Yelp had suggested this place and based off both reviews and photos, I had a feeling this place would be good! Happy to report, this place is quaint, cozy, and complete with both good eats and excellent service. The Vegetable Miso Ramen had a rich, flavorful broth that I enjoyed greatly. I love the ability to be able to order a half marinated egg as that is just what this ramen needed. All four of us enjoyed what we ordered and even the coworker who has never had Japanese food found something she liked. Love showing others new cuisines. We all left saying we would return. If you are in the area, check this place out! I know I will if I'm set back on a work trip.

I like how you can order your meal on the kiosk and make all kinds of adjustments like switch your meat option and add anything you want.

It was super crispy, but the meat was still so juicy. And the sweet and creamy sauces just finished the perfect bite. The ramens were pretty solid too. The matcha broth was super creamy and light. And the tonkotsu was so flavorful, with really tender chashu and a perfectly soft boiled egg. Plus the noodles were a really good texture. The restaurant itself is really cute too. They also have a convenience store type of ramen station in the front, which I really want to try. As well as a little arcade game that you can play in the front while you wait to be seated. However, I was really not a fan of the service. It's nothing really against the servers because they were super nice, but they just seemed so frazzled. We arrived around an hour before closing, but it took forever for us to be seated, despite seeing a few empty tables around. By the time we were seated, we were told kitchen would be closing in two minutes, so we had to hurry and put in our orders. All of that was fine and I didn't mind. But what I did mind was that our waitress checked our order twice when we first have it. And she came back to our table within the next five minutes to check our orders again for a third time to make sure she had down what we wanted. I wanted the matcha ramen and was most looking forward to having some chashu and egg. So she confirmed my order three times that I wanted matcha ramen. But when it came out, she gave me the vegetable bowl. I knew the kitchen had closed at that point, so I just ate it, but I was really disappointed. (I did get to try a bite of my friends egg and chashu, which also didn't really help because it was so good and made me wish mine came with those even more.) When we were finished eating, it took forever for the checks to come out. This I also didn't mind that much, because the servers, again, looked really frazzled trying to close up. But at this point we had waited until well after their closing time, so part of me was hoping they could just close us out first and then finish closing down the place. I think we waited at least half an hour from when we first asked for the check (at which point we had already been waiting a while) to when we finally got our cards back. I did see they charged me for the vegetable version of the matcha ramen so it was whatever, but then also I was confused - so it wasn't a mix up in the kitchen, she rang it up as the vegetable one from the beginning! Even though I never mentioned it and she never said vegetable when confirming my order. It was a dollar less to get tofu instead of an egg and chashu which doesn't seem worth it. Writing this all out, I'm sorry to rant, because the food really was good. And looking at other reviews, it looks like the service is usually pretty good. But again, it was just disappointing. That being said, I am really hoping it was a one off thing because I would go again and try some other menu items too.

I just had a late lunch in MODU Ramen yesterday and I was thoroughly impressed…read more The first thing was the Service... the waitress was welcoming and attentive throughout the meal. She was patient as my wife and I and a few friends reviewed the large menu with her, and followed up throughout our meal. The second was the food We started with sharing an appetizer of garlic soy fried chicken wings and dumplings...very tasty Then I had Tonkotsu Ramen and my wife had tempura udon... both were large servings, with home made noodles and a favorable pork broth with fresh vegetables. Mine had a 3 pieces of a thick cut pork and egg in the broth what was really surprising was when the dessert came... I think it was called mango Bing Soo... What it is, is a huge bowl of shaved ice with Mango and cream. It was delicious... and perfect for after the main dish we ordered... and I would go there just to get that dessert alone.... I don't normally take my time to recommend a place but I recommend this one as a find .. highly

Server is extremely attentive regardless of the fact that they are not taking your order directly. As soon as I completed my order, I could hear it come through to the kitchen and the order being started. Food came out quick! Let me just talk about the takoyaki for a minute. These delicious little balls are epic. There's not a really fishy taste to them, but there are flakes of fish for the topping of these octopus balls. Perfectly crisp on the outside and gooey good on the inside. Honestly could just eat these and be in heaven. Good news, egg rolls are man finger sized. Bad news, you only get two per order. Nearly scarfed these crispy rolls down in one bite, they were so tasty. The main meals were kimchi fried rice and black tonkotsu ramen. I shared the ramen with a teen and we had just enough leftover for one more serving the next day. It's hearty and filling! The soft boiled egg was perfect! The pork was so tender, it could be broken up with chopsticks or a fork alone. Broth was perfection with a good umami flavor and a savory warmth. Corn was the pop of crunch needed. However, the kimchi fried rice was controversial for its flavor at our table. While some in the party liked the smoky flavor of the blackened rice, others felt it was too much and made the dish acrid. Didn't have a strong kimchi taste to any of us. Color was beautiful. Reheated ramen review: Flavor was great the next day; no loss in texture. Broth might have even been more savory the next day.

The decor is playful and immersive, and there's usually something going on -- from live DJs to karaoke on the main stage. The drink menu is where Nakama really shines. There's a solid selection of mixed drinks, often with creative anime-inspired names and presentations, plus a nice bonus: they serve a local soda brand that's actually pretty tasty. It's the kind of place you go to kick back with friends, sing your heart out, and enjoy the scene. But when it comes to food -- that's where things fall flat. The menu technically comes from the café next door, and while it sounds promising on paper, it doesn't translate well to the plate. Most dishes are either way too salty or bland to the point of forgettable. It's clear food isn't the focus here, which is fine, but it's something to keep in mind if you're showing up hungry. Service is friendly and accommodating. Staff does their best, but they're often out of certain menu items and seem to be working with limited resources -- not their fault, but noticeable. Honestly, a new chef or reworked food concept would go a long way. A quick heads-up: the private karaoke rooms are fun but overpriced at $16 per person per hour, so weigh that before booking. Still, the open-stage karaoke and regular themed events keep the main space lively and fun without the extra cost. Bottom line: Nakama is a great place to hang out, drink, and enjoy anime-themed entertainment. Just maybe eat beforehand.
