    Awesome location and aesthetic! Came on a Sunday around 1 with a group of 6, had to wait an hour. Wait wasn’t bad, got to hang out outside. What made it worth it was the table they seated us at! Felt like a private room on the corner of the restaurant! Super awesome. Honestly the appetizers are what made it for me. DELICIOUS! I wish the portions were larger but WOW! Every ingredient, the crispy the soft! I would come again for them. Unfortunately not the ramen. It was decent. The broth was rather bland. But the presentation was beautiful! Overall great experience with some great friends!

    The best authentic ramen shop in all of OKC and my favorite too! All the food was truly delicious, yum yum! If you want to forget about letting down everyone in your life get some pork buns. The staff are respectful, hardworking, and accommodating which makes the experience even better.portions are pretty big so it's worth it . The atmosphere is also quiet and casual, absolutely love this place!

    This place is lovely. Mac, my bartender, her first bar shift too, she's great. I asked her to pick everything: pick a cocktail, pick an app, and pick my ramen. Everything she chose was delicious, and that's because everything at Goro Ramen is rich with flavor and personality. Will be coming back. This joint is on par with the best Asian places on Convoy in San Diego.

    Listen...Gorō is a total vibe. The staff were super friendly. I was w/ my sis & it was our first time there. Our server was super knowledgeable on the menu & specials. Pretty ordered her recommendations & we were NOT disappointed. The restaurant was very clean. The food...ugh the food...was top notch. Besides the packets I used to eat as a kid after school, this was my first time to have Ramen...I am mos def a fan. I can't wait to go back & try the rest of the menu!

    Absolutely amazing! The ramen was perfect! I got the spicy miso, and I personally don’t actually love spicy. But it was perfect! I also got the chicken appetizer, with the pork and crab dumplings. And they were both wonderful! The chicken was so good! If you go I definitely recommend you try it!

    I absolutely loved everything I tried here! The chicken karaage was fantastic and crispy. The tea was really nice and smooth. The ramen had the perfect balance of toppings and flavors to mix things up as you ate. The atmosphere is nice and relaxing. I love the dark colors and wooden bars. There’s also some really neat art around

    This is my second time visiting this restaurant located in the Paseo District in OKC, and both times I had the Tokyo Hot Chicken and Kare Mazemen Ramen. I can't take much spice, but I'm able to eat the chicken with no issues. I chose the Kare because it's brothless, and that's what I prefer. It's been delicious BOTH times. The service has always been professional, and the atmosphere is nice.

    Friggin amazing. So I'll start with this was my first time eating non-college style microwave ramen. And it was amazing. I got the Spicy Miso Ramen, and my Friend got the Kid Ramen with Garlic. Both were stellar. Served up super hot, and a generous bowl full. You can also get extra noodles after the fact if you desire should you still be hindlgry and have some broth left. The Bartender was awesome - super friendly, ensured we followed proper hot sake etiquette, and harassed us when we asked for forks (it worked - we stuck with chip sticks and figured it out. But he was being playful and would've given us a fork if we really wanted one). Would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

    🍜 If you haven’t visited Goro Ramen, you’re missing out! Goro is in the heart of the Paseo Arts District and has some of the best ramen in OKC. The restaurant’s ambiance perfectly complements the artistic vibe of the district. Their ramen bowls taste incredible and are truly authentic—this isn’t your college ramen noodle packets of yesteryear. They also have a great drink menu with several unique Japanese Highball cocktails, a great selection of sake, beer, and other beverages. A must-visit when you're in the area! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Had a fabulous Raman lunch here with a good friend and her family today ... First visit to Oklahoma City and I have to say that the food was awesome and the service was incredible!!! Our waitress who was pregnant was patient and outstanding. She brought me some soda water as I was having stomach pains earlier before arrival and it helped me so much. By the time the ramen dishes arrived my stomach was normal and I was able to enjoy my food along with conversation around the dinner table. Will stop in again on my way back home to NC ina few weeks. 🙏🏿😎

    The Atmosphere is perfect. It's laid back, the Music is just right for any crowd. They dim the lights at Night so you don't have to be sitting under a super bright light, which gives you privacy. The Sake is delicious and the Ramen in the bomb!! Some of the best Ramen I've tasted thus far. Would definitely recommend couples, groups, friends, and is even Kid Friendly. The staff there is absolutely amazing! They're respectful, prompt, and very nice. Very Lovely atmosphere and reasonable prices for Food and Drinks. Will be going again.

    Goro is without a doubt one of my favorite places to eat at in Oklahoma. In my opinion, this place is home to the best ramen in the state, with my personal favorite being the spicy ramen (add a chili bomb for even more flavor and heat). I also highly recommend trying their sake flights and appetizers. For example, the Tokyo Hot Chicken is simply incredible! For so many reasons, I cannot recommend this place enough!

    Food and service were good. The vibe is definitely very community! The place was packed during Sunday lunch. I went with the basic ramen dish and it was great! I would skip the fried garlic in the future. All-in-all, it was a good experience with good food!

    Beautiful restaurant and yummy food. We had two waiters during our dinner here and the second one was very attentive. I’m not the biggest ramen fan but I tried a bite of the pork belly and the fat was rendered perfectly! I’d definitely come back for the experience.

    We came here for dinner on a weekday evening. We had a party of 6, and mostly ordered the Spicy Miso Ramen. It was a bit too salty for my taste. I ended up having to chug 32oz of water couple of hours afterwards. The tipping option started out at 18%. You do have the option of a custom amount. The wait staff uses a handheld electronic payment device, and will stand above you as you are selecting your tipping option. Overall, I did not have a bad experience at this place. It looks to be popular, as the place was getting packed as we were leaving.

    The food was delicious and was a reasonable price. The staff was amazing. I got Tori ramen the soup was light and had just the right amount of flavor. When I added the chili oil it tasted so good.

    We have been traveling from California and stopped by OKC during the trip. We wanted to have Asian food and decided to stop by Goro. Everything was good, but the Tebasaki (chicken wings) were exceptional. As a chicken wing lover, their chicken wings are crispy and with a nice sweet sauce. It's one of the best I have tried. Another memorable dish is their chilled ramen. I usually would not order chill ramen from a ramen place, but I am glad we did. Definitely a must try. This is a fusion ramen place if you are interested in trying new things.

    Japanese style restro, good ramen & appetizers. Loved the experience. Moderately priced, parking could be tough to find. Many places around this area.

  • 5/5 Tailor M. 2 years ago on Google
    The best ramen we have ever had! Be warned that this place is busy! Even on a Monday night it’s packed and there is a wait. The Spicy Miso is one of the best. The bartender let us know that changing the pork meatballs For the pork belly really makes the dish even better. So do the upgrade! There is also chicken meatballs you can add or change to as well. You can also order extra noodles to continue enjoying your broth. Great atmosphere and staff especially for a fun date night. It’s mostly bar type seating with a few tables in the front. Everything on the menu is pretty delicious but the ramen is our favorite.

    This was my first visit to a raman restaurant. Th Japanese steam rolls were delicious. The Raman was "okay". Service was professional and polite. I recommend giving Goro Ramen a try. I think I'm just more of a Pho fan.

  • 4/5 Kasey Raia S. 5 months ago on Google
    The atmosphere of this restaurant is nice... dark with nice decor. The ramen was alright. My complaint is that there was a lot of onion in the ramen so drinking the broth was not very pleasant. Other than that, good flavors and nice service.

  • 5/5 Dawn Palmer (. 6 months ago on Google
    I've gone to Goro Ramen multiple times in the past few years, and not once have I had a SINGLE complaint about this place. The waitstaff is wonderful, the food always tastes wonderful, and its a great local business to support!! I noticed this time around they had added a drink menu, and so I tried their Sake, and it was wonderful! They bring it to you in its glass along with a shot glass. Very cute! Can't wait to come back in the next few months for my next ramen outing.

    Four stars for the saving grace of this place and why we came - the food! Cheers to the cooks. When we came in it was a little after 5 on a Tuesday and we were seated right away. The tables were not my favorite, the half booth with one chair where you feel like you’re sitting with strangers, bar area was not much better with backless stools. We were poured waters and the glasses smelled/tasted like a fish tank (dishwasher probably needs sanitized). Atmosphere is nice, modern, neon “Ramen” sign is cool, music was chill. We ordered the Tokyo Hot Chicken, this was surprisingly great but be warned they are big drumsticks, not sexy to eat in front of a date :) wish there was more sauce. Our ramen came out about 1 minute after the app which is kind of annoying, I appreciate when there’s better timing. I got the Spicy Miso and my husband got the Tori Paitan. Spicy miso was good, the texture of the noodles was perfectly chewy which I love and is difficult to find, I also enjoyed the addition of meatballs - unique and delicious! Tori Parian was also good, SO garlicky so make sure you like that before ordering, I liked the pork belly in it, big chunks with a nice, fall apart texture. Our server was not great, he didn’t ever clear our app plates with the wet naps etc, even after he came back later, just looked right at them and walked away, kinda gross to sit there with dirty dishes all night. Also did not like the check out process, he took payment at the table and stood and waited while we filled out the tip, which by the way was set for a default of tipping off of the tax amount instead of the subtotal (should be off of subtotal). Also find it awkward when they sit and watch you. Despite all of this, I’d come back, for the food! Ramen was good, I guess that’s how they get away with the rest.

    I went here around 9 on Saturday night with a group of 8 friend. The service was superb. I wish I remembered my server’s name but he did an amazing job at explaining the food options as well as the drinks. The service was prompt and everything came out correct. But what came next was the best part… THE FOOD! I got the Kare Mazemen and it was amazing! A top 5 meal for me! My boyfriend and I ordered the same thing and we couldn’t stop eating it. I was full after a few bites but finished the whole bowl. The vibes were immaculate, the service prompt and the food AMAZING! 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

    I was really excited about this place because I read about it online and people were raving and saying that it was the best ramen in OKC including best vegan ramen, which is what I had (I eat vegetarian so I added an egg). It was also my first time having "real" not instant ramen so I was excited but tbh a bit of a let down for me and I'm a little worried about my ramen future if this is as good as it gets. The vegan broth was decent enough but I had to ask after I got it for the chili garlic bomb and that helped. The egg was probably the best part. The noodles were actually really good too (my sister said they seemed homemade). I liked that it had a lot of stuff like mushrooms, green onions, friend onions, and some fried tofu, but it wasn't really enough to add a ton of flavor in my opinion. The tofu especially was so flavorless, which I guess tofu is but it really had nothing going on besides texture. To me, tofu is something that can really be a great base for so many flavors and you can do so much with it so to have it simply fried and flavorless was a let down. The portion size was great, I ate too much though! I mean, it was good enough that I did eat it all I guess, but it just wasn't the amazingness that people had claimed that I had been hoping for. Otherwise, the vibe was definitely hopping and it was fun to dine in even though the wait was crazy and they don't take reservations. It would be nice if there was some kind of online line you could get in? I've seen something like this on Yelp where you can add yourself to a wait-list. Idk if they have anything like that because no one mentioned it. Anyway, I felt cool being in there when we finally did get a seat. My sister had regular (non-vegan) ramen with pork belly and she LOVED the pork but the broth was "ehhh alright". She liked adding a bit of the chili garlic bomb to hers too. Once the pork was gone she said it wasn't as great.

    Great atmosphere, good food and amazing staff. Enjoyed all the food including pork steam buns and the spicy ramen. Staff were really friendly and informative. The ramen broth is a light flavor compared to other ramen locations.

  • 5/5 Devin G. 2 years ago on Google
    So for the longest I've always heard that goro ramen had the best ramen around OKC but that may be a little shaken ATM. There are other competitors around the city. Goro rightfully takes it's seat as one of the top competitors regardless. I've been here a few times and the experience is always a fantastic one. The appetizers are worth the experience. The chicken are always highly packed with flavor. I highly recommend the miso ramen as it always packs more brighter flavors compared to the other choices like the Tori Ramen. Main plus is also the Addition of corn to the bowl of ramen which changes alot about the bowl. I've brought my daughter here so now we can try some other varieties to see how they compare. Thanks for the delicious celebratory meal.

  • 2/5 Joe X. 2 years ago on Google
    Good place to hangout, but not good for having authentic Japanese ramen. The taste of broth is too salted. The noodle taste like instant noodle. And the meat is way too big, can be cut smaller. Won't come back
