This ramen place is okay. They go a little heavy on the pepper, and it’s not super authentic, but it still tastes fine. In the summer, they give out free ice cream—you just have to ask for it.

This is my favorite Ramen spot. I used to get the tonkatsu, which was fire! But we no longer eat pork. The vegetarian ramen is honestly amazing. I’ve tried other places since because of their schedule, but no other place comes close to theirs. It’s creamy and delicious. Sometimes I question how they make it so good. Service is always great. I love that they have a kids ramen meal. My daughter gets to enjoy her own ramen giving me the freedom to add spice to my bowl and not worry about having to share it. This has become our family’s comfort food staple when we’re craving ramen. It’s not a big place but they’ve accommodated our party of 15 one time. We recommend this place to all our family and friends. I’m not sure why I hadn’t written a review here before. If you come here and never considered trying the vegetarian ramen; I say DO It! You won’t be dissatisfied.

Delicious ramen and fantastic service. I've become obsessed with ramen as of late, but haven't found a place that really has impressed me; until today. I've been hearing about RamenKoKo since we moved to Highland about a year ago and finally followed up to the claims today. The place is a small, inviting restaurant with only a handful of tables and mostly American movie posters from Japan lining the walls. It's charming and the staff greeted us immediately. The menu is small and easy to figure out, which is great for me as im still new to japanese food, but is full of intriguing dishes and appetizers. We orders edamame and gyoza to start. The gyoza was perfectly cooked and didn't disappoint and the edamame came coated in a garlic chili paste that was so good I could eat it by itself with a spoon. My wife got a garlic pork rice bowl and I ordered the spicy tonkatsu ramen. I love pork and have been wanting to try real tonkatsu ramen since learning about it last year (thanks to Mike Chen on YouTube) I also ordered some miso broth as I have never had it and really wanted to try it. The rice bowl was good, slightly sweet and the pork was great. The miso broth impressed me and was super salty and delicious. The star of the show was my tonkatsu ramen. The broth is so rich and flavorful and is only improved when you add the chili paste to the broth. The pork belly on top was crazy good and once you dive into this dish you don't want to stop until your sniffling and full. The spice level was perfect and I truly cannot describe how tasty the broth is. I tried the thin noodles and they were good, but they have other options and I'll be trying those next time. I can't forget about the service and staff too. They were all so polite and attentive and helpful that it makes you appreciate the people who take their jobs seriously and provide that kind of service. Overall, great experience with fantastic food and service. I cannot wait to go back and eat through the rest of their menu!

This nice little ramen spot in Highland is definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area! I went for a spicy tonkotsu ramen which I usually get. The broth was rich and savory and paired well with the thin noodles and soy sauce egg (my favorite part of any ramen bowl). The pork belly was not too fatty, and portioned well. One thing that could be worked on about the broth is that it’s a bit salty but not too overpowering. Spice level was perfect for my tastes as well. You can even get free ice cream for signing in on Yelp! Really great service and food. Really is a gem in Highland!

Its definitely a place you go to hang out with friends and socialize. I liked that part of the environment. I got the tonkotsu ramen and it was good. It had different ingredients than I am used to but it was very delicious. Would recommend.

Ramen = 3/5 Service = 5/5 Ambiance= 5/5 This was my first experience here. I want to give recognition to the solo server. She handled orders, served, and lightly cleaned the restaurant as she went. Service and restaurant ambience and cleanliness was a solid 5/5 here. I tipped for this alone. The ramen, however, while quite delicious overall, I found the broth to be a bit lacking in flavor... but everything from the egg to the meat, even the bamboo (which I don't normally take into account) was quite delicious all things considered... hence the odd 3.5 rating. Perhaps I'll order with add-ons next time to raise the broth flavor to my liking. Overall a 4.3 out of 5. Would definitely come back if I'm ever in the neighborhood again.
