" I stumbled upon Niku Ramen after a long day exploring Boston, and it was a highlight of my trip! The ramen was delightful, and the chef was incredibly welcoming, chatting with us as we enjoyed our meal. The atmosphere was vibrant yet cozy, creating the perfect setting for a dinner. I highly recommend the spicy pork ramen; it had just the right kick and was unbelievably satisfying. I will absolutely come again on my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is a cute little ramen joint that serves solid bowls of ramen without a fuss. I loved the straightforward menu and quick service. The spicy miso ramen was my choice and had a nice kick to it. The ambiance is perfect for a casual dinner, and the owner was incredibly friendly, which made the experience even better. A worthwhile stop for ramen lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been searching for a good ramen spot in Boston, and I believe I finally found it at Niku Ramen! The ambiance is quaint, with limited seating, but it adds to the charm. The tonkotsu ramen was heavenly; the broth was flavorful and really brought the dish together. My only complaint would be that I wish they offered a few more vegetarian options on the menu. However, overall, it was a solid dining experience, and the overall service was great! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved everything about this place! The ramen was to die for; the broth was incredibly rich and had obviously been simmered to perfection. I found my new favorite dish: the wagyu don. It was so tender, and the flavors melded beautifully. The owner was so personable, sharing his story and passion for cooking. Niku Ramen truly captures the spirit of authentic Japanese dining right in the heart of Boston. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Niku Ramen for the first time after hearing good things about it, and overall my experience was pretty great. The ramen was tasty, and I appreciated the options on the menu. The service was quick and friendly, lending to a relaxed vibe that made my meal enjoyable. I had the spicy miso, and while I thought it was good, I wouldn’t call it the best I’ve ever had. I’d definitely be open to coming back to try something else from their menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent visit to Niku Ramen was a delightful surprise! I was searching for a place to enjoy some authentic Japanese ramen, and I was not disappointed. The tonkotsu ramen was a rich, flavorful bowl that had the perfect balance of broth and toppings. It was clear that the chef took great pride in his craft, and I had a fantastic time watching him prepare our meals. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and I felt right at home. Highly recommend for anyone craving good ramen! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to give credit to Niku Ramen for their nice environment and friendly service. However, the ramen, while decent, was somewhat underwhelming. I expected a lot more from the tonkotsu ramen. The broth wasn’t that flavorful, and I was left craving more depth after finishing my bowl. Great potential, but they need to step up the flavor. " (*Curated Review*)
