" First time here, and I loved the vibe! It’s a bit loud and bustling, which adds to the charm. I had the spicy pork ramen. The broth was rich but slightly oily for my taste. The service was quick, and I found it quite efficient despite the crowd. I can see myself coming back to explore more dishes on their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I used to love Nishiki but my latest experience wasn’t as good. The service was a bit disorganized, and the wait was long even with a reservation. The food was good, but it felt like the portion sizes have shrunk over the years. I remember them being a lot more filling. Not sure if I will return right away. Hoping it gets back to its former glory. " (*Curated Review*)

" Always a great experience at Nishiki Ramen! The garlic tonkotsu is to die for; it has this umami flavor that is simply unreal. Their service has always stayed top-notch. I've been going to this restaurant for years, and I only see it getting better. Can’t wait to return—especially during the colder seasons when their broth feels even cozier! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have traveled extensively in Japan and had ramen from some of the most famous spots. Nishiki Ramen stands out with its authentic flavor. Their Tonkotsu broth is rich and creamy, and I can add garlic just how I like it! My only qualm was that I felt the portion sizes have shrunk a little since my last visit. It's a small price to pay for such memorable, high-quality ramen, but I hope they consider if the price point reflects the portion sizes too. I will still keep coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, Nishiki Ramen is not just another ramen shop; it's an experience. The moment you step in, you are transported to a cozy little joint reminiscent of Japan. I ordered the spicy ramen, and oh my, it had just the right kick! The noodles were perfectly cooked, and the toppings were generous. It's worth mentioning that the staff is friendly, making the atmosphere all the more welcoming. My only complaint was the wait time during peak hours, but it was worth it for such an authentic dining experience. This will definitely not be my last visit! " (*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!
