Ninja Ramen

Really liked this place. Super chill and my ramen was super good. I had the miso ramen and my boyfriend got the spicy mazemen and they were both amazing.

A perfect bowl of Ramen! Broth is exceptional, pork belly cooked perfectly, delicious bamboo shoots, and a free noodle refill.. simple, and still much better than all of the over-the-top options around! Our favorite neighborhood spot!

Awesome staff. Ramen is a little different but not in a bad way. Charred pork belly cubes instead of chashu style. Creamy non-ramen was good. Definitely will come back if in the area.

The waiter was extremely prompt and nice! Overall the service here was great, it wasn’t busy (8pm on a Saturday) and it felt great to have almost the whole place to ourselves. I ordered the Mockery (cocktail) and the Aburamen. The cocktail was an amazing surprise. I have family in Illinois and as a malort based drink I have never had it mixed into a cocktail before! It was very limey and masked the usual taste of malort and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I also loved the aburamen, while it is broth less I felt the noodles were sufficiently seasoned and the flavors were great. I will return!

Ninja Ramen has been one of the greatest ramen spots that I always go to! My usual go to bowl is the Spicy Misou Ramen Bowl. The pork is nicely cooked and chewy with a great taste. The Ramen itself has a flavorful taste with a great broth that only makes more delicious! Chris, the owner, gives great service when he’s around! The bartenders make one of the best drinks and the whiskey is top notch! I highly recommend giving this ramen spot a try, and I consider this place one of the best ramen spot in Houston!

I came here with my boyfriend for the snow event. It was super festive and an overall a cute place. We sat at a table, it took a while for the server to get to us so we needed up moving to the bar. From then on the bartenders took care of us. The drinks were amazing!!!! The ramen was very good!!!! It had a lot of pork belly in there! Overall the experience was well! Will be coming back!

Found this place by recommendation of a local and previous employee. I originally came to visit the day of the snow-- but it was overwhelming, so I left and returned today. Had the original pork belly ramen for dinner on my way out of town, did not disappoint. The bartender Alex was extremely accommodating and friendly, even went out of his way to help with parking. I'd recommend paying for valet parking or Uber, as I did end up getting a parking violation (that's on me) as parking in the Heights can be quite tricky-- but it was worth finally getting to check out the place. Alex is the only reason I stayed and wanted to try the place out. The ramen is fresh, authentic, good, genuine food pork belly ramen. Some of the best ramen I've had in Houston, I travel frequently so I always appreciate a good bowl of fresh ramen. The vibes from one of the staff members was extremely weird, I walked up and he smoking while on duty IN FRONT OF THE RESTAURANT-- unless he's the owner, that's weird and against TABC but considering the conversation he had with me, I doubt he was. This particular member even told me to park at a tow away zone-- wouldn't be surprised if he was on something, you could just tell this dude was wired on something. He couldn't make coherent words or phrases. If it weren't for Alex & the Chef, I would have left. But, regardless of how uncomfortable that staff made me feel, I decided to stay since I was there for the food not the people. It's worth making the drive to check out this hole in the wall. I was even excited because they had a fairly large selection of Asian whiskey, would have tried it if I weren’t driving. I often find if great restaurants can conquer the simple meals, they can conquer more elaborate ones. Definitely will return if the road brings me back to Houston.

Amazing bar, great for locals. Super friendly staff!
