This was our first time visiting Nanbu. We were excited trying a new ramen place. From the other reviews this place seemed to be a decent place to try ramen at. We ordered the Sake Maki rolls to start with. For $18 you would think the rolls would be larger. The pieces were small but, at least the salmon taste fresh and didn't smell fishy. Wife got the Nanbu Ramen which had a really sweet broth. We've had plenty of ramen all over the US and this one can be considered a dessert ramen with how sweet the broth was. The broth overpowered everything else and we couldn't overlook the sweetness. I got the Beef Bulgogi rice bowl. Nothing to rave about. Some of the meat was juicy and some were overcooked. The pickled cucumber and rice were the highlights of the dish. The kimchi and carrots did not bring anything to the table. Definitely a Japanese fusion place that needs a little bit more work. Left hungry and wanting more so we went and got Chicken nuggies from Mickey D's lol... read more

Awesome experience! Thai, Japanese food and drink. Reggae atmosphere for lunch. (Dinner menu is entirely different) We had Chicken Ramen and Pork Ramen. Each came with a side of either miso soup or ginger salad. We both had the ginger salad and could have made a meal of it. The Ramen dishes were well presented and tasty. ... there was plenty to take home Drinks- selection of beers including Thai beer and Red Stripe. Also teas, craft soda, and Saki cocktails They do need better signage. Unless you know where they are you will miss them. Will visit again when in the area read more

Please see attached photo. That is the $8.50 Boba Tea on Door Dash next to a 16 oz. water bottle. Haven't tried my food nor the tea, don't need to as this 100% warrants 1 star, would be zero if possible. Nanbu...who is looking at this cup of Boba Tea and going "yes, customers will gladly pay 8.50 for this, they will definitely come away with a positive experience." Local to the area and will never patronize this restaurant, I will pay whatever I need to for quality and new experiences, this is a scam. read more

TO GO ORDER: Anyone who enjoys ramen knows that you have to scratch the itch when you crave it. This place was close to our beach house so I ordered it to go. The outside of this place is sooo cute...the staff member brought the food out to the car and was very bubbly. Lol. I ordered the ramen with pork. The broth wasnt my favorite but the pork was good and tender. I especially enjoyed the collard greens...and thats saying a lot seeing this was not my mother's. This was my first time getting ramen to go so I was worried about how it would be packaged. They packed it really well..putting the broth in a different container. I simply had to add the broth to the other bowl and poof..got myself some ramen! The portion size seemed small for the price..but that seems to be a trend in Santa Rosa. read more

When you arrive this is a super cute little local spot, very friendly, warm and inviting. Service is super friendly. The food is just ok at best. We had: Wings Shrimp tempura bento box Pork ramen Salmon poke bowl The wings were ok. Super sticky sauce and a bit of a charred taste but otherwise ok. My son has the salmon poke ball, and he said it was good. The shrimp tempura and California roll in the bento box was really good. They also serve it with stir fried veggies which neither myself if my daughter liked. They have a sauce that taste like a combo of soy sauce and sugar. We also didn't like the salad which had pickled cucumbers and a ginger dressing we were just not fond of. The part we found the most disappointing was the pork ramen. The broth in my opinion had no flavor. We didnt even eat it. The broth tasted like water and oil with maybe a hint of bouillon. The pork belly in the ramen, however, was delicious. My daughter was put off a little too because they put the seaweed in the ramen using their bare hands We spent $65 and only ate 1/3 of our meal due to just not liking it. Would I recommend... sure. Service is great. I would encourage you to maybe order small and see if you like it as well. Would I return.? Probably not. I'm leaving with $65 gone and still hungry. read more

I was craving noodles so my bf and I stopped by and the ramen was great! It was so delicious because of its sweetness and a little spice too. It had pulled pork which was different but I enjoyed it. I also shared a poke bowl with my bf and it was good. I think the rice and cucumbers were made differently from what I am used to but it wasn't bad just not my favorite. Overall, I enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant. It was very relaxing and our waiter was very kind too. I think the ramen was the best and I would need to get it again :) Ooh and I loved the decor and art they had on display! read more

OH. MY. GOSH. If I could rate this 10 stars I would. There are no words for how good this ramen was. I got the Miso Pork ramen and substituted corn for the mushrooms. I'm not exaggerating at all when I say that this was the best pork I've had in my entire life. I wish I lived nearby so I could eat here every night, and I implore anyone in the area to drop by and try it!!! ( I also got some bubble tea!

I'm so sad I live 14 hours away! I would eat here at least weekly. This was my favorite meal the whole week after going to popular seafood places where all the sea food was fried or just honestly, gross. I think we tried the wrong places. So my friend and I branched off away from the family one evening and came here and left so happy. Also the waitresses were all so nice and kept the water coming on the hot evening. This area is adorable, get there early so you can also shop around in the near by businesses. read more

The ambiance is fun in this small scale restaurant that provides big taste! The pork belly is AMAZING! For Asian fusion, it's one of the best I've been to. The best part of the ramen I had was the pork belly but I was hoping for more traditional ramen flavors. Service was great and friendly. I would go back, but do prefer other places for traditional ramen. read more

Service is always great. Noodles are always a go too. Nice restaurant that has some of the next door artist Andy artwork in there.

Went in during our visit week before Memorial Day right when they opened. We were told to sit wherever we like. The space looked cool and casual. There was one server and he was pretty on top of every thing. Food was ok. Pork belly was kind of tough. We ordered a kids stir fry. Our 4 year old took a bite and said it was spicy. We sent it back because it was spicy and was given noodles without the spice. Well it turned out to be just bland boiled noodles. I ended up mixing the noodles with the ponzu sauce from the dumplings we ordered. My hubby ordered the bulgogi rice bowl and didn't finish it. I don't think we will be returning. read more

Cool "little" space for ramen for this area. The pork ramen was pretty good but my husband didn't care too much for his chicken. The service is what gets me here. The server was friendly but was the only server working. We were very patient with her bc we noticed she was alone but she forgot to put in our appetizer and really did not apologize or seem to have any care at all that we didn't get them. Of course it was removed from our bill but just a simple apology would have sufficed because like I said I noticed she was the only server. I would definitely go back and have my ramen again and hope for a bit better of an experience. read more

Such a cool little place! We had the dumplings as an appetizer and then both ordered the Miso Pork Ramen! Everything was delicious and the server was very attentive! I will say that they played an assortment of rap and hip hop music really loud which we didn't really mind but it didn't fit the atmosphere. And made it hard to have a conversation. I'd definitely still go back for the food! read more

Let me preface by saying I'm taking this as though I didn't live in Japan at all and just tasting the food for what it is. No reference to authenticity. I need to stress... this is not authentic at all. It is a stand alone! Miso - definitely unique. Had a bit of a sweetness to it and a lot of tofu! Not bad. Wife didn't like it. Soba stir fry w/ pork belly - wife loved it. I tasted it, Udon was really good for most likely being pre-made. Pork belly was amazing! Bento box w/ salmon teriyaki - Salmon was amazing! Dumplings, awesome! They were very meaty! I didn't eat the salad, but it looked good. White rice.. it's white rice. Can't really mess that up. The roll, spicy tuna, was great. Only criticism on the roll is the addition of sriracha. This made it almost gross to dip with soy & wasabi. Take away, great place! Wish there was one like this up by us. But if you're coming for authentic, you're wrong. It's great as it is. Don't come with expectations and you will be blown away. read more

I stopped by because i didnt want to get American food. The restaurant is pretty small. The decoration looks pretty nice inside though. But big parties might have tight space The price is expected to be on the higher side, but i wish the quality reflects it. The pork belly bun cost almost $12 for 2 pieces but the meat was dry. It needs some kind of sauce. Same for the chicken wing. It's not crispy at all, like the skin is just soft and it got slathered in sauce. I use that sauce for the pork belly. None of the dishes impress me. I was especially disappointed with the Nanbu noodle bowl. I was expecting a good mix of Japanese ramen and American twist. The menu said pork shoulders, i got something that look like brisket look wise? No one told me about the change. It was super sweet. Collard green would have been a warning but i wanted to try anyway. And i dont know why they skimp on the broth, not like i want more cause mine was super sweet as well. It's like they use the sauce for the meat for the broth. Very syrupy tasting. The broth barely covers the noodle for all the noodle dishes while it's such a big part of ramen and give you a feel of how well the restaurant does their broth. The bulgogi stir fry noodle is average too. The meat is marinated the same way like my noodle bowl. My dad said it was too salty for his taste. Im a big ramen fan and got ramen everywhere i go. I asked for chashu as usual and the waiter didnt know what it was.... I guess i expected too much cause i was craving Japanese ramen and i usually order without any prob. I didnt finish my bowl. The spicy bomb couldnt save it. Just keep these in mind. One of the waiters was very nice but the other one not as much. read more

So here's the thing, we got our food to go, so it's harder to determine what a true rating would be. That being said, the food was good. My biggest issue was portion size. I'm pretty sure that I only had three shrimp in my entree of curry ramen. I probably won't be back if I'm being honest, but it was clear that they cared about the quality of the food and it was tasty enough. read more

My family and I went here for dinner tonight and loved it. The shrimp tempura roll was one of the best that I have ever had. The pork belly steamed buns tasted like nothing I had had before. They were sweet and really good! The ginger salad was so yummy and tasted super fresh! It's a bit expensive for the portions. Overall, it was super great! read more

This place is $$$ for what you get! My wife ordered the veggie rice bowl and I ordered the beef stirfry. The beef sir fry is so tiny for $17 the rice bowl wasn't too bad at $12. We did a pick up order and they charge 18% tip even if you pick it up. I think people forgot what tips are for. I'm all about tipping my waiter ,but not for putting something in a bag kinda ridiculous. On top of that they asked for another tip when you check out. I think all the restaurants do it around this area in Santa Rosa. read more

We finally tried this restaurant and we were not disappointed. We came in the evening just after sunset and opted to sit outside because inside was a little too cozy for comfort with the crowd. We ordered a number of dishes and were happy with them all. Even though we sat outside the servers were extremely attentive and brought out our food and drinks promptly. The ramen was very good and flavorful and the Sushi was great. I would definitely stop here again when feeling for ramen. read more
