Rokaru Ramen

Absolutely delicious ramen place in Blue Ash. The place itself is super cute, clean, and modern. It has a nice skylight at the front of the building that lets in a ton of natural light. The tables and chairs are pretty and look nicely constructed. There's an awesome large mural that takes up the entire back wall.My colleague and I were greeted upon entering and sat at a table. It was about 2 pm and there was no one else there. I feel like the woman who helped us was the owner. She was super kind and answered all of my questions about menu items. I was torn between unagi don and their terrapanteriyaki which I believe is newer on the menu. She suggested the teriyaki dish, which I got. It was just steamed rice, carrots, broccoli, scallions, meat, and either brown sauce or teriyaki sauce. I got it with steak and no carrots. When I tell you this was the most tender cubed steak I've had in a while! I was super surprised because usually small pieces of steak tend to be over cooked. This was not! It was perfectly seared and moist inside. The veggies were nicely grilled and the whole dish was hot. It came out quickly. I did end up asking for an extra side of teriyaki sauce to add to my rice since there wasn't much once I got to the bottom. The extra sauce was perfect. I was pretty full but couldn't stop eating this delicious meal. I also got a hot green tea which tasted good delicious. My friend did a build your own ramen bowl. She raved about the broth so I gave it a try. Very flavorful and creamy, which felt unlike most ramen broths that are thin and watery. The flavors inside this one were phenomenal. I'm not usually a big fan of ramen (I prefer Pho) but I would definitely return for that broth. Rokaru Ramen is absolutely delicious, quaint, and beautiful.

5 stars for the Tonkotsu alone!! I add black garlic oil & the spice level 1 (on the side) & it's my favorite ramen spot in the Cincy area so far. I've only had it twice but I think it's really fantastic. I love their Menma (bamboo shoots) & also get extra. It's worth the 20 minute drive. The ramen is also always out quick. Staff is attentive & there when you need anything. Check out Rokaru!

Solid ramen place in the Cincy suburbs. We visited in the midst of Thanksgiving week gluttony, and the veggie ramen was the perfect way to break up heavy meals. I added some spice and it was the perfect amount of heat. Nice interior and attentive, friendly service from Jenny. If you're in the area, it's worth a stop!

Yum! My daughter and I liked the Ramen we ordered on our recent visit. I'm glad that I tried this place again! I really enjoyed it this time. I spent more time making sure I got the spice and flavors right this time around. The service was really good too. And the ramen came on a robot! How cute!

We had lunch on a Wednesday. The atmosphere was lovely, except the seats are wood and very hard. The service was efficient but benign. It just wasn't our favorite ramen place. The broth served with the Tonkotsu was very thick, almost too creamy. The pork had a different flavor that we didn't care for. The eggs were yummy as were the noodles.

I raved about this local ramen stop after our first stop -- but a service mistake and an incorrect order (not vegetarian) make us hesitant to go back. For my first visit, five of us dined in. Everyone loved their ramen. The veggie gyoza was a highlight -- so flavorful and crispy. The waitress was helpful when it came to creating a Build Your Own Ramen bowl that was vegetarian. So delicious! Unfortunately, our takeout order a few weeks later was not so good. The cashier had our food ready, but said she'd accidentally charged a previous customer for our order. She was confused on what to do. My husband suggested he pay in cash for the cost of our food, then she can sort out a refund to the other customer later. Simple, right? Not to her. She was so overwhelmed by confusion that she left my husband (and our food) waiting at the register for more than 15 minutes. Once home, I noticed my "vegetarian ramen" didn't look the same as last time -- and the stomach problems that followed for two days tell me they gave me a meat-based broth (or similar non-vegetarian mistake).

Found a pretty authentic ramen place in Blue Ash. I love the decor and items in the restaurant that brings back memories of being in Japan from the vending machine to the Japanese condiments on the table. The service was prompt and my food was delivered via a robot. I ordered the tonkatsu ramen with a side of spring rolls. The ramen noodles were a little overcooked but the broth was delicious. Springs rolls were a great side item. Highly recommend and will definitely be back to try the other items on the menu.

Absolutely wonderful ramen, appetizers, and drinks. The food came quickly and the place had trivia which was nice. The place was also nicely modern.

My daughters and I dropped in to order make our own ramen and boba drinks. We were incredibly impressed with our to-go order, from prompt and kind service to the packaging and taste. We cannot wait to go back and eat inside the restaurant. My daughters saw the serving robot and loved the ramen and boba artwork on the wall. As a mom, I was impressed with the cleanliness of the restaurant. I'll be sure to bring some quarters for them to get trinkets/ toys in the machines as well. Thank you for the wonderful experience, Rokaru Ramen!

Visiting from out of town and needed something that was not too heavy for dinner and decided to come here for a quick bite. It was definitely a great choice. It's no frills and easy to order. Ended up having the karaage chicken as an appetizer and the new soba dry noodles as my main. Definitely satisfied my cravings! Plus the presentation of food was top notch.
