Boru Ramen: Reviews & Ratings
Came across Boru during a short trip in BR area after our trip from Japan this place is legit amazing food and atmosphere. Will definitely be coming back!
Boru a fun place to go and eat some good asian food. The staff is super friendly and very knowledgeable of the menu. Boru also has the several claw games to keep you or the kiddos entertained. They also have an ice cream bar.
Attended the March 3rd opening night. The food was very good however the service was absolutely impeccable. The restaurant was packed and even then the hostess was so friendly when walking in and kept up updated during the long wait (completely understandable). The waiters, even though they were very busy, were available to answer any questions and quick to bring food. To end the night, the owner came to our table, spoke to us, and asked how we enjoyed our night. Absolutely wonderful opening.
Very fun place to eat. I went for my birthday. Atmosphere and set up is kid friendly. I got the Rouge red ramen. Super duper good I'll be going back to try other options. Didn't have to wait very long at all for the food. And at the end cute older gentleman that worked there showed me how to put my ramen away in the Togo boxes they have. There's a second compartment for the ramen and toppings to be separate from the broth.
Food was exceptional, Wong Wings were best I've had, Chicken Katsu was delicious, and the Sugoi Fries were FIYA. Service was top tier as usual, never a bad experience when you dine with Boru Ramen.
Just attended the march 3rd opening and i had a blast! First my date and i won some plushies from the claw arcade inside (you can exchange prizes which is really nice!) And then had their fried chicken appitizer with a classic pork ramen entree and the food was amazing! Really tastey and served really quickly. Highly recommend this place!
We love Boru- best ramen in town! Started going when they were off government and decided to try out their new location on Essen. Good vibes and the food is still phenomenal! I got the Rouge Red Chicken Paitan ramen. My husband got the Rouge Red Tonkotsu (pork) ramen. We love spice and both of our dishes were very spicy and so very flavorful! My husband usually also gets the Chicken Karaage as an appetizer which is so good. Highly recommend! We will follow them to any location.
Went to the new location on Essen for the opening night. They did not disappoint! Highly recommend the chicken karaage and sugoi fries as appetizers. I also got the rouge red chicken ramen and it was perfect! Service was phenomenal. I can’t wait to come back.
