Nomiya - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

My partner and I have been pretty much all over Japan for work and we decided to have our anniversary dinner at Nomiya. We decided that we wanted something that felt like home and illuminated a familiar atmosphere as the Japanese ramen-ya’s we’ve spent long nights at in mainland Japan. Our server, Christie, welcomed us with open arms and a friendly/welcoming personality. Incredibly nice and helpful. We were so satisfied with our ramen, appetizers, and Orion beer. Also the pork buns and edamame with that splash of yuzu flavoring was bomb. Thank you! We will be back 💕 It honestly felt like we were back home in Japan and forgot we were in America 🇯🇵

Best ramen I've had in a while. The noodles were perfect and the broth was super flavorful! Get the extra chili oil on the side. It's 🔥

Really yummy and nice atmosphere for realsies

very cute place! limited menu but the broths on all the ramen options are incredible. It is not on the menu but if you ask there is a vegetarian ramen option that is really good too. want to go back soon!

Good ramen in a really cute restaurant and very friendly servers. I just enjoyed my time eating there. Service was great. Be warned--the spicy ramen is VERY spicy, even at "half spice", but full of flavor!

Haven't been here in years. First time at the new location; It's much bigger. The food is still scrumptious. Will not wait so long to return. The staff was friendly. The only downside was being set right by the dishwasher entrance. It was so noisy.

Fantastic service and delicious full-flavored ramen! The only thing that could make this establishment even better would be if they had capybaras to pet!

Very Nice Place. Food was very good and im a very picky eater. So it was great

Nomiya is a great spot with quick service A simple setup and I'm always left happy with my meal.

i have been going to nomiya for years. was almost going once a week at one point. service and quality has fallen off since moving to the new location. i’ve received wrong orders, cold food, clumped noodles etc. then when i actually try to still give them a chance they start closing the kitchen early and refuse to seat us before closing hours listed online. under the old ownership they would sit us until close.

Amazing ramen, never disappoints. My favorite ramen in the city (I've had hangout, little Tokyo, union ramen, Kin when it was open, royal sushi & bar, jinya in BR) and Nomiya is my fave. It is a little pricy for the portion, but 11/10

I believe this is the best ramen in the city. It's really all about the broth for me and Nomiya's is perfect. So happy they're in a new, larger location. But they do takeout too and that makes me very happy.

service was okay and beautiful restaurant. the food itself was just okay. my server forgot a drink and charged me for it but i got my money back for it after asking about it. we ordered the veggie and kuro. the broth wasn’t that flavorful, the noodles were okay. lots of toppings and appetizer was good.

Hands down the best Ramen in NOLA!!

Very good Ramen soup! I highly recommend Nomiya.

Love the ramen here; love taking my sister here

Checking out ramen places is certainly one of my main objectives when I go to a city I've not previously visited, and Nomiya made the list. Situated in a nice neighbourhood with bars and other places nearby, this is one which has pretty decent ramen. 👌 I had a very warm welcome, and the service was excellent, as noted below. Starting, they serve their edamame cooked and then chilled with a citrus feeling light dressing. For me personally, I prefer warm with either soy sauce or seaweed. The buns were good, and the pickles home made, which was great. Some juices from the pickles made the bottom of the well prepared buns a little bit soggy. The ramen - I went for the kuro with black garlic. Broth and garlic were good. The pork was very good and soft. They served with sweetcorn that was chilled and cooled the broth, which was not hot enough then moving forward for me, but this may be a local thing. The chilli oil was not as one would expect, that being slick and oily, and was more of a siracha style but tasty and homemade and great the bottom. Service was great, in fact faultless, to be fair, and this was something that one ought to take into account, though, and there was a good atmosphere overall. This is worth a visit and a good local place. You're supporting the right sort of restaurant. They make everything just about right, but just a touch more care is needed in my view.

I ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen. The broth was outstanding! The entire dish was delicious. The pork was very tender, however I wish there had been a bit more 😋. I'll definitely keep this place on regular rotation.

Update: the broth is awesome! delicious!

I wish there was a few more menu and alcohol options but otherwise it was good. The little funny juice box sake was ok

I had a great time at Nomiya! I got the pork tonkotsu ramen with seaweed and fish cakes added, and it was delicious! The sweet braised pork was tender and perfectly seasoned, and the broth was rich and delicious. It was the perfect warm meal for a rainy day, and definitely worth the drive though the flash-flooded streets afterwards. The food was brought to us very soon after ordering, and the service was wonderful. We were given free candies for desert! The restaurant was very nicely decorated as well, with murals on the walls and lanterns hanging from the ceiling. The bathrooms were ramen themed too, and they were absolutely adorable. I would definitely recommend Nomiya!

I tried black garlic ramen, it was too rich for me, so I couldn’t finish it… But still good. I love the atmosphere of the restaurant. So much Japan vibe!!!

If you're aiming for a quiet satisfying ramen experience this is your spot. The flavors are good, the service is very personable and nice. It's a good place to visit!

Awesome food, service, and atmosphere....

I'm in love with this place! Wonderful little ramen shop located in the garden district. The menu is small and manageable like it should be, simple to order and know what you want, with incredible flavors. I had the pork buns and kuro ramen this time around and it was outstanding! Can't wait to go back. Update 1/9, they now have alcohol! Food is still so good 👍

The tenderist pork with flavor I ever tasted!

100,000,000% Recommend this place best ramen EVERRR. And the service is great.

Nomiya is my favorite. They have the best ramen in the city.

service was amazing and very fast and the restaurant itself is so cute! food was really good, maybe not AMAZING haha — but! still really good, would recommend, especially as a warming meal also, the person i went with had veggie ramen, which they also liked! note — veggie ramen is “off menu”, so you just have to ask for the vegetarian ramen (all other ramens on the menu has pork)

Went here for the first time with my boyfriend — it was great

This ramen cured my hangover two days in a row. Magical broth

Highly recommend! We were pleasantly surprised to find such a delicious ramen place. The service was excellent, too.

Everything was perfectly delicioso 😋

I loved Nomiya at the old location and love the at this new one too! Waitstaff was friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious. The meat here is so so tender, you barely have to bite it before it melts in your mouth. I love the "too-spicy" ramen, but know it is REALLY hot. If you like spice challenges, this is the one for you! The new location is much larger, with outdoor seating. I do miss the awesome mural at the other location, but there is so much more wall space for other cute murals. I was so distracted by the food, I forgot to take pictures of the restaurant, but I did get this picture of the Naruto themed bathroom!!

Great place to get a quick ramen bowl, located at a nice area of the city where its possible to walk around

The area looks pretty but noodles too oily and little sweet. I’m not recommended come back again.

Delicious ramen! Staff is really nice and the interior is really cute, too. I love the lanterns

Food is Definitely not worth the hype. I had a lot lot better ramen in new orleans. Service was great.

What an excellent experience. Loved it!!!!!

The BEST ramen in the entire state of Louisiana. Nothing compares. I’ve been coming here since I heard about it in 2018!! I first tried ramen when I lived in Seattle. This place is awesome in comparison. I won’t go anywhere else in Louisiana

Great service. Very clean. Alittle too expense for me the buns were meh. Cute shirt though! The broth was more like gravy imo but glad I got to try it out!

The tonkotsu has ok broth and noods, but the pork tasted like fish.

Very easy menu, delicious options. My favorite Ramen place in town.

The food was good as usual however I waited long after other tables were served. It was just me eating and I ordered my food before all of them. I wasn’t sure why mine came so late. I asked for my ramen spicy and it came without spice. The waiter explained to me that the chili oil bottle is what makes it spicy but did not give me one with my meal.

Absolutely love this place. I’ve lived in NOLA for 17 years but never thought they would have such a good ramen place. I had the pork buns with edamame. I believe i had got the geki-kara aka the too spicy.

This was my first time having ramen and it was really delicious. It was extremely flavorful. The service was great. The atmosphere is amazing. Loved it. Definitely will be back 💜

Their geki-Kara was absolutely on point, went full spice and totally worth it, the soft boiled egg was a great compliment to their very tender, almost falling apart pork tenderloin. Highly recommended for anyone local or touring the city!

This review is gonna be slightly unfair, but respectful. So, I just got back from a trip to Japan where I had a lot of ramen and other soups. I wad excited to try some ramen spots at home to see if I could find an acceptable option. I've been meaning to come to Nomiya for years but life has been busy and I couldn't make it. Anywho, on to the food. I got the standard pork tonkatsu with added seaweed and Naruto. Comparing this to Japan, there were a few things missing. The broth lacked the depth of flavor that almost all ramen spots in japan had. The other big thing missing was unctuousness. Tonkatsu is supposed to be thick and creamy. The broth here felt like they didn't add enough marrow for the stock or something. Also, the seaweed they gave me was wet..? You're supposed to get dry nori sheets that you can either keep dry or add to the broth yourself. My next big gripe is cost. 17 bucks for soup? I know yall are on magazine and rent is high but come on. Most pho places charge like 12 bucks for a bigger bowl of soup. Ramen in and of itself is a poor man's food. Last gripe. I was supposed to get a soy egg and never got one. My buddy got an egg in his but only one half of an egg. In summation, I know this isn't japan and there really isn't any comparison, but you can do better. At least be on par with the quality pho we have in this city as far as value for money.

I’m just going to be honest. When I first found Nomiya my boyfriend and I would go every Friday. However, once they moved to their new location we noticed a decline in the quality of the food. The broth isn’t as flavorful, the noodles come out half cooked.. just not as good as it once was. I think I’m just about done coming here. I’ve gone at least once a month to see if they would improve again but to no luck. The service is always amazing and the staff is always attentive and friendly, but the food has declined and the price has increased.

I love Nomiya. This was my 1st time visiting the new location on Magazine. It's more spacious and has outdoor seating. Ramen is always delightful! The Pork Tonkotsu ramen is my absolute favorite. I normally add my own spice to give it an extra kick ginget tea is excellent as well whole meal 10/10.

Super awesome! Tastes are very similar to what I ate in Japan. Love the location!

Nomiya has moved to a new location. Still delicious!!!! Best ramen in NOLA! Allergy friendly! Vegetarian friendly!

I brought my daughter here for some celebratory ramen. This was our first visit, but it won't be our last. The service was great all around, very friendly and attentive staff. The food was delicious and definitely lived up to previous positive reviews. I had the kuro ramen and added seaweed and fish cakes to it. My daughter had the pork tonkotsu and added fish cakes to her order. I also had the Yuzu lemonade, which was top-notch. If you love citrus, I highly recommend this drink. We also got an order of the pork buns and the mochi of the day, which was mango. Mango mochi for the win. Portions for the ramen were big enough that we took the rest home for lunch for the next day. Needless to say, we ate well and regret nothing. Again, we'll definitely be back.

Food options are very limited here so unless you really like pork I wouldn't recommend. There is a vegetarian option for broth but it definitely left me wanting something else. Atmosphere and service was good. Our server was actually pretty darn good.

BEST. RAMEN. ON. THE. PLANET. Also really cute aesthetic and environment. 11/10 recommend!

Go and you won't be disappointed! You don't need much. creative environment. wall murals of Golden Gai by the black painted booths. Ramen was not the traditionally soup. Though, tasty soup flavor. I had the Geki-Kaku "Too Spicy" ramen and my son Tonkotsu. All things in the bowl cooked just right. And the pork, the pork. Speechless! Insanely buttery melts in your mouth! Right portion to me. Their housemade yuzu lemonade and ginger lemonade were great complimentary to their dishes. Staff was friendly. He had recommended a few places while we were in town.

Well this was amazing! What a vibe. Walking down magazine street. Popped in. Food knocked me out! The steam buns insane. Broth was tasty with plenty of flavour and pork. The server John provided great service! Super chilled atmosphere and Greta portion size. Love it. Will 100% go back

This place is amazingly 🔥 🔥🔥🔥 and the Vietnamese girl who works her is hot.
