The Best Ramen in All 50 States
By Suzanne Raga
To celebrate National Ramen Noodle Day, we’re diving deep into the salty, savory, and spicy world of ramen. Ramen usually contains some combination of noodles, broth, meat, and vegetables, but the classic Japanese dish's ingredients and cooking method can vary considerably across regions. So whether you’re a ramen purist or are open to experimenting with more unconventional bowls, take a look at some of the best ramen in all 50 states.
1. ALABAMA // BAMBOO ON 2ND

Birmingham, Alabama
This Pan-Asian neighborhood restaurant in Birmingham’s Loft District serves a pork broth ramen packed with flavorful veggies such as tree ear and shiitake mushrooms, carrots, and bean sprouts. If you want to add meat to your ramen, you can choose between pork belly, chicken, beef, tofu, and shrimp.
2. ALASKA // NARUTO JAPANESE RESTAURANT

3. ARIZONA // WELCOME CHICKEN + DONUTS

Phoenix, Arizona
If you think a doughnut shop is the wrong place to find excellent ramen, think again. Welcome Chicken + Donuts serves doughnut sandwiches, Korean Fried Chicken, and a top-notch Tonkotsu-style ramen. It comes with alkaline noodles, house-made pork bone broth, and tasty fixings including braised pork belly, kimchi, fish cakes, and a marinated egg. Vegan ramen lovers can order the Vegan Ramen, which comes with roasted vegetable broth, mushrooms, and braised jackfruit.
4. ARKANSAS // THE SOUTHERN GOURMASIAN
Location:
Little Rock, Arkansas
With both a food truck and a brick and mortar restaurant, The Southern Gourmasian makes it easy for Little Rock residents to satisfy their ramen cravings. The restaurant’s decadent ramen bowl contains pork shoulder, smoky dashi (a Japanese soup stock), and a perfectly poached egg.
5. CALIFORNIA // MOMONA
Location:
Chico, California
Los Angeles and San Francisco have large Japanese-American populations, which gives Californians a multitude of superb, authentic ramen options. But for something more unconventional, head to Momona, a noodle and bao restaurant in Northern California. Get the Chico Ramen, which magically incorporates elements of Japanese and Hawaiian cooking. The dish contains roasted chicken dashi, Hawaiian-style chicken, kale chips, pickled shiitakes, garlic schmaltz, and an egg.
6. COLORADO // UNCLE
Location:
Denver, Colorado
If you’re craving custom-made noodles, savory broth, and fresh ingredients, head to Uncle. This ramen shop in the Lower Highland neighborhood serves a variety of ramen bowls, including pork, kimchi, and duck. But order the Spicy Chicken Ramen for a delicious mixture of spicy sesame broth (simmered for 16 hours), tahini-soy-chili, and bean sprouts.
7. CONNECTICUT // MIDNIGHT RAMEN
Location:
New Haven, Connecticut
If you’re up late on a Friday or Saturday night, head to Midnight Ramen, a sushi restaurant that transforms into a ramen shop when the clock strikes midnight. The Spicy Miso Ramen will tantalize you as you sip broth that’s been simmered for 10 hours and munch on springy noodles, bamboo, and a soft-boiled egg.
8. DELAWARE // RAMEN KUMAMOTO
Location:
Newark, Delaware
At Ramen Kumamoto, located near the University of Delaware, it’s all about the noodles. Patrons can specify their preferred level of noodle firmness (extra soft, soft, firm, or extra firm) as they sit back in an authentic setting, manga mural included. The best dish is the Tan Tan Ramen, a spicy chicken broth with yellow wavy noodles, miso sesame paste, minced chicken or pork, and bean sprouts.
9. FLORIDA // KAPOW NOODLE BAR
Location:
Boca Raton, Florida
Mizner Park’s Kapow Noodle Bar combines Japanese, Vietnamese, and French cooking styles to create a unique, mouthwatering menu. Order the Pork Belly Ramen Tonkotsu for a generous serving of wheat noodles, pork belly, a six-minute egg, preserved bamboo shoots, and mushrooms. Because the broth simmers for 48 hours, it's flavorful, rich, and meaty.
10. GEORGIA // TAIYO
Location:
Decatur, Georgia
This spectacular craft ramen restaurant serves custom-made noodles, local produce, and cage-free, local farm eggs. Try the creative Duck Ramen or Lamb Tsukemen, which contain ingredients such as cilantro oil, garlic chili oil, and lamb bone dipping broth. If you want to electrify your taste buds even more, order an extra Spice Flavor Bomb, which gives you an explosive dose of Thai and Korean chili paste. And if you love your meal, the restaurant encourages you to buy a beer for the kitchen staff, which sounds like next-level tipping to us.
11. HAWAII // GOMAICHI
Location:
Honolulu, Hawaii
Hawaii has plenty of excellent ramen, and Gomaichi stands with the best of them. The restaurant imports sesame seeds from Japan and roasts them in-house each day for a truly authentic ramen experience. Order the Chicken Shoyu Ramen for a savory, salty dish.
12. IDAHO // YOI TOMO
Location:
Boise, Idaho
Yoi Tomo might draw crowds for its sushi, but the ramen is the real star. Chewy noodles, spicy broth, scallions, a red cabbage garnish, and sesame seeds round out the ramen, which is available on the dinner menu. Good news: Students and faculty at nearby Boise State University get a small discount.
13. ILLINOIS // RAMEN TAKEYA
Location:
Chicago, Illinois
If most ramen you encounter tastes oily and heavy, consider trying Ramen Takeya. The Spicy Chicken Paitan Ramen features egg noodles, pork belly, and marinated bamboo shoots in a light chicken broth, made with bones from cage-free chickens. A soft-boiled egg, mushrooms, onions, scallions, and chili complement the savory flavors.
14. INDIANA // RAMEN RAY
Location:
Indianapolis, Indiana
At Ramen Ray, the Spicy Miso is a favorite because of its abundance of sweet corn, reddish brown miso-based broth, and perfectly soft-boiled egg. And if you’re not super hungry, don’t fret: All ramen dishes are available in half portion sizes.
15. IOWA // SEOUL GRILL
Location:
Iowa City, Iowa
Located on Clinton Street, Seoul Grill may sound like the best spot for Bibimbap or Bulgogi rather than ramen. But this inexpensive restaurant’s Korean twist on the Japanese dish will expand your mind and your taste buds. Get the Rice Cake Ramen, which comes with a sliced rice cake and egg, or the Korean Ramen, served with veggies.
16. KANSAS // RAMEN BOWLS
Location:
Lawrence, Kansas
Drawing inspiration from the flavors of Honolulu’s Chinatown, Ramen Bowls offers a huge selection of decadent ramen. The shop makes its own noodles and miso (including vegan and gluten-free options), and the Loaded Kimchi Ramen is amazingly fresh.

17. KENTUCKY // MILKWOOD
Location:

18. LOUISIANA // UMAMI JAPANESE BISTRO
Location:
Baton Rouge, Louisiana
is named for the taste sensation of savoriness, and it delivers on that promise.

19. MAINE // PAI MEN MIYAKE

20. MARYLAND // REN’S RAMEN
Location:
Silver Spring, Maryland
Ren’s Ramen treats its noodles seriously. The restaurant imports wavy noodles from Sapporo in Hokkaido (an island of Japan), then ages them in a temperature- and humidity-controlled environment. Don’t miss the Sapporo Style Shoyu Ramen, a soy sauce ramen with pork broth, roast pork, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, onion, garlic, and scallions.
21. MASSACHUSETTS // SHŌJŌ
Location:
Boston, Massachusetts
The downtown spot Shōjō delights customers with its Shiitake Mushroom Mazeman (ramen without broth). Because it lacks broth, the mazeman lets Shōjō’s springy noodles shine without being drowned in liquid. If you want to turn your ramen experience into a truly decadent feast, order a side of the duck fat hand-cut fries, which are served with Sriracha aioli.
22. MICHIGAN // JOHNNY NOODLE KING

Detroit, Michigan
At Johnny Noodle King, noodles are treated like royalty. Take a seat and dig into the Shoyu Ramen, made with a hearty mix of pork, chicken, and fish broth. The dish also contains your choice of pork belly or shredded pork, fermented bamboo shoots, an egg, cured fish surimi, and nori.

24. MISSISSIPPI // SALTINE
Location:
Jackson, Mississippi
An oyster bar in Jackson probably isn’t the first place you’d go for great ramen, but appearances can be deceiving.

25. MISSOURI // HIRO ASIAN KITCHEN

Location:
Montclair, New Jersey
This popular ramen shop (its name is Japanese for "older brother") offers customers six thoughtfully crafted ramen options.

31. NEW MEXICO // O RAMEN AND CURRY HOUSE
Location:
Albuquerque, New Mexico
At O Ramen and Curry House, the ramen is warm and the broth takes time to perfect. Chefs allow 24 hours from start to finish to prepare the broth and noodles, and you can taste the care that goes into dishes such as the Tofu Ramen (fried salt and pepper tofu, bamboo shoots, ginger, and scallions).
32. NEW YORK // MR. TAKA RAMEN

Manhattan is a major culinary destination for ramen, and popular spots such as Ippudo and Momofuku top many critics’ lists of the best ramen in the Big Apple.
