o-ramen

"Absurdly overpriced and the quality does not match. I would be a regular if only it was reasonable. The prices don't match the online menu either they seem to raise it regularly. Small portions left hungry after spending $30"

"Great service with a friendly staff. We were lucky to get to meet the chef/owner and he spoke about his inspiration on his dishes. We ordered the tonkatsu ramen, spicy miso ramen and chicken karaage. The pickled jalapeno and ginger on the spicy miso was an extra kick."

"They have really good ramen here. Just stick to any of the top 5 items on the menu and you can't go wrong. Not that other items are bad. I just haven't tried them yet. My favorite is tan tan men (pictured, with extra pork chashu) and tonkotsu ramen. You can customize any way you like, with potentially some price changes. I always swap for thin noodles because I think they soak better in the broth than thick ones. They also have the friendliest and most helpful staff here."

"I mean, let's face it, in Pullman if you don't want a burger, or a steak, or pizza, or wings, then you have an extremely limited range of choices for dining. Fortunately there's o-ramen to provide a very refreshing culinary respite, and it is a welcome alternative. Without a doubt the ramen is pretty good and I will not hesitate to have a bowl whenever I'm in town. In the context of Pullman eateries I would give it 5 stars. However we do not live in a bubble, and the world is getting smaller and smaller, no better demonstrated by o-ramen itself and being established by a regional local. And when you pull back and survey the world of ramen you'll see that it is very competitive and the bar is set rather high. Would it rate well in Seattle? How about L.A.? Tokyo? Given this context I'd say that while o-ramen is decent it sits in the middle of the pack. I found the broth over-salty, but that could just be me. I did find it flavorful but I think it lacked any distinctiveness that would set it apart from any other. The karaage was very tender and juicy, but the seasoning was uni-dimensional as I could taste only salt. Same could be said for chasu - cooked very well but very salty. To be clear - I would not hesitate to eat here again, but that's because it's in Pullman. If I had a choice of other ramen places then I'd have to consider carefully."

"Great gem in Pullman. Very authentic. With authentic flavors. Reasonable price but on the weekends can be a bit of a delay. And be ready to pay digitally but they do take regular pay as well. The flavor didn’t took my socks off completely. The tonkotsu didn’t do well for me flavor wise. I will try the veggie next time. I might bring my lemons."
