Food: Pleasant surprises on your spoon

Ramen Naruto’s star attractions perform admirably – the Vegan Ramen steals the show with rich flavor, the Chicken Katsu Curry impresses with it’s delicious, scrumptiously cooked chicken, and the Spicy Tonkotsu Miso delights with a rich, creamy broth. They offer a generous, satisfying twist on taste and value, however, some patrons find the portions unsatisfactory and question the freshness of some ingredients. Yet, these hiccups don't entirely dim the restaurant's culinary light.

  • Great Taste

    Food exceeded expectations in every way possible, offering rich flavors.

  • Bad Variety

    Menu can be confusing and overwhelming, especially combo sections.

Vibe: Unimpressive scene with no sheen

The vibe swings down a somber note. Decor is said to be lacking, giving a neutral ambiance at best, while the absence of an alcohol menu and limited exterior beauty receives criticism. Mixed views on date night appropriateness and a weak buzz contribute to an underwhelming vibe. With little to rave about, the vibe needs a revamp.

  • Okay Ambiance

    Decently priced food with casual ambiance but decor doesn't wow.

  • Bad For Dates

    Small, weirdly shaped seating, service issues, too busy to enjoy.

Perks: Functional service with correlative perks

On the perks front, easy and ample parking is a big plus, along with the provision of satisfying vegan and vegetarian options. However, the service experience is a lottery. While some find it adequate, noisy surroundings and long waiting times for seats may prove a deterrent for others. The restaurant’s suitability for kids and groups helps to moderate concerns.

  • Easy To Park

    Plentiful, easy, and ample parking repeatedly highlighted as a positive.

  • Okay For Groups

    Accommodating to groups, but space can be limited and waits long.

  • Bad For Pets

    Hot broth might not be safe for pets, depending on behavior.
