Rizin Japanese Ramen Omaha

We stopped by at 6:30 on a Sunday night. We ordered karage fried chicken, chashu rice bowl, tako yaki, and ramen with chicken broth. The chashu bowl arrived first. The pork is cut quite thin and charred a bit. The taste is excellent and there is a slightly sweet and salty sauce in the rice. Next came the chicken which was a very large portion for the price. In fact, all of these dishes were round $7, which is a great deal. The chicken was white meat cut thin and fried with a very light crust. You miss some of the juicyness of a full breast, but the flavor is still there and the slightly sour sauce compliments it well. We also had the tako yaki octopus balls. These could have used just a dab more sauce, but the texture and flavor were still great. There was one piece of octupus hidden in each ball. The ramen had a light chicken broth with a savory, salty, and slightly sweet taste. The noodles were a little chewy as they should be. No complaints about the bean sprouts or bamboo. The chashu pork in this lacked the depth of flavor I’ve had at other ramen spots. It is thinner cut and lacks the umami to make it the perfect bite, but it is still quite good. Overall, I would highly recommend this spot for its unique dishes and flavors as well as great value.

Love this place. Service was absolutely outstanding. The food is fantastic. It came out quick and was hot. My type of restaurant. 10/10 mos def recommend.
