Boru Ramen

Sweet Society and Boru are moving to Essen Lane but they will be temporary closed until the end of January. Food was great we had a server named Emily and she did wonderful! The ambience was great. One tv had football, another on anime and another on the Asian cooking channel.

The size of the bowls went down dramatically and the pork slices, they became TINY. how long will the restaurants keep on skimping on the portions. They should be held to the same standard as companies selling at stores ( remember shrinkflation)! Crazy how these restaurants are reducing portion sizes and yet charging higher than before prices. Don't even get me started about not paying their staff decent salaries and relying on tips to make the difference. The taste is still good but there needs to be some accountability. Ambiance is fine.

So was on a layover at the bus station. This hidden gem is close and what a treat. I had some fantastic buns for later ( couldn't wait!) one order is 3 buns pork belly and chickenSeating at the bar was perfect and my spicy ramen was just on point with pork belly and egg. Now in Dec they are moving locations see pictures. I know it's not as detailed as my other reviews but trust me these guys got you. Hungry Solved!

The rouge red ramen here is my favorite. I've always gotten the tonkatsu version but when trying a sip of my friend's chicken version, I think I'll opt for that one moving forward. The chicken broth isn't light and less flavorful as I assumed it would be compared to the creamier tonkatsu broth. The black garlic ramen is also nice but is lacking in that flavor so I've had to ask for additional black garlic oil, at an up charge. The texture of the noodles, egg, and flavor of the broth here is always great. It's the best ramen spot I've come across in the state with friends in nola preferring here to the options over there. However, I've been underwhelmed by the blandness and fattiness taste and jelly-like texture of the pork chashu time and time again. If it was braised more for color and that melt in your mouth texture, not to mention slightly salted or something, anything, it would be a lovely component to the ramen. However, often it's not worth eating from my experience.The service is always good- from the owner holding open the door, hosts, and servers checking in and refilling our drinks. One wish is that they would have other nonalcoholic or carbonated beverages such as different hot or iced teas. All in all, this place delivers on broth depth, good chew on the noodles, and the toppings are cohesive in flavor. The food came out quickly so it worked for an office lunch break.

The cucumber salad appetizer is a favorite of mine as wellAs the chicken kaarage. The vegan shoyu ramen is my go to. I love the atmosphere. The seasonal watermelon tastes as delicious as it looks. I usually enjoy a hot sake with my meal here.

Boru was my first experience of having ramen in a restaurant. I make it at home often but had never been to a restaurant to have it cooked by a chef. I was pleasantly surprised by the taste. I enjoyed everything I ordered. Service was great, my waiter was quick and polite. The ambiance is inviting! Restrooms were very clean. I also love that it is connected to Sweet Society so you don't have to walk around to get to it afterwards when you want a little treat after your meal. I can't wait to come back for drinks!

I've been a lot of places and this Ramen spot may be my favorite of all the ones I've had in multiple states and Cities.

I popped in for a quick lunch on Sunday. Not a ton of places open around BR on a Sunday. The Rouge Red Tonkotsu ramen was rich and delicious. The blistered shishitos were seasoned perfectly. I wish they had been a tad more blistered, but they still hit the spot.If you're in Baton Rouge looking for a good meal and like ramen, you must check this place out. I'll be back asap.

Went here last Sunday returning from Tx, best Ramen Ever! Had the Rouge Chicken Ramen! Fabulous!

Left my last review based on how I felt about the meal I had at that time, but have to say they're my favorite ramen place in Baton Rouge. The broth is yummy! And I think the portion sizes are really good. Again, I am a BIG fan of their appetizers (particularly the fries and chicken, sometimes I get both as the meal). Cannot recommend this place enough. Thinking about going back every time I leave haha.
