" I recently visited Baka Umai for the first time. The food was good but not quite what I expected based on the hype. I opted for the seafood tsukemen, and while the broth was flavorful, the noodles didn’t have that chewy texture I love. The service was friendly, and the place was quite clean, but I just found the overall experience a bit underwhelming. I might come back to try the tonkotsu next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Decent ramen restaurant, but I expected a bit more after seeing the reviews. My miso ramen wasn't bad, but it was somewhat one-dimensional in terms of flavor. The service was friendly, and the place was clean, but I don't think I'll be rushing back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Baka Umai never disappoints! The flavors in their ramen are executed beautifully, especially the vegan options, which are often overlooked in many places. The service is always on point, friendly, and welcoming. Can't wait to go back and try more dishes on their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Excellent ramen! However, it was a bit spicy for my taste. I ordered the Reaper Ramen and it did not hold back on the heat. As someone who enjoys spicy food, it was a challenge! Nonetheless, the broth had great flavor and the service was friendly and accommodating. I will be trying the mild options on my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Baka Umai has quality ramen that is delicious and authentic! I visited with friends, and the karaage was crispy and satisfying. I really enjoyed the tonkotsu ramen as well, it was packed with amazing flavors! The ambiance was cozy and inviting. I can’t wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about Baka Umai! The silky red tonkotsu is my absolute favorite; it's pure comfort in a bowl! The pork is always beautifully cooked, and the broth is rich and flavorful. The staff are kind and attentive. It's a cozy little spot that I'll keep coming back to. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Amazing ramen! I took my family for dinner and we were all impressed. The kids loved the karaage chicken, and my spouse had the spicy ramen, which was truly delightful. The vibe was perfect for a casual family night. The owner even came by to chat, which added to the experience. Can’t wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)
