O Ramen 2114 Central Avenue Southeast, Albuquerque, NM 87106

"The moment I walked into the restaurant I was hit with the most delicious smell. I didn’t stop smiling the whole time we were there! I always look for opportunities to eat gluten free Asian food when I travel and O Ramen was a great find. Nearly everything they serve can be ordered gluten free and is made with as much care and attention to customer experience as non gluten free items. Often when I order at restaurants I feel like a hassle or a nuisance for needing to eat gluten free. Not so here! The server was so kind and friendly, answering all my questions and explaining all my options gladly. I had the Deluxe O Ramen with Pork and gluten free noodles, not spicy. So good! My husband also had the deluxe but with chicken and regular noodles, MAXIMUM SPICY! Both of us were thoroughly pleased with our meals. We had a very tasty sake as well. This will be a place that we visit regularly when we come to Albuquerque!"

"There was a 'pupa' or cocoon like bug in my soup. I got this delivered to my work and it was absolutely disgusting. I've ordered from here before and I have loved that it's cheaper than other places, close to my work and good to eat when it's cold outside. But I was absolutely disgusted. I was at my desk eating this and I had taken a bite of food, and looked down and saw it floating in my food. I spat everything out and threw up. When I called the owner of the restaurant, he tried to blame it on the delivery driver and told me that it was 'just a mushroom.' But the bag was stapled three times. It wasn't the driver, this bug also looks like it was lightly cooked like it was in the food that was being prepared. He also mentioned that because they are down by the university, 'people try to scam us a lot.' I don't think he was understanding the impact of what this did yesterday. I was so grossed out, freaked out and all while at work. Since I was at work, I had asked multiple coworkers about it and they all said the same thing, that it was like a pupa of a worm or caterpillar. I called the health department because this is so disgustingly wrong. It's one thing to buy bugs to eat like at a ball game, but to have one surprise you in your food, it's so so gross. It seems to me like this place must be really so dirty to have that going on in their restaurant. It has completely disturbed me. Do not eat here, seems to me like it is dirty and the owner is unwilling to help, he will say the things I listed above. I would give this place no stars but that isn't possible, and I just thought everyone should know."

"The noodles were my favorite texture! Visiting from Vegas and found this place. Everyone was nice and helpful. Everything was really good for casual chill bite to eat. Literally everything we ordered was delicious! Can’t go wrong. :)"

"This was my first visit to this restaurant. I was in a party of 3 at 530 pm on a Friday. The restaurant was extremely busy! We ordered some sake for the table, an appetizer, and three entrees. I had the chicken curry. I had never had Japanese curry. I thought the sauce for the curry was really flavorful! The appetizer was a ball of flavor that exploded in my mouth. The only issue with the meal was that the appetizer came out with the meal. The appetizer was very hot, well displayed and garnished. I recommend this restaurant and I look forward to visiting again."

"Got the Deluxe Tofu and the Tonkotsu. Both were amazing. We got the level 5 spice and it wasn’t as hot as I thought. If you are used to eating spicy food then you should be fine. The tofu was bartered and fried and the broth was very creamy. Be prepared for some wait times during busy hours."
