My son the foodie loved this place. Not my favorite food, so I thought it was good but not great. The outdoor seating faces unattractive streets which is too bad. Waiter was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the dishes. If you have extra broth left, extra noodles cost $3.95 which i thought was too bad.

My daughter and I had very good food. My wife, however ordered the gluten free ramen bowl and only subtracted onions and bean sprouts. That bowl came out with a plethora of green onions and none of the other vegetables that go in it. Waitress, who was very nice up to then, had no interest in remaking the bowl the way we asked after two times discussing the error. Flavor was not good either.

The food was fantastic, and the servers and atmosphere is great, not to small or large a space, not too noisy or quiet, very cool, and great location. But that food, wow. I have a whole new perception and appreciation of ramen. And it must be the best stocked bar in town for Asian whiskeys and beers. Wife and I were impressed and surprised. Will go back with friends. I might have to stop in sometime by myself, like for lunch, and sit at the bar for more of that ramen, and maybe some Soju.

We booked a table for 6 on a Saturday evening at 5 pm. We had heard about the Happy Hour. This was our first visit to Boru Ramen and our server Michael made our visit memorable. He was knowledgeable and very delightful in helping us make selections for first timers. I think we tried all the appetizers and several of the very creative Happy Hour drinks. We ordered 3 kinds of ramen bowls and ended with the tiramisu and maybe an extra flan! It was fun and we all agree on a return visit.

There are so many TVs for such s small restaurant. Most of the TVs were playing old music videos, which was very distracting. It kind of felt like I was in a throwback or arcade bar, not at a nice dinner.

Visited for birthday lunch during KC Restaurant Week. Tried three different items, all were delicious! Boru 2.0 with pork was good, Spicy Miso was fairly spicy, but delicious, and Curry Beef had a nice, subtle curry flavor with fat udon noodles. With potatoes and slightly sweet, well-cooked carrots and gravy, seemed like a homemade pot roast dish with lots of beef. Dessert, definitely choose the Chocolate Caramel Tart. Amazing crust, chocolate and caramel conflagration! The Custard was fine, but plain next to the other. Will definitely return!

As always I had a delish meal at Boru. The food was wonderful and came to the table promptly. The server was friendly and helpful, but not overwhelming. My only annoyance was the volume of the music and the number of TVs in the place. Other than that, it is awesome!

Music is TOO loud. Can’t have a conversation with the people at your table. Waiter was nice but food takes forever! It’s taken forever every time we’ve gone so I think it’s the norm.

I really wanted this restaurant to be great. We had some amazing bites of food, but we also had a few terrible bites. We had the Shishito Peppers to start. Some bites were amazing, but some were so salty we could barely swallow. We also had the Bulgogi wraps; two were great, one had one big gristly piece of meat. Then we had the Korean Ramen. For the most part is was flavorful and good, but our pork belly had cartilage in it, which pork belly should not have. It appears that while the flavors are there, the consistency and the meat needs some work.

We’ve been numerous times and this was not a good experience. The waitress took 15 min to get our order. She forgot our appetizer and brought it after our meal. And they put the chili bomb in the wrong ramen.
