" I’ve been to many ramen places, but Nishiki Ramen has become my go-to. The Garlic Tonkotsu is out of this world! You can really taste the love in the rich broth. I appreciate that they use freshly made noodles, and the toppings like the slow-cooked egg are always on point. While the place can get crowded, the wait is worthwhile. I've also tried their vegan options, which are quite good too. Definitely a place I would recommend to friends. Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointingly, the ramen at Nishiki did not meet my high expectations based on previous reviews. While the broth was okay, I personally think it lacked depth compared to other ramen spots I've tried. The noodles were decent but I was hoping for a more homemade taste. On the other hand, the gyoza appetizer was flavorful and crispy. If you are a first-timer, give it a try, but know that there are also other local options around. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had such a great dining experience here! The food was delicious, with a variety of options that cater to everyone. I went for the curry ramen, which was a lovely surprise for my taste buds. I adored the meat and toppings; they complemented the rich broth. Admittedly, the dining area was a little cramped, but for the taste, I wouldn’t complain. Don’t pass up on visiting Nishiki if you’re near! " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious ramen experience! I tried the black garlic ramen, and it was divine. The taste was authentic, and the broth was rich and hearty. I also really liked the variety of appetizers they offered. My only complaint is that it took a couple of tries to get seated, as it was quite busy. Overall, totally worth it. Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" An absolutely delightful ramen spot! The menu has plenty of options for both meat-lovers and vegetarians. I opted for the vegan ramen, which was surprisingly very hearty and flavorful. The broth could have packed a bit more of a punch, but overall, I was pleased with my choice. The service was attentive, and I loved the ambiance, which felt very welcoming. I also appreciate how clean and well-kept the restaurant is. If you're looking for quality vegan ramen, I highly recommend giving this place a try. Can't wait to bring my non-vegan friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Nishiki has been my favorite ramen spot since I discovered it a few years back! Each bowl feels authentic like something straight from Japan. The tom yum ramen was an excellent twist, packed with flavor and just the right amount of spice! My only concern is that the wait can be frustrating during busy hours. However, that definitely won’t stop me from coming back! Keep it up, Nishiki! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love Nishiki for its atmosphere and great ramen! Every time I visit, I'm in love with the garlic undertones they add to the broth; it's lobbed with flavor. Service has always been friendly on my visits, adding to the overall experience. Dining here is usually a very positive experience. I recommend it as one of the best ramen spots in the city!
