Delicious!! This was my first time having ramen, and my friend suggested we go here, and I'm so glad we did! 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! Worth the drive from Clayton, where I live. read more

The service was good, waitress was pleasant, no issues there. A busy weekday night, a loud group at the big table in the middle didn't bother me as I was at the bar. 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. read more

Noodle Boulevard delivered exactly the kind of comforting, flavorful meal I was hoping for. I ordered the Shoyu Ramen with Chashu Pork and an Ajitsuke Egg, and it was outstanding. The broth was rich and balanced, the pork was tender, and the toppings--bok choy, beansprouts, bamboo, onions, nori, and that perfectly seasoned egg--brought everything together beautifully. I did ask them to cut the meat up but they were "not able" to accommodate that request. Every bite felt warm, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared. The service was friendly and efficient, and the overall vibe of the place is fun and energetic. The music was a bit louder than I prefer, but it didn't take away from how good the food was. If you're craving a great bowl of ramen in a lively atmosphere, Noodle Boulevard is absolutely worth the stop. read more

The place has a good vibe, nice bar for a ramen place. Pork gyozas slightly warm, I would've like them hot. My hubby's pork ramen was good, I didn't try it. The duck ramen.......a ton of pork rinds which don't make any sense because they are soggy after a while, very rich, I removed them from the soup. Duck was OK, noodles cooked well, lots of fresh grated garlic, which took away from the broth taste. This is the best rated ramen in the area, unfortunately did not impress. read more

Quickly seated and served water. After perusing menu ordered ginger tea and R6 Gyudon (sukiyaki beef) rice bowl. Ginger tea blew me away, sooo flavorful. Rice bowl was very large and very good.

Hands down the best vegetarian ramen in the area!! I have been looking far in wide in the triangle area for vegetarian ramen especially with all the winter weather that keeps hitting us. I have finally found THE one. Noodle Boulevard is an unassuming place that's hard to find but you will be glad you did. There is plenty of parking and even though the inside looks small, they have fit many seats there. The menu had a vast array of appetizers, rice bowels and ramen. I got the vegetarian spring rolls and the Tofu Curry Ramen with udon noodles. The service is FAST. We were in and out within an hour. The spring rolls were fresh, you could tell they didn't use the frozen packs that many restaurants have. The Tofu Curry Ramen was packed with flavor. I got medium spice level and found it spicy, so watch out. But either way, I couldn't stop eating because it was savory, peppery and perfect richness. This restaurant is far from me, but I plan to make the trek again and again because the food is so worth it. read more

Several of my friends had recommended this place to me and I just got around to trying it. Let me tell you it was completely worth the wait. The Ramen is so customizable and they have great vegetarian and gluten-free options. I've traveled to Japan and had some amazing Ramen all over the world and I thought this Ramen was great. The broth was so flavorful and their spice level was perfect. My tiniest critique is that the pork in mine was 90% fat and 10% actual meat. The portion sizes are pretty large. Even on a weeknight the restaurant is pretty busy so if you're coming with a larger party of 4 to 6 people I would expect to wait. I'll definitely be coming back to try some of the other Ramen. read more

I completely understand why people rave about this place so much because after the first time I tried this place- I returned very shortly after. This is probably one of the best, if not THE best ramen spot in the area. Everything was a 10/10! Both times we went were really busy but luckily we still got seated immediately. If you are bigger than a party of 2 I would probably expect a wait. It is a small but cute restaurant with different bar seating and high-top tables. My friend is a huge fan of their vegetable ramen with the tom yum broth. For myself, I get the chicken curry ramen and add enoki mushrooms and corn. Please try this- you will not regret it. The broth is literally exploding with flavor and it was enough food to give me ramen for lunch the next day too. I will always be in the mood for this dish. For appetizers, we've tried the chicken yakitori, chicken karaage, shrimp shumai, croquettes, and spring rolls. I have no idea how they make those croquettes but I could probably eat 10 of them. They are so creamy and delicious and my friend and I were obsessed. Other favorites that we now re-order are the shrimp shumai and chicken yakitori. read more

Absolutely love Noodle Boulevard~ stumbled on this place by review searching a few years ago and it never disappoints. The older Asian lady who seems like an owner/manager is ever so kind, she's so warm and efficient. If you come here and think "wow, it's packed", just remember, they clear people out quite well, without the feel of rushing you. We are never deterred by how packed it is. The parking situation though is a bit cramped but you can always park down the hill by the other establishment. The fried enoki mushrooms are one of my favorite along with the Tonkatsu. What I also love about this place is they are very flexible on adding toppings. Location is great, its by lots of nearby shopping which makes for a great lunch break while youre in Cary. Overall, Noodle boulevard is always solid win. Actually except for the fact they are closed on Mondays (boo hoo), oh and also be mindful that they close during the day from 2PM - 5PM. Very important. I get frustrated when restaurants do this but hey I guess being the best, needs a break sometimes :) read more

We went shortly after opening on Saturday. It was packed!! We sat at the corner bar table right by the kitchen. I order the beef ramen with a spice level of 3. Whew!! I'm glad I tasted it before trying to add sriracha sauce. Level 3 was spicy enough for me. Everything was so flavorful and really good. My son had the duck ramen. He enjoyed it as well and he's a very picky eater. I will definitely come back and try more options! read more

This is my favorite ramen spot! And it's evident because I drive 30 mins to get here. The ramen is always hot, fresh and delicious. The service is always great, I don't like that they no longer have the paper menus, I'm cool that it's online but tell me everything that comes in the bowl online. I shave to ask the server which I feel is stressful for them and me. It's a very small place and there is always a line; with that being said I think there needs to be some kind of policy on how your on the list. You literally wait in line outside in the elements to be seated. It does get a little loud inside, with all the people with laughter and joy from enjoying a good bowl of ramen. Don't get me wrong they do have rice options, but I can't recall ever seeing anyone eating anything other than ramen. read more

This is my friends FAVORITE place to get pho/ramen. So much so that when we sat down the waiter and owner knew exactly who she was. This place is cozy the only thing I would say is that parking can be a bit of a task at times. Other than that this is a dope spot. My friend ordered the Spicy Seafood Kimchi Ramen(level 5) and I asked the waiter to surprise me and I ended up with the Hangover Seafood ramen(level 2). It was delicious however I did end up asking for more spice. I will definitely be back to this place. read more

The broth was good and the noodles were decent. I will say I will not be returning, it doesn't seem to be authentic with celery in it. although I'm sure the local people enjoy it, they probably don't go out much. My short rib was tender but flavorless. Also when asked to replace the with black garlic the server said it would be an additional 17 dollars for the already 20$ bowl. Later to circle around and tell another mate at our table that he could just add black garlic for no charge since it's an oil. So I'm not sure how that was a question that was confusing. As well as the server having no awareness for his own placement of items on the table. It is unacceptable to reach over someone soup over and over again. Serve from the left and right not through the middle of the table with your arms waving over peoples open food. As a chef please know it's serving drink from the right and food from the left. Picture 2 shows that he could easily serve from behind us read more

Yummmm-- Noodle Boulevard was a nice find when I needed a quick ramen fix! The tonkotsu ramen is fire, and the fried oysters and gyoza get an honorable mention. Delish! Service was fast and excellent. We appreciated the overflow parking as their lot was full. All in all, Noodle Boulevard is fantastic! read more

Food is not to my taste! I took a dish with rice and beef, but the meat portion is very minimal. Also food quality I did not like at all.

Such good ramen and cool atmosphere. Great service and cute little outdoor patio. Would highly recommend!

*more like 3.5 stars* Loved the decor and people were super friendly but a few mistakes left you for more. We ordered edamane to start and I think they forgot about it bc it came out after our ramen. I ordered the Shoyu ramen and it was pretty good. I didn't like how it put lukewarm and would have preferred it to come out piping hot. The boiled egg was also cold. The broth had the depth that you would have expected and the pork was cooked well, although I wish had a little bit more. It'll satisfy your ramen craving but I didn't leave blown away. read more

Very good and nice service. I wish they were open longer hours though ... I like the outdoor seating as well as the indoor. read more

I've been a frequent visitor for a while but hadn't been here in a few months maybe due to summer heat. The restaurant was sold not to long ago as I did not see the usual wait staff.

Guaranteed it'll be on your go to list. read more

My fav noodle spot in town! The ambiance inside is very cute & authentic. Everything tastes amazing. I was taken aback by the chicken skewers!

As ramen enthusiasts (thanks to my wife), we've tried a lot of ramen, but the dishes at Noodle Boulevard may have outdone them all. Our first attempt to dine here was thwarted by a line out the door--it was freezing, and with a little one in tow, we decided to come back the next day. When we returned, it was just as busy, and the only hiccup was that they wouldn't seat our party until everyone had arrived. For a Ramen place the ambience inside was nice and it was a rather large restaurant. I will say that our server was a bit slow and because they were so busy she would often forget to check in on us, but with a place as busy, you just have to deal with it. Once we were seated, the experience was worth the wait. The ramen was absolutely fantastic. The broth was rich and flavorful, and the noodles were perfectly cooked. While I can't recall all the names of the dishes, each bowl looked--and tasted--amazing. Notably, my wife ordered the beef braised ramen, and it was the standout. The meat was moist, tender, and literally falling off the bone. It's rare to find ramen this good, and if you're a fan of authentic, high-quality ramen, this noodle bar is a must-visit. We'll definitely be back! read more

I came here for dinner based on a recommendation from a coworker and I am so glad I stopped in for dinner with a couple other people! Even though this place is a first come first serve basis, we waited only about 20 minutes for a table for 3. The service was fast, because within seconds of sitting down, our waitress approached us and took our orders. Only mere minutes later, did our waitress return back with our ramen! I am SO happy with my choice, the black garlic ramen. I got it mildly spicy and that still had a kick. No complaints here though! The broth was so creamy and the poached egg was PERFECT! I'm from NJ, but this is a new favorite spot for the next time, I'm in town! read more

The food was really amazing, I had the seafood hangover ramen, lvl 2 spice. I think lvl 2 was a little more medium heat than I thought it was gonna be, and it took a bit of wait to get, but it was fully packed when we got there. Also had the takoyaki balls and they were so good, but only come with 4 pieces. The servers were all super nice, and I totally can't wait to go back! read more

First time at Noodle Boulevard, was craving noodles and heard so many great things about this place, so we decided to give this place a try and I was thoroughly impressed! You can choose a spice level of 0-6 with each dish, which I thought was such a neat concept. I ordered the Chicken Curry Ramen Bowl with a spice level of 5, and it completely exceeded my expectations. The spice level added a perfect, silent kick without overpowering the rich flavors of the curry. The chicken was tender and flavorful, all the flavors of the soup just soaked into each piece. The ramen bowl included: fresh greens, a soft boiled egg, crispy wonton strips, crisp bean sprouts, pickled mustard greens and a lime wedge. All the flavors went harmoniously together for the best umami experience. The noodles were also cooked al dente which is exactly how they should be! The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and friendly, and the staff were so kind and very attentive. I highly recommend Noodle Boulevard for anyone looking to enjoy a deliciously satisfying bowl of ramen. Loved this place, will definitely be back! read more

I had the BKK noodles and my wife Miso Ramen and ancient Thai coffee. The bill came to $57 including tip for lunch. $57 for a lunch for two people with a coffee. I had to repeat that.

I stopped for lunch after having heard great things and read the overwhelmingly positive reviews here. The service was quick and very friendly, but the positives pretty much end there. I can't say the food was bad, but it wasn't particularly good. My rice bowl had what appeared to be 2 ounces of pork belly, and my companion's ramen looked sketchy. Perhaps the worst part was the jangly loud music. I even heard someone at the next table say something about not being able to hear what their friends were saying. We won't be back, especially not for what this poor meal cost. read more

Delicious. We tried the bun with chicken, beef ramen, veggie ramen with duck, and rice with pork kids meal for the little man. Everything was delicious and the food came out relatively quickly. I ordered a 'medium' heat level and it seemed spot on. Hubs ordered a 2 on a 1 to 6 heat scale and his was sufficiently hot. The patio has umbrella tables and seats at least 30-40 people. We will be back to try more menu items. read more
