Reviews for RAMEN NARUTO in Azusa, CA
#1. The creepy old man has to go in the eve. He may be the owner or something but he does not belong there. He is standing there... dressed in the white undershirt (unlike others in black uniforms) staring at the customers & kids. Cleans the tables here &there, but my daughter never wants to go back there because of him. #2. The food is ok. Don't understand why it's so busy. Didnot see other Asians except us. ( That tells you something). One of the soup we ordered was a Chicken (!!) Ramen, but it wasfish based & too fishy!!!! WHY? It made no sense. It is a CHICKEN ramen!! It was horrible. #3. Don't order Katsu curry. TheKatsu patty is obviously from the freezer. Read more
First time here honestly just to try the naurto ramen. Food was okay nothing too amazin but it came our pretty Quick. Love the... japanese server lady dou. She was really nice and everything. Read more
Solid local ramen with some nice touches. Love that they offer, pork, chicken and veggie broth options. Big win since my GF... doesn?t eat pork. Chicken broth actually had a little more flavor than the pork, in my opinion. Neither of us thought ourrespective meats had much flavor though. Somewhat of an afterthought, which is a shame. I?m a meat lover and didn?t try tofinish all mine. I ordered the Naruto 66, heat level 4 of 5, which does come with extra pork as promised and was a pretty largeserving. Wasn?t that spicy in my opinion and will try the 5 next time. My GF the Tori shoyu with heat level of 2 of 5. Wasprobably just right for her, but spice level wasn?t much different than mine. The chicken Karrage appetizer was a winner. Placeis close by and decent enough to try a few more options and will tweak the spice level and broth options. Maybe miso will havemore flavor. All in all, a good local ramen spot that will do the job when your craving ramen. Read more
I trully feel like they have changed a bit since my first visit years ago and honestly at this point I would go here to watch... Naruto and eat ramen while doing so but I feel like the hype has not yet vanished. I truly love this place way back when due toit being my first ramen shops to ever visit. Read more
Ramen Naruto is delicious and definitely hit the spot. It's nice to not have to travel all the way to LA's Little Tokyo for... decent Ramen. (Of course going to Japan would be better but this is alot closer) The staff was attentive and the restaurant issmall. It being near a campus makes it a busy little joint. The food is filling and there was plenty. We probably didn't needthe side dishes but wanted to give them a try. Everything was delicious. I'd say its price range is about $$ but if you are inthe area give it a try. The esthetic is nice with anime playing in the background and the food is great. Will be back again. Read more
This is a favorite spot. The R3 with level 3 spicy is so good! The flavors are strong and wholesome and tastes fresh unlike some... other locations. We can taste the difference ???? also the curry pork cutlest is yummy. I give it 4 starts due to the long waitto get seated every time. Expect long lines whenever you go. People can't get enough of this place but it's worth the wait. Read more
The quick review: Fantastic ramen, personable customer service and great value for your hard earned money! The Longer... Version: I?ve been coming to Ramen Naruto for the past few months. Regardless of whether or not it was a cold and rainy winternight or a warm summer evening, the ramen here has always made me feel satisfied. While I typically don?t enjoy consuming hotsoup during the hotter days of spring and summer, I always make an exception for this place as it?s always delicious. EverytimeI come here, I always order the same soup: the Naruto 66. The ramen is delicious as it has a great amount of savory toppingsand a flavorful broth that provides the perfect amount of saltiness. (Occasionally I?ll pivot and get their poke bowl, which isstill great and gets the same amount of consideration to attention as the ramen.) Other items that can compliment anyramen bowl can also include popcorn shrimp, gyoza and (my personal favorite out of all these items) potato croquettes. There'sjust something about these croquettes that are better than, say, hash browns or fries. They?re crispy on the outside but remainfluffyon the inside. Besides the ramen, another small thing that I appreciate is the consistency of my visits every time I comehere. The ramen, along with the other dishes, are always prepared consistently well and are complimented by greatcustomer service. Shingo, the owner of the store, tries his best to come check up on us along with the other customers to makesure everything is running smoothly and that we are enjoying the food. During one of my visits when I was particularly sad sinceI had to put down my dog, one of the waitresses that I had seen often asked why I was sad and, after explaining this, providedme with a free dessert after my meal, which made me feel a little more cheerful! It made me appreciate the customer service evenmore and made this place feel like a home away from home. On top of all of this, the shop itself, while small, is pr Read more
Read a lot of good reviews before coming here. Very small menu. Ordered the R61 and R8, adding veggies and egg to each (egg was... phenomenal). Very disappointed. Not much flavor, VERY little meat, which was unseasoned and incredibly dry, and mediocreportions in general. They charge extra to add any level of spice (literally a 1 out of 5 spice warrants a charge), yet Iguarantee it?s just a small squirt of sriracha. A 4/5 spice and a whole side dish of sriracha added in made it comparable tomost other Ramen scales. Altogether not awful, but not worthy of hype or the great reviews it receives. Read more
