5 Stars for Nom Nom Noodle! A Must-Visit Ramen SpotFinding a good ramen spot in a city with limited Asian cuisine options can be a challenge, but Nom Nom Noodle exceeds all expectations. Despite the absence of Asian staff, they manage to deliver authentically delicious dishes that would impress even the most discerning ramen aficionados. I had the pleasure of trying their birria ramen along with grilled potstickers, and both dishes were standout choices. The noodles were made and cooked to perfection, offering just the right texture, and the potstickers were delightfully crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside.Being from Houston, a city known for its plethora of ramen and birria joints, I did not set my expectations too high. Yet, Nom Nom Noodle pleasantly surprised me. Their food quality and flavors are on par with some of the best I have experienced back home.The location of Nom Nom Noodle is as unique as its food. Situated alongside a Veterans For War facility, the place is both interesting and immaculate. The cafeteria-style service is efficient and does not detract from the dining experience at all, allowing the focus to remain squarely on their exceptional food.If you are in the area and craving some top-notch ramen, I highly recommend visiting Nom Nom Noodle. It is a gem that proves great food can come from the most unexpected places.This version elaborates on your experience and the quality of the dishes to provide a fuller picture of what makes Nom Nom Noodle noteworthy.

My daughter and I love the ramen. This is her favorite place to go for lunch or early dinner when she gets out of school early. She begs for Nomnom. She get the mild chicken ramen and I get the medium burrito ramen and they are both delicious!! Def recommend!Kid-friendliness: The restaurant is kid friendly but does not have a kids menu. My 10 year old daughter loves it and will eat her whole adult meal.

I have never been here before but was in desperate need of noodles today. I gave them a try and was blown away.They were really friendly, gave me recommendations based on what I was in the mood for. They were excited to have me as a first time customer and told me their broth is made fresh.Now the food portion of the review. Absolutely incredible. I don't give false praise for niceness. I'm a big foodie and cook a lot of my own Asian food at home so I appreciate quality.Everything was amazing. The vegetables, noodles and broth were wonderful. My favorite has to be the par boiled eggs in the Ramen though. There are so many dishes that looked good and I now have to try. They hoped I would come back and I will be. I'm also telling all my friends and co workers what amazing food they have because such good food and service such as they have should be celebrated and shared.So thank you Nom Nom you have a customer who will absolutely be coming back!

I had the birria ramen and the pork belly sticky bun. Both food items were tasty and delicious. I will definitely go back to Nom Nom Noodle whenever I go back to Bloomington.
As a preface, I lived abroad for several years and ate some of the best ramen. Dining at NomNom was so nostalgic. The layers of flavors in my veggie noodles with tofu… wow! The eggs were so delicate and full of flavor. Medium heat was just the right amount of heat but not too much to overpower the flavors. It was a treat from the first bite to the last. We also tried the cucumber slaw which was incredible, crisp and refreshing. I can’t wait to go back!Vegetarian options: The marinated tofu was incredible. The vegetables were cooked perfectly and kept their consistency throughout the meal.

This is wonderful ramen! I completely recommend it. I think they need to have their own place, though. They are in the VFW building, and it is fine because they have good parking and a large space to sit. However, it does not feel like a place to have ramen. The service was great too, very kind and caring.Vegetarian options: Kimchi ramen, veggie ramen, som ban me also.Parking: Easy to accessWheelchair accessibility: They are fully wheelchair accessible

The pork belly ramen was amazing and very filling! I like spicy food too so the chili oil was a great addition
I’ve been a customer since the week they opened. Ramen and specials are always top notch. Staff is friendly and fast each visit. My only wish is that there were later hours as it’s pretty tough to get there before they close or sell out. Stay awesome!
Delicious!
