First visit in November 2021: Craving ramen but don't want to cook instant or simply want a ramen bowl but you do not have any topping at home? Then, this place is for you! My friend was craving ramen and since I love Yelp, this is the place I found that is not far from us. This place looks tiny from the outside but once you get in, there's ample room. The servers are nice and quick. They are attentive to their guests and we came during lunch time. I forgot to take a picture of todays specials and I was so happy when I saw they serve crispy squid tentacles! That was the first thing I ordered before we looked at the menu. This squid is not normally offers in their menu. They offer an online menu but if you prefer paper copy, they also have that too. I love the fact that they have ramen bowls for kids. My child loves ramen and to have her very own bowl at a restaurant made her feel special. You can add additional toppings to any ramen bowls if you want. I got the Szechuan ramen and I loved the heat of it and all the toppings that came with it. Visit 8/3/22: The crispy squid tentacles are on the menu! It was as good as the first time getting them. My 3year old loves it. If you bring kids and wants ramen, they have different sizes for them. The price can vary if you add more toppings. So if you get a kids ramen and add a lot of toppings, you are paying the same amount as if you buy the regular size. So keep that in mind. During this trip, I got the tonkotsu. It came with veggies and chasu pork. I added an egg. f you never had this kind of egg, do not be alarmed by its colour, it's a marinated egg. So it's a bit yellow brownish due to soy sauce base. The broth was nice and rich, i got it spicy so it had a kick. My kids had the kids ramen and the teriyaki chicken rice. The rice dish was devoured quickly. The sauce on the chicken was spot on and looked pretty and inviting to eat. As for the ramen, if you get Naruto, fish cake with a pink swirl, they add a couple of slices. My kids loved their ramen. The broth had a complex taste. One of the ramen tasted like a chicken bone broth mixed with seafood probably because we added fish cakes and an egg. The ice cream are delicious and it had pieces of lychee and red beans. Very nice way to end a meal! Satisfaction! The servers are very attentive and quick. If you are missing something, they will quickly amend it and make sure you get what you order. This is definitely a place to go back to since my children enjoyed it and were very happy with their experience. read more

So tasty and came out quickly. Be prepared for a line; we arrived at 5:15 on a weekday, were seated quickly. That being said, the place is rather small and filled quickly thereafter. Definitely worth the wait! read more

Noodle Boulevard - Chicken Curry Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

This is, by far, the absolute best ramen I have ever had. Noodle Blvd looks to be a converted Pizza Hut, but inside feels authentically 'Japanese noodle house'. I've never been to Japan but from pictures and movies this has the feel. The waitress suggested the house favorite, chicken curry ramen, but I elected the shoyu ramen. I will try the curry next time! Nice sized portion of char sui pork, the broth was delicious, and there were bamboo shoots mixed with the noodles which was a great combo! Sliced bamboo and bok choy were tasty additions. Just a really well-done ramen. I ate the WHOLE thing, and that is really unusual---I kept saying I have to stop......I am full....and I kept going. Speedy service was appreciated, and they were friendly and efficient. Definitely a "be back" spot! read more

10/10 would recommend! I just moved to the area and needed a new ramen spot. This place is a gem and worth the trip if you don't stay in Cary. The service is phenomenal, the atmosphere is very comforting with great tunes, and the food...SHEESH! If you enjoy spice, I recommend the chicken curry ramen as it packs so much flavor. read more

Went in during lunch with the boyfriend. Ordered the shrimp tempura bao and the chicken teriyaki ramen. Boyfriend ordered the shoyu ramen. It didn't take long for the ramen to come out, but I didn't receive my shrimp bao until my boyfriend went up to the counter and asked about it. Highly recommend getting yourself a Thai iced tea. The ramen was cooked to perfection and the broth was flavorful. The shrimp bao was simple but had great flavor. The restaurant is cozy and small but has plenty of seating. The outdoor patio was adorable, but it was too hot to sit outside. read more

One of two ramen joints I visited while in town. I wont bother pitting them against each other because they were both great. Noodle Blvd seems to be incredibly popular. I tried going one time at dinner and the following day at noon. Forget it ! Line was going outside. When I came back the next day after the lunch rush I figured out why. Amazing broth in the chicken curry ramen and they weren't afraid to bring the heat. I just asked for a 3 on a scale of 6 and it got my eyes watering. Not too much - just about right. I came back a second time to try the Bangkok curry which was a mix of pork and shrimp. That was yummy too. I also liked their spoons which were a different shape then the standard Asian soup spoons. Good spot - I'd definitely go again. read more

The service was good the short rib Ramen soup was great. Will definitely be going back

Great ramen spot! Absolutely delicious with good sake. Great for comfort food or on a cold night! It is a little tight in there and the staff was busy. But they did great for having a full house. A cozy spot! read more

Noodle Boulevard - Black garlic ramen - Ramen Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

I really like the Tom yum ramen here! It doesn't taste like the classic lemon grass tangy flavor but it has more of a crab paste base but nonetheless a very good ramen! The ramen is best when it's mild- when I got the medium it was a little too spicy for me and I love spice! Love the patio that is dog friendly and accommodates groups too. It was about a 15-25 minute wait during the lunch rush, and they close at 3pm. I've been here several times- every time, parking can be a challenge! Overall, a great spot for some ramen. read more

Very crowded/busy place, ordered pickup, took about 15-20 mins. The eggs are BOMB, it's seasoned just the right amount, with a perfectly runny yolk. The pork is kinda dry, not my favorite, but otherwise it's delicious. read more

My grandsons favorite noodle place for lunch or dinner . Portions are a good size for the price point. Drinks are refillable for certain types. read more

We absolutely love this place. Parking sometimes is a challenge, you may have to wait, but you will never be dissatisfied. Food is phenomenal. Service is terrific. That's all you can ask for. read more

Really good ramen, the service is great and I think they need to expand the place hahaha

A very curious indo ramen fusion place. As such, got the curry ramen which was nice but frankly more of an Indian dish with a ramen twist rather than the other way around. It was very flavorful. The ramen egg was not well marinated and clearly overcooked, appearing hard boiled. A friend got the shoyu which was poorly executed. Would not come here expecting authentic ramen but it's decent if you're expecting fusion ramen read more

I picked this place on yelp and boy am I glad I did! Great food, great service .... We will be back read more

The food was okay this visit. I've come before and loved the ramen, but it wasn't as flavorful this time. The bento box was surprisingly good. And you can't go wrong with the dumplings. This place is always super busy in the evenings, but there's never a super long wait for the food (although it may take a few minutes to get seated). read more

Stopped in for lunch with some friends after hearing great things about Noodle Boulevard. The food lived up to expectations! I ordered the spicy seafood tom yum ramen. It had great flavor and a nice, spicy kick that I really liked. 5/5 would recommend. read more

I loved it!! The ramen was some of the best I've ever had! Ugh amazing! The service was so quick. Like I'm talking record breaking. We got our food within 10 min of sitting down and within 6 min of ordering. Seating was fine for me but sometimes you might have to share a long table with others. No big deal unless you don't like strangers. read more

Noodle Boulevard - Miso Pork Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

Nom Nom!! :o) Hadn't been here in some time, because it is like 25 minutes from my house, and the last couple times we tried to go there it was either closed (Monday), or it was pre-covid, so there were terrible lines... Was afraid of the same thing coming out of covid, so was happy to get there and see it busy. I generally get a spicy Ramen, tomkatsu or something like that, but this time I got the special, the soup and noodles were good, but the short rib which I had to cut the fat out of was a little much for me. Still my favorite place in town. Still go back whenever I can. They make a mean Margarita as well. read more

Noodle boulevard makes miso happy! My new favorite place to go for ramen. We came on a Tuesday night, and it was packed... surprising for a Tuesday. Once we tried the ramen, we were no longer surprised by the crowd. Atmosphere is casual, so come any day, anytime. Come in your pjs (I saw someone who did), because it's just you and the ramen that matter at noodle boulevard. read more

Noodle Boulevard - Curry chicken - Ramen Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

If you are craving some delicious noodles, this is the place for you to visit. I've been coming to Noodle Boulevard since they were in the smaller location in Cary. That place had its own charms, but it was way too small to keep up with the amount of customers they got. This location is way bigger than the old one and even has outdoor seating area (what what?!) My favorite app is Gyo-Za - It's simple but has so much flavor. I've tried their Pork Belly Bun and Steamed Shrimps Shumai. The buns are no good for me, and the shumai was OK. Strongly recommend the dumplings! Oh, the noodles. I've tried many noodles at Noodle Boulevard, and they are all delicious even down to their broth (so on point). With that said, I always regret not ordering Spicy Seafood Tom Yum Ramen (Spicy Level 3 or 4). For me, their Shoyu or Miso, or Tonkotsu Ramen are a little too bland. Not that they are bad, but I personally like some kick in my food. Spicy Seafood Kimchi Ramen was somewhat disappointing to me (I claim my Korean card here to say this). Bangkok Ramen was delicious but it's not as good as Tom Yum Ramen! So if you like somewhat spicy and tangy food, please go with Tom Yum and you will taste heaven! I haven't tried all the noodles, yet. But I want to try all of them over time. I love Noodle Boulevard is in Cary (very close to Crossroad Shopping Center), and it's conveniently located right outside of highway. Love this place and I'm one content customer! read more

Noodle Boulevard - Bangkok Noodle - Ramen Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

Came on a weekend evening at around 7pm with a party of 2. We were able to immediately get an outdoor table. We got the Chicken Curry Ramen and the Bangkok Ramen both with a spiciness level of 3 out of 6. Ambiance: 5/5 Loved the indoor and outdoor ambiance Service: 4.5/5 Food: 4.5/5 Loved the various options and the taste of the ramen broth. The 3 out of 6 spiciness was just the right level of spiciness for me but would be slightly too overpowering for most people. I would recommend a 2 out of 6. The curry chicken broth had a light, sweet coconut flavor and was delicious. The Bangkok ramen had a nice clean broth. Price: 5/5 Inexpensive for ramen I will definitely be back to try other ramens. read more

It's a little small restaurant wise, but it's cozy. Even when we come here during peak hours, we usually get our food pretty fast. The ramen is always delicious! My favorite is the Bangkok ramen. I'll have to try their other ramens; it's been a while since I've had the shoyu or tonkotsu read more

Freaking fantastic. Just go. It'll be packed, but you'll get served quickly. Best ramen I've ever had, hands down.

Unreal food and service All top notch. The server/bartender was extremely helpful and very nice. Food was amazing

Very yummy Ramen with many different kinds. Not sure if it's the most authentic, but very tasty. I like the ambience and the service is quick and friendly. I have tried the chicken curry Ramen and also the Tom yum Ramen which is just a small slice of all their different flavors. read more

We came here while visiting family in the area. It was cold and I wanted something warm. Our cousins had been telling us about it and it did not disappoint. I had the duck ramen and my companion had the Bangkok. We both enjoyed. It has a great vibes. They need a bigger spot because it was packed when we arrived and we were seated by the patio door. In winter this was pretty rough, but we had a great service and food so we will definitely return when we are in the area. read more

Noodle Boulevard - Duck Ramen with pork rinds - Ramen Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

My newest Noodle spot. The broth of this place is out of control. So many deep layer for it's broth. I am drooling thinking about it. I ordered the Shanghai noodle; it did not disappoint. I added egg and mushrooms to it. By itself, it's still the star thus far. There are bits of garlic chips and the crunchy pork skin pushed it over the top! We also had the pork baro and the octopus balls; both were good but you can that anywhere. Service was very quick and friendly. Our noodles came before our apps but that's no biggie for us. The restaurant itself is very clean with average noise level. You can sit inside or outside, although outside patio is just busy street and traffic, not sure if you want that. I need to come back and try all the other noodles. It's sooooo good! read more

This place was amazing!! One of my friends had been raving about this places ramen so i has to come try it. I went with the Curry Chicken Ramen with a spicy level 3 and it was amazing. I was hesitant to go to high on the spicy scale (their rating was 1-6) just because I didn't know exactly how spicy each rating could get but for someone who enjoys spicy food a 3 was perfect for me. The flavor of the broth was everything and the vegetables were well cooked but still crunchy and flavorful. This was the perfect meal for a chilly fall day and I will definitely be coming back. read more

I love this local Cary spot so much! Everything is always really fresh. My favorite thing to add on top of any soup is the fried wonton skins (basically crispy noodles). They add the perfect texture to any soup you may get! I haven't had a bad dish here! If you're in the mood for a fast and hot meal, this is the spot for you! A very easy 5/5 stars! A must try! read more

I was in the area for a meeting and found Noodle Boulevard on Yelp. Although it was a little after 5 pm on a Friday, the parking lot was full. Once I was able to get parked, there was no seating available so I decided on takeout. The food I ordered was good but one hour later, I found out that it was extremely salty. Enough that my ears were red and my mouth was bone dry. Although I expect some salt to be used, I was a bit surprised to see the effects happen so quickly. read more

Loved the chicken curry ramen. I added enoki mushrooms and asked for hot chili oil which made it so much more delicious. The spice and the curry are so good together read more

Noodle Boulevard - Chicken Curry Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

So we've had several good outings here but today wasn't it. We got a rice bowl that was 80% rice and just a few strands of chicken. I ordered beef ramen at a spice level 2 out of 5 and it was like fire, I got the 2 two weeks ago and it was great. Waitress said 'sometimes it's really hot, sometimes not'. And my daughter got a kids ramen with barely any ramen. Was just an off night all around. read more

Until 6 years ago, I only knew of ramen as something starving college students would buy in bulk. After being introduced to grown up ramen by a Japanese executive 6 years ago, I have been to dozens of ramen houses on 3 continents. I was surprised to discover this gem and am happy to report that Noodle Blvd is as good as it gets. Perfect broth. Perfect egg. Amazing pork belly. Spice level is a personal thing. I took a guess at level 4 and it was perfect for me (hot enough to feel it without being uncomfortable). Service was fast and friendly. Food came out in only a few minutes. Only oddity for a ramen house was that the tables on either side of me were speaking Cantonese (as was the waitress) and I didn't hear anyone speaking Japanese. I assume that's just a reflection of local demographics rather than some indication that the Japanese locals are eating somewhere else. All to say, I highly recommend this if you're in Raleigh area! read more

2nd time visiting this place while in town on business. LOVE IT. Everything I've tasted here has been absolutely delicious. Pork bun, tonkotsu ramen, black garlic ramen, and THE DUCK RAMEN legit 5/5. Only downside is that it's a smaller restaurant, so quite packed and the potential for long waits. Probably not great for large parties. I had about 3 parties ahead of me and was sat within 10mins, so it does turn over quickly. They do have an outside patio that would extend the # of seats in the summer months. Parking lot is also small but free overflow parking next door. Great spot, highly recommended read more

TLDR: are they closed? Ended up going to Kiichi Ramen in Durham, they have chicken curry ramen and I loved it! Longer version: They accepted my takeout order and then cancelled 30 min later while I was on my way to pick it up. I called and called, no one answered. I checked the website, the Facebook page, and the Instagram but it looks like they haven't updated in quite awhile. No idea what happened, but Kiichi Ramen came through! read more

Noodle Boulevard is small and the parking can be a pain so takeout is recommended. My husband and I dined in and sat at the bar, I started off with a beer and we split a pork belly bun and the creamy croquette. For our entrees it was the shoyu ramen (N1) with medium spice for my husband and the chicken curry ramen (N9) with no spice for me. The food and service were both good, if you are craving a noodle bowl then check this spot out. read more

This is where you ramen, and it shows. Granted I'm sharing a photo of udon but who cares. Doesn't that look tasty?! It was. Crispy chili oil on the table to boot. We've enjoyed this place since it was 1/5th the size off of Harrison Avenue, never disappointed (unless they are out of something!). So many ramens to chose from - better try them all. My only complaint would be the stools. Perch and eat... then get out! Surely they do that to keep people From lingering too long... Outside chairs aren't much better. read more
