Yelper Jaron H., who reviewed Ramen Koo on June 8, wrote, "[The] ramen was good. Noodles, broth, toppings — all on point. Sushi was nice as well. But the chicken was the best part. Meat falls off the bone and is maximum tasty."

Rhonda W. noted, "[The] broth was incredible. Noodles were perfect. Firmer than I've had but I loved it and the noodles were small. The chashu was amazing. [The] only negatives were they didn't have black garlic oil and the serving was small."
