One star off cuz the portions were too small even for a tiny person like me. My bf and I finished the meal in 20 minutes. Appreciate the fast service tho and the option to just directly order and pay through QR code. Go early because they ran out of the main soy sauce ramen at 7 PM on a Sunday. Lines aren't too long. You can put yourself on the Yelp waitlist. I don't recommend the vege miso ramen because the broth is not as good. Inside is just corn, one piece of bokchoy, corn, some small pieces of meat. The soy sauce Paitan broth was good and rich. The meatballs were good as well to my bf who usually doesn't like meatballs.

I had a great experience when dining here. I was greeted and brought to the table. There is a QR code on the table so that everyone can order on their own with their own credit cards or you can all order at once on your phone. If you are sensitive to spiciness, make sure you put the oil and chili on the side so you can control how spicy you want your meal. If you want to order an item for to-go, make sure you let someone know so that they don't accidentally plate it. They were so nice and attentive when water was low and when we accidentally dropped our chopsticks haha. Thank you for your great service Mojo Ramen team.

Before visiting Nojo, I had only tried Ramen a couple of times and didn't love it. I ordered the Soy Sauce Chicken Ramen and it was SO good! (they were out of chicken leg pieces and offered chicken meatballs instead, which were great). The broth tasted so delicious (I added some of the "spice bomb" to the bomb - definitely get that on the side if you like your food spicy) and i would totally come back and order the exact same dish. The house Sake was very good as well and tasted a little bit of the fruit chickoo. Apart from that the service was quick, portions were large, indoor dining was comfortable.

I was pleasantly surprised by this ramen restaurant because normally I like pork based broth and this restaurant has chicken based broth. In the signature ramen, the broth was flavorful and rich and the chicken meat was tender and juicy and huge too! Highly recommend! Add their house made spicy sauce for additional flavor. The chicken nanban is also a must get, I was so surprised at how juicy the fritters were and wanted to order another one for the table.

No unfortunately.

Is there a big line at 5pm? or can you really just walk up on the early side and get a table?

Use Yelp to put your name on the list. There will likely be some wait.
