One of the best ramen places in the area. I have been here time and time again, and I am never disappointed. I love a classic miso ramen, and this one definitely serves the craving. The appetizers here are fire. We love getting Karaage, fried squid, and kimchi fries. All so delicious. The gyu don always has a lot of meat. The katsudon is good. The katsu curry was yummy with a darker curry base. It is a little on the runnier side, I wish it was thicker. It's not Golden Curry, better than that, so I give a thumbs up. I love that you can get boba with it too! Make sure to take a picture with the Polaroid and place your picture on the wall! It's a super cute small place, very unique and special. It gets busy, so a reservation is best, especially if you have a larger group. Service was good! Food comes out fairly fast.Overall, make sure to check this place out!!

Hi friends! Long overdue review for me; I've eaten here at least 5 times over the years and so i owe them their flowers. What's good: plenty of parking as it's in a strip mall, a wide variety of options on the menu so if you like choices you have plenty! The dine IN experience is good the food is amazing and portion size is appropriate. It's a small space inside, but if you've spent time in Japan it's accurate and makes the experience more authentic. I even like the homey decor highlighting the patrons with Polaroids of people enjoying their dinner all over the foyer area. I even like the bathroom decor of superheroes in ways you wouldn't typically see them (iykyk).What prompted this review is the take out experience. I felt like the take out portion wasn't the same quantity as the dine in experience by a noticeable degree. So if you plan on eating there- eat in! Everything was still very good as it always has been, which is why i wanted more than i got . Regardless I will def be back and enjoying what they have to offer!

'Twas the night before Thanksgiving and Ramen was on the menu! There was quite a bit of a wait, which told me that the food would be worth it! It took a little time to receive service after sitting, but the place was busy. This gave us a chance to study the menu options and look at some of the pictures on the wall. I love a place that celebrates their customers, and using Polaroids to capture the moment is such a cool idea. We definitely added to the collection! The tables were pretty close together so private conversations probably wouldn't work but it's great for socializing! The food came out in a decent amount of time. We had the veggie ramen, chicken teriyaki and egg rolls. All were tasty, by my veggie ramen could've used more flavor. Overall it was a great experience!

As I was craving ramen on a Wednesday evening, I decided to venture out and try Kappo Nara Ramen since I saw nothing but great reviews about this place. I was seated right away and given a menu...after a few minutes, I knew exactly what I wanted to order lol. Janelle, my amazing server, assisted me in choosing a green tea so I decided on the Mango Green Tea, which was refreshing and thankfully not too sweet. For starters, I decided on the Rice Balls which were filled with cooked salmon, covered with rice, wrapped in seaweed and formed in a triangular shape! The Rice Ball was very filling and since I wanted to enjoy my ramen, I only ate one. I chose the Spicy Miso Ramen which had a miso base with pork broth and chili oil. It included boiled eggs, bean sprouts, bamboo, spicy ground pork, scallions and seaweed. I added a slice of pork belly as well! Absolutely delicious! 10/10!!! The ramen noodles were cooked perfectly and the soup broth was savory and rich with flavor. The bamboo added some texture and a slight sweetness and the pork belly slice was the perfect addition. I literally ate the entire bowl!!! I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Kappo Nara Ramen and absolutely loved the vibe this restaurant gave. From the soft R&B music playing in the background to being able to view all of the Polaroids lined up on the walls of previous customers enjoying their ramen, I will definitely be returning. My server, Janelle, was also amazing and I loved that we had a chance to chat, she was super sweet. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for amazing ramen and good vibes.

Went for dinner and was seated right away. The dining area was full for the dinner crowd. The staff was friendly to every customer and checked in with us often. The spicy miso ramen is my favorite!

Hands down best ramen in the area. I always get spicy miso. The gyoza is excellent also, along with the boba.

Ummm ramen !! This place is one of my top choices for dinning out. Everything is just delicious !! Even though I only come for the ramen :)The place is nice and it is conveniently located right next to a bubba tea place. The space is nicely decorated and would look at home if we were in Japan. The walls are covered with Polaroids of happy customers capturing their visit and the great time and great food they had during their visit. Chicken karage is good, ramen is delicious and gyoza is a favorite as well. Totally recommend to anyone to visit and we will continue coming here often.

The food was good but the establishment needs cleaning. The bathroom was dirty. I get the photos on the wall but it is a big cluttered mess.Service was fine.
