Ramen Nakamura

I tried the oxtail ramen here and I didn’t quite like it. The soup was far too salty and oily, and the ramen itself was overwhelmingly salty—it honestly tasted like something from the grocery store rather than a fresh, crafted bowl. The soup base also reminded me of pre-packaged spice mixes you’d find at the store. On the positive side, the oxtail portion was generous although it’s a bit dry. I also tried the dumplings, but they were very oily. Overall, the flavors didn’t feel balanced, and I wouldn’t come back for the ramen.

We ate here 5 years ago and it was even better this time. -The broth is liquid gold and sooooo incredibly flavorful & delicious. -the oxtail Ramen was amazing that we had to come back again. Definitely must try. -Super attentive in excellent service. Your water glass is never 1/2 empty. :) -absolutely loved the miso butter Ramen.

I really enjoyed the bowl of spicy ramen; it was very flavorful and served in a generous bowl. My only issue was that the bill arrived early, just as I was about to order another bowl of that delicious noodle goodness. Oh well! I paid and went off in search of more ramen. Enjoy!

My never ending quest to try ramen from different shops continues! Before I try any ramen shop, I study the menu and look at the pictures as if I were going to be tested on it lol. I just like to be prepared and don't want to be surprised or disappointed. ATMOSPHERE: The shop is tiny, with just a u-shaped counter that seats about 20 people or so. We had late dinner, around 10:15pm on a Friday night, so we got seats without any wait. They do have queue ropes at the front door, so you know they get slammed during peak hours, only confirmed by the photos you see on Yelp. FOOD: Oxtail Shoyu Ramen Combo This is the only combo that comes with a regular sized bowl of ramen, so the server told me. Regardless of the menu description stating "Shio flavor," I was able to opt for shoyu. It also came with 3 pieces of gyoza, and small fried rice. The ramen broth tasted really good at first sip, but then became just a salty, beef broth-like flavor, without any depth or character. It came with about 3 pieces of tender oxtail which I picked at, as I'm not one to suck on bones. A separate dish of grated ginger and splash of shoyu was advised as a dipping sauce for the oxtail. The noodles were white, chewy, and went well with the dish. Toppings were slivers of fresh ginger, celery, white & green onions, garlic chips, bean sprouts, and fresh mushrooms. Not a fan. Gyoza The 3 pieces were perfectly seared and tender, with a tasty filling. One of the best I've had. Highly recommended. Fried Rice Very mildly flavored with green onions, egg, and bits of char siu. Mainstream at best. Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen My spouse's dish. I do not care for plain tonkotsu broths as the color turns me off. I had a spoonful of broth just to taste it. I was surprised at the depth in flavor which was slightly creamy, slightly savory, and very subtle. SERVICE: The two elderly ladies (who look alike) were sweet yet silent, and did a lot of hand gesturing. They brought me the wrong ramen but quickly corrected it. Due to the signage that states to present a "membership card" when ordering because it can't be changed when cashing out, I asked one of the ladies if they do a kamaaina discount. She smiled, made the palms up gesture and sort of directed it to the other lady helping her, so I took it as to "please ask her." So, I waited for the other lady to finish what she was doing, then asked the same thing, and she replied "YES! YES! OKAY!!!!" like I was being aggressive. *shrugs* I have no idea lol. TIP: Cash only. OVERALL: Fair pricing, okay ramen. Not a fan of the oxtail version.

Authentic mom & pop shop for genuine ramen. Huge bowl! It's a small shop like you'd find in Japan...and open late like Japan. Know a hint if Japanese & you'll be fine!

My GF and her dad went here for ramen, him and i got the half size spicy ramen with a combo c of pork garlic fried rice and gyoza. The broth was sooo good and the pork was perfect in all 3 dishes. Its A LOT of ramen in a regular size so keep that in mind. The kid size is smaller than the half size ramen. I highly suggest coming here.

We ordered three bowls of ramen — one spicy oxtail ramen, which is their signature dish. The broth was okay, but the oxtail meat wasn’t very tender and a bit hard to chew, nothing really impressive. We also had one miso and one shoyu ramen, both quite average and not particularly tasty. The gyoza was honestly the worst Japanese dumplings I’ve ever had. The fried rice was decent, though far too salty. Overall, it feels more like a fast-food style restaurant with minimal service, though they do refill water frequently. If you just want a quick meal, it’s an acceptable option.

Overall a pretty mediocre experience. The food was good, but $2.5 for a few chili flakes what is that about?(To make your ramen spicy you have to pay extra. You are not getting some special house made chili oil. Just generic chili flakes you normally get for free at any restaurant.) The server never once asked us how everything is going. Very disappointing for a ramen shop.

I had been wanting to come here for the longest time and finally made it. When we sat at the counter, they kind of forgot about us and didn't give us a menu or water for about five minutes while people came in after us got both, so I had to ask for that. I took one star off for this particular reason. However, the rest of the service was great and the Oxtail Ramen was amazingly good. The soup was tasty, presentation was wonderful, and oxtail was delicious. I'd love to try other menu items in the near future.

This ramen shop in Hawaii is a must-visit, known for its authentic Japanese flavors and unique Hawaiian flair, drawing many food enthusiasts. As you step inside, you'll feel a strong Japanese ambiance, from the decor to the service, reflecting Japan's meticulousness and warmth. The ramen menu is diverse, each bowl meticulously crafted with rich, flavorful broth and firm, springy noodles. Topped with fresh ingredients like chashu, seaweed, egg, and scallions, every bite is a delight. The tonkotsu ramen is especially recommended, with its broth simmered for hours to achieve a rich, creamy flavor, and melt-in-your-mouth chashu that garners high praise. Additionally, the shop offers a variety of side dishes and drinks, such as gyoza, fried chicken, and specialty juices, enhancing your dining experience. Both locals and tourists rave about this ramen shop. The warm hospitality of the owner and staff makes you feel right at home. If you visit Hawaii, don't miss the chance to enjoy a steaming bowl of ramen here, savoring its unique flavors and the welcoming atmosphere.

They nickel and dime their customers and the ramen isn't impressive. Wouldn't come again. Detailed breakdown below: **Service, 2/5** From the get-go, the restaurant isn't customer-friendly at all. The levels of nickel and diming were really off-putting. For example: not having a restroom, limiting seating time to 40 minutes even though it took nearly 15 minutes to get our ramen, charging to take home leftovers (!?), imposing a minimum gratuity, and imposing a minimum spend per customer. This laundry list of rules and extra charges leaves a bad taste in your mouth, and the staff isn't even warm or friendly to compensate. **Price & portion, 3/5** Portion size is decent, but quality of ramen is questionable and doesn't make it worth it. **Taste of the food, 2.25/5** I got the Hakata Tonkotsu ramen. While the broth was savory and not bad, the texture of the noodles wasn't chewy or springy at all. I also wasn't a fan of the toppings -- all the pickles and random veggies both felt like cheap fillers and didn't complement the tontoksu broth. The single slice of chashu wasn't even particularly tender.

This is a very small place but we happened to come at a time when there was no wait. No frills but you will get a giant bowl of ramen. The upcharge for the spicy version is a little much. I liked the other components in the bowl, such as the garlic chips. Now I want to try the pork ramen.

Overall very expensive and a little too salty for my taste. We ordered several things and it was either very salty or very bland. The gyoza and rice were a nice touch but for quite a long wait this place was not worth it. You also will feel incredibly rushed while eating which is another downside.

The restaurant is near the strip by the Royal Hawaiian Center and has limited seating so be sure to plan accordingly if you have a larger party. Like I'm talking maybe less than 30 seats. Thankfully, the 4 of us were able to sit next to each other. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, asking if we had any questions about the different ramen offerings although we had already come with the intention of ordering the Ox Tail Ramen. The ramen came out quickly as expected from a ramen spot and it was piping hot. The portion you get for the Ox Rail Ramen which made it worth the price although I wish the Ox Tail itself had a bit more flavor. It tasted a little bland despite it being very tender. I was also not a big fan of the broth although the rest of my party enjoyed it. I also got the Butter Miso Ramen and it was very rich to where it was hard to taste the broth flavor towards the end of the sitting. Despite that, it was still enjoyable. Maybe I'll request for a smaller slice of butter next time. The meat was soft and tasted as expected although it was a bit soggy as it was placed under all the other toppings rather than to the side of them. The noodles were very bouncy which I enjoyed and it had a good bite to them.

Decent vegetarian ramen and garlic fried rice, but not my favorite ramen. It might be fantastic if you like pork--all of the meat ramens are pork broth (most of them) or include a slice of pork. You can request the vegetarian ramen, which is pricy for noodles and sprouts, bamboo, garlic, and green onions. I got the set meal with a small garlic fried rice, which was probably tastier than the ramen. The ramen was alright, just a pretty plain broth. For ramen, I like the chicken broth at Onoya, especially with yuzu. The service here was good, friendly, helpful, and quick. Most or all of the beverages come in cans or bottles, including the tea.

Would love to try authentic ramen and found this place but under my expectations. Foods just that, didn't flavorful and plain also taste get worse with the rules that showed the information on the wall. Minimum $18 spends per person, 40 minutes limit for dining, no restroom for customers and servers pressure to eat quick. All of these are making the weird experience and bad ambiance. Not enjoyable and not recommended.

It was a cold night and we decided to have some ramen. Wait wasn't so bad. The place has limited seating tho. The staff was okay. We tried the oxtail ramen and shoyu ramen. Both were flavorful and delicious! Just a bit pricey for the portion presented. But I think I'd come back again..

Decent ramen - tasty and great broth! It's a small restaurant and first come first serve. It's bar seating only and definitely reminiscent of Japan. The staff was great, friendly and great service. Would come again!

They're famous for their oxtail ramen so be sure to try that. Broth is not too salty and meat was tender. There is limited seating and no parking. If you're staying in Waikiki, it's within walking distance. As some of the other reviews have mentioned they do have a ton of rules like limited dining time of 45 min so keep that in mind if you plan to socialize with friends.

Tried this place last time we were in town and it wasn't bad. Came by for an early dinner, it's bar seating only. Service is nice, but can feel rushed. We ordered the Spicy Ramen (medium hot). It had a kick to it. The ramen had fried garlic, bamboo shoots, onions, bean sprouts, and a preserved cucumber of some sort. Shio ramen, fried rice and 3 piece gyoza. Was tasty and would come back again for a quick meal.

Good soy sauce Broth In the Tokyo ramen. Daughter ate all the noodles plus some of mine when she got the kids size ramen without bean sprouts. Next time I should say no bamboo shoots because she picked those out and stuck them in my bowl. Husband got the muso ramen and liked it. I'm not as fond of the slice of pork put in the ramen. There's chili oil on the counter but if you want Sriracha sauce, you have to ask. Seating is around a u shaped counter with stools. This could be difficult if you have young children. Quick service.

We came back to give Ramen Nakamura another try, and unfortunately, I'm standing by my original review. We ordered 2 ramen combos, one with shio ramen and a small fried rice and one with miso ramen and 3 pieces of gyoza. The ramen was literally Sun ramen that you can buy in packets at the grocery store for $2 each. The fried rice was tiny and needed a lot of extra seasoning, like soy sauce, pepper, and chili oil. Honestly, I would have added salt to it as well if there was salt on the table as a condiment. The gyoza are clearly frozen gyoza that have been heated back up. All the same ridiculous rules and charges still apply at Ramen Nakamura, like the fact that there's no bathroom for customers, they charge $0.10 for straws, they charge for takeout containers, etc. This time, we also learned that there's a "per person minimum" to sit down in Ramen Nakamura. There was a party of 2 across from us, and one person stated that she didn't want to eat. They then got into an argument with a waitress, who stated that because Ramen Nakamura is "a small shop," they have to enforce a per person minimum charge. Keep in mind, Ramen Nakamura was 25% full when this happened. Service is rushed, brusque, and overall not very friendly. Because we were sitting near the kitchen, we saw a man pick something out of a wok with his hands and throw it on the ground while cooking. All said and done, we spent $50+ at Ramen Nakamura for literally 2 small bowls of Sun ramen, 3 frozen gyoza, and a tiny bowl of fried rice. Will absolutely skip and never come back in the future.

Been coming here for years and one of the ramen my wife swears by is the ox tail ramen. Asians know what's up on that. Tonight we dined as a quick dinner and still doesn't disappoint. For those who would pick on the "nickel & diming," don't understand Asian mentality, "we here to make $$." First of all, there's no bathroom because there's no space! it's a hole in the wall which exist a lot in Asia. In fact, this would be a street vendor in Singapore where the community bathrooms exist in a central location. There's a 40 min time limit because, they expect you to just eat and go because it's a small location. For that matter, the people waiting outside also expect you to eat and go. I've seen families as well as girlfriends sit there and chat. You're taking up space people! If you go with a party and someone doesn't want to eat, DON'T GO, you're taking up space for a paying customer. We were a party of 3 tonight and my daughter didn't want a lot. So I got the combo set C which comes with gyoza and fried rice with the ramen. With the ox tail that my wife ordered, it came to about $20/person for the three of us. If you can't finish, choose the 1/2 order option! BTW...unless you're egregiously abusing stated policies, they don't say anything. Most people are in and out within 40 min from when they get their food. I think it's very easy for people to forget that there's a whole world outside of the USA and what you're used to can be different by other cuisine and cultural standards. For example, for those picky people, try France where there's no tipping...then you'll be pleasantly surprised. Either way, try to see it from a different perspective. Also, there are at least 14 regional styles of ramen, so unless you're an expert in all, you're only stating a matter of preference...as am I. I do like Ramen Nakamura. After ramen, fried rice, and gyoza, it's a fairly hearty meal and you should leave full.

The papaya salad and curry are delicious. The service...don't expect a conversation or much assistance. There was a weird busser or server or host that would come to the table and not say anything. He dropped off some water and took the spice tray without a word. Other than that, the food is amazing and just spicy enough. The people seem to themselves and respectful. A nice, private place to eat.

Found it accidentally. Tour bus stopped nearby. Ordered two kinds of Ramen soup . Tokyo Rsmen and Shio Ramen. Both were very good .i finished mine .My only complain they give only one slice of meat .

This place blew my mind! My friend recommended this place and so we decided to come and normally there's a long line but the day we went there was no line but so we got pretty lucky. However, when we were eating, we saw a long line and was glad we ditched that. Haha Parking: there is some street parking but it gets pretty packed so we parked at a nearby structure which was around $3-5. Food: we ordered the miso ramen and a combo of the potstickers. I normally would get tonkotsu ramen but wanted to try their miso since they had a star next to it and I'm so glad I did because it was so good! The soup had the perfect saltiness and the noodles were thick and chewy which I liked. The potstickers were also very good and super crispy on the outside. Ambience: the place was pretty small and can probably fit only 10-15 customers. But the food came out super quick, thus we left really quick too. 10/10 would come back again!

Last I was here I left them a 5-star review because I was so insanely impressed with how delicious and flavorful the ramen was. I'm not even the biggest ramen fan, but I seriously spent a year craving their miso ramen and they were one of our first stops once we came back to the island. Sadly, it didn't hit the same way! I'm not sure what they changed because I ordered the exact same miso vegetable ramen, but it was lacking significantly in flavor and the veggie gyozas had so much ginger in them, it was very overpowering. Bring back the old quality! It wasn't bad, but it was just fine.

Worst Ramen I ever had !!! No flavor and the eggs are cold .i am a Ramen lover, I tried lots of Ramen places in LA, and Hawaii. Also had ramen in Japan. I thought Honolulu will have great Ramen , you won't go wrong with it . But I was wrong , this is the worst Ramen I ever had by far .

Small place, always busy. We got lucky walking for 5 people get seated right away. Price range as it's economy inflation for gigantic bowl of ramen around $18-$22, best would be combo for one price. They do offering smaller size bowl of ramen, also a combo as well. Flavor in general great taste, very nice cooked to perfection noodle. It will be everyone's favorite dinner spot.

We had a food critic friend recommend this restaurant but this ramen joint was similar to every other ramen joint that we've frequented. It's not bad, but it is also not special. The noodle is not house made but rather purchased from a noodle shop that supplies noodles to nearly all the noodle places in Waikiki. I had the butter corn ramen which had great flavor. My friend had the ramen with the fried rice as a side and it was definitely not the delicious Japanese style fried rice that many ramen places serve. The ambiance would be "dive." One thing to note is that they do require each person to purchase at minimum $18, so it's not a place for sharing nor a late or post dinner snack.

70 bucks for a mini ramen set and regular ramen set. Smallest bowl of regular ramen ever had. Quality is so so. Atmosphere sucks. Never going back

An absolute go to when I'm in Waikiki Hawaii. I have eaten here three times and love this spot. The Ramen bowls are large with a lot of flavor. They offer unique Ramen combinations and you can personalize a bowl. The service is extremely fast and friendly. The place is very small and you will often run into a line outside. the waitlist tends to move extremely fast and it's worth the wait.

Five stars for Ramen Nakamura! This intimate and cozy restaurant offers an impressive selection of ramen, gyoza, and fried rice, with a separate menu of vegetarian and vegan options. The spicy ramen was my favorite, and I'm definitely going to have it again before the end of my trip! The service is speedy, friendly, welcoming, and based on a first come first served basis. Don't let the tourist filled streets keep you away from the gem. It's truly worth it!

The restaurant is conveniently located at Waikiki. The service is quick and mostly clean. Food was quick and hot but it was okay. Wasn't as superb as previously.

When you are passing their entry, you usually find a swarm of hungry diners eager to get their table. Always having FOMO, I had to get myself in line to see what the hype was all about. Everything on their menu looks so good it's hard to decide what to get. Oxtail ramen seems to be their specialty. Meat, fall of the bone tender. Broth, rich full of goodness and collagen. Their Yakisoba was a generous portion, full of flavor. Definitely get some gyoza with your meal. It's hard not to want to order everything

Came in and were welcomed warmly. No wait on a Thursday afternoon. The seating/style was reminiscent of some ramen places in Japan with bar style seating only Got a set with tonkatsu and fried rice. Ramen broth was good, flavorful. Noodles were bouncy. The chasiu was ok, a little dry/tough. The egg was not flavored/jammy. Fried garlic topping was good. The fried rice was bland. Overall, would likely not visit again but happy to have tried it.

Stopped by here after a full day at the beach. We were a group of 4 and we were able to sit together in the U-shaped table. Place was very small and can get stuffy inside. Their menu featured oxtail ramen and my husband and I decided to give it a try. The broth wasn't as hot as I wanted it to be and it tasted like regular chicken broth imho. Also, the oxtail wasn't tender so that was disappointing. The server gave us small bowls with fresh minced ginger and some soy sauce for dipping our oxtail meat which was good btw. But I had to pry the meat off the bones with my fingers to dip it in the sauce so that wasn't a great experience. I didn't care for the bean sprouts and there was celery in my ramen which I've never had in a ramen before. Overall, it just tasted different. For $26, I was expecting it to be good but it was more of a flop.

I remember the first time I came here I was absolutely blown away by the food. It was priced well, portions size was perfect and the soup was so good, not as overly salty like other ramen places and the spice not overpowering. I knew I would be back. On this visit, I noticed prices had increased and the flavors, while still good, it was just not as mind blowing as before. Adding Set C to the spicy ramen was $30! When I ordered the Set C (fried rice + gyōza) with my noodles, the fried rice came out really quick. I suspected they pre-made a batch and kept it warm. It was indeed warm, not piping hot like I remembered, and a bit mushy. It also lacked the "wok taste" that it used to have. Maybe because I came before the dinner rush hour, the batch I got was sitting for a bit and got soggy? The seasoning of the fried rice seemed different too. Overall, it was OK. Still decent but just not what I had before. Fried rice aside, the noodles were still delicious. The spicy ramen had a perfect level of spice accenting the soup. The hakata ramen had the best soup flavor and the shio ramen is your plain vanilla - basic and simple.

Nah stop the cap. The name makes you think this is a Japanese Restaurant but it ain't . It's a Chinese Restaurant pretending to be an Authentic Japanese. The store looks Japanese but it ain't. And I fell for it, from the good reviews and stars. The ox-tail ramen is just a Chinese noodle dish. I mean it was aight but I came here for some Japanese Ramen that broth that had oxtail. Another big giveaway is the egg. Bruh the egg is hard boiled as well as not being included in the ramen like most Japanese restaurants. The ingredients on the counter is also a big giveaway of Chinese condiments. This is a legit tourist trap.

Food (3/5) I got the Spicy Ramen ($18) and my bf got the Shoyu Ramen ($16). It was not worth. Perhaps it's also because I prefer a deeper, creamier broth and the broth was a different style, lighter and thinner. Price (3/5) Each bowl of ramen will cost you $15 and up. Though it's in a touristy area I still feel like the price is steep for what you get. Wait Time (4/5) We came ~8pm on a weekend and waited ~30mins before being seated. Food came fairly quickly. Ambiance (4/5) Cute little ramen shop where you sit elbow to elbow with your neighbors. Make sure not to accidentally make eye contact with the customers across the way (seating is in a horseshoe or U-shape). Service (5/5) No concerns. Staff were efficient. Parking/Access (5/5) Located on Kalakaua Ave with many hotels and restaurants in the area. It was close to our hotel within walking distance. Not bad yet not good. It is very convenient and has reasonable hours. To be honest, if I had the choice I would rather make instant ramen.

good food and a must for ramen if you have the craving .. .. service is fast, efficient and it's widely noted that you have like 45 mins to eat your meal and carry on. Food was great, just wasn't a fan of the whole "hurry up and eat" vibe. check it out for the ramen though, just make it quick!

Wasn't outstanding but was still quite enjoyable. Seating is cramped due to the place being so small but it was alright. I'd give this place a 7.75/10.

Really good spicy ramen. I usually don't eat the added veggies/meats that ramen comes with (I'm usually a noodles and broth kinda girl), but I ate everything that it came with and it was extremely good! Service was good. I also liked how they have dividers in between parties, so it doesn't feel like you're eating with other people plus if they cough, you don't get as paranoid. Lol. Would definitely recommend this place.

I came here and got the spicy ox tail ramen combo with gyoza and it was pretty good. I wouldn't say it was the absolute best ramen that I've ever had but it was pretty solid. I was a bit disappointed that the spicy version of the ox tail ramen just meant some spicy pepper flakes sprinkled on top though. I wish it was more of a redder soup. The ox tail was delicious though and it came with so much of it so that was definitely worth!! It's also such a unique dish that I haven't seen elsewhere. The gyozas were not my favorite. they weren't crispy and I wasn't the biggest fan of the filling. If you come here, be prepared for a long wait. My friends and I waited for around an hour for a table of 4. The seating for the restaurant is all bar seating and there isn't much of it, so it would definitely be difficult to get seats for more than 4 people. I would recommend a smaller group if you plan on coming here!

Let's start this with one simple fact: I don't like ramen...or I didn't until I tried ramen from here. It was AMAZING! Delicious! Fantastic!! And the fried rice is probably in my all time favorites ever! There's commonly a line to get it BUT it's worth the wait. They run a fast, efficient, and tasty spot. This is one you don't want to miss!! FYI- when traveling we don't repeat restaurants...however, we will be returning tonight for our 3rd time this trip Also- they do accept credit cards

Literally the BEST ramen I have ever had!!! The meat was so tender and the ramen broth was so flavorful! I would want to go back to Hawaii just to eat here. Their service is fast & efficient and you can tell their staff works really hard to please the customers. It's a cute little restaurant where the seating is somewhat circular and the servers tend to you in the middle. I love the set up and would highly recommend the oxtail ramen! I literally crave tasting their delicious ramen again!

3.5 stars Ramen Nakamura is located next to Tommy Bahama further out from the Waikiki area and Kalakaua Avenue. They do not have reservations and you put your name on the list and wait for them to call your name. It's a small shop with only counter top seating. I got the spicy ramen ($18) and an order of the char siu ($4 for three slices). The ramen was standard with a good spice level but overall wasn't anything spectacular. They have a $16 minimum per person and a 40 minute limit, so it's almost required that each person get a bowl of ramen. If you have a big party or have to wait a long time to get seated, I'd take my chances to find food elsewhere. It's good but not sure if it's worth waiting a long time for.

3 stars for opening late, but otherwise kind of lackluster. It's a very humble ramen here. They have a min charge of $18pp. Basically, it's one bowl of ramen per person as ramen starts at $18. Oxtail ramen is $26. Towards the end of the night they run out of oxtail

If you're from Orange County or Los Angeles, this ramen shop may disappoint you. The best thing about this place are its late hours. The line is insanely long. You can have one person wait in line while you check out other shops nearby and then switch spots. Inside this small ramen shop, all seating surrounds the bar, so it would be difficult for larger groups to eat here together. Service is decent. The ox tail ramen has underwhelming flavor.

This place is not very big so if you have a big group its very hard to sit together. Broth for the Ramen was excellent. I really enjoy my bowl of Oxtail Ramen. I thought maybe the Miso Ramen could use another piece or two of meat; my son was not full after he finished his bowl of noodles. If you don't eat pork, your only options for ramen are the oxtail bowls, and veggie bowl...

I really liked the experience at Ramen Nakamura. We ordered the Hakata Toonkatsu Ramen and the Tokyo Ramen set C. The ramens were both very delicious and the broth was very rich. Set C came with gyoza and fried rice and I thought both were pretty good, but we added some chili oil to make it taste a bit better. The service was amazing. They were very quick to take our order and bring out our food. I also really liked how the seating was formatted so that everyone sits around the center of the restaurant and the servers were in the middle. I would definitely come back!

Food: The broth was not salty at all, which is great. Though, the oxtail and ramen itself tasted normal to me. I liked it though and would be open to having it again. Service: Free WiFi and server mixes ginger and soy sauce in front of you, which are both nice. Though, the wait to be seated and spending requirement per person is honestly not worth the ramen in my opinion. Ambiance: very small inside which offers an intimate dining experience and easy access to servers.

Ramen Nakamura really knows what they're doing. From their check in and seating process to their ramen, everything was pretty efficient considering their limited seating. Every time I've come here I usually get some type of ramen set. I haven't ever upgraded to get the garlic fried rice, but I really enjoyed it. My boyfriend and I enjoyed our ramen. Since we just recently visited Japan, we were excited to have some good ramen. The noodles aren't as good, but the broth and everything else was very good!

My bowl was ok. It was a bit salty & wasn't super spicy, it was about a 5.6/10 on the spicy scale There was no protein & tofu wasn't offered, I assumed it would come include, I didn't check if they even had any tofu with the vegetarian bowls. I give a 4/5 stars because the vegetarian gyozas were tasty & my family enjoyed their pork & beef ramen bowls. The service was good & fast, always checking on us and filling our waters. The space is VERY small, so having large parties & sitting together is impossible, get here early because it fills up FAST. Overall 4/5 on ambiance very small & cozy

We tried their spicy ramen and oxtail ramen. Both are amazing! We had to waited in line for a while but we would do it again.

Stopped here as it was one of the few places open for dinner a little later. The ramen was ok. The service was pretty fast but it was more like and order, eat, get out. I'm sure they're used to a larger amount of customers going in and out but it was a slower night. There wasn't really much to this place and the ramen didn't stand out very much. I dont think i would come back unfortunately.

We had the ox tail ramen combo. Updated rice to shrimp pork fried rice. It's overrated won't come back. The ox tail is cooked without marination. The broth is very plain. The ramen noodles texture just like Maruchan that I had in college. Service is fine like you have your order put in, checked out and that's it. Also, FYI this place has no restroom and no beer.

It's okay. Pretty average tasting. A bit pricey. I prefer pork broth over ox. Probably won't eat here again.
