Nagoya House Hibachi & Ramen — Restaurant in Memphis

I went three different times and we tried different dishes, the food was brought to the table,teriyaki tofu, Then finally,the main course of chicken and rice bowls were served. We all enjoyed the food, but the service was very slow. On the second visit we sat in a booth, it was good until we were accidentally hit by cleaner, during our meal we were sprayed with cleaning chemicals. This was bad, We both had to leave the booth because we were coughing, we told the front Counter People about the fumes coming into our booth, I left the rest of my meal because I felt like my food had also been sprayed. The staff said they would Change the cleaner, and no longer use the one that had us coughing and I met another friend for lunch this time, It was not comfortable, because it was very hot inside the restaurant. The service was quick,the food was good, but I just wanted to leave as soon as possible!!! The Space was just too hot. Several groups of people walking in also commented how Hot it was. New Update: Unfortunately my friend and I believed our issues to be resolved about the cleaning Chemicals. My friend and her husband came to try the food and she told me that they were also Sprayed with Cleaning Chemicals. Sadly We all feel Nagoya House did not care enough about...

A small local place. I got the tonkotsu ramen and a pork belly bao.

Unlike other ramen places in town they use a lot less ingredients in their bowls and seem to focus on quality and authenticity. There were only two additions to my ramen - an egg (extra cost) and chashu pork (free)

The egg was over-marinated. Too much soy flavor. Not a big deal though.

The chashu pork was very good but they chopped it into bite size pieces. I have never seen this at any ramen restaurant. It's usually sliced. I think I prefer it sliced.

The broth and noodles are what matter though. Absolutely the best broth and noodles of any ramen spot in Memphis. The real deal for sure. A lot of other local places have a weird metallicky flavor to the broth and the noodles are too starchy. Both perfect here. I will say the broth is spicier than their guidelines. I have a good spice tolerance and mild was just right for me. If you don't like spicy, don't get any at all.

The pork belly bao was also very good - simple like the ramen. Just pork and the bun with some sauce....

it’s right on Young Ave in-between Goner Records & Imagine Vegan cafe. The inside is set up where there are some spaces that are booths with privacy curtains, and the other part of the restaurant has booths on one side and chairs on the other (I uploaded a picture for reference). The menu is very easy to understand, and is easily customizable. We each did a build your own Ramen, one with miso broth and the other was tonkatsu broth. Both were really great! We each got the Hosomem noodles. I also got the steamed pork dumplings, which were really good. We also tried the braised pork bun which my bf LOVED. The service was great and we definitely recommend to anyone in the area or even to those willing to make the drive to midtown. Their service was great, too! We went on a Sunday and it seemed to have minimal staff, but it did not take long for food to come out. Everything was made to order and fresh. Oh! The fried rice is a very large portion in my opinion. It is about $15 but I think it’s worth it...
