It may be my personal perception, but I had high expectations for this place. I was expecting delicious ramen. Unfortunately, we found two different types of miso, where it was obvious they hadn't marinated the chicken. This one had no flavor. The broth seemed like greasy water and as if it had been cooked with powdered ginger. I would have liked more flavor.

You want the ramen with fried chicken. In fact, use the option to add extra chicken.

If you're not feeling ramen, the bao buns are also excellent.

Came here for a dinner on a week day. Waited 25 mins for a chicken ramen. Makes you wonder how long it she’s to put pre-made noodles and broth in the bowl. But it was worth it - delicious. Would be great to have regular chicken (not fried). The cashier / waiter was the sweetest!

Love this place. But they always turn the online ordering off. Doesn’t matter what time of day lunch or dinner every time I go to order from them the online ordering is off! So annoying. I end up ordering elsewhere for lunch a lot because of this

I LOVED the vibe of this place. Very cute set up. The service was quick. We got an appetizer and ramen and got everything within about 6 minutes. The broth was good and flavorful.

I definitely love this place. The Japanese fried chicken and the marinated cucumbers are my favorite dishes and very delicious.

Pleasantly Surprised!!!

I first ordered takeout and was honestly shocked at how good it was. That alone convinced me to come in and try it fresh—and it was just as impressive.

Being from California and Las Vegas, I’ve had my fair share of excellent ramen, and somehow this spot rivals (or even tops) many of them.

The broth is clean, not overly salty or heavy, but still packed with deep, rich flavor. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients—the toppings are fresh and thoughtfully prepared.

The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the menu is perfectly sized: focused, not overwhelming. They’ve struck a great balance between variety and specialization.

Overall, a standout ramen experience I didn’t expect to find in Arkansas. Highly recommended. They also have gluten free noodles!

After a recent trip to Japan, I have been on the hunt for a ramen that matches the quality I found abroad. We don't have a lot of options around here, and I tried a lot of places. My favorite by far has been here at the CO-OP.

Let me be fair, I have one favorite that I have not strayed from more than once. The Tonkatsu Ramen with Deep Rich Broth has become my go to dish. I think I've had it about once a week for nearly 6 months. It is SO GOOD. The broth - consistently solid and full of flavor. The pork - always melts in your mouth and has the most wonderful maple flavor. The noodles - thin and perfectly cooked. The portion - perfect. Everything about this bowl of ramen hits the spot like it was designed for me personally. I could have it to eat every single day and never get sick of it. I love this ramen. I. LOVE. IT. Now I'm hungry and want to have it for lunch ugh.

Haven't had much else on the menu and am not really interested in exploring. 10/10 get this bowl of ramen specifically if you want to be impressed!

Ordered the tonkotsu ramen. It was okay. The broth was lacking in richness and flavor. They forgot to add in the black mushrooms and I have no idea what kind of noodle it came with, but it was not a ramen noodle. I guess you have to special request ramen noodles for your ramen? You are asked for a tip before ever being served. 20% must not beckon good service. The servers brought out appetizers and never brought plates or silverware. When they delivered our ramen they forgot silverware & spoons. I had to go ask for those. They also did not bring me the receipt that I requested to be printed. I personally won't go back.

Chicken is great but noodles and broth are disappointing for the price. You go here cause Ramenara is closed on Sundays

Love this spot. Their fried chicken ramen is delicious. And their buns. And it’s good for kids and the people who work there are so patient and seem like just really good people and make for a nice time. Highly recommend.

Tells cops they have to leave their duty weapon in the car or don't eat there.
