Food is incredible. Ramen is delish, Korean fried chicken is even better. Restaurant has a nice cozy feel and great ambiance over all. Service is efficient and the staff is kind. Definitely a hidden gem. Probably my favorite ramen spot in the Charlotte area! read more

My partner and I discovered this place online. We must have passed the shopping center a few times and never knew an amazing ramen shop was located there. It's nestled in a small shopping center and right across from a movie theatre. It would be a great date night place. We have been a few times, today my partner ordered the spicy miso ramen, she loved the miso broth but the spice was too much for her and covered up the taste. I tried the curry vegetarian ramen, it was delicious and had a bit of a spice to it- highly recommend. read more

Roppongi Ramen Bar - Casual vibe at the front counter. - Ramen Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I have been going here ever since me and my boyfriend went for our first time 3 years ago. The ambiance is chill, ramen is amazing. Chicken is amazing. Gyoza- amazing. The owner gets crap from customers because she hardly knows English, but knowing her for some time she is so sweet and attentive. Overall, I have always had an amazing experience at Roppongi and plan on going next week for my bday! read more

Stopped by this cute spot off of the recommendation from a friend and I really enjoyed it! It is a small ramen spot with really cool wall art and anime prints on their tables. I got their fried chicken which was okay; it came out fresh, hot and crispy but it didn't really have any seasoning so it was bland to me. But the ramen?! 8/10! Sooo good , right amount of saltiness and perfectly cooked eggs. It was really flavorful and filling ! read more

Hidden in a small strip mall in the shadow of a movie theater, this place is a hidden gem with some of the best ramen I have ever tasted. The dining area was small and packed on a Friday evening and you compete with movie goers for parking but the service was fast and efficient. The menu features beer and sake, a wide array of ramen options and Korean fried chicken dishes including dakgangjung. I opted for spicy miso ramen and my husband ordered the small dakgangjung with fried sweet potatoes. They were both excellent. We really enjoyed our meal. read more

Always love getting a quick bite here, service is pretty fast and options are great! The Korean fried chicken is amazing, we always get it mild. The fried sweet potato that comes on the side is also good! read more

Absolutely loved this place and the owners are awesome as well. Roppongi feels like you are eating over at a friend's place with how welcoming the owners are. Their food is amazing as well, I was very happy with my choices. Apparently the broth is fermented for over a year and contains nearly 16 different ingredients as well. My girlfriend and I are avid ramen enthusiasts, and we loved the broth! The prices are reasonable as well, considering the quality of the food. Will 100% be coming back for more! read more

Plenty of parking near Cinemark and a wonderful Japanese-inspired ambiance inside with beautiful wood elements. We were greeted with a cheerful "Irasshaimase!" (Welcome!) and immediately felt at home in the cozy, welcoming atmosphere. The staff was friendly throughout our meal. Shio Tsukemen: 5/5 Dipping the perfectly springy noodles into the shio broth was a delight! The broth was light yet savory, a fantastic choice for fall. The pork was charred to perfection. Melt-in-your-mouth good! The marinated egg had a rich, creamy yolk, and the bamboo shoots and seaweed complemented the dish so so beautifully. Miso Ramen: 5/5 The silky-smooth miso broth was packed with flavor. Just like the tsukemen, the pork, egg, and noodles were spot on. This is the ultimate comfort food for the cold weather. Can't wait to try their Korean fried chicken next time! read more

I used Uber Eats for lunch to try this spot out. I've driven past it several times over the years. I ordered a small fried chicken, Korean radish, and shrimp gyoza dumplings. I had plenty leftovers for dinner. The food was hot when I received it. I need to dine in to rate their service and try other menu items. read more

Food: very home made, not a lot of broth selections, they are all fish-based or vegetarian. No Tonkotsu (pork based broth). I do not eat fish, therefore I didn't enjoy the ramen. My daughter ordered and rated it "good" but not amazing. The gyoza was pretty good and the bun was ok, the meat was burnt. Service: very quick, it is a very small restaurant so it moves fast. Nice servers, very attentive. Ambiance: very small, cozy restaurant. It is located on a strip mall right next to the movie theater. Prices were decent, too bad I couldn't personally enjoy a ramen here. read more

The food is super good and reasonably priced! The owner is a nice guy too. It's a weekly takeout restaurant for us.

This was a decent spot for ramen but for someone who has been to 50 countries in their lifetime, including Japan, it's lacking in authenticity. I've even gone and had Ramen in New York City in recent months which actually spawned my need to go after Ramen in North Carolina where I live. It was just okay in comparison. I don't say don't go, just go with the expectation as described. read more

I've been missing Japanese food and flavors since I got back from my first trip to Japan in February. A few people recommended this for the authenticity. The flavors are spot on, but I generally shy away from Ramen because I can't finish a proper portion and feel bad leaving so much behind. This place is really cool, the flavors are great, I appreciate the atmosphere and the music selection is just my speed. This will be the ramen spot I recommend going forward. read more

It's my favorite ramen place. Close to my house and plenty of parking, which is always a plus for me. This location is a bit small with a few tables, so if you want to eat in during their lunch or dinner rush, you may be out of luck dining in. Their Shio ramen is definitely my favorite. Chicken broth egg, corn, noodles, sprouts all very tasteful and definitely satisfies my ramen craving. I also tried their soy garlic mild wings. Very delicious. Great crunch. It comes out hot straight from the oven, and it had a little heat kick but definitely elevated the flavor for sure! Overall, it is definitely a great ramen spot and will be coming back. read more

Best ramen in Charlotte! The miso broth you can't stop drinking. The pork slices are smokey. My go to place!

I walked in to a group of 14ish people having dinner together. The waitress/owner came over to me right away and offered to let me order so that I didn't have to wait for all of their food to get done. I ordered the spicy miso ramen. Heat was 1/5 maybe 2/5. Top notch flavor of broth and the chasu was super tender. read more

Came over to the Cinemark over here by chance and stopped into this place..WOW it was fantastic! Having traveled Japan for 2 weeks this year I've been craving a ramen similar and as delicious as you would find over there, and this place hits the spot. I got the Spicy Curry Ramen and my partner got the Normal Miso Ramen. Both of the broths were very rich and packed with flavor. The noodles, and the rest of the ingredients, were perfect. I will definitely make the trip from South End just to come back to this spot. read more

As a person who hates soup this place converted me. Amazing ramen and chicken, fast and friendly staff. The location is small but never seems overcrowded. A bunch of anime pics on the wall and when I was there they had video game theme music. A must try. read more

A hole-in-the-wall spot in Charlotte, Roppongi serves great ramen, but the chicken wings are the real stand out. The owner was also very personable with the patrons (playing with one of the kids at a nearby table). Overall it was cozy and delicious. I'll be heading there after any movie at the nearby Cinemark read more

I have been wanting to try this place for a while. I went in on a Sunday around noon. After I put in a to-go order the place went from no one in there to jammed pack. The place is not big to begin with, but several families filled in within 15 minutes of waiting for my food. The lady who took my order was extremely nice and helpful with all my questions about what I should get. The sweet and spicy chicken was amazing. The chicken was juicy and the wings had a ton of meat on them. The small order of 7 wing lasted me 2 meals. I also got a side of fried sweet potato that was perfectly fried and a great side to balance the saucy chicken. I have definitely add this to my list of places to go, and I hope to try the ramen next time. read more

Roppongi Ramen Bar - Sweet and Spicy Garlic Fried Chicken - Ramen Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

First time here it was actually a day the strip mall had no water. So no bathrooms... for the day. The miso however was delicious. I'd say a bit on the hotter side of mild for a spicy ramen... I'm not very as strong as many of my friends when it comes to spicy food although I still order and love it. This one is a favorite for sure, I came back another day and brought friends they had noodle and also their spiciest chicken wing which was a huge success. I ordered a different noodle and it was the option to dump the noodle to the broth. Honestly the best one was the spicy noodle - I recommend. Sofia stamp of approval read more

This is a "hole-in-the-wall" kind of a place, and the ambiance is a bit bleak...BUT, I remember the foods being very good, so I had to return. This time, I wanted to try something new. I don't think I've ever tried Dipping Ramen, but here's my take on it. To me, Dipping Ramen struck me as basically a reverse version of regular Ramen...where you dip the cold noodles and all the ingredients into the bowl of hot broth. Maybe I just don't get, but I didn't quite see the point lol. The ramen cooled really fast (since you're dipping the cold noodles into the broth)...and it's a bit difficult to eat it this way. So I now realized that I'm not a fan of this Dipping Ramen. I wish I ordered their normal ramen...because I recall theirs being very good last time. I also ordered the Korean Fried Chicken in Spicy Soy Garlic flavor. Unlike last time, the Chicken felt less thicker, and tasted much milder (not spicy at all...just less flavor all around). I remember their Fried Chicken tasting GREAT last time, but this time it was just barely good. Still, I appreciated how I got loaded with plenty of legs (4 total?). I will say that the cooking time for this is quite long...so be warned. Unlike last time, they did not offer complimentary radish (??)...so I asked for Kimchi on the side, and it was totally legit. However, I thought it odd that they charged you for Kimchi when it's complimentary in most Korean restaurants. Still, the overall pricing of Ramens and Chickens were fair. Overall, I think the foods here are quite good. Unfortunately, I didn't love the Dipping Ramen...and I wished the Fried Chicken was a bit more flavored (like last time?). Maybe it was just an off day...or the new norm since Covid?? So this wasn't a winning visit, but I was a fan of their normal ramen, so I'll probably return for more...and hopefully I can bump back up the ratings. read more

Every time I visit Roppongi the food is amazingly consistent, fresh and hot. The music is always relaxing and quirky and everything is super clean. The service is really quick and wait staff is always friendly. I live in Huntersville and drive all the way out here to eat for lunch when I have extra time. I will pick Roppongi over most other ramen places in Charlotte! read more

Roppongi Ramen Bar - Spicy Miso Ramen, Fried Sweet Potato - Ramen Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

The best spicy miso ramen I've had in Charlotte! While there a few ramen spots throughout Charlotte now I still haven't been able to find my NYC quality ramen anywhere. That is until I came to Roppongi! I feel like you know a place is going to be good when they have a small menu. I wish they had a tonkotsu ramen too but the spicy miso was perfect. The broth was perfectly balanced and delicious. Toppings were all authentic, none of that weird fusion stuff I see in other places. The jammy eggs were cooked perfectly and paired well with the ramen noodles which had the perfect chewy texture. The pork was also perfect- not too fatty but not too meaty. I loved it! We also ordered the wings which were delicious! Only thing is that they came after our ramen order, I feel like wings are more of an appetizer before ramen so I wish they had prepared them earlier. But you can easily tell that these were freshly made which is why it took a little longer. I enjoyed the sweet potato tempura that came with them too! read more

Omg the ramen was so good! The front desk team was so sweet getting me a spot on a busy Saturday night. They had gluten free noodles which met my new dietary requirements but also hit the spot with my ramen/noddle desire! Wow! Will go back! read more

Found this gem in passing in between my errands in the area, and boy, I'm so glad I did! Located in a small shopping center with a movie theater. It's a quaint, family owned establishment. The lady in the front was so sweet and welcoming. Parking was also fairly easy. We were seated immediately, and ordered. I got the spicy miso ramen, my bf got the regular miso ramen and a mild, small order of the garlic soy chicken wings. The spicy miso ramen was Devine, and the broth was very savory. A bit Spicy but not overwhelming. The most authentic ramen I've had in Charlotte. Ended up taking the chicken wings to go since I was pressed for time, but man, they were so good! Light and crispy, and tender inside. I'm drooling just thinking about it, lol I haven't had much Korean fried chicken in Charlotte but I can say these are the best I've had here! This will probably be my go to if I'm in the area, but I'll definitely make excuses to be in the area now. The chicken wings are even good reheated in the oven! I definitely be back sooner rather than later. read more

Nice simple menu with delicious ramen. The wings are great too, large and very well seasoned. Very friendly staff aswell.

We ordered the Shio Ramen and Shio Tsukemen, and both dishes were delicious. The tsukemen, or dipping ramen, was my favorite. The broth was incredibly rich and flavorful. This small restaurant located off a strip mall is a hidden gem that offers really good ramen. read more

In Matthews for a lacrosse tournament, went here fresh off the road. Great find in a little out parcel by the Cinemark theatre. Menu is a little limited, and their big variety seems to be in the Korean Fried Chicken. I had the Shiso Ramen, my son had the Miso broth. Both disappeared. Quality of the noodles was good - good spring/texture, filling. Char siu pork was nice quality. Served immediately at perfect temp. We also had the "small" order of the sweet chili KFC boneless. These came PIPING hot, and plenty of spice heat. Quite large portion, and with 3 wonderful tempura sweet potato pieces. We are eating the chicken leftovers now. Quite good on day 2. Service was efficient, friendly, ambience simple and fun. read more

Easily the best ramen restaurant in Charlotte if you want authentic Japanese Shoyu or Miso Ramen.
