Our Guestbook
“ Stopped by since we were in downtown Cary. The ambiance feels pretty close to authentic as Cary can get. I liked the bar seating for solo diners. There's a few tables outdoors and indoors as well. We tried an assortment of ramen and liked all of them. They're not cheap about putting in extras such as a good amount of bean sprouts/etc. The ramen egg was a little overdone on mine, but that might be personal preference. Didn't give 5 star since it's pretty hard to find a 5 star Asian spot in this area. ”
“ This is the best ramen I've ever had in my life. I recommend the black garlic ramen. The service was amazing. We waiting less than 5 minutes for our food to come out. It was very cozy and quiet in the restaurant. ”
“ Even though this space is small, they creatively make it work. I was disappointed that the egg was cold but the food was otherwise decent ”
“ This place makes great ramen. My husband loves their pork ramen. We love how fast and fresh it is every time. I have to have rice noodles and they are always accommodating. ”
“ Simple ramen place, informal,with some outside seating. Don't let the simplicity fool you--this place is a gem in both food quality. Easily see myself as a regular. Seating is tight, a bit awkward layout. but they have a 'bar'. May have started as a take-out place. Pricing is moderate, 12-15 for a bowl of ramen, but generous portions, we got another meal out of it We got an order of gyoza by mistake, but ate it as it was excellent, and they didn't charge for it! Not that y'all get free gyoza every time, but the level of graciousness is over the top Food came timely. My dish as listed as spicy had a great balance of spice and a good portion of ground pork and tofu. They get the "5" even with the tight seating as they put their heart in their food evidently. ”
“ The service is awesome here. Seated promptly. The inside is small enough seating for small groups. Outside seating as well. The food was outstanding. Some of the best I have ever had. I got gyoza and a pork and chicken with black garlic. The gyoza cooked perfect. The pork in the ramen was out of this world. Juicy and delicious, it set this bowl flying with flavor. The chicken was bland. No big deal. I needed a little salt and added some chili oil. For the price and what I got, I would definitely be back! ”
“ Nice little ramen shop. Prices are in line with other local options. Staff was friendly and prompt. Is it my favorite? No, but it'll do in a pinch. ”
“ Came here before my flight out of Raleigh. I was sat at the bar area. It is cute inside, a little small but nice. I ordered the curry ramen. It came out very quickly! I asked for no egg but it still came with egg. It's okay I was easily able to take it out. The flavor of the ramen was delicious and the meat was very tender! I was so full afterwards. A lot of food for about $15. I wish there was more corn. Overall had a very nice experience! ”
“ We have ordered takeout from KOI Ramen at least a dozen times, and they never disappoint. We usually get the Shoyu Paitan with kikurage mushrooms and fried wonton skins. It is stupid good!!! The pork is outstanding! The service is excellent! We love this place! ”
