Great ramen and a good selection of options. I really enjoyed the black shio ramen and gyoza.

Came here around 5pm on a weekday and service was incredibly fast. I ordered the vegan matcha ramen which is made with a matcha soy milk broth. The matcha flavor was quite light. The main overpowering flavor was the soy milk. The vegan meat included was really good -- slightly sweet and savory-- and the noodles were a good portion. I only wish there had been more soup. I will come again in the future.

Absolutely amazing!! Loved the black ramen! Only constructive criticism is that the server could have been friendlier ( or at least tried to be somewhat friendly)

This is the best ramen I've ever had!!!! I loved the black miso ramen and spicy shio ramen and the pork and rice was delicious. The spicy cucumbers is absolutely delicious

I have been here a couple of times already and this definitely is one of my favorite ramen shops in the city. The flavors have a good mix between traditional and unique taste. The Red Devil is definitely a thrill for spice lovers, while the Black Shoyu is subtly infused with a smokey flavor. Their appetizers are also delicious, especially the chicken karagee.

Waited about 15 minutes on a Wednesday night. Small ramen restaurant in Central square—Ramen was fresh and broth was quite good. Black shio and sig miso are both great menu items. Would come again, though not with a large group of friends due to limited seating. Service was okay (a bit on the slower side).

Nice place to eat for a quick bite. Karaage (fried chicken 5 pieces), Pork Chashu Don, and Shoyu ramen. The food was okay...actually I had a craving for ramen these days, and I had my fill with today's order. It felt like drinking an entire bowl of grease.Ambience 3.5Food 3.5Service 3.5Value 3.5AFSV average 3.5 across the board!

came here for lunch on a workday after being intrigued by their menu. I really enjoyed the food! I got the black miso ramen and pork gyoza. The pork gyoza was good, it came out on a sizzling platter and they poured some tonkotsu stock on top. I liked this presentation and the gyoza soaked up the tonkotsu flavour. I did like the tonkotsu and gyoza flavour together (confused about another reviewer who said they couldn't taste it?), though the crispiness of the gyoza is lost in the process. However, i think this is the best way to execute this idea - if the gyoza were prepared by any other softer method, the skin would just be too soggy. Another note is that the gyoza are served with a really nice vinegary soy sauce, but it was hard to taste it in combination with the tonkotsu flavour. possibly having the dipping sauce be more viscous, like a glaze, would help distinguish the flavours better.As for the black miso ramen, i really enjoyed it. The tonkotsu broth had a good level of funkiness, authenticity, and depth. it was a perfect amount of saltiness for myself as well, such that i could enjoy drinking the broth by itself. the charcoal aromatic oil was interesting too, adding an interesting earthiness, and also it kind of left a lingering tannin/prickly-like sensation on my tongue. The thicker, bouncy noodles served as a well picked accompaniment to the broth. And the toppings were all wonderful! The chashu was lean and thickly cut - it tasted tender and like it had a nice brining because the flavour was great throughout. I adored the corn fritter so much - it added a great texture when crisp, and tasted soooo good when soaking in the tonkotsu. the blanched bean sprouts and ground meat also worked with the dish.finally, i was greeted and served by a stoic and silent but attentive man. He didn't say much but still knew when to bring my check and when i was ready to order at the exact right time. I really enjoyed this different style of service.overall, i really enjoyed the creativity in the food, and it was cheaper for ramen shops as well. I will definitely be coming back for more - i want to try the matcha vegetarian option (it is cool that they have two veggie options!!! never seen a ramen shop have that many options) and some of the "japas" too.
I love the presentation of the ramen! ?The corn fritter, a piece of lotus root and even some flavor foam on the top, give the ramen a great enhancement. Signature miso ramen and shoyu ramen were good. Red spicy shio and black shio were very good. And the yuzu cold noodle was the best! It was not on the menu. I think it was seasonal special. When we ordered it, the waiter said it’s last bowl. The yuzu flavor was so refreshing. Nothing better than a cold noodle in the hot summer day! Oh I love they put both roast pork (thin cut) and pork belly (thick) on the ramen. Roast pork was so tender even it’s not fatty

Came by for a new lunch spot. Nice service. QR Code Menu. Ordered the Spicy Miso Ramen: The corn fritter was something new I haven't had in any other ramen. I think I am more used to seeing sweet corn or roasted corn but this was actually very good. Maybe slightly too many beansprouts in my bowl as I almost had more beansprouts than noodles. Bill came out to be around $20 with everything included. Solid bowl of ramen.

Their ramen was okay, great broth but their thick noodles wasn't to our liking.Garlic fried rice with egg was good, fair portion for a fair price.Quick service by the staff!

The ramen was really good, and the service was good and fast. I took my family, and even though they are not too fond of ramen, they really enjoyed their selections. We are planning on eating there again soon.

I enjoyed lunch at Muku very much. We got here on a cold Sunday afternoon so it was easy to find parking. Two blocks down but the walk was nice.we were sat down in the bar quickly without wait time. They had a good selection of ramen with spices as well. I want to try the spiciest ramen next time! I got the Black Shio with fried oysters for apps and a matcha ice tea.The fried oysters were fresh and light. The tartare sauce was where it was at. My boo and I were saying we would need 10 more.I got the Black Shio and boo thang had gotten the Red Shio. Black Shio was rich in flavor but feels and tastes so clean. Even though the black garlic oil that stained my lips from all the slurp action. It came off when I finally wiped my lips.It was totally worth being dirty for.The egg was cooked and marinated perfectly. Yolky but not runny. Red Shio was such a pretty bowl. I liked the fried lotus on too. It was like a potato chip packed with flavor. I took the entire thing away from my boo, maybe next time we’ll ask for extra. Slurpy ramen Sundays should be a thing.The Matcha tea was great! It was fragrant and not powdery or overly sweetened. It was light but flavorful. It went so well with the ramen. Next time I’m ordering 2!The host and the waiter attentive and was very quick and swift. I love being able to get in and out but still feel like I enjoyed a meal without being rushed. It was a great start to our day. And we’ll definitely be back!
