I decided to give this place a try despite the bad reviews. Don’t be like me.The good: The chashu buns appetizer was tasty.The bad: the ramen was really disappointing… the broth was bland and almost flavorless, and the broth is the most important part of ramen.The ugly: the ramen is not only bad, it’s the main thing they serve. Don’t go here.The service was fine, but they were short staffed and so they didn’t have a bartender which meant none of the mixed drinks on the menu were available.

This place is horrible! Seriously don’t eat here. They charge $25-$30 per bowl of “ramen” and “wonton”. The ramen broth was watery and bland. The wonton filling was gummy and over cooked.You can seriously buy instant ramen and it would taste better! We have kids and they even said it was bad and our kids eat almost any noodle.They should go hit up JFC distributor and buy tonkotsu broth in a jar! Like for that price you can anything and it would taste better. I don’t understand how and where they make the ramen or broth. It’s just bad. Just don’t eat here even if you’re hungry cuz it won’t satisfy and will leave a bitter taste in your mom. I’m sorry but management needs to go watch some noodle making YouTube’s or go eat at a ramen shop. Pick the worse one and I think it’ll still taste better. I’m sorry but I can’t get over how much we paid for bad food.

Stumbled across this restaurant at our hotel and was excited to have some ramen. Very underwhelmed.... Walk in, order, and take number to a table of your choice. We ordered 2 miso ramens, edamame, and a hot sake. The ramen broth was Luke warm, too salty, and essentially no flavor. It had what looked like a spinach salad for vegetables. The egg had a weird salty taste to it. Definitely would not recommend or come back.

The ramen here is quite awful, the broth is just seaweed water.

Please, whatever you do.... don't eat here. Eat any shin ramen and you'll enjoy your meal way more. The tonkotsu ramen broth tastes like water without any salt while the large piece of meat is completely flavorless. It's literally boiled meat and seaweed

Love this place post skiing! We skied right up to the door for some warm ramen post rainy day runs! We were promptly greeted at the door and our order came out quicker than our noses defrosted! :)

I’m not sure what all of the negative reviews are - a lot of them seemed like they were for a different restaurant? When we visited, the ramen was great, especially after a day of getting rained on while skiing. Would recommend and will definitely be going again!

I was very excited to have this ramen place close to our hotel especially on a cold winter day. All I can say is that Shin top ramen beats this place. What a disappointment...

As a noodle house, the taste of the tonkatsu ramen is really disappointing. The tonkatsu is so lean and hard to chew. The soup tastes like water and not adding any salt. The karage we ordered also over fried and the size of each piece are not even. There is a giant piece at one side and other much smaller pieces on the other side.

I had an extremely disappointing experience at Iron Road Noodle House especially with their ramen noodles. The noodles were "cooked fresh" according to the manager, they clearly weren't as we found clumps of cold frozen noodles within the flavorless broth, and the overall dish left much to be desired. I would highly discourage coming here and I won't be returning for another disgusting underwhelming meal. I would suggest you buy ramen noodles in the grocery store they will be 100 times better. Staff got very defensive when confronted, overall terrible service. Don't waste your time here and go to Sandy's, trust me when I say it's worth the wait.

This place was not the greatest we went there and first off the guy taking our orders forgot something but I was fine with that so we went on with our night and then my kids got served uncooked noodles and my food was cold and then I talked to the manager and she basically said it was normal
