    Delicious Ramen! We dined in and food was fresh and flavorful! Clean establishment and calm atmosphere, great costumer service as well. Easy parking in the garage in the back. I recommend!

    This is an updated review since 1 yr ago: Delicious foods as always from ramen, musubi, grilled squid, beef don to various rice bowls. And they added new items to menu, make sure to try those out. Good service most of the time. When they get busy can be a little chaotic. Rustic vibes with simple but clean decor. Parking is still limited in the garage. There are nearby street parkings or can utilize UMD campus parking briefly.

    Not my favorite ramen spot in the area. Ordered and Okinawan Onigiri which was disproportionately layered as opposed to the picture provided in the website. My husband liked his spicy ramen and found my ramen extremely garlicky. I wouldn't recommend this place since there are several other good spots around.

    We randomly ventured in on our lunch break. My husband had driven by a few times and really wanted to try it. Surprisingly there were several other parties there. I liked the way the location was decorated. Industrial meets a set scene lol. Service was quick. Servers didn't seem too interested to be there. They were not hospitable but the service is quick. I held my breath for the ramen. Only few places can do ramen well. Unfortunately, this was not one of them. It tasted very watered down. I forgot to snap a picture of my husband's ramen bowl. I will say I really enjoyed my pork bowl. It had the right balance of meat with rice and the sauce had a nice consistency.

    I'm so glad this strip of Campus Drive is being developed and adding more eateries. This definitely isn't the only ramen shop in the neighborhood, but it probably has some of the most convenient parking which makes it ideal. Ambiance: I stopped in a Friday evening about an hour before they closed at 9:30p. The restaurant itself is pretty large for the area with about 8 tables to seat 4-6. As soon as you enter, you find 2 kiosks for order. There's an open concept kitchen so you can see and smell the food being prepared as you wait. Service: I didn't dine in, so I can't speak to the sit down experience. Ordering from the kiosks was pretty straight forward-- just select what you like, pay, and you get a text message when your food is ready. There were people that walked in after me for dine in that were confused if it was self-seating or if they should wait for a server. I'm deducting 1 start because when you pay at the kiosk they tack on a "convenience fee" that's coupled with tax. I find that a little unfair since there isn't an actual person to place a to-go order with. Food: I ordered the Aka Oni Karaka. It took about 15 minutes to prepare. The ramen broth was packaged separately as maintain it's heat for the 20 min drive home. Flavor wise-- it was tasty and I'll definitely order it again. It was just spicy enough for you to feel the kick without your mouth being fire. The perfect kind of ramen for a sick day or to satisfy a craving. 4/5

    I have been eyeing this place since it opened -- yet another addition for the spoiled UMD students! It's located on campus on that same strip that Jumbo Jumbo Chicken is on. There's a garage on the back that you can park in, or you can park across the street which opens up to everyone after 4:00 PM. I was the first to arrive, so I went inside, and literally the first thing that caught my eye was the Good Vibes Only neon sign, and... a functioning cotton candy machine. I don't even understand LOL. Anyways, I sat and waited for my friend. The staff were friendly and said I could either order through the QR code or order with them. Once my friend arrived, we ordered with them since we had questions. I got the Aki Oni Karaka ramen and takoyaki (I already told you, I don't pass up the opportunity when I see it on a menu!). The ramen had plenty ingredients, but the protein was pork belly, and it was good! I really enjoyed these noodles. Solid takoyaki! I am continuing to expand my range of different ramen spots, and I appreciate their variety... I suppose $15-$16 is average for ramen. But really, the highlight for me was the cotton candy -- my friend and I made some after we finished our meals... it's free! Such a fun random and unexpected addition to a ramen restaurant. I will most likely return!

    Restaurant was clean and the food came out quick. I had the Aka Oni Karaka ramen it wasn't that spicy, but it tasted good! You order your food at a kiosk and the up front person delivers your food at your table. He had airpods in not much can be said about the service- its kind of a self service restaurant. The restaurant had no music. Okay experience, wouldn't go again.

    Hello!

    I honestly came here because The Spot Mini do not serve Ramen anymore, so I decided to come to the closest Ramen spot. The ambiance seemed typical of a college town dine-in spot. I decided to dine in & immediately noticed the chairs were too small to squeeze myself in. I decided to order the Grilled Squid and the Kuroi Oni Shinaji ramen bowl. I don't know why, but I guess they thought it would be a bright idea to bring the appetizer AND entrée OUT AT THE SAME TIME. I was not a fan of that and would have preferred the traditional appetizer first, then the entrée approach like most restaurants do. I was not a fan of the squid. It was too rubbery, and after I complained, the staffer essentially told me in a nonchalant manner it's supposed to be rubbery (which isn't true because I regularly consume squid & octopus). No accommodation to correct the dish. The ramen was also not worth the $18 dollars they charged for it. It was lacking in seasoning/flavor. The chashu was okay but on the sweet side, which I also did not like (who wants sweet & savory ramen?). There was cabbage in it & it honestly was pointless. It added nothing to the bowl since it was just plain cabbage & was a waste. I've had way better ramen for the same price point or less. It didn't taste authentic. Would I recommend this place? Based on my experience, no. I will also not be returning. They should work on their customer service skills and provide a more creative but simpler, AUTHENTIC method of making their ramen.

    This ramen joint is located near a parking garage (free for retail establishments in that same strip). The interior is minimalist and spacious. The menus are accessed by scanning the QR code at each table. Orders are placed at the touchscreen displays near the front door. Everything is seamless and convenient. If any questions arise servers are around to answer in person. They have several solid ramen choices, along with rice bowls, curry and traditional appetizers (squid, gyoza, takoyaki, ect) all reasonably priced. I got the raku motoaji, which was their non-spicy vegan ramen. It came with curly noodles in a mild vegetable broth, 2 slabs of pan-fried tofu, seaweed, sprouts, bamboo shoots, shredded cabbage, tomato slice, asparagus and scallions. Compared to other vegan ramen bowls from other places this one was much lighter and less salty. The broth had a much cleaner taste. My companion liked his nirvana aka (which was essentially my choice but with spicy broth). Servers came by often to fill water and were very courteous and professional.

    My wife and I took our first year Terp to this place for dinner. It's a popular spot with college students. There is free garage parking in the rear. Upon entering, you enter your food order via a kiosk then find a place to sit. The restaurant is small with limited seating. I was excited and looking forward to a delicious bowel of spicy ramen. We all ordered the Aka Oni Karaka ramen. Unfortunately, the uneven service was disappointing. We had to ask the 2 male servers for everything. We had to wait approximately 15-20 minutes after getting the first bowl to get the other ramen orders. They had forgotten the rest of our order. My wife's ramen soup was room temperature. I really wanted to like this place but the service here was atrociously bad. Until they fix the poor service, I would consider looking elsewhere.

    The food was good but seemed like packaged food you can buy and make yourself. The Thai tea was really too. Overall it was good but I'm giving it a 3 because the price, I feel was a bit expensive and after I stayed in there for a while it started getting really hard to breath because the place wasn't well ventilated and they were frying food in the kitchen.

    My family was out one day, and my daughter said "I want ramen!" We were pretty much in agreement with her statement. Lol. We found this place by doing a google search. It's right on the UMD College Park campus. Be careful about parking if you are going during a weekday. We came on a Saturday, so we were able to park in the lot across the street without a pass. When you go in, you place your order at the machines by the front door and find a table to sit at. It's a little small, but it was fairly empty so we found a spot with no problem. The young man behind the counter was very nice, and helped us out with questions we had the Aka Oni Karaka. The food came out quickly, and it came out hot. The portion size was huge, and the price was right ($16). It was so delicious! I like my ramen spicy, so I was happy about the addition of the chili oil/paste. The noodles were cooked perfectly, and the broth was very good. My favorite part was the pork. It was flavorful, and it just melted in my mouth. I'm already thinking about my next visit!

    Tried Onikama Ramen Bar for the first time today and had a great lunch. Ordered the tonkatsu ramen and gyoza. The food was tasty and well presented, and was served quite quickly. The friendly, attentive host/server provided great service, and the modern, clean, and inviting space was very pleasant. Will definitely return.

The owner assured me that it is just as important to him and his staff and I left that conversation feeling good that my concerns were addressed properly. Fast forward a few months later, and I place the same order for Sakedon as before and noted no ginger due to allergies. Not only did I get the same full load of ginger in my order but my second order of Donburi Moriwase was missing, but instead an order of Chicken Katsu Curry was in its place. I guess this was an "in-ordered replacement...or retaliation for expecting a business to do their due diligence with safety issues concerning orders? Not sure about that, but they sure didn't hesitate to take my money. As I stated earlier, the food is good for a decent price but this type of BS is part of the reason why people get fed up with establishments. I plan on taking this issue to the Health Department, but at least wanted to throw some caution to others out there. Good luck and watch very closely what is being thrown into your food.
