Sakuratani Ramen & Izakaya: Reviews & Ratings
Authentic delicious and a whole pleasant experience food was great definitely recommend visiting them if your in the mood for Ramen. Loved the decorations.
My husband and I love to come here. The food is so good. We ordered the ramen spicy and it was delicious. With that, we had to try the sake and the tempura cheesecake to share. Spot on! The staff is always amazing. Will continue to visit.
Scrumptious ramen. Hands down my favorite ramen place I’ve been to. So much so that we’re willing to drive around forty minutes for it. My favorite is the miso ramen, it’s a little sweet and very umami. I got it with no wood ear mushrooms and bamboo shoots and they were accommodating to this preference. My parents both got the tonkatsu ramen. This is a phenomenal pork bone broth with a pretty opaque color demonstrating its purity. The pork belly baos were also pretty good, but the ramen is the highlight for sure.
It was the best Ramen we had. We will definitely be back.
Hands down the best ramen I had outside of Japan itself. The place has a really nice atmosphere, very friendly staff and great food. Highly recommend to any one who would like to try or miss authentic Japanese ramen.
This is our go to place for ramen. The around. The staff is also very friendly and awesome!! Highly recommend
This place is amazing! Not to many people know about it from the reviews but it's a diamond in the rough. Tons of different sakes to try and they give wonderful descriptions about each one and how they pair well with different foods. I tried the spicy miso ramen and my girlfriend had the spicy chicken ramen. Both we're incredibly delicious. The spices/heat hit the spot. Our bao buns we're incredible as well. I highly recommend this joint. Good vibes, good service and good food.
I absolutely love this place. I've been several times over the last few months and I always leave happy. The ramen is excellent and the service and atmosphere match. A little sake with dinner really tops it off. Get the hot sauce, use it sparingly, but the flavor is amazing.
