched in tonkatsu sauce to the point I couldn't taste the meat or any seasonings in the batter, just the sauce. What made the bowl the worst was that the rice was so undercooked I couldn't eat it. It was crunchy, and the little that I did eat soon come to bite me. This was rice that had not been prepared correctly, in any direction. It wasn't shortgrain, it wasn't fully cooked, and it wasn't good eats. It took a while for us to figure out that someone will *eventually* come by to take your money. There's no way to pay for your meal from the app so... do with that information what you will. That was the extent of the service, too: Getting placed at a table, told that you can order through the qr code, refills on water, and having to beg to get the cheque. we left unsatisfied and what was going to be a 3...4 star review of "it just isn't for us" went straight to hell when I got home, bloated and yet still hungry, only for my meal to go right down the drain with what is either rapid onset food poisoning or straight up bad food. It was miserable. Total cost per person: Around $20-25. Would not recommend Noburu to someone I didn't like. There is better ramen in the area.

We only had cucumber salad - which was sweeter than we typically like and 3 sushi rolls and they were okay but definitely middle line sushi - I would come back and try other items but u wouldn't give them more than 3/5 for sushi place.

I stopped by here for quick casual lunch on Saturday afternoon after chaotic time at paik noodles. The ambiance is very modern casual unlike typical small cozy ramen humble places I am used to in Japan. This place is Very spacey and little awkward floor plan. I did not try sushi and I am not sure if I would want to try either. It does not have any authentic Japanese feel. So with this prejudice mind, I ate the ramen and it was good. I tried spicy miso ramen and everything was good. I would not call it great but it was good broth, chashu had less fatty parts and I enjoyed it. I will def come back here.

The ramen was good but i think it seemed smaller portion than what expected. The mushroom was so so. But will definitely get the ramen again. Overall service was good.

Great for family. Comfortable and spacious space that has a nice Japanese ambiance. Ordering is by QR code. Love the Korokke. Friendly servers. Reasonable price. They just added a section selling snacks and toys/collectables. Great idea!

Another delicious, hearty bowl of ramen, please! Noburu black signature ramen does not disappoint with a strong garlic flavor that does not overpower the thick tonkatsu broth. Generous portion of pork chashu with a perfectly cooked egg rounded out this solid dish. I would have slurped up every last drop had I not dropped my phone in my soup - gasp! The decor has a clean, warm Japanese aesthetic. Service was prompt and attentive. Note - for dining in, you do not need to use the giant McDonald's like screen when you walk in. Instead order at your table with a live human being like the civilized person that you are.
