Bokujō Ramen

First time visiting after hearing about this online. Really loved the atmosphere and decor. Service was okay, but not really helpful for a person trying restaurant quality Ramen for the first time. The menu could have been better at describing the the dishes and what to expect. Perhaps some photos. Had the Buffalo Ramen entree and it was delicious, the Ramen definitely had a great texture and was plentiful. The Buffalo meat was sliced thin and held together in the bowl. My girlfriend tried the Pork Belly Ramen entree and she liked it, but it was very heavy on garlic flavor for my taste. The hard boiled egg was slightly cool on the inside on both of our dishes but didn't detract overall. Our main waitress was very utilitarian in service and did not seen very friendly or eager to educate new

Lived in Rapid for a few months for work and everyone recommended this place. I loved their bison ramen and found it unique, although after a while the broth became bitter with all the arugula. I was able to visit the associated Bokujo Bodega next door while here. There is a lot of potential for this to be a nice, small spot with Japanese imports. However, I found that most of the products were US-based rather than directly from Japan, I am not sure how this effects the tax rate. I bought a bunch of goodies to snack on at home!

Best ramen we’ve ever had, hands down. You also need to try the bison bun. The restaurant is so uniquely decorated, which makes the whole experience that much better! I don’t think a single item on the menu would disappoint. It is clear that chef Justin Warner and his wife have devoted a lot of time to their craft. Also, stop by the bodega next door after you’ve eaten, if you want a treat or even some broth to-go.

Food was good. Mushroom miso, bison, spicy cucumbers. Hot tea was decent. Really loud inside. Not good for sitting and enjoying a meal with someone. Hard to hear.

I would give the food and service zero stars if I could. I get its a Sunday evening on the off season, but wow what garbage. This was some of the most bland tonkotsu broth I've ever tasted. And the pork belly looked and tasted more like jerky that was rehydrated. I ate about three bites and decided not eat anymore. Also way overpriced because their bland excuse for ramen was on a TV show once. The server was inattentive and clearly didn't care. Decor was ok and the Godzilla movies playing was a nice touch for ambience. Only thing positive about my experience. Dont waste your money or your time here.
