Ramen Nagomi — Restaurant in Lawrence Township

Previously, I visited one of their older, longstanding locations in New Brunswick, New Jersey, and I have consistently enjoyed their ramen, which is meticulously crafted with love and reverence for the culinary tradition that has been passed down through generations. Ramen Nagomi in Quakerbridge Mall is no exception to this culinary excellence, which I have consistently experienced since nearly a decade ago. I can now relive that experience at this mall and share it with others who are fortunate enough to encounter its unassuming presence!

On this occasion, my fiancé and I decided to order two appetizers: fried edamame and tofu nuggets, accompanied by karaage (fried chicken in Japanese style). The fried edamame and tofu nuggets were an excellent appetizer, not overly flavorful but satisfying and filling. The chicken karaage was exceptionally juicy, as karaage should always be. We were very pleased with the quality of the appetizers.

The main entrée was the Miso Crab Ramen, which featured a rich broth with an abundance of crab meat and pork chashu. The broth possessed a deep, flavorful profile that embodied both the traditional ramen broth and the crab and seafood umami that harmoniously blended to create a delectable and robust taste. The texture of the dish was satisfying and evocative of the crab used in its creation, elevating it to a culinary masterpiece. Although one of the more expensive dishes on the menu, being a crab dish, I decided to indulge and recommend it to you as well.

I was thoroughly impressed with the service. The waitress was attentive and courteous, and the chef was visible through the window diligently preparing each order with enthusiasm. The overall dining experience was exceptional, and I highly recommend Ramen Nagomi to anyone seeking a memorable ramen meal beyond the standard fare offered at the food court.

Recommend: karaage Ok: burnt garlic ramen, miso crab ramen

The noodles in the ramen were quite soggy and over cooked, though the portion of the noodles was quite large. The flavors in the broth were nice but the broth was a bit thin.

I guess they use shrimp shells to flavor the miso crab broth but it was pretty unpleasant to pull out the shrimp shells while eating. The burnt garlic had a very strong burnt taste and garlic taste, so it's definitely as advertised, but it was a little sad not to get to enjoy the tonkotsu broth flavors.

The crab on the miso crab ramen was a nice portion but it was cold like they had just pulled it from the fridge and put it on top. The eggs looked like the staff had a lot of problems shelling the eggs.

The karaage (fried chicken appetizer) however was nice and crisp and juicy.

Not a terrible showing for being in a mall, but would probably not find this experience compelling enough to return to...

Wow! I loved Ramen Nagomi. As a vegan, it has taken me longer than imaginable to find a flavorful, unique ramen, and Ramen Nagomi does a great job of making a spicy, hearty bowl of it. There were plenty of vegetables, noodles were fresh and cooked properly, and the tofu was delicious. The Tofu Bao was also so yummy-soft baos and hot and packed with veggies. The experience of dining in was very enjoyable, pricing was reasonable, and the waiters are friendly and helpful. I also admire that there are multiple vegan options, so you don't have to always substitute meat or force yourself to have the one vegan option. If you're looking for a hot bowl of ramen, I highly recommend doing dine-in for the best...
