    The food at momosan ramen Boston was very mediocre and nothing special. I thought the ramen was kind of overpriced but it was located the in the TD garden food hall so that's to be expected. I got the all star ramen and it was $29 but I thought the overall portion felt small considering the price tag. Getting a seat wasn't too difficult around 5pm on a Thursday and we didn't have any reservation either which was nice. And overall the service was alright but the waitress was kind of rude. The restaurant was practically empty when I visited so I placed my bag on the seat next to me at my table and she told me I had to move it if someone came. It seemed very strange for her to say that given there were more than enough seats to go around. Overall, I found that the tables were kind of small and the noise level was loud but not too loud that you weren't able to talk to one another. Not my favorite ramen spot and wouldn't revisit again.

    Spicy Wonton

    My friends and I stopped in while visiting the area and decided to give this place a try. The host was kind enough to reserve a table for us to return around dinner time, and we were seated right away when we arrived. It's located in a food court-style area with several other eateries serving the West End. Our server was wonderfully polite and truly the only reason this place earned any stars. I ordered the popcorn shrimp, spicy wontons, and a spicy yellowtail sushi roll, while my wife ordered a ramen bowl and edamame appetizer. The edamame portion was quite small, though she seemed content with it. Unfortunately, the food was a huge letdown. The popcorn shrimp was drenched in sauce, making it nearly inedible. The spicy wontons had absolutely no flavor; it was the equivalent of eating mushed baby food. The sushi roll was the most disappointing of all; it was dry, with a thin sliver of fish and none of the quality or freshness I'd expect from a restaurant associated with a "well known" chef. While the space itself is nicely laid out and the food court atmosphere didn't bother me, the overall experience was a total disappointment. Great service, but the food missed the mark completely.

    We came here before going to TD Garden -- the location is convenient and interesting with many food options to choose from. Our server was lovely, kind, and accommodating. The food was a bit disappointing -- lacking flavor. For an $8 bao bun, there was very little to it, a piece of pork and lettuce. For the price point we were expecting more. The ramen was decent but again, lacking flavor.

    The price menu is $19 and they said they didn't update it yet.

    Price Tan Tan is $19 but come out $20 at check out. Pork was just pork belly roll ,not chashu pork. tastes old and weird. Tuna sushi was terrible,not fresh. Wasabi smell old and not taste the way it is.

    Edamame and vegan ramen

    STEPH JUDGEMENT: Good ramen, but the sushi was very slow to come out. We were looking for a dinner spot in the TD Center food hall and this place caught our eye. The hubby saw that they had a vegan ramen and we decided to give it a go. The decor was typical modern food hall nice, and on the night of our visit it wasn't crowded at all. The hubby got his vegan ramen, which we thought was very good--the broth was spicy, nutty and complex. The tofu was fried, which was unexpected but good. We shared an order of edamame, which was ok, nothing fancy. I wasn't in the mood for ramen so opted for the sushi and roll combo (3 pc nigiri, choice between two small rolls), which took WAY longer than the ramen to come out. We saw that they had two separate areas for ramen and sushi preparation, and the sushi guy was falling behind--perhaps due to to-go orders? At any rate, the combo was a pretty good deal price-wise, but nothing fancy, like the edamame. The ramen seemed to be where it's at, as the name indicates. The service was nice but overall I'd say just ok experience.

    If you like ramen, AVOID this place. Went here recently after catching a movie at AMC. We ordered Brussels sprouts and some baos. The Brussels were excellent. The Baos were plain. Just the bread+meat+piece of lettuce. No sauce, no garnishes. My husband ordered the $30 all star and I ordered the Tokyo chicken. It took FOREVER to get these soups. We almost cancelled and left because it took so long. When the ramen finally arrived we were underwhelmed and disappointed to say it kindly. The broth had zero flavor and was so greasy. None of the meat had any taste. We were so disappointed with this place.

    Am always star struck when it comes to Chef Masaharu Morimoto. Been to his NY restaurant several times before it closed years ago; then to his restaurant in Napa Valley - had a beautiful graduation party there with my first cousins in San Francisco; then to his restaurant in Philly. With such high end venues, I was surprised to tumble into his Ramen sit down here in Boston in a food court! The ambiance is a 5. Very classic Motomoto, understated elegant touches, modern clean lines, decor reflect his homage to his Japanese roots. The service is a 5. Friendly staff that gave me a menu to peruse even when they weren't yet. No rude treatment as other reviews shared, my lucky day. I wanted to order the duck tacos but they said it's really fried duck wontons. So I just ordered Tonkatsu ramen. It was good except that it didn't have enough umami. The pork wasn't pork belly or char shu like most, and it was so fatty.i'd rate ramen a 4.

    Karaage
    Wendy D.

    This is a convenient place to get food if you're in the area, but otherwise it's a meh experience. We had a concert to attend to next door and thought we'd get a quick bite, but it was anything but quick. We waited over 20 minutes for seating and weren't going to get seated unless we asked because the text didn't go through. Then we waited another 40 minutes for our food and we were late for our concert by then. The food was decent, got the tsukemen, and I think they felt bad and gave us some extra toppings. I didn't have much time to enjoy it though and just scarfed it down. They also don't have udon noodles. The karaage was very good though, crispy, juicy and flavorful. Would recommend getting it if you come.

    We stopped in before a Bruins game. Reservations are recommended, they were busy! We started with a shrimp tempura roll that was really good! The ramen was delicious. The tan-tan is definitely spicy, but amazing. It's loud but you're next to TD Garden on a game night, we had an awesome time and our server was perfect. Highly recommend stopping in!

    While my ramen was tasty, but the noodles were very overcooked. The noodles are very mushy and detracted from the broth. Also was also lacking even though I was one of 4 patrons and the location was well staffed. In addition, the entire bar was so sticky that menus, napkins, and even coasters stuck to it.

    Popcorn shrimp and All Star ramen
    Thomas A.

    The popcorn shrimp had some heat to it but it was overly drenched in the aioli sauce. It was too much, which made it taste heavy and greasy. The all star ramen was okay. The broth was good as well as the thin chashu pork slices. The pork belly slice was a tad sweet for my taste.

    Antonia F.

    My husband and I came here while visiting the area. Service was great all around. Our hostess and waitress were both friendly. The ramen was just ok, a little bland for me. The fried chicken and seared fish were quite good with the fried chicken being the highlight. It was so flavorful. The ambiance is nice and bright and everything was clean and organized. I forgot to take photos of the food.

    Soft shell crab sushi

    We had a really delicious dinner here. I do not know the specific Japanese names for some of these but I will do my best. Appetizers we had pork goyoza which was very tasty. The filling was pleasantly firm but the wrappers were very delicate and easy to bite. Japanese fried chicken was so flavorful. It had a bit of a general tso's chicken vibe but was so much better. A light heat, crispy, so good. I wanted to eat a bucket of it. The spicy chicken wontons definitely had some spice but it wasn't overpowering. At my first bite, it vaguely reminded me of buffalo chicken. The filling was tasty and the wontons were so delicate. Very good. My table mates had sushi which they said was good, not amazing. But not bad by any means. I had the "dipping ramen" which is a fun idea - noodles and toppings in one bowl, broth in the other. It seemed like a fun idea, but the noodles were not warmed (which the server had mentioned) which wasn't to my taste. Next time I would just get the basic ramen all together. The broth was phenomenal. Definitely worth a visit.

I only got the smell out of my clothes by doing an extra wash with vinegar. To be clear, I didn't spill broth on my belongings or anything -- the air in the restaurant just smells so strongly of onion/garlic that it seeps into your things. The food is great. Enjoy the food.

The restaurant focuses mostly on soba or udon noodle dishes with a good selection between hot and cold options. It's not going to be the best udon or soba you've ever had. HOWEVER, I tried the cold ikura & uni cold soba and LOVED it. It's seasonal, so I tried that one out and was extremely surprised about how much I enjoyed the bowl. Not too much soup and the uni didn't completely obliterate when I stirred it up. They do use American wasabi though, and I found it superfluous to the dish and wished it was served on the side. But regardless, despite not having some extremely high quality noodles, the flavor and experience of the bowl itself was super pleasant. I ended up coming back the very next day because I wanted to try their clam soba. The clam soba only comes hot, which is a bit unfortunately because I actually think a cold clam soba with some lemon or yuzu would be phenomenol. I've been seeing recipes for it online so I've been wanting to try it, but their clam soba is a lot more standard and hot. They had a very good amount of clams in it, but I generally like their cold soba better. Still good, but didn't give me that feeling of needing to come back the very next day like I did with the ikura-uni combo. Overall, I'd still come back when I'm in downtown!

Every time I'm like "where should I go in downtown" I just get stuck on this place like it's worn a groove in my brain. Like one of RFK's brain worms. It's a little confusing to order but basically you pick a soup, pick a spicy level (burn your face or burn your colon) and then add an absurd amount of toppings.

The food also lacked flavor, so I asked for chili sauce since it is only chili oil with almost no actual chili sauce. When I mentioned it, they said that's just how they make it. It got even more ridiculous. They serve Coke, but when I asked for a cup of ice, they said they didn't have any ice left!!! We also ordered the crispy pork for $8.99, and the portion was surprisingly small for the price. The service wasn't good either. Our bill came to about $44, and I still left a $6 tip even though I wasn't happy with the experience. Instead of thanking us, the server ( a lady) came over and complained that my tip was "just under 15%" and said their restaurant expects a minimum 15% tip and started to give a nasty attitude after! Honestly, after hearing that, I almost wanted to take the tip back. Tips should be earned through good food and good service, not demanded. Overall, this meal was a huge disappointment, and I would not recommend this restaurant.

But this place completely lives up. 6 different ramens, $17.95 for the regular bowls. I was recommended the red hot miso ramen, a spicy option.

First, the broth was remarkably complex and rich, with an endless depth that never became too overbearing -- perfect. The noodles were perfectly cooked as well, served up in a decent portion. Toppings-wise, you get tofu, soy crumble, corn, arugula, and sprouts, along with plenty of sesame seeds. I would've liked some proper greens (other than a few raw arugula leafs), but that's the most minor of complaints. Service was decent enough -- informative and helpful in describing the options.

Once we sat down, the food was done relatively quickly. However I was very surprised on what we had gotten. Now I admit - I am not a vegetarian. However, I have enjoyed many vegetarian meals and this was quite upsetting. We both got the garlic miso ramen. The ramen was not temperature hot at all. The chili oil was not flavorful. The "soy meat" was simply just mushed tofu with awful texture, and it soaked into the soup and created a pretty unpleasant texture (I took a picture which makes me sad and unappetized). I was unable to finish my bowl. The food combined with the service made for a pretty negative time for me. I really wanted to love it - a place with a full vegetarian menu is amazing for all my friends who have that restriction! Maybe if they tried pan frying the tofu create a better textural experience? I will not plan to come back, and will highly recommend you go to any other restaurant in Back Bay.
