In town for a college visit and stopped in for some ramen. Quaint spot on a strip with a parking…read morelot. The restaurant is small and quiet but clean. Service was good and the food was pretty tasty. We started with the beef kushiyaki, chashu tacos and a rocky shrimp roll while we waited for our entrees. The tacos were amazing, full of flavor, nice twist to a taco, meat was tender, sauce was sweet but tangy. The sushi was full of shrimp and spicy crab and had a nice size, if you're looking for a cooked roll. I had the spicy miso beef ramen and added shrimp. Not spicy as I would have liked, but still flavorful. Their spicy is on the mild side for all dishes. My son had the chicken katsu ramen which came with a side of chicken. He loved it, no complaints. My husband had a noodle dish (can't recall the name) with chicken, shrimp, beef and vegetables. Bold flavor with just a little spice. He cleaned his plate. Overall, we agreed we would return. Definitely a good place to stop in for a quick eat.

The service is okay, not outstanding but not bad either. Takeout is also a great option here because they package the broth and noodles separately so the noodles don't get soggy.

We visited Boru's new relocation on Essen, and it was busy as expected with their recent reopening…read more Although there was a 45 minute wait, we were able to take advantage of it and go play the claw machines to make the time pass by quicker. The menu was still similar to the old one, with some new additions to the appetizers like being able to order a small or large karaage, wong wings, takoyaki, etc. We ordered karaage and cucumbers to share, but they completely forgot to add any ponzu sauce. It seems to be a recurring issue with this app where there is always something that is missed, whether it be the sauce or a garnish. It's cool that they decided to merge/ combine sweet society and their new claw machine arcade all into one establishment, but the new dining space here honestly felt a bit claustrophobic, so it was difficult to comfortably enjoy ourselves. With that being said, I unfortunately don't see ourselves returning for boru, but possibly for dessert.

If you are looking for flavor bombs this is the place to eat. I order the black tonkotsu ramen. Holy moly. That's what I said after every single bite. The broth was so flavorful and delicious. I did get the combo with the gyoza and house salad. The gyoza is fried and delicious with a sauce that is packed with a punch. So yummy!! My husband ordered the karaage chicken ramen. I love that the chicken comes on the side. It crunched and cooked to perfection. Again the broth is so full of flavor. This place gets a 10/10 from me. If we are even in the area we are eating here again.

We arrived 15 minutes before opening and were allowed to set in the waiting area until they were ready to seat us. Dayan our waitress was incredible, I think we should start recognizing this type of exemplary service. The appetizers was the calamari, and treasure island which was a delicious sushi appetizer. The calamari flavor was seasoned different but in a great way. It's like they have their own signature flavors. The Bento boxes were excellent value, and the 2 for 11 dollar sushi rolls were excellent with the added benefit good value. Do get the salmon, fried crispy, just a wonderful bite. Love the open and inviting ambiance. Beat we've had in a while, and the service is second to none. Oh don't forget they have a cotton candy machine, cool to watch.

I enjoyed the food I ordered. I did a poke bowl which it's a create your own like rice or noodles bowl. So, if it doesn't taste well, that's my fault not theirs lol but I enjoyed the items I picked. They did add pineapple when I selected cucumber but I didn't mind. It still tasted good. I'd eat here again, I think. Maybe to try their ramen or a different poke bowl option.

On a rainy day, my son and I decided to kill some time and grab lunch at Koko Ramen…read more We walked into an empty restaurant that, while clean, definitely could use some updating. Most of the seats were torn, which was one of the first things we noticed. We grabbed our own menus and waited a few minutes for the waitress to come over. We both ordered waters, but my son's had floating green particles on top that looked like green onions. Instant turn off. I ordered a poke bowl and he ordered ramen. I do wish both dishes would've come out together. Once we started eating, I could tell pretty quickly my poke bowl was anything but fresh. The cucumbers tasted sour, the edamame was mushy, and the amount and quality of the fish was disappointing for the price. My son had a similar experience with his ramen. He said the wontons tasted like nothing, although the broth and noodles themselves weren't bad. This little restaurant honestly has so much potential, which is why I hate leaving a negative review for a mom-and-pop place. But for the prices being charged, the ingredients really need to be fresher. Unfortunately, we would not return
