    Vegan miso ramen with spicy tomato base
    Eddie H.

    We stopped by to grab a bite to eat around noon. David took our order and was super friendly and patient. He talked us through some options, including a spicy tomato base for the vegan ramen, which wasn't on the menu. It was delightful! Both ramen bowls we ordered were packed with goodies (mushrooms, baby bok choy, corn, scallions, etc). We even had probably 1.5 times the amount of ramen that normally comes in bowls this size. By the end of the meal, we were stuffed. Oh yeah, when David saw our son sharing some ramen with us, he brought us out another bowl and chopsticks for him. Class act. We ate outside because the weather was perfect, and the outdoor eating area is large and had some bangers playing on the radio. All around it was a great dining experience.

    Just went today and can't wait to go back! Probably the best food I've seen in the most unassuming location. Smaller inside area and order counter but plenty of seating on the tented patio. The man working the counter was doing it all but still friendly and joked with our toddler. We got the spicy tan tan and chicken curry along with dumplings and edamame. I'd recommend all of it. The depth of flavor in the dishes from such a small kitchen is amazing. I don't think we will make it a week without going back for more. Only warning would be to dress accordingly for slurping ramen.

    Very nice location, everyone was so nice and we were seated quickly. We were in the area and stopped by for lunch. I ordered the Tonkotsu and it took a while, so I was a little disappointed that my brother was lukewarm. Other ramen spots also have a variety of add ons; like wonton skins, fish cake etc. they offer none of that. In the end, I would go back again, but maybe try a rice dish.

    I came in on a cooler day, notable because this place is fairly small inside but has outdoor seating. It was starting to fill up, but I still got an indoor bar-style seat. They have a small menu like most ramen places, but there was a vegetarian special in addition to the standing option that I came for. I stuck with what is apparently their classic. Their curry ramen was fantastic, with a brightly colored mix of vegetables and a excellent broth that really popped with a squeeze of lime. They use noodles with kale in them, which are green enough and bitter enough to know you're getting some kale but which complement the other ingredients well. So there is a ton of actual vegetable in this veggie ramen (and some tofu so you're getting some protein). I ordered some tea and let it steep a bit too long, but it was good quality loose leaf tea. They had mochi and some appetizers as well.

    I love this place so much. The place has such high quality, delicious food for such a casual feel. The prices are fair and the servers/staff are extremely attentive.

    I have driven by this restaurant multiple times over the last few months. I finally decided to stop and try it out. Miso Ramen Bar is a great spot. The staff is friendly, the food is delicious and the vibe is chill. I'm going to be honest and share that it took me a little bit to choose a menu item to try. I landed on the Miso Ramen. The broth has a strong, miso flavor that is completed with ramen, of course, a boiled egg, mushrooms, chicken and additional veggies. The meal is enough to split over two days, which is exactly what I did.

    If you want to pay for just the food--not service, presentation, or vibe--this is your place! The ramen noodles are solid: good texture, big portions, and fresh flavors. Presentation-wise, there isn't much distinction among the different bowls since most come with similar toppings. Our favorite was the spicy tomato miso--it had the most depth of flavor and is probably the one we'd come back for (the miso ramen was also good). The tan tan noodles were less complex than versions I've had elsewhere. Not very spicy, but definitely ask for their homemade chili sauce!! It's fantastic and truly has a kick to it. Service was very friendly, even though it's more of a "do it yourself" style. We sat outside at a picnic table, which had its own casual charm. The inside is small and intimate, and I can imagine it gets packed once the weather turns colder.

    I haven't been here since the lockdown, and I was delighted when a friend suggested this order-at-the-counter place for lunch today! Seating is still tight, but the covered patio was perfect on this warm February day. Cesar was wonderful! He thoroughly explained the menu, brought our chicken curry ramen and tonkatsu ramen quickly, and even brought me a fork without judging me (chopsticks and I don't get along). The ramen was still amazing, and the prices were reasonable. Next time, I don't plan to wait so long before going back!

    Miso Ramen bar is a cool little spot. They provided great knowledgeable service and the food was good. I enjoyed the Curry chicken rice bowl. Full of flavor. The many textures in the dish made for a tasty and enjoyable meal. I recommend give them a try.

    Good ramen is very hard to find. The reviews for this place looked decent so decided to give it a try. It was such a rainy and gloomy day and I just wanted something warm and satisfying. They opened at 11am and I was first in the door to order. I got the Spicy Tan Tan ramen and omg, perfection. The flavors were phenomenal. Just enough spice. I was so happy. To order, you go to the register, place order and a number is given where you can put it in the holder at your table. Drinks are in the fridge to the right of the register and water is also available. I must say, that water was some of the coldest water I have ever had lol. Sometimes restaurants that offer water that is self serve is usually Luke warm, but not here! I will be back very soon! Plenty of parking in the plaza. They also have outdoor seating that is currently covered but accessible (it looks like) for the winter months.

    Loved this experience. The food was really good. Rich flavors, great portion, and very filling. The service was good. Ambiance is 5/10. Seating is limited. It's a smaller business but has great taste. Overall 8/10

    Spicy Tan Tan ramen
    Jake V.

    My girl usually orders Tonkotsu and I usually order the Spicy Tantan ramen. The broth of both ramen are delicious, and the ingredients with the egg, meat, and garnishes are well-balanced. Compared to other ramen spots, Miso Ramen Bar offers a good anount of well-cooked pork. Tonkotsu Ramen has about 4 pieces of pork and the Spicy Tantan has fair amount of ground pork. The broth tasted rich and the eggs were perfectly cooked. Every ingredient in the ramen compliment the overall dish well, and unlike Hokkaido Ramen in Morrisville, you don't need to pay extra to get egg and corn with your ramen. The default servings are satisfying enough but if you want to adjust spiciness level, my girl was able to do that by asking for chili that she could add. Customer service is nice; There's usually a tall European-looking gentleman who served customers well. We got a punch card that will almost get us a free ramen once we get 10 stamps. You can self-serve water, and they offer other beverages as well. Of course, a bottle of Asahi or Sapporo would go well with ramen. We've also been to the Raleigh location once but the Cary location's smaller area, we prefer this location as it's more accessible, more welcoming, and better-lit. The Raleigh location didn't even have punch card that could get you free ramen (we even asked if they can stamp our punch card from Cary location but sadly, they don't do that). It's nice to see anime always playing on Miso Ramen Bar's TV. The smaller area can be concerning when this place gets packed. We haven't yet invited a family group to eat here but since we highly-recommend it, we will soon. They have some tables outside the small space but hope they will be able to expand. My minor issue with Miso Ramen Bar is its limited menu. There are appetizers and we've tried the 2 pieces of pork buns but we thought that most of their appetizers are overpriced and just not appealing. Even 2 skewers are priced around $8 to $10. Door to Door in Cary has better appetizers. It would be nice if Miso Ramen Bar also served cold appetizers like beef tendon or tripe. We also tried rice bowl dish once and it's nothing special. If you want great quality ramen, Miso Ramen delivers. We will definitely return again. I'd love to give this place 5 stars in the future if they're able to expand their menu and improve non-ramen options. It would also be nice if they offered Spicy Beef like Hokkaido's. Nonetheless, Miso Ramen Bar in Cary, NC is currently the best ramen spot in the Triangle NC area that we've been to.

    Ask the Community - Miso Ramen Bar

    Does the broth either contain seafood or mushrooms?

    They have various kinds of broth made with beef or pork. They may also use mushroom but I don't believe seafood. Always good to double check.

    Do they have gluten free options - rice noodles?

    Miso Ramen Bar now offers rice noodles as a gluten-free option. The kale noodles (while not gluten free) are a great choice if you want to make your bowl a little healthier!

Noodle Blvd is located in a spot that you could easily miss, but it's easy to get back on track. I pulled into the gas station parking lot beside the restaurant, then just turned right into the restaurant parking lot. The parking lot is fairly small, so be warned about that. My friend was there when I arrived, and he sat at the bar. When I walked in the door, I was greeted with smiles and waves. It was very inviting, which is fitting for a ramen restaurant. My friend ordered us Lychee Margaritas, and oh my goodness, it was so good! We decided to visit right at opening on a Saturday, so the bartender was still preparing some of the ingredients needed for the margarita. The bartender informed us that it's usually better once a key ingredient sits for a while, but I loved the drink regardless. I ordered edamame for an appetizer, which came quickly and was good! Since I've never had ramen before, I asked our server what he recommended, and he told me about some of their most popular dishes. He told me the N9. Chicken Curry Ramen was a favorite of his and the patrons, so I decided to order that. It came quickly, and I was immediately in HEAVEN upon my first bite. I loved every bite after! I decided to play it safe with the spice and got level 2, but I can definitely go up a level or 2 since I love spicy. Highly recommend, and I will be back!

The short rib ramen was good, but the noodles were short, like they were cut or made short on purpose. The shrimp shumai was disappointing. Small bite sized portions, but they were soft. After cutting into one, I found out that they use rice as a filler with a bit of shrimp. I've never seen rice used in shumai, unless it's Shanghai sticky rice shumai. Also got a unagi don togo, it was good, just a bit small on the portion of eel, but it's hard to mess up an unagi don.

I had already looked at the menu online and knew what I wanted: shoyu ramen. The order was served with a spoon, a side plate and a paper towel. There was 1 soft-boiled cut into two halves and ample amounts of scallion, menma and braised pork belly. The latter had a rich flavor, helped in no small part by the pork and chicken broth. Not only that, the broth complimented the rest of the ingredients; the egg was enjoyable. My only (minor) complaint is the portion size of the ramen itself. It was smaller than I would like. The lady that served me was probably (best guess) the owner. Her service was impeccable. In addition, Kinoko has a pleasing amenity not found in most restaurants: an AC outlet at every table that was by the wall. This was very handy for a heavy user of laptops and phones like myself. Although there was music playing in the background, it wasn't loud. The server and I were able to hear each other, and I could also hear the voices of others at the bar. The restroom had an interesting decor of newspapers for wallpaper. That was something I didn't see elsewhere. If you love good ramen, come to Kinoko Ramen. If you like a quiet place to dine in, come to Kinoko Ramen. Perfect scores in food, service and atmosphere.

Notice I use past tense in my descriptions...well, in the last few months the Sukiyaki Beef Rice Bowl is no more here. First I noticed it marked out on the menu then on other printed later versions, just gone. Servers have said they do not see it coming back. I am disappointed. However, I have tried their other rice bowl selections in the meantime. In getting the Chashu Rice Bowl with braised pork, it did not do the trick for me like the beef bowl did. I do enjoy their Karaage Rice Bowl now with marinated chicken (however, fried) with the accompanying sauce and spicy mayo really making it special. Again, the rice is so perfectly cooked. I enjoy their fried gyoza as well (but again, wish maybe there could be a steamed version offered) and their veggie spring rolls. So even though disappointed with the disappearance of the Sukiyaki Beef Rice Bowl, I have enjoyed their Karaage Rice Bowl as well as some appetizer selections here after the menu change.

Curry was tasty, but inadequately warmed. - Raindrop (Plant-based ice jelly, brown sugar syrup, soybean powder): Such a unique dessert- ofc the visual is great, but the texture was interesting and it was subtly sweet too.

The fries themselves are good and beautifully crispy but that's due to the light coating of cornstarch or rice flour on the fries. That helps give them that extra boost. The furikake itself doesn't stick to the fries and just falls to the bottom of the dish, adding absolutely nothing to the fries. The restaurant seemed understaffed. The server did his level best but was spread too thin. All in all, decent food but Miso Ramen by the bus station is much better.
