Had dinner tonight after scouting out places within a short walk of my Vrbo. When I saw the reviews…read morefor this place, I knew that this would be it. The service was excellent, with all of the staff, being friendly, prompt, and helpful. I ordered the gyoza and Terakawa ramen - both were delicious. The pork bone broth is quite satisfying, and I will say that the pork and egg were just perfect. The noodles are slightly smaller than ramen I've had elsewhere, but they had a nice texture to them and were definitely not over or undercooked. (That's the -1 star for me - I really love alkaline noodles and wish they used them here...) The decor is very utilitarian, but representative of the type of establishment they are going for (small neighborhood ramen shop). Overall, a pleasing experience and reasonable value. I would definitely recommend checking this place out! Oishii desu!!

She also filled up our water often but not too many times. She welcomed us in and acknowledged us. We were trying to pay with cash instead of card, she noticed and printed out a discounted cash receipt. The food came out so fast! There is visibility to the kitchen as well and it looks super organized and clean. Shrimp Tempura Ramen - the two shrimp pieces were battered to perfection, not oily and tasted like I was eating chicken? The noodles were not too thin and they weren't overcooked either. The vegetarian broth is pretty flavorful for what it is. 5/5 I will definitely be coming back! If you're in Fishtown area, check it out. They are located across the street from Kismet Bagel. There seemed to be plenty of parking in the nearby streets. The prices are very reasonable and the menu online is the same as it is in person, so no surprises!

Nom Nom hits every single time - the tofu with the light coating, the bok choy and other veggies, and the delicious savory broth with the chewy and plentiful noodles is such a delicious and comforting hug-in-a-bowl. The eggplant bao are also soo tasty, with the eggplant fried just right, the crunchy veggies adding a little texture and the creamy sauce tying it all together. Great vegetarian options, which I love.

Also, the owner advised me they only had one ramen left which was fine with me because that was all I wanted. I had the Karai spicy miso with fragrant black garlic oil. Ordered it with double pork. It was amazing and hit the spot, just what the doctor ordered! I would order this again and again, I ate the entire bowl. I took it to go but Nom Nom is a small restaurant. Go for the ramen, you will not be disappointed.

Came on a Sunday evening and about half the small restaurant was filled - the space is super cute, with an inviting dark blue color scheme and cute posters and photos of inspirational quotes and dogs. We ordered the Tofu and Eggplant taco and Mushroom and Zucchini taco to start - both were delicious. The mushroom and zucchini one actually had slightly more flavor, but the sauces on both were really tasty with good contrast in flavor, and the veggies were fried just right. For mains I got the Vegan Miso ramen with egg noodles and my husbans got the Vegan Spicy Kimchi ramen with egg noodles. I LOVED my ramen - the broth was deeply savory, the corn added nice pops of sweetness, and I really enjoyed the soy patty - it was chewy and had a great bite. My husband also enjoyed his ramen and said it was one of the best in the city - the kimchi flavor was very different than any ramen I've tried before. Service is good and overall I will definitely come back to Taco & Ramen and maybe try a new item. Yum!

That alone makes it a very cozy spot when getting some ramen to warm up on a cold day. They have a variety of taco and ramen choices, as well as boba tea and other beverages. Tried the tonkatsu ramen: tasty broth, fair amount of noodles, and the pork, egg, and other veg was good. Shrimp tempura taco was tasty and had a nice creamy aioli sauce drizzled on. Both taco and ramen are pretty good, and the atmosphere makes it great. Thanks

Who doesn't love a BYO sushi place?! Didn't have reservations on a Friday night but arrived around…read more6pm and got a great spot at the bar. From my seat I could see sushi being prepared and the daily workings and prep. The seating is deceiving as there are 2 seperate sections of the restaurant. The spring rolls were good but the crispy salmon skin roll was out of this world. I will come back just for that! Service was a bit slow even sitting at the bar and my water glass was never refilled even when asked but I'll chalk it up to a busy Friday. Will definitely be back!

literally best vegetarian / vegan sushi in the city…read more okay to start, if your friend/date/family member is vegetarian or vegan, take them here. you both will have options. inside is cozy. service is really thorough and like a well oiled machine. for the vegetarians: The lime sinko roll is a classic avocado cucumber roll with a pickled vegetable layer on top and a thin slice of lime. the roll itself is great, simple, and a classic. my sister really likes the pickled vegetable and lime on top. I however, just peel it off. it's good but I prefer without it. the veggie on fire is what you need: probably their best roll on the menu. it's a cucumber avocado roll with a spicy zucchini sauce on top and crispy fried onions. it's messy. it's spicy. it's delicious. the sauce is orange in color, has tiny slivers of zucchini in it. I was hesitant to try it at first, but it's my favorite roll now. the vegan tuna roll: it's marinated tomato in place of tuna. i've never had fish or tuna, but it definitely tastes a lot more fishy. I guess that's the marinade. texture is kinda slimy? mushy? I feel like this might be the roll for someone who liked the taste of fish but went vegan and wants a replica. Not for me, but well made nonetheless. Appetizers The veggie gyoza: the gyoza itself is green, doesn't taste different to a non green dough, but visually that might matter to some people. sauce they serve on the side is very good. comes with a lot, at least 6 I think. tastes good. I don't recall any mushrooms in it and if there is they are not noticeable as i'm not the biggest fan of mushrooms. The Spring rolls: new to the menu, no meat, interesting? they are more soft inside than expected. not a lot of veggies. tiny. cute little app to share and try. they come with two. no mushrooms. I typically prefer a more veggie heavy and crispy spring roll but i'd order them again! Samosa: currently off the menu I think, but in case they add it back, this was very good. i'd order this over the spring rolls. they were crispier and I think it came with three. Miso Soup: it's a fine little bowl of miso. I typically always order miso at every Japanese restaurant to start my meal. i'm not picky about miso, but I will say, it's not my favorite miso. I still order it every time, just not the absolute best i've had. It has small little tofu chunks and some green leafs which I find are in most misos but I have no idea what they are. small little bowl. perfect to order first. edamame: very good I always order in the beginning and I have a bad habit of also ordering another for dessert. the veggie bun: I don't like mushrooms, but if you do you will love this. my sister loves it. it's not often there is a vegetarian option for a bun, so i'd get it. the sauce on it is very good. comes with two. Karaage: This is chicken, but my dad gets it and it looks very good and crispy. if I ate meat i'd order this. avocado salad: okay so the ginger dressing is a little different than typical ginger dressing which I like. it's unique and very good. the amount of avocado is amazing! it has to be a whole avocado. always fresh. the green leafs are a little big, so this can get messy fast if you're on a date and trying to be demure. this is a must order for three people in my family. every time we go it's three orders clock work. I tried sharing with my sister and we determined we cannot share this. honestly bigger than I expected and more filling than I expected. has some cut up tomato's and cucumbers inside as well. mochi: must get. one order is one mochi cut in half. so two people could share one mochi order. i'm team chocolate, but I heard strawberry is good. I think I tried all of their flavors but honestly can't remember them. I'll update as I try more of the vegetarian/vegan rolls

Not vegan-friendly! Vegans do not eat here!…read more Today my girlfriend and I got dinner here (I am vegan/she is not), I ordered 2 avocado cucumber rolls because there was a happy hour deal. My girlfriend emphasized how important that there be no cross contamination and the waitress seemed to understand. The food looked normal until I got to my 4th roll... I see there are small orange fish eggs mixed into the wasabi, on some of the ginger and even a handful on some of the sushi. The waitress came over and apologized, she talked to the chef and the chef said he didn't change gloves. (!!!) They made me more rolls but I had already lost my appetite. We asked if they could take off the charge for the rolls that were inedible but the waitress said no because it was happy hour. Will never be going back.
