  I definitely recommend going to Nudoru Ramen Bar (also, props to the name haha)!The food was pretty good, especially the ramen (obviously). The broth and stock were very flavorful and rich. We tried the shoyu, the spicy miso, and the dragon. The pork belly had a great umami taste, and the noodles had a nice bounce.We also had the octopus fritters (kind of like takoyaki, although different in the style of the batter and cooking method) It’s sauce was tdf and the corn complemented the fritter batter very well! We had the gyoza too, which was amazingly juicy! Although, it has a slightly different flavour than traditional gyoza. The service was very good, the decoration was beautiful, and the ambience was comforting :)Pictures:1. Wall Decal2. Octopus fritter cross-section3. Octopus Fritters4. Gyoza5.

  Duck in here on a cold day. A hearty and satisfying warm bowl of ramen is just what a frigid Edmonton winter calls for. I ended up in here on a particularly frosty afternoon and I was very pleased with my experience. I ordered the spicy dragon noodle dish, be warned this actually is spicy, like really spicy. The staff will actually warn you that they aren’t messing around with the heat, so don’t gripe if you get it and find it excessive, but for those of us who love the heat it actually delivers. What I really really loved about it though, is that it’s not a dish that all you taste is the spiciness, it is a good, complex broth. They don’t just deliver on the broth though, all the ingredients are quality and lend to the dish in an interesting way. The noodles texture is firm and chewy enough to have a gratifying mouthfeel, the meats are tender and savory, etc. Mine lone issue is the price. Maybe I am just untutored in ramen but isn’t this stuff supposed to be cheap? And it’s not like we’re talking about pho, with its beef and laborious prep times. I know what goes into these dishes and while you are paying for quality I still think these meals should come in just a hair cheaper. a buck cheaper and it would have been right where I would have assumed I would have been paying for it.

  If you’re coming to Nudoru you better be coming for the ramen. They have the all the standard varieties and a few in house specialties too. I tried the Dragon. I’m fairly good with heat but with the waitress’s suggestion I didn’t get the hottest version. This was a good call because they’re not lying, their soup is HOT (finally a place that lives up to the warning). Ramen was good but not the best I’ve had. Why was the soft boiled egg cold!?! Gyoza were nothing special. Service was fair.

  This is our favourite ramen spot in the city. After spending a month in Japan last year, we were craving ramen so badly. We didn’t want just any ramen though – we were craving the springy al dente homemade noodles and the savoury/rich broths we had grown accustomed to. Nudoru is the only place we can get that fix! We will continue to come here for their consistency and speed. Nothing warms you up better on a cold day. The dragon bowl is our favourite, but I also love the variety of broths and toppings they offer for the build your own option. I would say this spot is a ramen-only spot for us; we don’t get appetizers here. They do one thing very well, so I’d say stick to ramen while you’re here and you can’t go wrong.

  This place has a seriously nice decor that will suck you right in as you enter. It is a comfortable and cozy place to eat a bowl of ramen. It is a lot nicer and cleaner looking than Ninja ramen down the block. I ordered the octopus fritters and they were just OK. It was a lot more under-flavoured batter than anything. Sure, there was tako (octopus) inside, but it was overwhelmed by the mediocre batter. The tonkotsu ramen was OK. Same old Edmonton ramen like nomiya, ninja, etc. Not much to write home about. I also ordered this super spicy ramen and I should have listened to the servers because it was spicy in a way that was not edible. It’s nice as a youtube spicy ramen challenge maybe. It reminded me of spicy Northern Chicken that was all spice but no flair. Give this place a try if you’ve run out of ideas or if you are sick of all the other places on Whyte.

  This would have to be my fav ramen place so far. Good location. Nice interior. Good service. I like that there is a vegetarian option for their ramen. I’m not sure if I enjoyed their appetizers, but I would definitely recommend the ramen.

  Nudoru Bunger, Tonkotsu, Chili GomaNudoru opened up last year and is a solid choice if you on Whyte. Nuduro Bunger is the steamed bun with pork belly, pickled pears, grilled scallions and miso sauce. It tasted ok but the ratio of protein to bao was not that great. The tonkotsu had pork belly, pork shoulder, soft egg, black fungus, pickled onion and scallions. The broth was so-so, but it lacked some ingredients, definitely couldve had more noodles. Same goes for the Chili Goma that had spicy chili paste, chopped pork, nut pesto, arugula, and scallion. The saving grace for these ramens were that it looked pretty in the bowl. The main draw for coming to Nudoru is the fact you can customize your own bowl of ramen. You can choose the flavor, protein and all the toppings you want, which is a good thing if youre picky about whats in your ramen.The service was good and the interior is spacious. There is also a pretty dope mural on the wall as well. Located on Whyte ave and 105st, Nudoru is an ok spot to check out if youre craving a hot bowl of ramen.Sal says: Just Try It
