This is one of the best ramen spots in Boston. Get the Gankara miso ramen and truly enjoy life again.
Jack HApril 21, 2017They're fast, efficient and friendly. You order before you sit down which keeps tables moving, but without feeling pushy. The ramen is first rate and be sure to get the marinated cucumbers to start!
David ZhouOctober 25, 2017I think this could be my favorite ramen in Boston. The shio ramen I had was rich yet subtle and not too salty. The beer selection is also locally sourced and nice, if you like hops.
CarolSeptember 22, 2020The gankara ramen was perfectly spicy and delicious ($14). The restaurant is located in the arcade and has indoor seating during covid. I kept my mask on until the food was served
Sydney TrostJanuary 27, 2019So good! There's almost always a wait, but they're very efficient. They take your order ~10 minutes before they think your table will be ready, so you sit down and the food is there right away.
Maya MukhopadhayaApril 6, 2018Delicious ramen, but no veggie broth options if that’s important for you. Small place so there’s usually a wait.
Jeremy YanFebruary 21, 2018I think it used to be quite flavorful. Now it doesn’t seem to be as good as Santouka, a really low bar. And a Japanese friend told me she was also very disappointed by the popup.

"Get the spicy lamb hp flat noodle! The soupy dumplings are ok but not worth it. The chicken kabobs are also a great choice! Get the Mala beef noodle soup. 4/5"

"I've only had the Pho Ga; it's made in chicken broth. Add nori/seaweed & marinated soft boiled egg. For To Go, they pack the broth separate from the solid items so they don't get mushy. 🍜 😊"
