I had the Jiro Ramen and it was so good! It is a little pricy for ramen but every once in a while I would come to get! Very different atmosphere for what I would expect but it was still very nice and simple. There was so much flavor in the egg as well.

Don't do takeout. I wanted to eat it in my car. I get the food and the noodles and the meat felt like they just came out of the fridge. The broth was barely warm.Im working and dont have a place to warm up the food. I have to wait until I get home. Defeated the purpose I went there for.I ordered at 7:45 got there 8. No reason for the food to feel like it just came out of the fridge.They also don't have plastic forks for takeout.Heads up if you plan on eating in call ahead bc the place looks packed.Very disappointed. I'm seriously hungry and need to wait until I'm off work to eat this expensive ramen now.

I have been to this location a couple of times and have enjoyed each visit, the food has always been impressive. I went tonight with my husband and it was very busy but we got a seat right away, so that was awesome. But they squeeze you into a family table that allows no space for you to eat properly without bumping into the stranger next to you. The spicy cucumbers and pork belly buns were very good but the ramen was def a disappointment. The egg was raw and cold….not soft boiled, it was inedible. The broth lacked flavor and was very oily, it’s been a while so maybe it’s was always oily and I can’t remember but it seemed more than I remember. Our server was amazing and attentive. Overall for $80+ dollars it seemed quite overpriced for what we got. Would most likely not return.

Great for ramen. Love the open kitchen. Food is all very good. Service is great. If you plan ahead the wash park location takes reservations. In highlands expect a wait. Go several times a year. Can feel a bit crowded but still comfortable. Not cheap but you are definitely getting quality, tasty food.
T was our server. We share names! They were the best server I’ve had in a very long time. Upon looking at the menu I hesitated about what I would order due to majority of ramens having pork broth. (I don’t eat pork at all) when I told T this they let me know that the restaurant would accommodate my dietary restrictions and make a ramen bowl with pork less broth. This made me so happy. Not many restaurants do that at all. I was overwhelmed with the quality of the food, the service. It was all amazing. T is a phenomenal server. Owners if you are reading this. This person definitely deserves high recognition and a raise. Thank you Uncle Ramen for an amazing experience.
I frequently eat at Uncle and love it! Unfortunately this evening I had a less than pleasant experience and I would hate for any other customer to have the same experience at your establishment. When calling to place a to-go order I was met with extremely rude and disrespectful customer service. I felt as if I was a nuisance by causing inconvenience to this employee by placing my order. I never do this but I don’t think this employee’s behavior should go unnoticed. When I picked up my order, I mentioned my experience to the employee at the door helping me and I explained why I wouldn’t be tipping and they reassured me jokingly that there was already a 15% gratuity added - although I didn’t take that as a joke - and then shrugged off my frustration by saying it wasn’t them who answered my call. If you hate your job, you should look for something else :)
This spot is popular, so get there early during the week, or be prepared to wait, as they don't take reservations. The atmosphere is casual and hip, with attentive and effective staff. The food my husband and I tried was delicious. The Chinese Eggplant Buns (two per order) were amazing: steamed buns stuffed with Fried Chinese eggplant, miso mayo, pickled plum mustard seed dressing, and cabbage slaw. The Spicy Chicken Ramen with a meat based spicy sesame broth, seared confit chicken, bean sprouts, and soft poached egg was also very tasty. The prices are higher than average, with a bowl of ramen priced at $19, and I found it a little surprising (and disappointing) to be charged extra for a small side of sauce that was suggested by our waitress. Still, Uncle is definitely worth a visit to experience their unique take on the traditional Japanese staple!

This place is top notch ramen. The only downsides are: they don’t take reservations (because the place is small), and there’s no parking. But definitely love this place and highly recommend it!
