Hands down my favorite ramen spot in DFW. Nishiki Ramen never disappoints, they're always consistent. The broth is rich, perfectly seasoned, and incredibly flavorful on its own -- but the Death Sauce, it takes the ramen to another level. The heat is bold without overpowering the depth of the broth, and it creates the perfect balance of spice and umami. The staff is very friendly who are there to make sure you get what you like. If you're a ramen fan in DFW and haven't tried this place yet, you're definitely missing out read more

Met up with a friend for dinner and generally enjoyed my ramen. I got the number 2, which seemed closest to a typical Tonkotsu, and for the most part it was slightly above average! My one criticism is that the chashu was thin, lacked a bit of char, and was in small pieces, so I didn't feel like I got much. But the broth was pretty good and the service was kind. I found the price for a bowl just a tad steep, but nothing crazy. My friend mentioned that he liked the curry tonkotsu that he got but that his chashu tasted too much like bacon for him. I did want to mention also that I noted an extended vegan ramen menu while browsing for what I was getting. There was at least 6-8 flavors of vegan ramen. This would be a great stop for vegans! read more

Came to try the ramen but my huband was sold by their burger photo. Cute vibe, staff were friendly. Got the wagyu burger, smoky black and chicken. Everything was good. My only complaint is the meat in the ramen is super thin. Its not thick and tender like usual ramen places. read more

Loved our visit to Nishiki Ramen! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and so well done. Brad's service was amazing - super friendly and made sure we had a great experience. Definitely coming back! read more

Authentic Japanese Ramen! The noodles, soup, and toppings are all outstanding. The seasoned boiled egg and Chashu (Japanese braised pork belly) were cooked to perfection. The server was very friendly, and we were pleasantly surprised when they greeted us in Japanese: "Arigatō gozaimashita." At the entrance, a beautiful flower arrangement by Aki-sensei added an elegant touch to the atmosphere. read more

Attentive service, good ramen, clean restaurant. An overall solid experience. I sat at the "bar" near the kitchen and when I went (around 2pm on a Saturday) it wasn't super busy. Was really hungry after being busy all morning and this hit the spot. A bunch of good Asian food options in this complex and I struggled to decide which to go to, but I am pleased with my choice and would return when nearby. read more

This is a pretty good ramen restaurant that we came across recently. The service is pretty fast and easy to work with. The atmosphere is your typical ramen restaurant here in DFW. The food is pretty satisfying. They did have an interesting spin on their Takoyaki. Where you could have one filled with wasabi, we declined for that surprise. The ramen itself was pretty good, I would have to say average, but fulfilling. The curry and fried Pork was very tasty. Overall it was a nice experience. read more

I've tried Nishiki Ramen twice now and as much as I want to love it, the food is honestly just mediocre... On our first visit, I had the Nishiki ramen and my fiance had the smoke bomb black ramen. Both of us felt that the broth was lacking in depth and flavor compared to other spots we have tried before. Then a few months later, we decided to give Nishiki a second go and this time we tried the chicken karaage, curry pork ramen, and pork chashu rice bowl (which came with an egg and cabbage salad). The chicken karaage had good flavor but some parts of the chicken seemed to be undercooked... Otherwise, I thought the curry pork ramen was a bit better than the ones we had during our first visit, plus the rice bowl was solid as well. read more

The Wagyu truffle ramen did not disappoint. It is a bit pricey but the flavor is spot on. I got this as reward for myself and I'm glad I did. I will definitely comeback and try other items from their menu. read more

I came here for Sunday lunch with my sister, and WOW this ramen was amazing! When we came in, we saw they had a Crispy Ramen Shake snack you can order while you wait for your food. We got the chicken flavor and it was a nice crispy snack to munch on before getting our ramen bowls! I ordered the pork curry ramen and it was so delicious! The meat, broth, toppings, and noodles go perfectly well together. The curry flavor was amazing and not too overpowering. The noodles were so fresh! The service is fast and staff was very friendly! I loved the interior too, there's a lot of cute ramen decor on the wall and kitchen area! read more

Went here for lunch recently and got the notorious GGG! Added extra toppings like egg, noodles, black sauce and the death sauce on the sauce. Shared it with my bf because he eats a lot and I can't lol (I'm on a calorie deficit). Ramen was delicious and super hearty! Extremely filling and creamy broth. Would highly recommend! read more

Fantastic ramen. My husband tried the tonkatsu and I had the black garlic, I recommend both. They give you a good quantity as well, I left full. The service was quick and the waitress was very helpful. The location is very clean and neat. I will be returning. read more

This is a pretty good ramen spot. While you wait you can enjoy a free crispy ramen appetizer which is nice! You can add a spice mix to it and shake it up. We tried the Russian roulette takoyaki with wasabi in one of the takoyaki balls but you won't know which one... The ramen itself is very good with super flavorful broths. I got the Nishiki which is regular tonkotsu which for me sets the standard for everything else. The GGG was also really nice and fresh and unique. The only thing that keeps this place from earning 5 stars for me is their chashu. It tastes good but the way they prepare it lacks the crispiness and grilled flavor that takes your ramen over the edge. That's just a preference thing. Overall great service and food. read more

For some reason, Nishiki Ramen chose to grace DFW with its presence from San Diego, and we're all the better for it. \\ Chicken Karaage - i typically look for a crispy exterior and juicy interior, so i don't think i'll order again - theirs was more crunchy and less delicate but still--fried chicken will always be yum \\ Nishiki Ramen (Tonkotsu ramen) - i had to try the noodles that bore the restaurant name, even if the menu said it was the second-most popular (my fiancé had the most popular one, with black garlic oil, so i got to sample its smoky umami broth, too) - soup so creamy it's almost sweet and not too salty so you can have spoonfuls without chugging water later - i was surprised that the pickled ginger actually tastes like ginger instead of candy - the freshly made noodles were beautifully springy without any of the curliness that packaged noodle remembers - comes with an entire soft-boiled egg that had a perfect jelly yolk that gushed out with each bite I love that there's a full vegan menu, too! Gone are the days when I felt bad that my vegetarian and vegan friends couldn't try ramen. They would have so many options here! At $16-18 per bowl, it makes me miss the days of $8 ramen in LA, but the ingredients and flavors are truly of outstanding quality. Would love to come back from time to time and recommend to others! Good amount of parking at this relatively new plaza, but with all the awesome restaurants, spots were still hard to find on a Saturday evening. Service was superb--we were greeted with a hearty "irasshaimase!" which means welcome. There was strong attention to detail in the service and the comfy decor. Gochisousama deshita! read more

TLDR; food didn't live up to the hype for us. Excellent service, especially if dining with a little one though! We were really excited to try this place out, but our expectations fell short once we got our food. I really appreciated that they were accommodating with our baby and made sure we had everything we needed. It's always nice to be able to sit at a table for three and not feel cramped. But the ramen was ok. I actually felt bad because the service was so good but it's not the server's fault that the broth was mediocre. It wasn't for me or my family but it seems like a lot of people think this place has the best ramen around. read more

Jeez Louise Every single time I eat here I want to write an amazing review. So darn good if I could eat it every day, I absolutely would. I got my DoorDash today. Didn't feel like going out. I wish I was an influencer just so I can eat this all the time for free. I get the black bomb. I've never tried another one. I probably should amazing amazing amazing absolutely love it. Every time I go in my servers are attentive and always very courteous The vibe is all right. I went once by myself and it was OK. I went another time with my sister and the environment felt the same. So needless to say, I felt OK eating alone. I almost felt like I was in a little Japanese movie read more

This place is phenomenal! We had the Smoke Bomb Black and the Akuma ramen. The black ramen was complex and delicious, and was really a bowl of absolute perfection. The Akuma was spicy and the tonkatsu was rich, creamy and one of the best we've had. The ambience is cute, the staff is very attentive and friendly and checked on us multiple times just to refill our water. I think me and my wife have found our go to ramen place. Strongly recommend!! read more

This is still one of the best ramen places I have experienced, and now the chicken karaage is fantastic too! I recently visited and found the chicken karaage to be absolutely delightful. Since my last review, it has improved tremendously; the chicken pieces were succulent, perfectly seasoned on the inside, and crispy on the outside! Loved it read more

The restaurant was clean and had a nice quiet and warm ambiance. The service was impecable. I think because it was very slow the waitresses were very attentive and the food came out very quick. The chicken karaage was good, the breading was really crispy and flaky, but the chicken inside was a little spongy and chewy. The ramen was fantastic. The spicy had a good kick and the noodles were cooked perfectly al dente. The only reason I give 4 stars is because there wasn't really a wow factor. They sell pretty basic ramen and this whole meal cost about $35. I wouldn't happily come back, but I might not seek to bring people here to show them a taste of this area or to impress them. read more

Due to the Anime Food fest occuring nearby, we decided to give this ramen place a chance. The atmosphere was brilliant, the workers were friendly and service was great. I had no idea the Nishiki fries were huge! They were delicious and I would order it again. My boyfriend and I ordered their ~$30 Wagyu beef ramen and Nishiki ramen. No complaints on their Nishiki ramen. Broth and noodles were amazing, and I would put this spot in my top 5 places to go around the DFW area for real, authentic noodles. However, my one gripe about the food (which is unfortunate) was the Wagyu beef itself. I don't know if it's because we came early within their first hour of opening, or maybe it was cooked incorrectly etc, but that ramen was not worth $30. It was my boyfriend's first time trying Wagyu beef and actual Wagyu beef is supposed to tender and melt when you eat it. He wasn't able to chew and ended up wasting one slice by puking it out, so he and I traded bowls. I was able to chew one slice, but it was the chewiest meat I've ever had, similar to trying to break bubblegum. I ended up drinking some water to swallow the whole thing because I couldn't for the life of me, chew it to smaller pieces. While I could've requested a remake or a trade, I was already halfway done with the noodles, so I took it to-go. I'm willing to give this place another chance, but I'll definitely be ordering something else. read more

We came hungry for dinner on a week night and were seated right away. Immediately saw the Roulette takoyaki on the menu and had to get it! The variety of flavors (for the ramen) is wonderful, there is something for everyone on the menu. We got black garlic ramen and Asuko ramen. The broth was flavorful and we didn't wait long before the dishes came out. The most fun was the roulette takoyaki. This dish comes out piping hot so becareful! I was the unlucky one to get the wasabi takoyaki but honestly it was just extra flavorful, it wasn't too spicy! read more

I went inside the restaurant to order takeout. I was greeted and asked the server to help me pick a meal- which he did. They were polite, efficient, and waited about 5 minutes for my food. I do hope they add beef options in the future. The takeout portion was smaller than expected, especially for $20. I really enjoyed the food but wouldn't order takeout again due to portion size. read more

We were so surprised to find a San Diego based ramen shop in Plano! Second night in Plano and we happened to find this place on Yelp. Little did we know we were only a few minutes from all the Asian restaurants and stores in Plano! Hubs and I ordered the No. 1 and the No. 5. Him being the garlic lover and me loving the soft egg. Both were delish with the right type of soup base for each. Creamy rich tonkatsu broth or a lighter black garlic broth. Noodles were chewy and the balance of the corn, green onions and other condiments were there perfect amount. Loved the cute hipster vibe, especially the way it has cool ramen bowls as part of the decor. Can't wait to go to San Diego to get some more. Wait is there one in the Bay Area?! I'm gonna have to Yelp it! read more

First time here, we enjoyed it, the noodles was cooked perfectly and the broth was deliciou.

You know how the pictures always look better than the food at restaurants? For once in my short sweet life reality lived up to the expectation! I was split between 3 different Ramen bowels and couldn't decide which. My boy Peter (our waiter), recommended the Akuma. Spicy deliciousness...... DROOL .... We will be back.. we will bring friends If the owner is reading this, Peter deserves a raise! read more

Smoke Bomb Black - I really like the broth. Very fragrant.. and it doesn't taste too heavy. The egg is cooked perfectly. Meat is alright in texture. It kind of taste like barbecue. Noodles have a nice firm, but mildly bouncy texture. Vibes - Pretty loud music and not too crowded at 6:15 PM on a Thursday. There are wooden chair, chairs as well as wooden benches for seating. The place looks pretty modern. Well lit and clean aesthetic. Service - They are very friendly I treat you as you come in and as you leave! Everything is very fast. They were quick to get the menu and water out as well as the food. Overall, very satisfied! read more

Best ramen around. The broth is amazing! If you can take spicy get the Akuma. It is truly amazing. This is my new go to for Ramen

Absolutely amazing! Love the flavor of the soup and love that they have vegan soups. I had the regular vegan and added a bit of spicy chili oil (well I thought it was a little...watch out for that!) and it had great flavor! The waitress was nice and friendly. Service was fast! The place was not so busy so we got seated fast. Nice clean and quaint place! Will come back to try the other vegan options! read more

We were craving some ramen so went to the soft opening for Nishiki Ramen. Inside of Nishiki Ramen has really nice aesthetics. It was probably a cool 67-70 degrees which is perfect to avoid this Texas 100+ weather. James was our server, and he was real cool. The owner's son in law came out and was helping out too. He has good aesthetics. We got the Nishiki, Akuma, and Smoke Bomb Black ramens with Chicken karagaage and Russian Roulette Takoyaki. The Akuma ramen has a very nice spicy kick to it. Prepare to drink some extra water because it pops with spice, but it was perfect for me. The smoke bomb black has a really unique flavor to it, but it was delicious. All of the ramen came out nice and fresh. The chicken karaage was nice and hot. The Russian Roulette Takoyaki was very good. James warned us about the wasabi that was in it, but you can get it without it which he suggested. Appreciate you James. It's part of a plaza with other restaurants. The building is very nice! Definitely would go back for a ramen fixing. read more
