Ramen Lab Eatery — Restaurant in Boca Raton

Small, tiny restaurant with available outdoor seating serving up ramen, poke bowls, donburi & Asian tapas.

Went here on a Thursday night, the place were packed. We ordered online, and walked in the restaurant two minutes earlier than the given pick up time. Our order wasn't ready. We paid for our food, and as we waited, we decided to dine in instead.

The place was really busy. While waiting, we observed few customers complained to the staffs about how long have they been waiting for their order. The staffs did their best to maintain composure, but some were showing a little bit of frustration as well.

After waiting additional 10 minutes for our order, we found out that apparently they were waiting on one item to be served, while the rest was already packaged in the bag sitting on the counter. So we asked for the bag and went ahead and serve ourself with those items that were ready.

The Ramen Tonkotsu, would have been great had the broth was served hotter. It was at room temperature as it was sitting in a bag for over 15 minutes. As the case with the Pan Seared Gyoza. The Bao Bros Bun with Chicken Karaage however was hot and tasty when it was finally brought to our table, about another 10 minutes after we started eating (this was the one item that was not in the bag yet).

Overall, the food was still tasty and delicious, and could have been better had they were served in a timely manner. Hopefully we would have a better experience on our next visit, because we will return to give it...

I've been to many ramen places, east coast, west coast, middle of the country, and abroad. This is easily one of my top 5 ramen places. The most important piece, the ramen. The broths are so full and rich in flavor with varying levels of spiciness for each bowl if requested. All ingredients taste very fresh and the noodles taste very full of flavor, too. I always find an issue with the noodles in some places but these don't dissapoint!! Their appetizers are great and I would highly recommend their BAO buns that have a great combination of ingredients and flavors. And for dessert, a nice great fluffy Japanese cheesecake awaits you, providing a perfect light end to your meal.

The staff are so kind and friendly. This is a place where you order at the counter, take a number, and they bring it to you. But it might as well be a sit down restaurant because the staff is so friendly and will still take care of you during and after your meal. They are always so kind and make you feel welcome.

The location and restaurant is very nice. Has a nice trendy indoors with a chalkboard that they change up with cool designs and is cozy. They also have a great patio outside which has been great for COVID to make us feel more comfortable and safe.

All in all, I love this place. It's right in the heart of Boca and by Mizner Park, so it's a great spot to be in. Would highly recommend this ramen place to anyone in...

I've been to this place so many times and when I first started going here 2-3 years ago the food was amazing. The quality was good, good size portions, and a fair price, but over the past year their prices have kept increasing while the portions get smaller and the quality has gone down. My favorite thing to get was always the tonkotsu ramen and the broth always had so much flavor, but especially recently it just tastes so bland everytime. The portions and lesser quality really aren't worth the higher price. They also regularly forget entire items ordered when getting take out. They gyoza, which are pan-fried and meant to be crispy, are usually somewhat soggy. The katsudon is also very bland and flavorless, the katsu is on top of egg instead of having the egg cooked on it and they don't serve it with any sauce like how the dish is meant to be prepared. Most non-ramen menu items are very bland and overpriced for the portion, but anymore that is true about the ramen as well. Some of the staff is very friendly, but others are regularly very rude. When they aren't as busy the employees will stand around talking and make you wait to take your order even though they aren't doing anything else. Overall, this place has really gone down hill and isn't worth going anymore there are way better ramen places with better quality food, bigger portions, and lower prices around to...
