"Union Ramen is a long-anticipated solo spot from Nhat Nguyen, and it’s lived up to the hype. The casual restaurant debuted on Magazine Street in 2020 with a menu of chicken broth-based ramen, salads, poke bowls, and a changing menu of Vietnamese small plates, and a bar that can be relied on for fresh seasonal cocktails." - Clair Lorell
"This much-anticipated debut solo venture from former Kin chef Nhat Nguyen has lived up to the hype. Ramen fans from around the city have descended to the charming Magazine Street storefront over the last few years, but diners can expect so much more than just Nguyen’s rich, chicken broth-based varieties. There’s also a creative Vietnamese/“East meets West” small plate menu, with dishes like a confit mushroom Caesar salad and purse dumplings stuffed with pimento cheese. Seasonal cocktails from the bar always hit the mark." - Clair Lorell, Eater Staff

"I noted Union Ramen’s Lunar lunch special: for $24 (available 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.) you get a starter choice of crawfish or shrimp lumpia or sweet and spicy wings plus a bowl of tori or miso ramen; this Magazine Street destination for ramen and mazemen also has great cocktails." - Clair Lorell
"I watched Union Ramen evolve from a pop-up into a Magazine Street restaurant; it is now described as a hugely popular destination for ramen and for Japanese, Vietnamese, and Filipino small plates." - Clair Lorell
