    Miso Ramen
    Danny N.

    I was excited to see a ramen option in San Antonio and decided to check it out. The restaurant was cute and the service was efficient. The food though left a lot to desire. The karage tasted like the chicken bites from costco and the ramen broth was lacking in flavor. It was edible but I definitely would not recommend or come back of you are looking for an authentic Japanese ramen experience.

    Edamame

    We came here with high expectations based off reviews and recommendations however, we were highly disappointed in our experience here. The kushi sampler had great texture but the sauces were a little too salty. Their ramen from the secret menu was subpar. The spicy pork shoyu had 0 spice/was very bland. Also, it had less ingredients than their normal ramens. Service was as expected and no major complaints in that regard. The outdoor space seemed very nice but was not open for service when we got there. Where we were seated indoors, there was condensation dripping on me from one of their vents. They said they do offer military discounts but only if you are in uniform which I found highly unusual as I would not expect people to come in uniform just to dine.

    The kimchi fried rice was good, on the spicy side but still tolerable. The Kushi platter was my favorite appetizer. Chargrilled edamames are really good too! Will revisit when in the area.

    Super cool art decor. Sustainable products. Supports local and numerous charity organizations. Fun drink menu with lots of interesting options. Knowledgeable staff. Free charred edamame on your first visit. Really good happy hour specials. We will definitely be returning.

    My friend and I were looking for nearby Ramen Restaurants and we stumbled upon Kuriya. I was intrigued by how the food was presented and had to give it a try. When we arrived we noticed the sign right away and were excited to try out the tasty food. We got to the restaurant at about the time they opened and they greeted us right away to a table. We had no problems and had the most chill server. She made me feel welcomed by giving us cooked edamame as a treat for being a new customer! The vibe was super comfortable and seemed like a place where you could do some studying as well. I ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen and can I say it was one of the most flavorful bowls of ramen I've ever tasted. I was instantly in love with the taste of flavors and well cooked vegetables and meat. This lovely place does not disappoint in the slightest when it comes to deliciousness and service. I would definitely come here again to take family & more friends!

    kuriya aka the cherrity bar was an amazing place to dine at. i loved every moment. the place has a distinct aesthetic, it felt i was in a video game, more specifically life is strange. anyways!! the food was outstanding. the ramen was giving, everything had so much flavor. i got the tonkatsu ramen because you can't go wrong with that. every ingredient played a significant role into the dish and i love love love. thank you!!

    Best place ever! Always down to try new types of food and this place was so good. Will definitely come back! Our waiter was nice and very helpful with recommendations, definitely will recommend!

    Pork belly ramen

    Good ramen! Very flavorful. Loved the edamame. Very cute place. Friendly service. Priced great

    Back sitting area
    Noemi Q.

    There is a great divide between food and ambiance. They combined Kuriya with Cherrity Bar, I was super confused, repurposed and very mismatched. Parking is available on the other side of the street and walking up to the middle reception area was interesting. Keep in mind, I kept an open mind and expected decent ramen. Soooo, walking up to the outside reception asking if we want to sit inside or outside, opting for inside, they sat as to the left and first available sitting tall table right by the entrance. I'm kind of vertically challenged and did not feel comfortable eating ramen on a high table DX So we were seated and left to fend for ourselves by the host. Looked around a bit and found so much seating areas lower to my level ~ sat down, waited for about 7 minutes and were greeted by our server/waiter. Menu, btw is digital QR. We knew we want to try ramen and went with our usual Tantan Ramen and Tonkatsu, to make sure our opinions remain unbiased. Tan tan ramen was good, better and lighter than the previous place, enjoyed the grilled broccoli, most of all. Same goes with the Tonkatsu, better broth, but the chashu didn't have a great char or color... kinda missing a bit of the umami. It's definitely a better bar/pub/dive seen are a Cherrity bar establishment. I wouldn't opt for the ramen, a little on the pricier side for ramen and it's not really a great ambiance.

    Flavorful noodles and freshly made soda

    First time customers, free edamame delicious service was great very quaint homemade noodles, good sliders flavor, and every bite definitely a new favor fresh sodas, love this place

    Pork Ramen
    Meikala H.

    This place is absolutely delicious. When I arrived at the restaurant, I thought the set up was so cute and trendy. We sat outside even though it was cold, but the heat lamps helped. I arrived late to the party and although there were not many people at the restaurant to begin with, I had to ask for a plate, silverware, and a napkin all on different occasions. If the waiter had remembered that themself and the service weren't so slow even on a slow night, I would've given a 5 star review. Food wise, I would definitely come back. We got the Belly Bao appetizer that resembled a Bao taco on a rock slab; great presentation and flavor. For my entree I got Tonkotsu Ramen and it was also great and not spicy. I couldn't finish it because I got full. I would recommend this place for a fancy night out when you're looking to spend money on an Asian meal.

    Kushishiitake, charred edamame, house pickle plate (pickles, green beans, eggs, kimchi)
    Meg F.

    The house pickles, kimchi, and charred edamame were all so excellent, but the star of the appetizer show was the kushishiitake. The mushrooms were marinated in the most delicious sweet marinade before being breaded, and then skewered paired with a spicy Mayo dipping sauce. Next time I may just order those for a meal. The double miso ramen broth was so flavorful and the ramen portion was larger than a lot of other places in town for a great price. Happy hour was amazing! It allowed us to try so many more menu items for half the price. I'll definitely be back. Service was also excellent, and the place is very cute and cozy!

    Tonkotsu ramen, charred edamame, pickle sampler
    TQ D.

    I came for a bowl of hot ramen in Kuriya but was sat at the bar in Cherry Bar. I was confused at first but hey, as long as I get to eat ramen, I don't care. I ordered a pickle sampler, which was so good to have with tonkotsu ramen. I highly recommend this combo together. The ramen itself was just average but together with the pickle, it was better. Also, I recommend getting the spicy sauce to add to the ramen. I was given charred edamame for free. It was the best edamame I ever had. Very flavorful. I love it! I wish I can get this charred edamame at home.

Which makes me question the sincerity of the quality of their restaurant. I dined in and their menu was extremely limited and you have to add everything a la cart unlike other ramen places. On the menu they clearly state do not leave a bad review just leave direct feedback. But honestly, you shouldn't have to bribe or beg your patrons in trying to silence them. Make the needed adjustments to earn loyal customers, like not making them add every single ingredient as a separate charge, playing some music to drown out conversation from the other table, checking on your customers a little more often, and improving the quality of your menu. I love local businesses but the pressure they put on you as a customer, is unreal. I'll try giving them another chance but not anytime soon, I'll stick with Suck It in the Medical Center.

All were very good. We then ordered our ramen: chicken cashu and shrimp tempura. I had the level 1 spice which was quite spicy but the broth was wonderful. Service was a bit on the slow side. There was only one server who kept apologizing. She was very sweet md she was clearly doing her best to keep up. All together, it's definitely worth a try.

The atmosphere is clearly anime-focused, which I loved…read more There are a ton of anime decorations everywhere, TVs playing anime while you eat, and even a bar if you're into that. I had a coffee with a spicy tequila twist, which was actually pretty cool. Now let's talk about the Chicharrón Ramen -- honestly, it's pretty badass. Definitely different, but in a good way. It comes with avocado (which I loved), a full seasoned egg (huge plus for me), cilantro, and corn. That alone tells me they're trying to give you a complete, well-thought-out bowl. The broth was spicy and really flavorful. The chicharrón was very soft, which I personally liked a lot. Overall, it was a delicious bowl and something different from your usual ramen experience. I wouldn't say it's an everyday order for me, but it's absolutely worth trying at least once. Definitely recommend giving this item a one-time try off their menu.
