If I can give 0 stars I would. Owner was extremely rude and unprofessional. There was miscommunication between owner and waiters about seating. 3 of us had went in first (me, my mom, and my sister) while my brother and dad were parking. We had reserved for 5 on their waitlist, and a waiter had then soon afterward told us that a table was available for us in the corner, and as we got to the table only realized there were only 4 chairs, so not thinking it would be an issue we grabbed another chair from an empty table and just moved it into ours because I had made a reservation for 5. Random guy who wasn't even our waiter (assuming the owner) came up angrily to my brother soon after he sat down, with the worst attitude yelling at him that he shouldn't have moved the chair (even though my brother wasn't even the one that moved it mind you because he wasn't even there yet when the chair was moved by my little sister). We totally would've been fine sitting separately in 2s and 3s, but figuring one of the waiters told us they had a table for us, we thought moving a chair wasn't going to be an issue. So once I was explaining to him what exactly happened, he refused to listen and told us to leave guess because he didn't want to apologize for being wrong for yelling at my brother when he didn't do anything wrong. Sooooo sad because heard food was good. Sucks that the owner/management is terrible though. Won't ever recommend or return unless you like being made a fool for no apparent reason LOL. Mind you I don't usually write reviews, so the fact that I am just goes to show how terrible the experience was.

Fantastic ramen, especially the spicy miso. Appetizers are amazing, including the takoyaki and gyoza

Oh. My. LAWD do we love this place. Super generous portions. Broth that tastes like heaven (I'm partial to the miso). Pork that melts in your mouth. A wide list of extras. Absolutely love it!! 10/10 recommend

This ramen spot offers great food on the Main St. The owner is also very nice and always takes care of his customers.

good taste and staff~I love the spicy soybean sauce ramen ~One problem is that a lot of people always need to wait～

We love Kumamoto. The Shumai is great, the Ramen is perfect and the staff is always professional and informative. Try this place, you will be back.

I'd give it 3.5 stars if I could. This is probably my 4th time having dinner here but my first takeout. I'm always impressed with the authenticity and quality of the ingredients. Rule number one, though, if it's to have a certain ingredient make sure it's noticeable. My Tonkotsu ramen was very flavorful and the pork belly excellent. Did not detect any bean spouts or bamboo shoots. The onigiri was good and I'd get it again. The biggest disappointment was the takoyaki or octopus. First of all, I love octopus so I was so disappointed. The dough was soggy on the outside and the inside. I can forgive the outside because it likely steamed in the carton on my way home but the inside was very soggy AND the octopus was the size of a large pea. The dough was the size of a ping pong ball. This was not acceptable. The red ginger and bonito flakes added a nice touch but didn't make up for the tiny piece of octopus. Will not get that again.

If you are interested in visiting Ramen Kumamoto, now is the perfect time. With COVID-19 restrictions, you can order your meal via kiosk or SnackPass and easily pick it up. Less worrying about parking or seating. They package and label the food perfectly so you can easily put together the meal at home. It is well worth the price and the hassle of navigating through Main Street. My go to is Tan Tan Ramen. It is the perfect amount of spice coupled with minced chicken. No gristle or dry ground chicken texture. 10/10 I didn't know what to expect from the Chicken Bun Sliders, but I enjoyed them. It was a different, much lighter taste. Not overly seasoned with salt, but perfectly paired with lettuce, tomato, cucumber and spicy mayo. For anyone looking for a discount, check the company's Facebook page for 40% deals on SnackPass. It's worth it! I'll be back to try the Takoyaki and Kaarage Chicken! Stay tuned for the update!
Ordered delivery. Gyu Don and spicy ramen were delicious, but the gyoza was not very good. It was ok, but nothing special. Our order came quickly !

Tonkatsu ramen was mediocre. Carry kaktsu was good though. Ramen could have been better. Takoyaki was good.

Always amazing! I love the chicken katsu, pork buns , and tan tan ramen. The people are always very nice and the food always comes fast !

Since Covid has destroyed all restaurant business essentially this year, we've been trying to get takeout occasionally from all our local favorite places. Ramen Kumamoto is FOR SURE number 1 when the weather is cold and rainy and gross. I switch between the Tonkotsu Ramen, Miso Ramen and Shoyu Ramen. Husband always goes for the Spicy due to his spicy love. We make sure to always add on a Mini Karage Curry Rice cause OH MAN is it tasty. Honestly, their entire menu looks delicious and everything we've had has been delicious. I just can't build up the courage to try something besides ramen. It's so good. And when you get it as takeout? ohmygosh. They are the masters of boxing up togo food. The broth is seperate so you can add it yourself. Extras are seperate so you can add however much you'd like. It's just so nice and neat AND UGH I eat way too many noodles because of them now. But it's so worth it.

Stopped in for takeout craving ramen. Indoor seating prohibited during COVID19 so we walked in and ordered using a kiosk. That was a seamless process. We drove down a block and sat on a lovely park bench to enjoy the meal. Reading reviews about ginger I asked them to omit that and asked for thick noodles. I had the mayu ramen with extra mushrooms and bamboo shoots along with the takoyaki. The Takoyaki was very good. It was my first time tasting mayu and the broth is delicious. Very rich, flavorful with a dark hue. I liked it except the pork cha siu was way too strong for me. I'm just not a fan of cha siu as a personal preference. Hubby had the tan tan ramen. He gave it 4.5 stars. I didn't see nori as a topping choice. For me it would have tied the ramen up perfectly. Overall five stars! Super friendly staff. They were generous with the extra toppings like a TON awesome!!! Not the best ramen I've had but pretty darn close. I'll return once the pandemic ends to sit down and really dig in. Try it, pretty sweet spot.
