Ramen Restaurants near Ellicott City, MD

“We have been to Uma Uma 3 or 4 times but we live in Florida so we don’t come nearly as often as we like. Always have fantastic service, delicious food and a pleasant atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“This place is a cozy gem. Good prices, service and less crowded than akira. Felt more private. To talk about the food..I had the Beef ramen with veggie broth and really enjoyed it. Also the lamb and chicken kabobs were SUPER well seasoned, juicy and fresh. We never wait too long for service or even to be served. The staff is pretty nice, havent ever had an issue with them; during peak hours they do tend to get a bit visibly stressed out but its understandable since its a small buisness . I'll add food pictures the next time I come by. The decorations give the resturant a cute/ welcoming charm..it has colored lights on the ceiling along with funko pops around.

side note: thank you for turning the music on, it was a bit too quiet beforehand and helped to relax a bit more!“

“Food is awesome. Taste great bought a good flavor. I would recommend this.“

“I'm so serious when I say this place has the BEST tapioca out of every shop I've ever been to. It is so wonderfully sweet and chewy, and now I lowkey get a little disappointed eating tapioca from other places because it is not as good 😭 My favorite item is their taro brown sugar boba, which has real pieces of taro in a nice paste? Cream? Whatever the case it is very delicious and unique, and all of their drinks are made with real milk unless you ask otherwise, which I love! Most places do not have options with real milk, which is a real gripe of mine as I do not like watery milk tea. All of the drinks are priced reasonably, especiallly considering that they use real milk which restaurants usually upcharge for 😿
As for food, the ramen here is also my favorite out of every shop I've been to. It's easily some of the best I've had in this area. The pork is incredibly tender and flavorful, not flavorless and tough like some other places, and the broth is also delicious. For me it is very comparable to Ramenya which is another popular ramen shop in this area. The prices are reasonable, the portions are generous, and the convenience for such fresh food can't be beat 😸 The sushi burritos and poke are also delicious, but the spicy pork ramen is still my favorite! I always recommend this place to anyone I meet, and I always HAVE to get a boba for me and my mom whenever I visit the mall🧡!“

“I had my very first ramen experience here and it was absolutely amazing. The broth was rich and full of flavor, the noodles were perfectly cooked, and every ingredient tasted fresh and well balanced. It was the kind of meal that makes you slow down and enjoy every bite.

The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. For a first ramen experience, I could not have chosen a better place. I will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended“
