The Ramyun Library — Restaurant in Carrollton

Went to explore new with grandkids... Epic fail. No structure at all .u walk in try to figure out what to do..after no guidance, u see a lot of people in a sort line, u figure out u order on a large tablet, no explanation of what ur ordering, guess at best .2 bowls of noddles with 2 lil sides added and 2 drinks for my grandkids.. over 40.00..then my husband and I ordered very small..can coke 2.50 wow and warm .they place them out while making several orders ahead of time... Another 30.00 ..total for soups 3 soups and drinks .. over 70.00:( after u order someone from counter says...an hour wait.. no seats. People grabbing up seats and hour earlier as they order..so u get your food .hot soup u make ..drinks . imagine trying to help kids juggle that while standing to eat it? Really. Not nearly enough seats . Period. So last minute had to dash for a seat with kids to see others walking up to take seats because they have been told it's an hour and half now to get orders out .only 2 people in front traying up food and iced drinks to sit for 45 plus minutes because no seats avab for orders .and did I mention only 6 "cookers" in a row to get hot water and stir so thr 6 people up at what looks like a hot coffee maker .. approx 5-6 minutes each to fix their noodle bowls..if not for telling kids we would stay and see it through ...would of definitely walked out.. never seen a manager, a person directing any control iver seating ..after grabbing a few seats last minute .. had to walk up and wait and wait for an employee to give rag to wipe the area we was sitting in.. it was crazy to say the least .. at some point a person needs to stand at door letting them know the seating isn't avab until they have food . Entirely whole tables had people sitting after they ordered .. holding up seats so the people who had been standing for well over an hour had to stand with expensive food and stare for a seat . As I mentioned .no order. Just as it's open seating in a concert ..it's every man for themselves...the long lines made people upset and then when u try to get up u have to have someone sit and not be able to fix food so they can save the seats..pushy people move your stuff and sit down while ur making food and grandson returned only to have seat taken and rude lady seen it was his because against my notice he left his cell on seat to save ..she picked it up and placed on table and sat anyways ..she had just walked in to order and I could from where I was .. only to be told like is a long wait..we stood for nearly an hour waiting on a seat until people left .rude customers was just complaining in and walking to taken seats people got up to make their soup ....it was a mess.. never again..not nearly worth the money, drive..and with out the experience of the variety of soups ... The food was sub standard. Not being a Karen ..I appreciate the service, food, atmosphere at restaurants and do not mind paying for it..but this..well let's just say ... Be prepared to stand. And over pay for...

This place has a cool concept but you’re definitely paying for convenience/experience over anything. You could get the same ramyun at the HMART up the street and sides for cheaper + more of it to make at home. (None of these are exclusive that you couldn’t purchase elsewhere.)

You place orders at one of the two kiosks right by the entrance. Ramyuns are $6.99 and they offer with broth, without broth and vegetarian options.

You have the option to add sides (only up to 4) and prices for them are $0.99, $1.99 and $2.50. (picture for reference)

Drinks options are soda, water and a Pineapple Passionfruit Ade. Prices from $2-6 (water being the cheapest)

Ordered at 1:47:37 PM and was called over to make the ramyun at 2:04 PM. Sides are all laid out for you on a tray and they place the ramyun packet in the bowl. The employees help walk you through making the ramyun. It took about 5 minutes to make .

When we got called over there were about 5 other people seated (with food) and two at the kiosks. I know they’re newly opened so that might be why but it did seem like a decent wait time.

Music was a little loud for my liking but they did have the music videos playing on several TVs.

Bathrooms and dining area were clean. (Didn’t get any photos)

Definitely recommend trying at least once but not worth the price point if you know how to make it at home.

For reference I ordered two of the -ade’s($12), ramen with sides ($13+$12) and it totaled to...

Hidden behind 2 MEGAchain restaurants, this little nook is quaint and cute. While I do love to make ramen at home, this experience is a little more abstract. It's not necessarily about eating the food but more about the time spent with your food. I decided to get the Shin Black Ramen, added pork goyza, egg & green onion to the mixture. You receive your items fairly quickly and proceed to put your "pot" on the hot table. It takes roughly 300 seconds to cook. As you stir, take your phone out and Snapchat your experience as you will be there for a moment. The tabletop is cafeteria style so, pick where you sit. Eating ramen here for a second, gave me an idea of what Naruto must feel like enjoying ramen at his local eatery. Cheesy sure, but honestly.

While I don't recommend purchasing a drink here, it drives the price up too much, I can say that the ramen was delicious. Normally I have a few more fixings added into my Ramen, but what was provided was sufficient. This place may not be for everyone but you can order to go! I'm sure you can find these packages at your local K-Town market down the street, but this was a nice way to experience ramen a little...
