    We stopped by for lunch with some friends and were added to the waitlist, with about a 10-15 minute wait. The restaurant was nice and clean, and we were seated fairly quickly. We ordered the pork buns, gyoza, tonkatsu ramen, and the bulgogi rice bowl; everything was delicious. The ramen was especially a hit with my daughter; it was very flavorful. The only minor downside was that we wished the staff had checked on us a bit more, but it was fairly busy and there seemed to be only a couple of servers working. Overall, it's a solid ramen spot and worth checking out if you're in the area.

    The staff were super friendly from the moment I walked in. Multiple staff checked on me to make sure I was doing well while eating. I saw the ramen on top 100 in US so I had to try. The blackjack ramen was ok, not much flavor despite all the things in it. The chasu was not as tender or flavorful. The pork buns flavor was decent but meat to bun ratio was small. It's a nice environment inside and clean.

    Bulgogi--delicious!

    Is Ramen Ya the best ramen in the Baltimore area? I'd argue so. I've had so many options here and never had a bad experience. Even the veggie ramen is exceptional. You owe it to yourself to visit.

    Ramen Ya is like going to your friends house eat while they have also invited others. The rectangular dining room is an efficient layout in which the kitchen in the front of house can deliver the food. Beverages are housed in a glass upright cooler in the front. Suggest bringing a hoody or sweater inside in Jan and Feb because It can get cold inside. Probably because It looks like the building is a former fast food or Pizza Hut type place with lots of glass. The ramen is authentic and great. The service is great too.

    The ramen here is phenomenal! This is my first time here. I tried the tonkotsu ramen which was so rich in flavor. It comes with an egg and 4 pieces of chashu which was so so tender. It literally melts in your mouth! My friend got the black jack which has garlic oil which was also good. The wait on a Wednesday evening was about 30-40 minutes wait, but it was so worth it. It's a cozy restaurant inside. You can also see them making the ramen from scratch at the window.

    I have to update my review to say RamenYa listened and they leveled up. During my recent visit, my bowl was so rich in flavor and filled to the brim. One slurp after another, each packed with delicious morsels and noodles. Oishi, it remains to be top ramen spot in the area! Service is friendly and cleanliness is excellent. gochisousama, RamenYa.

    Worthy of a wait. We gas to wait a bit to get seated but it was definite worth it. It was crowded even at 7:30pm. We got a table and ordered a variety of ramen to try several different kinds. The curry was amazing. The spicy was good but not overly spicy. The black was good and the regular tonkatsu was good.

    BLACK JACK RAMEN
    Richard R.

    Ramen Ya is a small place in comparison to their popularity. What seems to be an old Pizza Hut has been transformed into a casual ramen eatery. The BLACK JACK RAMEN was fantastic! The pork was tender, well seasoned and surprisingly lean. Often you get more fat than meat with Chashu, but here it was the exact opposite. At least that was my experience. Both the broth and boiled egg (Ajitsuke Tamago) were very flavorful and the noodles were somewhat al dente. Best of all, pricing was reasonable and service was excellent. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meal. Well deserving of their current 4.6 star rating!

    Came here on a Friday evening after work. We had a bit of a wait, but it was reasonable. This place is located in what appears to be an old Pizza Hut building. The ramen here was delicious, you can even watch them make it fresh! I got the Black Tonkotsu and some sake, which came packaged in a cup. It was different from what I'm used to when ordering sake, but everything was delicious. I'm most definitely coming back once the weather cools down!

    I've been told to go here for years and I finally listened! This is a very unique experience. I'm references to like 5 to 9 dishes. You're going to get pork or vegetarian basically. No chicken options. This is a nice place to get a spicy traditional style ramen. I did a black garlic dish and no regrets. I must say I prefer more modification options, but love that this place sticks to more tried and true options. You can get away with maybe one large group, but mostly 2 seater options with a couple of bench options. The service was fairly quick.

    Blackjack ramen
    Tola O.

    I waited a while to be seated on a Saturday afternoon and decided on blackjack ramen. I wish thrrr were descriptions of the components of the ramen on the menu bc I had no idea what I was getting. Ramen was tasty but actually much more flavorful the next day after flavors melded with much more intensity! I'd definitely go back but for takeout.

    Jorge I.

    This place used to be so good in their start. I'm not sure but for some reason, I just found the ramen so oily. It was okay. The service is always good and they always have a waitlist.

    Spicy Tonkatsu ramen!
    C R.

    Hot, fresh, delicious and filling. Service is great even whether you're waiting for a seat or throughout your visit. Decor is simple yet elegant and appropriate. Definitely recommend a visit and you will be hooked.

We ordered the beef and pork grill combo, and everything was cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. The quality of the meats was excellent, and the portions were generous. The waiter literally stands there and grill the meat for you and asking in real time if the meat was cook to our liking. For appetizers, we tried the wings, beef bulgogi japchae, and shrimp tempura. All three were on point and made for a great start to the meal. The japchae had great flavor, the wings were crispy and delicious, and the shrimp tempura was light and perfectly fried. The service was friendly and attentive throughout our visit, even though the restaurant was busy. Overall, a very enjoyable dining experience with great food and good service. We'll definitely be back the next time we're at Maryland Live
