Yummy and satisfying noodle soup! I came to Oni Ramen wanting to satisfy a craving for ramen. I was very pleasantly surprised at the number of vegan, vegetarian, and pescetarian options. I found the computerized ordering system to be warmly reminiscent of ramen shops in Tokyo. I do feel that the pescetarian ramen that I had and the traditional ramen that my boyfriend had were far departures from traditional ramen flavors. The dishes were tasty and had great toppings, however the soup base was not exactly what I associate with ramen. I'll definitely be back for yummy noodle soup, but this is not the place for traditional ramen. Parking in this part of town is also tricky! I would recommend allowing for extra time for parking. read more

Oni Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Dallas, Texas

We came here on a Sunday night and it was pretty busy. You order through iPads that are set up at the north (front) entrance to the restaurant. There are only 2 of them so we waited for about 5 minutes before ordering ourselves. I like this approach because you can see exactly what customizations you are making on screen and what each ingredient is. I got the signature miso and added extra noodles. After ordering, we sat ourselves and waited again for about 15 minutes this time before our ramen was ready. They call out the number on your receipt to let you know it's ready. They were certainly busy and it showed. Because there is also outdoor seating, it was easy to find a table. Otherwise, the interior is not that big. The ramen was great! A good amount of food that had a good ratio of ingredients. The noodles themselves were fresh and delicious and you could tell it was fresh! A great addition to Deep Ellum! read more

This use to be one of my favorite places to get ramen but it seems like every time I go the prices have increased more and more.

Creative ambiance; the broth was not the best I have had but not the worst. Did enjoy the different options to be able to add or remove toppings from your ramen. Kinda scary that homeless people can come inside through the unattended back door and ask for money while you are eating inside. I'd ask to guard that door. read more

We tried the tan tan men and the chicken karaage. They were both equally delicious and even the small plates can feed a whole person. Tan tan men bowl was huge though. Try it, you'll enjoy the food and the place. read more

Our usual ramen destination is Ichiro on Maple, so we decided to branch out and try Oni. Both are good but personally I prefer the richness of Ichiro's broth. Oni's tan tan is saltier but still good. Ichiro's tan tan is nuttier but almost too much. I like the atmosphere at Oni which is more eclectic and hip (Ichiro's patrons are catching a work break). Be prepared to pay to park. We arrived at 5:15 PM on a Friday and parked in one of the few spaces left in the $10 parking. Inside space is tight but cozy. Only three tables, the rest is bar seating. Friendly staff. All in all it's worth the stop and won't disappoint. read more

I give it three stars for aesthetics, the plates are really pretty and they look nice but I recommend that you definitely must order it with spice because without the spice there is no taste. The plates are very bland. My family and I ordered 4 different Ramen dishes without spice so we could taste the broth they were very bland no taste at all. We are the type of people that finish everything including the broth but this time we could not stomach it. Leaving the restaurant we felt so guilty for not finishing our meals. I don't know about you but I don't like feeling this way after a meal that I paid for. I did enjoy the dumplings but dumplings are always good. They also have side dishes with pork or chicken with rice those were good as well. My only disappointment was the Ramen I was expecting more. read more

Delicious Ramen spot! You order on an iPad which is kinda fun and different. This was a great place to go on a cold, rainy, winter day. Everything tasted great! There are pictures of all these devils all over the walls. That is who "Oni." Oni is a demon in Japanese folklore. Next time I am in the mood for ramen again, I'll be here! read more

By far, this place serve the best Ramen noodles in Deep Ellum. I ordered the Kyushu Tonkotsu and it was very delicious and fresh (I will definitely try the other Ramen) next time with my friend. Great customer service. Plus: clean and neat place to eat. I highly recommend this place. read more

I've been noticing the ramen craze for the last couple years, but I could not get on board because I had not yet tried ramen... until recently. I stopped by Oni Ramen on my lunch break at work to get a quick bite and I was awestruck! First of all, you order from a kiosk, which has its pros and cons. It is a quick ordering system and very upfront about costs, but naturally, it's difficult to ask questions. That being said, it was surprisingly easy to specialized your order to your preferred degree of heat, extra components, sides, etc. I ordered the signature miso, which is a large bowl of ramen with pork belly, bamboo shoots, corn, and bean sprouts. It also came with these slimy black things I didn't like, but I could pick around them pretty easily. The pork belly was so tender and flavorful. The bean sprouts added some texture contrast and made the dish more interesting. And did I mention the portion was huge?!? That ended up being my only meal that day. Since trying their food, I've discussed ramen with two different friends individually and found out this is both of their preferred ramen place... so it's not just me! Do yourself a favor and go! read more

Awesome ramen. Best pork belly I've ever had. Love the order it yourself and customization. Got the extra spicy and it definitely had a kick. Fast service and very friendly staff. read more

I wish I could give a negative rating but since it's not an option I have to give a 1. I ordered a mild veggie ramen while my friend got a veggie med spiced one. I found my mild ramen to be spicier than my friend's medium so I asked for them to remake it to a mild level. Timmy and the two other girls who work there were EXTREMELY rude and kept pointing out that they don't do remakes or do refunds. We tried to reason again because it was THEIR mistake but they kept mocking us by saying "our taste buds are different from each other and how can we tell mild from med." This was EXTREMELY CONDESCENDING and sad because we were long time customers and have brought our friends from out of town to take them to a local favorite of ours but after being treated like this we will never be back. I am sitting in this restaurant waiting for my friends to finish while I'm starving. read more

Second time here and it's not just because we live in the neighborhood. The food is good! They are always busy for dinner and the staff always does a good job managing the chaos and keeping quality high. It is a fast casual atmosphere. They also serve beer, wine, and sake. My partner and I both got ramen - I had the Oni Reaper and he had the Tokyo Black. Delicious! Highly reccommend stopping in for your ramen craving. PS: When they say spicy, they mean spicy. read more

Oni Ramen - Back: Oni Reaper Front: Tokyo Black - Ramen Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I've never had true ramen before until trying Oni. They have set the bar pretty high! The place is very tiny when you first walk in. They have a bar type seating with a touch screen menu to place your order. This was neat because there are pictures associated with each item so you can see what you are getting prior to placing the actual order. I love tempura shrimp so I immediately went to the Tan Tan Men bowl which is a very spicy broth topped with tempura shrimp. I got the broth seasoned to a medium and man was it spicy but it was too good! I will definitely be getting it again. I also tried the Japanese mango soda and it was really good. Little pricey at $3.00 but well worth trying at least once. I didn't notice the sushi rolls on the menu while at the restaurant so I look forward to going back and trying more. read more

Oni Ramen - Vegetarian Gyoza Vegetarian Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Very small, max occupancy is 38 people. We came at 3pm and it was half full. Pretty nice crowd for an awkward 3pm lunch. You order at a kiosk which is pretty cool. You can customize your order with ease. Our food was amazing. Came out in about 5 minutes. I had the Chicken Miso Ramen and I ate 4/5 of it before throwing in the towel from being full. I added "mild" spice to it, however I say it was a little hotter than mild though. The noodles were perfect, broth was soothing and it's a very large dish. Hubby had the same thing as me but had "medium" spice and his mouth was burning. (But he loved it) We also ordered the chicken steam buns and OH MY GOSH!!!! next time I may just order 10 of these bad boys and call it a day. They were amazing! Service was awesome. Quick and caring. Parking is limited so you might have to drive a little bit before you find one. Ours cost $5.00 across the street. read more

Oni Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I would give them one star if I could. They messed up our order and made it spicier than requested. It was a mild and they kept arguing that we don't know what we're taking about when it came to spice level despite us telling them that we had come multiple times and eaten the same food. In fact my friend and I got the exact same broth but hers was vegetarian and mine had meat in it and mine was medium and hers was mild but hers was much spicier than mine. They were rude, condescending and absolutely flippant. They told us that we had different taste buds and when I explained that I tried both broths they said we must have switched them. We were livid and left the food. This is very sad considering this used to be one of my favorite places to get ramen. read more

Oni is one of my favourite ramen in Dallas for sure. I get their black garlic tonkotsu with their demon sauce. Its one of the hottest selection of sauce. The demon sauce has habanero in it so be careful. Ramen broth is consistent after coming several times already. I like the self order system at the wall if you sit at the wall-bar table. If you want to be served then you can sit near the bartender. Everybody was friendly and Brett is super cool! he knows my friend after the first time :) read more

Dare I say that this place is my favorite ramen place in Dallas?? Even over Wabi House and Maru! To order, you simply walk up to a screen to pick your entree and any add ons. I most recently ordered the Kyushu Tonkotsu, which is a pork ramen with black garlic oil. I love that they have legit spicy levels too! It may be a little pricier than other ramen places, but for the quality and being in Deep Ellum I think it is a reasonable price point. This is definitely my go to ramen place! read more

Oni Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Don't order the demon . It is so spicy that it is uneditable. The mild or medium is probably the max. Most ramen is good. We tried the signature miso, the kyoshu specialty ramen and the chicken broth ramen. The best is the chicken broth ramen surprisingly. The noodle was cooked just nice. Springy. The pork belly is not overly soft. And soft boil egg is just cooked perfect with the right flavor. Fragrant and sweet. Sides / appetizer is just normal, nothing to shout about. The only improvement is that it has lots of customers. Noodle was precooked i Suspect. It is not hot enough. I personally prefer something piping hot. If it is, I will give 5 stars. read more

Honest I love this place, but we got there and an employee told us to fuck off!!! I understand if you want to go home but, the wording on their door says we close 15 minutes prior to closing time. We got there 20 minutes before they closed. How are you going to tell customers to " fuck off" before the wording you have on your door!! Be upfront and tell us you want to go home early! Don't treat your customer's unprofessionally. We were bringing more business to you and that one employee could have handled the situation better. We were pointing out the fact that their door said otherwise but yet she decided to use vulgar language and not let us in. It's a disappointment to see this type of behavior from this establishment. And just know they don't value customers ocustomer service. read more

Terrible service. Not a place to go with kids. The "chef" was very rude and passive-aggressive. He actually moved against the table in a very aggressive behavior in front of my girls. I asked for a not spicy ramen but they served a spicy one. Please don't stop this please with your kids. read more

We came here for dinner on a Wednesday night and the place was only about half full! We parked at a lot across the street and walked over. You order from a computer right at the front, choosing your appetizers and entrees as well as whatever additions you want. You can either accept the entree as is or go through the various ingredients and accept/deny/change. You have to pay extra for spice, fifty cents for each spice level (strange but okay). You pay at the register and then sit down until they call your number. They have a bar and decent beer selection, so come thirsty! We just got water, so we filled our glasses at a self-serve water jug while we waited. We saw quite a few people call their orders in and get take out, which makes sense since there isn't a ton of room. The food was delicious! The pork belly was very good, the noodles were flavorful, and the broth was delicious. The portion wasn't huge so I almost finished all of it except for some leftover broth. read more

This is the best ramen house in Dallas. Tokyo, black medium with extra vegetables is the best.!

Well if you haven't seen my review for the FW one... I LOVE this place. This is seriously the only ramen place that can make my ramen SPICY, and I mean SPICY! I've been to Wabi and Ha Na Bi.. those places just do not compare. Apparently this Dallas location is like a regular Ramen shop, small, quaint, and bar seating.. the one in FW is big. Anyways, you go to a kiosk to order, pay, and then wait for them to call your order, easy as pie. I always order their Lychee Mule and Oni Reaper.. but I've been switching to Tan Tan Men with demon spice IN the bowl, extra noodles, shoots, and leafy greens, hold the bean sprouts. Now I'm hungry, and want to go get a bowl.. I eat Oni Ramen twice a week.. but carbs aren't on my healthy menu right now.. so everyone go eat it for me! read more

I was really impressed with how tasty the ramen is! The place is extremely small and casual. I think it's slightly tastier than wabi House. The chasu pork was what made the place have an edge to its competitors! Delicious! The egg was cooked perfectly and it wasn't cold! That's the way I like it! Yolk still runny but hot! ( I hope they will keep it that way!) Most ramen restaurant suck at the ajitama eggs- cold, or hard boiled or unseasoned right. I will come back for a revaluation! The noodles was good but I wish it was a little more springy . I felt as if the noodles were too flat. The broth had an amazing kick to it! All in all, I'm impress! read more

Food is great but this place is so disrespectful after tonight. I was in here tonight (12/19) and a guy in a red beanie at 9:00 said "They love to come in here right as we're closing huh" to another girl who was working at the bar. He said it loud enough to where I could hear, I dropped everything I was doing, asked for the check and left. He said it in a way that was so rude and I had already been there 30 minutes before. I work in the service industry, the doors on the shop say you close at 10:00. If you close an hour later, there's no excuse to not give good service or even to be kind. Because of lack of HOSPITALITY, I won't be back. read more

Stop inside to get a nice bowl of hot ramen after a night out drinking or if you're just wanting some on the fly.

An ode to Oni Ramen, and it goes a little something like this. You offer gluten free, and I mean even down to the miso broth and soy sauce - GF rice noodles that hit the spot - My only complaint don't charge me extra for added fire, that's a loss - I want my ramen spicy, don't blow your shot. read more

My partner and I ate here and it was really good! Word of warning though, if you can't handle spice go with the mild. It is a tad bit overpriced but I think that's more due to the neighborhood than anything. Next time we're craving Ramen in downtown we'll definitely be back! Also, for small plates the pork bao bun was so good read more

The Tokyo Black Ramen has lots of flavor. The first few bites were really good but the richness was almost overwhelming towards the end. Nevertheless, it was one of the better ramen spots I've had.

Yes! This is exactly what Dallas needed. A late night ramenery to soak up my vodka waters after a long night of dancing and random conversations in Deep Ellum. On the weekends they close anywhere from 3AM to 4AM. How cool is that? I stumbled in here after my class reunion that was held a couple of blocks away at STIRR. When I saw the tablet ordering method, I automatically got a bad taste in my mouth because it reminded me of TEN RAMEN (which I do not care for). But my class reunion was an open bar so my ability to reason was not at its best at that point--bear with me. Not many of the add-ons peaked my interest--distinctive toppings is what makes ramen fun and unique, right? I went with what I knew (Tonkotsu) and added corn; shortly after I looked for a table. At first sight, there's not much seating but they appeared to have plenty in the back. I grabbed a spot by the window and my order number was called. My piping hot bowl of ramen came to the rescue as I started to feel my head spin. The succulent broth coated my throat--it was like Santa Claus gave me the biggest hug from the inside. It felt warm, cozy, but most of all rich and delicious. The sweet pork belly was grilled to perfection and the noodles brought the flavors home as they soaked up the porky soup. OH MAY GAH! I just re-read this review and my mouth is watering. I'm telling you folks. Oni is the 2nd best ramen in Dallas! If Wabi House goes out of business (Lord forbid), Oni will get my moh-nee. :) read more

Service is terrible. They ignore you at the bar even though their iPad asks you for a tip. They have no appreciation for customers
